Added some textures and contrast curves in photoshop.
Thought it was about time to dig up another one of these from the band shoot I did back in April for "When Prophecy Fails"
The new EP is out now, hopefully a copy is making its way to me and I can scan the artwork to show the portrait that was finally chosen for the cover.

....................................
تناولتني الغربة يادمشق ..
صار المطار يقدمني على أنني شظية من حربك الدائرة
وصار الحزن يقدمني على أنني الطفل اليتيم المولود بلا وطن
ولا وطن من بعد يغريني
فالوطن يادفئي شيء لايمكن استبداله ..
قد يستعر منه في بعض الأحيان .. وقد يسخر منه في أحيان أخرى
ولكن .. لا يمكن استبداله ..
وقد أقرأ يادفئي تلك النظرة في عيون المسافرين إذ يقرؤونك في جواز سفري
فيرثون لحالي ..
وكبريائي يرفض الرثاء .. فأرفع رأسي .. وأغطي غربتي ببرود مصطنع
وأنسج نفسي من صخر وترفع
وأكمل عبوري لسلسلة الحواجز ..
فأخلع معطفي كي يفتشوه فلعلي أخفيت فيه دبابة
وأخلع نعلي لكي يدققوه فلعلي داريت فيه طاغية
وأخلع حزامي لكي يفككوه فلعلي أخفيت فيه قصيدة ضد الحكومة المستضيفة ..
وأخلع عني قلبي يادمشق .. كي لا تبكيني أبواب المدن إذ أراها فأذكر أبوابك
وقد أشهد يابيتي المحروق بيتا يشبهك
تفاصيل تعيدني إلى حرارة المشهد
فأصنف الجمال في تاريخ الحجارة إذ تناديني :
فهذا قوس أعرفه .. كأقواس دمشق
وهذا تراب أعشقه .. كتراب دمشق
وهذا حي .. أحفظه .. كأحياء دمشق ..
وهذه قبة .. وهذي مئذنة .. وهذا طريق .. وهذا سنونو
فهل زارت الشام كل الحواضر كي تواسي غربتي ..
وهل تترك لي بعض الهدايا .. علامات طريق فأهتدي وأغسل حزني بماء الحنين ..
أنعشيني يابلد الربيع والرعد الاصطناعي
فالهواء الحر يغريني بعودة بلا عودة
والمطارات تهيج حميتي ..
فأقف في منتصف الصف .. وأبرز نفسي لأول مرة .. كي يعلم الأقوام هويتي
:
شـــــــــــاعر أنـــــــا ..
من سهل يجاوره جبل
وطني دمشـــــــــــــــــــق ..
بالأمس مدينة السلاسل .. واليوم مدينة البارود
وفي غــــد ..
مدينة من أمل
Nostradamus was born in Saint Rémy de Provence, southern France, on December 14th of 1503, and he was a famous French physician, cabalist, and pharmacist, best known for his book Les Prophéties, its first edition published in 1555. Feel free to publish a summary of this article (in English or translated into another language) along with a link to the full piece www.yearly-horoscope.org/nostradamus-2021-predictions. Nostradamus’ prophecies are expressed in verses, called quatrains. Many of his predictions, such as the rise to power of Adolf Hitler, and the Second World War, turned out to be accurate. Feel free to publish a summary of this article (in English or translated into another language) along with a link to the full piece www.yearly-horoscope.org/nostradamus-2021-predictions
Nostradamus had written 6338 prophecies, many of them fulfilled. His prophecies cover a period reaching the year 3797. The secret of his predictions is not known. Nostradamus’ quatrains continue to fascinate the world, although they were written almost five centuries ago. Feel free to publish a summary of this article (in English or translated into another language) along with a link to the full piece www.yearly-horoscope.org/nostradamus-2021-predictions..
Here are some of Nostradamus’ predictions for 2021: 1. Zombie Apocalypse A Russian scientist will create a biological weapon and produce a virus that can turn humankind into zombies, and we will all be extinct in the near future. “Few young people: half−dead to give a start. Dead through spite, he will cause the others to shine, And in an exalted place some great evils to occur: Sad concepts will come to harm each one, Temporal dignified, the Mass to succeed. Fathers and mothers dead of infinite sorrows, Women in mourning, the pestilent she−monster: The Great One to be no more, all the world to end.” 2. A Famine of Biblical Proportions Nostradamus predicted that the first signs of the end of the world would be famine, earthquakes, different illnesses, and epidemics, which are already happening more frequently. The Coronavirus pandemic from 2020 represents the beginning of a series of unfavorable events, which will affect the world’s population. The famine that lurks is one the world had never faced before. A catastrophe of huge proportions will throw us back in history, and a great part of the world population will not be able to overcome this curse. “After great trouble for humanity, a greater one is prepared, The Great Mover renews the ages: Rain, blood, milk, famine, steel, and plague, Is the heavens fire seen, a long spark running.” Starting from 2020, after 248 years, Saturn in Capricorn united its forces with Pluto, which is also in Capricorn, in the remarkable conjunction that will change the fate of the world. Saturn in Capricorn is responsible for social hierarchies, state power, authority, functions, and status, and this is what the conjunction with Pluto, the planet of death, destruction, and reconstruction triggered. 3. Solar Storms 2021 will be quite a significant year in terms of major global events. Great solar storms will take place, which could cause some major damages to the earth. Nostradamus supposedly warned: „We shall see the water rising and the earth falling under it”. The harmful effects of the climatic changes will then lead to many wars and conflicts, as the world will fight over resources, and mass migration will follow. 4. A Comet will hit the Earth or it will come very close to Terra This event will cause earthquakes and other natural disasters, which can be concluded from the quatrain: “In the sky, one sees fire and a long trail of sparks”. Other interpretations of this quatrain assert that it refers to a great asteroid that will hit the Earth. Once it enters the Earth’s atmosphere, the asteroid will heat up, appearing in the sky like a great fire. NASA announced that a huge asteroid is likely to hit the Earth in the next years after the American agency emits alerts daily, only this time, it is something more serious. An asteroid called 2009 KF1 has chances to hit the Earth on May 6th of 2021, the NASA coming to this conclusion, following analyzes regarding its trajectory. NASA claims that this asteroid has the power to hit the Earth with the equivalent of 230 kilotons of TNT explosive force, which means 15 times more than the nuclear bomb detonated by Americans over Hiroshima in 1945. 5. A Devastating Earthquake Will Destroy California According to the interpretation of a quatrain written by Nostradamus, an extremely powerful seism will destroy California in 2021. Nostradamus predicts that a great earthquake will hit the New World (“the western lands”), and California is the logical place where it might happen. According to the astrologers, “Mercury in Sagittarius, Saturn fading”, the following date when the planets Mars and Saturn will be in this position on the sky will be on November 25th of 2021. Nostradamus’ quatrain: “The sloping park, great calamity, Through the Lands of the West and Lombardy The fire in the ship, plague, and captivity; Mercury in Sagittarius, Saturn fading.” 6. The American Soldiers Will Have Brain Chip Implants The American soldiers will be turned into a kind of cyborgs, at least at the brain level, to save the human race. This chip should offer us the necessary digital intelligence to progress beyond the limits of biological intelligence. This could mean that we will incorporate artificial intelligence into our bodies and brains. The newly made one will lead the army, Almost cut off up to near the bank: Help from the Milanais elite straining, The Duke deprived of his eyes in Milan in an iron cage.
Conclusions: “A prophet is properly speaking one, who sees distant things through a natural knowledge of all creatures. And it can happen that the prophet bringing about the perfect light of prophecy may make manifest things both human and divine.” (Nostradamus in a letter to his son, Cesar) Nostradamus’ quatrains include many disturbing predictions. Based both on the knowledge of Nostradamus as a human being, and the dangerous era he lived, the eight prophecies of 2021 reveal fragments of what the alchemist predicted for our world.

By watching aspects such as climate changes, technological evolution, or inadequate governmental decisions, we might think that everything is against us, and humankind is on the verge of extinction. Here are just a few of Nostradamus’ predictions, outlining the idea of a terrifying future, far from what we would have imagined.
Feel free to publish a summary of this article (in English or translated into another language) along with a link to the full piece wisehoroscope.org/nostradamus-2021/.ficial Intelligence – The Robots will rule the world From 2021, artificial intelligence will be equal or will even surpass human intelligence, which could lead to an apocalyptic scenario like those we see in movies. “The Moon in the full of night over the high mountain, The new sage with a lone brain sees it: By his disciples invited to be immortal, Eyes to the south. Hands in bosoms, bodies in the fire.” Mechanization Most previsions indicate that until 2023, the labor market will crash. The automated machines will replace the people in the work process, since they don’t demand higher salaries, and they don’t need breaks or other benefits. When employers choose robots instead of humans, the whole social model will crush. Unemployment, social disorders, and misery are just a few of the consequences of mechanization. A War between Two Allied Countries Two allied countries will get into a classic and open military conflict, with naval fleet fully engaged against each other. Unfortunately, this will only be the beginning because this conflict between these two seemingly “friendly” countries will degenerate into a global war, which will involve the most powerful countries in the world. “In the city of God there will be a great thunder Two brothers torn apart by Chaos while the fortress endures The great leader will succumb The third big war will begin when the big city is burning”. The Economic Collapse of 2021 Hundreds of closed hedge funds will go bankrupt, and the international exchange market will need to close in a short time – maybe even for a week, to stop the panic of selling shares, that will slowly envelop the stock markets. Nostradamus also predicted the 2008 crisis, and in 2021, things are not great: the exchange markets are in free fall and have reached panic levels the end of the crisis is still out of sight the United States is facing an economic stagnation for several years the economic fundamentals are no longer applying today. Space Flight will be Accessible to Common People In 2021, it will start a new era of space tourism. Common people will fly into space, being able to admire spectacular views of the Earth. Sea Level Rise There is no doubt: the climate is constantly changing. Out of all the apocalyptic scenarios which might come true, the sea level rise is the most dramatic. Presently, 50% of the world population lives in coastal areas. A prediction of a possible disaster can be seen by following the example of Newton City from Alaska, which, in less than five years, will be swallowed up by rising waters. The small community of 400 people will not be the only one affected. The current estimations suggest that Venice will be uninhabitable by 2100, and Los Angeles and Amsterdam will be abandoned five years later. “Peace and plenty for a long time the place will praise: Throughout his realm the fleur-de-lis deserted: Bodies dead by water, land one will bring there, Vainly awaiting the good fortune to be buried there.” Solar Eruptions The solar activity has been and still is a subject of interest for experts and not only. Because the sun will reach, in 2021, the peak of an 11-years cycle, known as the maximum solar, different theoreticians rushed to speculate in this regard. It is a fact that when a maximum solar occurs, much more intense solar explosions take place than the previous ones, but this does not translate into total chaos or natural catastrophe. Solar eruptions don’t just happen from yesterday but occur at regular intervals, and the event taking place in 2021 could mostly announce satellite communication interruptions. “Condom and Auch and around Mirande, I see fire from the sky which encompasses them. Sun and Mars conjoined in Leo, then at Marmande, lightning, great hail, a wall falls into the Garonne.” How many predictions did Nostradamus get right? A part of Nostradamus’s prophecies, the famous French doctor and alchemist from the 16th century, have come true. Nostradamus predicted the beginning of the Second World War, Hitler’s ascension, the fall of communism, President J. F. Kennedy’s assassination, India’s independence and the occurrence of Israel State on the world map, events confirmed by the passing of time, but also occurrences that go further in time. Read also: Horoscope 2021 for every zodiac sign. Things You Might Not Know About Nostradamus Nostradamus is certainly one of the most illustrious personalities in history. This notoriety is due to his famous prophecies and predictions. Beyond astrology, Nostradamus was a talented doctor, but also a controversial character, specialized in occultism. Everyone has heard of Nostradamus. He was a medieval character, renowned for his capacity to predict, through scientific methods, the events that will happen in the distant future. Nostradamus predictions, written around 500 years ago, are still going around the world today, and the French man is one of the most important figures of occult art. Besides astrology and his predictions regarding the future, Nostradamus had an adventurous love life, marked by long journeys, extrasensory experiences, the run from Inquisition, but also by an exceptional, yet unjustly less-mentioned medical career. Nostradamus aroused admiration, but also envy. Moreover, he was a controversial character. Nostradamus confessed that his predictions have a scientific fundament. He claimed that he managed to predict the future by calculating the position of the stars and planets towards the earth and other astral bodies. How Nostradamus died Nostradamus even predicted his death: ‘Next to the bench and bed, I will be found dead’. After he announced, one evening, that he will not survive the night, he died of a gout episode and was found dead the following morning, next to his worktable

During a walkabout in downtown Minneapolis, I discovered Gold Medal Park. The park included several sculptures. The park opened in 2007.
This the Prophecy of the Ancients by Brower Hatcher. In the stone and steel-mesh sculpture, a futuristic dome, made of thousands of wire polyhedrons, rests atop Egyptian columns. The most interesting part is the assortment of objects, including a chair, a turtle, numbers and letters that hover within the dome. They seem to form a rainbow or arc.
People generally run from their problems instead of choosing the long road of self recovery. But there's a big difference between a tactical retreat, and someone who just gave up.
I wanted to show them the light; but one dimensional beings do not comprehend ideas past what they have chosen as reality. Everyone makes up their mind on who they will be; but the idea of being an individual is far more interesting than the actual fact. You are the vessel, of memories and projections of your inner insecurities.
I accept the demons that plague my mind-- I ponder internal questions that others are incapable of even asking. So they call me broken; but you could say I'm ahead of the curve.
"1 bedroom apartment, 1 bath, 1 kitchen, w/ washer & dryer! $675 a month, with great view of construction of brand new shopping mall."
This is the exact advertisement for my place. I'm living in a shitty flat, for more money than is worth, and I wouldn't change a thing. I'm not living alone. I have a girlfriend, she's beautiful on a level I could only describe as angelic. A pure soul; I think a good woman mitigate our baser tendency. I work as security for a call center-- I drive my motorcycle everyday to work. I make sure I keep up with the preventative maintenance on the bike, regular oil changes, washing and preserving the paint on the machine, I just tuned up the bike, it works at optimum performance.
I don't catch myself thinking about those people anymore. I've finally moved past that rut. I chose to stop running from my problems and by eliminating the negativity in my life, I became a new man. I don't think of myself as the Red Hood anymore.
My name is Jason.
It's been a full and interesting week of work, today will be the 5th photo-shoot of the week, and each one a very different subject. Back on Tuesday i did a location shoot with the band "When Prophecy Fails"
Had a great time shooting with these guys, if you do facebook, head over to www.facebook.com/WhenProphecyFails?fref=ts and give them a LIKE.
Shot a lot of different styles, not sure yet which one they will choose as the cover for their new EP, you can see all the choices (around 150 shots) in the 'galleries' section of my website.
Might try and set up a little facebook vote for it this evening, if anyone has done something like that before and has any tips?

To Hell With Poverty (We'll Get Drunk On Cheap Wine): www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7m7RN7xStM
The B- side of that 45 was called "Capital (It Fails Us Now).
A Vestal Prophecy by Daniel Arrhakis (2023)
With the music : Sonum - Anatomical (Royalty Free Music)
In a temple located in the Roman Forum near the Regia and the House of the Vestal Virgins, Fabia one of the priestesses looks at the large vase of red alabaster as if a river of blood had flown, not even that morning light seemed to calm her deepest fears.
In the temple of Vesta, the six priestesses in recent times were haunted by a constant vision that seemed to them an unsettling near future
"Beware The Ides Of May for when the Eternal Flame goes out, the Legion of Shadows will conquer Rome by fire without appeal or mercy... six now are, but more shall not be... "
In Rome, an eternal flame was burned in honor of the goddess Vesta and to symbolize the unity and religion of Rome. The flame was tended by six "Vestal Virgins" and it was considered a high honor to be selected for the task.
This flame represented the sanctity of Rome and its Empire. It was the Vestals' job to never let the sacred flame die out, as the Romans believed that it would endanger Rome...

Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite. Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody. But how shall I, unless you yourselves be also the peacemakers, nay, the lovers of all your elements?
