Hasta Siempre

By -
There were good things to talk about except all the joy went out of the day when daylight began. The sadness is enhanced in that this was done in the name of religion. There is not much more to add that there are those who live by the religious sword and actually turn it on themselves. There is not much difference between God and the Devil in this case. If the God one believes in encourages and desires the death of innocent people then that evil perpetrated is on par with the evil associated with Satan. Disbelief reigns at the end of the day.

What makes it even sadder is that political opportunists all over the world will use this to further their own agendas.

Those who survive will go on and will very quickly find enjoyment in daily living yet life has forever changed.

While there are people still missing in the London tragedy and there are people dying in Iraq every day, it is important to recall the words of a young recruit who spoke on NPR yesterday morning. It is important to honour the living.

Sunday Songs: Abbey Lincoln

Recorded in New York, New York in February 1990. ( Thank You, Singers and Saints Blog ) Personnel: Abbey Lincoln (vocals); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet); Alain Jean-Marie (piano); Charlie Haden (bass); Billy Higgins (drums). "Have we been waiting for something like this since Billie, then Dinah passed on--i.e. groovy, in-the-tradition jazz singing that actually means something? Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro...

Datalounge

There was a time when the Gossip Forum on Datalounge was a particularly entertaining cyberspace, much like a funny Joan Rivers routine. In the last two years it has become painful to read some of the posts there. There is, however, one rather entertaining thread that has been kept alive off and on since February, it is entitled: What gossip-related things do you actually know from first hand experience (here are some edited entries)… Dani el Travanti is still known as Miss Hoo-hoo by members of the Hill Street Blues crew. Kevin Bacon is totally straight, sweet, and has the thinnest body west of Biafra. Robert Blake is guilty. Paul Newman has had his share of men. His wife has had her share of women. … Keanu Reeves is great in bed--with anyone. …I dated Craig Sheffer once (now on One Tree Hill). He talked alot about how spiritually unenlightened Sam Champion was... Craig had some interesting beliefs about how DNA double helixes in humans were mutating in a way that would allow us to c...

Hi. I'd like to announce the arrival of Aidan Lee St. John into the breathing world. He appeared at 4:03 a.m. on Wednesday the 21st, weighing in at 7 lbs 5.2 oz. He is happy and healthy as is his mother. And although he has no job and still lives with his parents, he seems like a decent enough chap. And I couldn't be more pleased. Love, Trevor St. John, Father
