Hope you are wanting uncertainty and not 'to be certain'?
Hope you are refreshing the irritation?
This road less travelled has more side streets and one way streets .... than I ever thought.
I thought when you got to about 20 years that you would be fully mature and be at peace with all things ....... not a kid anymore - hmmm.
It seems, from my observation of others so far - and feeling it myself, that it is a tough old life and even worse if you aim for the comfort concept!
It seems to me that if we yearn for change - expect change and plan for - and aim for change that is so positive.
If you are uncomfortable at the moment - I am glad - change-is-a-happening ..... and that is good!!
PAIN IS GOOD.......... without it we would not be human.
We would not have feelings.
Paul Simon in a song says "I am a rock - I feel no pain" .......... stinking stink, if you are a rock you feel notin - nowt - NOTHING ....... and how bad can that be .........?
.....thank you to all the humans who have caught my eye today and I have seen and felt - the warmth ....
Thanx for that twinkle in the eye that means so much to me .....
..... thank you to all the humans today who have shared fragility with me ........ I feel closer to you as we share that ....... than ...... the joys
A word to God ....
Keep me dis .... NOT-SATISFIED ...... and help me to love it like that ....
A wrd to you ....
thanx for reading these outbursts of clicks
bhp
............ for the first time ever the ornaments crashed off the top of the television ..... it was the occasion of Sgt Peppers Hearts Club Band ................... with U2 and I cried.
That opening and the set that followed was powerful ........ and then the doves released above the stage and .........
The LIVE 8 volume was up and I felt so excited!
Here I am at home - turning down a ticket to be at home with Joan and to make sure I am not wrecked for the full-on week ahead ........ and preparation for a big conference.
And again I wept when Will Smith in the US asked all the L8 stages and masses in attendance, to say hello to each other ......... and then the '3 seconds click of the finger - every three seconds a child dies of poverty in Africa ......
I had bought a DVD recorder yesterday so I could record the programmes for the Sheilas - and keep it for myself. I didn't plan to spend hours on my knees BEHIND the tv trying to fix it .....
....... and then, as I was getting some food, the sobs rose from my gut into my mouth as Bob Geldof replayed that 'live aid' video .......... and introduced the starving - days from death child - now a beautiful human - beautiful woman .............. here she was on stage and I emotionally fell to my knees ......... this is a vital act by many ...... for the weakest humans in the world ......
At the same time Joan was gripped but stinking cricket.
I have said how she is into her sport.
Cricket
not Wimbledon!
Cricket
not Live 8
Cricket
not gay Pride
............ it had to be cricket-!!
I am delighted that so many people have been motivated about poverty.
Some a mere touch I guess.
Some for the first time and forever.
Anyway will do for me .....
I have worked it out in my fumbling and stumbling .....
philosophically
theologically ......
I believe that we need to be active
personally
socially
and about the cosmos - the world .......
anyway will do ......... COME ON .....
Already I have bought a .79 pence download from iTunes of the fantastic opening song with Paul McCartney and U2 .......... isn't the world different?
It is still going and I hope the DVD recorder has worked ....... not had chance to check it yet ....
TRY ......I NEED this Song, really really really!
I hope that you can send it to me or say where I can get it. In Austria it's part of a "Six Feet Under"-trailer on the tv and I was searching very long for it before i finally found at least your blog with the title and the complete text but still I can't find the song.
I count on you ^^
Sincerely,
Lukas ******* from Innsbruck, Austria
I fixed him up ....... he was talking about a special Song I was raving about for a long time - and was on last years 'Selection Box Album' of mine.
If you search this blog using the blogger search (top of this page) - you will see that it means 'life and death' to me ......
...... I view a number of blogs every night about this time.
It helps me to know who you are .....
And in a strange way it helps me to know who I am .....
One of my favourites is http://www.jengray.com/
..... because she displays some wondrous pix and words that stay with you ....
Who am I?
Today I feel pretty good - a bit nervy about tomorrow because I want the concerts to go down well but more than that ............ I want to see the 'Poverty that Imprisons the Spirit' to be sensed ........... and from that stirring of the soul ........ that many humans will make poverty their agenda - down our street ....... and around the globe ....... I feel ...... I feel tonight ......
..... it seems that the debut episode of Pimp My Ride UK
smashed all ratings expectations.
It was on MTV last Sunday at 10pm and if you have been clicking your keys this way you will know that Ann, one of the the Wilson Family has been a Director.
It was watched by a million viewers, which pleases all the MTV workers ....... and it is one of our home-grown shows. The best rating for Pimp My Ride in the USA was 1.05
This was the best ever rating for a UK production, performing 700% above slot average.
This made MTV the 3rd most watched channel last Sunday, beating BBC1, BBC2, Five and E4. More viewers were watching Pimp My Ride UK than were watching the climax of Sky One's flagship show 24.
This weeks was not Directed by Ann-she ....... but the week after, she says, is 'the best' ........ thought you would like to know ......
"work like you don't need the money
dance like no-one is watching
sing like no-one is listening
and
love like you have never been hurt"
