Hmm... Some Moments In Life Do Appear To Drag On Forever And Ever...





Comments

And, as I used to say to a malicious man married to an aunt of mine, a mischievous fiend who used to tease me with silly lies about my father and what he would do for me or not do... I was barely five years-old and I used to reply to him the following:


"Todos os papas gostem dos filhinhos"



That made my father laugh, pleased as he was that I had shut the other guy's mouth with my retort...!




I guess it is true too: every dad loves his offspring, it applies to most if not really all of them; even dads like Darth Vader!



;)
On a sidenote, specific to ol' Darth - a collective sigh of relief was heard in the movie theatre where I first saw this film (with my Dad, indeed) when D.V. *finally* bypassed his very unhealthy loyalty and totally illogical filial love for the "Emperor"...


Blood is thicker than anything -
especially evil!

Hmm... Is Justice really improving in this world after all...?!?

On the date that, waaaaay back in 1431, the trial of one JOAN OF ARK began, we learn that a 9/11 plotter has his prison term increased! It was doubled in fact, in a German court of all places, in Hamburg to be more specific... Justice is improving, being meted out in a harsher way to those who deserve it too, in the country where, a relatively short time ago (what's 60-65 years in human history? Peanuts...) dementia and lunacy overtook an entire nation (or a good portion of it) and possessed the collective psyche enough to have them commit such atrocities... All in the name of the imaginary "master race"...! I should apologize for the very condensed -very spontaneous too- luminous history lesson... But I will not! ;) Suffice it to say - if Joan of Ark got the stake, 576 years ago today... Surely Mounir el Motassadeq deserves to get 15 years in prison... And to be decked all along the way... I know - easy one to say... Or type, really... Sue me, willya? ;)

Hmm... Energy, Eh?

really... VERNAL EQUINOX  yielding a  ''WORM FULL MOON''  and a  VORTEX  that unleashes  copious amounts of  ''unprecedented magical energy''  onto the Earth --- I presume?  Really?    Not a worm like this worm here,  one hopes... a so-so classic of the genre...  All I know... is that I took three fine pictures  on this night:  this last picture truly shows something akin to a ''vortex'' there  -  to tell the truth...! Or a rift in the fabric of space, tearing up   to further facilitate that generous dispensing of  ''magical energies'' promised there...  To the neo-pagans it was, anyway!  Well, all that is uncanny, really:  just yesterday I was thinking of  that old book project of mine  that I have shelved indefinitely...  And it was ten...

Hmm... THOSE are the Big Hits of 2007...?

Unlike my stance in other areas (...) I will not pretend to be an "all-knowing expert" of what makes the ever ebullient music industry "pop"... (!) But I can still come up with a TOP 10 of what are, (IMLO) in my luminous opinion, the biggest hits of the year that is ending TONIGHT... 2007 was, in my eyes, Timbaland's year. His "Shock Value" release was something else and he managed to be both artist AND producer/promoter of other artists on it! Nelly Furtado had another revealing year (though revealing she might be flimsy a bit wasn't exactly a high point in her career) and she also collaborated with Timbaland, not-so coincidentally... Top spot goes to RIHANNA though - as her song expresses so "spunkily", just in its title, what I summarily feel about a certain designated driver that I know, a ninny by the name of ROSA... (!) Nods go also to the likes of Sean Kingston, who made a splash with his ode to being -gulp- suicidal? Took guts to...
