...Show me how defenseless you really are..."

Awesomeness...

This was posted over at a friend's page on Facebook. Of course I have to share... it's Metallica. Pretty amazing kid.

But then I went agoogling and found this, which is just pure awesomeness, live and with an audience...

Never too late...

Funny isn't it, when struggling to find a reason, to find substance in your life, that something as simple as three words and a video can pop back into your head.

But not for me...

I can see the light but it is blindness
I can feel the warmth
I can taste its sweetness
I can hear the song
but it is not for me

I can see the darkness and it is home
I feel the cold
I taste the bitter tongue
I hear the dirge
but it is not for me

I can see the ember as it fades
I can feel it brighten as I breathe
I can almost taste the joy it needs
I can hear the whisper from which it feeds
but it is not for me

(Hot off the fingertips of my brain. Something a little different. It has been a while as I haven't been able to share much of anything.)

This is so bad...

Apologies to the man and the band, but it made me smile.

That human need...

Rather funny considering the title of the previous post that this came up in my Facebook feed today. The look on Eeyore's face cracked me up, and brought back to mind some thoughts that I had shared before.

Hold me in your arms...

Had this song in my head today...

Because I said so...

 

 

Fluffy memories...

When I first saw this, I was just thinking "yummy"... and then when I looked closer, I noticed that it was constructed with those thin chocolate wafers... Remember that dessert? We would stack the chocolate wafers with whipped cream in between and lay it down on the plate and cover it with more whipped cream... You'd let it sit in the fridge for a bit and when it came out, the wafers had softened and expanded and it would be like cake encased in fluffy creamy awesomeness...

Impressions...

This image came up in Facebook and I "liked" it, but when I looked at it again tonight, I got to thinking a little deeper. I think I've had a fondness for Impressionist paintings since I was a kid, but I just realized that the style, the finished works, appeal to me because they resemble beautiful faded memories... a vision of colour and light residing in rippled water. 

My favourite Irishman

Happy Birthday.

Cleaning up the house...

this song came up. Good pairing. (And yes, it was this one and not the Harry Belafonte version.)

 

 

Well, I guess I better get back to it... Took a little break for French Toast, a hot drink and the laptop. Ended up being on here longer than planned. Metallica is on now.

Friday night fun!

A great big thank you to Harvey over at Bad Example. I just happened to go over there to see how it was going, and clicked on a link in his most recent post which lead me to confirming what I have often surmised. I am woefully undesirable. As of today, my dating marketabilitiy is 3. In a few days, I will be a 1. I started off as a -8 because of my age. The range of scores is -83 to +64.

I fall under this category:

-4 to 14: Classic beta. Your hot friends always gets hit on first, but if you really tramp it up you can snag a slightly better than average guy to take you home for a single night of commitment.

And people wonder why I never married?

(Oh... the other funny thing? It assumes that all women will not answer the questions truthfully and therefore must deduct 10 points from their final score. Reading some of the comments, this just may be true, but I believe I would be an exception to that rule. I am, to put it bluntly, rather brutally honest with most things, especially myself.)

Try it out yourself and come back to comment with your "score".

For women.

For men.

 

As the title says... Friday night fun.

A different kind of weird...

 

 And this...

To which I will add: If you're looking for nothing, you'll find nothing. If you aren't looking for anything, you will always find something.

What difference does it make?

None.

Why do I do it?  Because I CAN.

To honour the fallen since last time:

Ohio (2), Iowa, Louisiana (2), Maryland,
Florida (3), North Carolina, Arizona (2),
Oklahoma, Michigan

It's the closest thing I could find...

 

We had snow Monday morning... but it fairly quickly changed to rain and then by the afternoon, it was sunny... Shall patiently wait for Spring to spring, or... perhaps just spring right into Summer.

Not sure if this will work here, as it is a Facebook link. I went agoogling for something a little more substantial and found this, which provides a little bit more information. He would be turning 73 years old this year.

Recommended rainy day reading...

from "Letters of Note", which I have linked to before, at least twice, perhaps a few times...)

An American president.

A British popstar.

A concerned citizen...

A guy named Fred Flom.

A rather popular author.

A crooner with an image.

Funny that I had saved these links quite some time ago and I couldn't even come up with a way to introduce them. I guess I saved them for a rainy day...
