What Is Not Luminous - Can Still Be Luculent!

2012-12-12T00:12:00.000-08:00

Luculent And Succulent...!
Okay - maybe that is pushing it a little bit now...

The latin luculentus was not made up by us here at the TLB Prime Network - we assure thee! It has its deep root in the well-known lux and is all about what is bright, what is clear, what is of the Light...!

And thus, as such, this blog will contain nothing obtuse, nothing dark - and only things that are indeed both light, in content, and of The Light in spirit!

Let us start off on the rrrrrrrrrrrright note immediately with this obviously de-light-ful entry, straight from the bright lights of Bollywood:

NOTA BENE:
for those in doubt, the preceding falls in the category "light - in content" indeed!
Thank you!

'Tis St. Valentine's Day and what better way to celebrate it than by spreading the love with all manners of love symbols that are readily available and at our disposal, hmm?

As we used to paraphrase on another blog, at another time, right here on the TLB Prime Network, our very own mortality is one of the chief indicators that we have but NOW to say to one another that we love each other - for our time is short and wasting it in hatred is simply not the way to go.

The chiefest indicator of all though is another entirely: it is one that cannot be seen but only felt, for it is on the inside, it is within us, within us all...

Our hearts contain that sparkle of luminescence, the gift of divine essence that was given to us by God, and that hint can only spark love, an universal love as God Is Love and so are we when we are at our finest and closest to His Image indeed.

So spread the love today: with all manners of symbols such as these (hope you see them): ❤ (｡◕‿◕｡) ☆ ☺ ☮ ♫ (｡◕‿◕｡) ❤
❤ (｡◕‿◕｡) ❤ ☆ ☺ ♫ ❁ ☀ ❤ (｡◕‿◕｡) ❤

Spread the love with gifts, hugs, high fives, handshakes, handkisses, pecks on the cheeks, pats, long embraces and not so long ones...!

Spread the love with a smile.

Show off that spark of the Divine that is within you today!

Isto é que é...
Sempre Por O Melhor!

Speaking of the ever-so-transparent as ever-so-slight dichotomy between luculent and luminous...

It is easily grasped, too, why all of the following are considered to be either classics - or gems in the rough! (In the rough because they will only be fully accredited -as any single one of us will, in truth- once they reach the highest stage of all, and perform for the highest audience of all - on the Most High! Aye, only then! Until they reach the Heavens, in other words - not before!)

Each of the following is, simply put, quite divine indeed!

Thus... enjoy!

Sempre Por O Melhor

Whether it is on Easter week-end or at Christmas time, remembering your Lord and how He Paved The Way -for He Is The Way- for your salvation, is quite simply the Right Thing to do!

It cannot be made any clearer than that!

Oscar-Time = Tune Out Time!

2011-03-20T10:33:00.000-07:00

Oscar-time is a moment to ignore, in my world: for what is there to celebrate in Tinseltown?

They claim that in Hollywood "you can build a dream out of nothing" (Hugh Jackman claimed so much anyways) - but that is a total and utter lie. For everybody knows that it always takes money to make money; heck, it takes yogurt to make more yogurt out of milk...! That means everything else needs an initial investment too... Hence, evidently, what it means here is that in order to reach a fully-blossomed dream, your dream has to be already half-way there to begin with! Thanks, Tinseltown!

They claim that it is the event of the year - entertainment at its best. And yet, it is so tenuous, abysmally long and sleep-inducing that it boggles the mind...! Will & Jack admitted so much, at least - but it was all in jest, of course... However, as with everything else in Tinseltown, everything has a concealed meaning - everything is hiding something else... And the truth is oftentimes revealed in jest indeed - through wincing teeth!

The worst aspect has to be the heights of hypocrisy reached each and every year when a winner is announced - which automatically announces, also, four-to-five LOSERS. (Nominees or contenders, by any other name...)

Tinseltown, in truth, bears little difference from Sin City - it is a cut-throat, take-no-prisoners, show-no-mercy kinda neighbourhood that takes PLEASURE from the competition's downfall - and why not, since said competition is both fierce and merciless and to be found practically on every corner of the wretched place?

So, what do I do, each and every Oscar night?

I abstain from television altogether!
I do something far more constructive with the long hours otherwise wasted watching this 'ceremony' - I do something good for the environment, beneficial for the greater whole, make myself useful in the kitchen or something...!

For I will not be dictated what movies to watch. I will not be told which thespians are "worthier" and I will not be instructed which filmmakers to follow...

Nominees - schnimpanzees! I care not if the flick has been nominated or not - won it or not - is rated anything from A to Z...!

I WILL DECIDE WHAT SUBJECTS I WANT TO SEE TREATED ON FILM!

I WILL SELECT WHICH PRODUCTIONS I DEVOTE MY PRECIOUS TIME TO!

And I certainly will not waste said time on award shows OF ANY ILK!

The "Academy" is not even a true academy in the true meaning of the word...!!!

Their rating system is flawed to the core!

Whenever they give a chance to new talent, it is a pathway seamed with as many roadblocks and thorns as can be...!

Take *Project Green Light* for instance - have you ever heard of it again, after its inauguration by not one but two precious "Academy Award winners" - huh?

On YouTube, "Oscars" doesn't even make its precious videos -mere excerpts from their insufferably long Oscars night telecasts- available for embedding!

And said events are, once again, but a waste of everyone's time...

Oftentimes, the major winners are not even there to accept the prize - and when they do, they are BORING and repetitive! It's a no-win situation either way!

Not only that, but it can lead to truly odd live television moments - as when a Marlon Brando delegated someone else to take the award, in political protest... Or when the winner simply refuses the award, on the spot, also in protest!

The Oscars, as they came to be known, are quite simply all glitz and gaffes!

The only saving grace of such things are the comedy bits - but, if you truly want to laugh, you'll leave it to the professionals over at Comedy Central to tickle your funny bone, no?!?

Many action or "dramatic" actors are simply not suitable to entertain us that certain way...!

Yet they still persist, on top of the comedy bits, and even insist on having DANCE AND SONG numbers as well...

Yikes!

Aren't musicals a dead issue in Hollywood - or is the latter trying to be like Bollywood now? Funny if it is the case because, just a few short years ago, the emulating was the other way around, of course...

Musicals are not making a comeback, like westerns did, I hope?

Since most of the truly meaningful *Academy Awards* are given away off-camera, during the previous night "dark ceremony" (makes the Academy sound like a cross between the Illuminati and the Freemasons!) why not save everyone's time and simply mail ALL the Awards to their recipients - WITHOUT A SHOW AT ALL!

The Oscars would actually gain in CREDIBILITY, I tell you...!

Since the on-the-spot reactions of any winner -even the most gifted actor- suck royally (take Tom Hanks' disappointing speech in 1995 - disappointing to all save Rita Wilson - as an example...) and the subsequent display of hypocrisy from the other nominees is unbearable to watch (in that same example, watch Paul Newman's smiling effort; he knew it was his last chance, and he lost, and he mustered all of his acting skill NOT to show his disappointment that night...) thus it stands to reason to completely stop that nonsense already.

Purists will say "but it's tradition"...

HA. "Movies" or "talkies" have only been around since the beginning of the 20th Century - that is NOTHING!

CENTURIES-OLD FOLKLORIC DANCES, RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS, RITUALISTIC CULTURAL GATHERINGS IN COUNTRIES MUCH OLDER THAN AMERICA - NOW THAT IS TRADITION!

Tinseltown is just a phase human-folk has been going through, in comparison...

So keep it in that perspective; think outside the box that the entertainment industry has cast around your head!

You don't have to go watch every summer blockbuster they put out!
You don't have to believe any hype generated by Awards that were, will be or might have been won - in any way!
You are not obligated to support the lifestyles of these bloated egos who flock to Cannes and the Hills, and frown upon you and your folk since all they want is your money!
And you don't have to buy any of the crap that they are selling!

In short, you have the right to say no to Oscar - since he practically is begging for it!

That is simply the luminous thing to do - lest it is the luculent one?

Brighten everybody's day with your very own AQUAMAN HOODIE!
YOU KNOW YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE ONE - well, here is your chance!
At last! The Aquaman Hoodie is, according to the users and assorted satisfied customers of 80tees.com, simply the perfect way to dress for casual outings, a night out on the town, special occasions and that funeral you don't know how to dress for too! Hey - if it rains, and it usually does (it is of circumstance) you are fully covered here! The perfect way to turn heads too - for everybody is so blasé with the sights of Batty stuff and Soupy wear - even Flash and GL bores people to tears (never mind that movie that's coming out with the alleged sexiest man alive - wouldn't it have been more fitting if the Fastest Man Alive had been hailed and proclaimed sexiest man alive as well, though?!? But that is another story indeed - one of very mild interest to boot!)
All the other ones are overused - but the man who wears an Aqua Hoodie is a man who stands apart from the crowd and DARES where others fear to swim...!

Get your hoodie NOW -
only 39.95$ all of a sudden!
