♫ Charlie Brown ♫ (Redux)

Loved The Coasters…

Filosofa's Word

I’ve only played this once before, back in 2018, but I was in the mood for something fun tonight, and this one came to mind …


Tonight I just wanted to have a bit of fun, and this one will make you smile … I guarantee it.  This one goes back a ways … 1959 … maybe before some of you were even on this earth.  Don’t ask why it popped into my head tonight … but it happened as I was taking fish sticks out of the oven for me ‘n Miss Goose.

Like most Coaster’s songs, this was written by the songwriting team of Leiber And Stoller. They wrote hits for many artists, including Elvis Presley, The Drifters, and Ben E. King. The songs they wrote for The Coasters were usually more comical.

Leiber and Stoller made up the story of Charlie Brown, a kid who is always getting…

Radtour Viborg Seen …Bicycle tour around Viborg’s lakes

Stella, oh, Stella

Ich hatte so ein tolles Panorama-Video vom südlichen See gemacht, das ich euch zeigen wollte. Als ich das eben anschaute, musste ich feststellen, dass ich die Videofunktion nicht eingeschaltet hatte. Der Film ist also nur 7 Sekunden lang und fängt dort an, wo ich glaubte aufgehört zu haben, nämlich mit meinem Mann, der Tschüss sagt und ein bischen Gras mit meinem Schatten, ein Meisterwerk! 😀

… I made a fantastic panorama video of the southern lake, which I wanted to show you. But when I looked at it right now, I found out that I hadn’t switched on the video function. That means that the movie is only 7 seconds long and starts where I thought I had stopped, that is with my husband saying goodbye and a little bit of grass with my shadow, a master piece! 😀

Ich habe aber doch obiges Foto gemacht. Viborg ist eine tolle…

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

NANMYKEL.COM

WHAT DO YOU SEE AND WHAT DO YOU FEEL?

The above image is borrowed from

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

and I have no claim to it, but thought it might be a useful tool for self reflection, bias and/or projection.

Do you like the photo or not?

If you have conflicting  emotions, does knowing that the photo is associated with Vietnam do anything to your perception?

How about if you discovered one or all of the men were subsequently  killed in combat?

How about if you knew their ages?

If you knew how many they killed or tried to kill?

If you knew who wrote them letters from home?

Etc., etc., etc…

I for one find the photo disconcerting, horrifying, sad and a little nauseating.

I cannot see it as endearing, although their family might, especially if they died in battle.

I cannot see it proudly, as a fiancee or…

Beleza

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

É preciso grandeza para enxergar beleza aonde poucos veem.

É preciso fechar os os olhos e com elegância,

Reagir com serenidade a sabedoria do universo.

E quantos versos se pode fazer com ela?

Quantas respostas se tem dentro de uma sociedade barulhenta?

É por isso que prefiro a filosofia,

O silêncio é filosófico,

Intrigante, verdade é.

Mas através dele, tudo se pode criar,

Reagir,

Obrigar,

Expandir.

Ah, o silêncio!..

Nele se constrói toda oração dos sábios.

Neste caso, se produz toda uma reação desproporcional ao medo.

Pensar é reagir,

Você pensa, reage.

É preciso grandeza para enxergar beleza,

Para se ter autocrítica

Autocontrole

E florescer.

A beleza que refiro-me aqui, é a luta do instinto humano sobre o social

O egoísmo,

Egocentrismo,

E tantos ” ismos “

A palavra tem esse poder;

Quando você olha para uma situação de forma diferente,

O sensibilizar significa:

Educacar, alfabetizar a sensibilidade diante da…

Fire Was Destroyed

100CountryTrek.com

So much fire was all over area in Nova Scotia. We drove by yesterday and I saw the wreckage left behind by a wildfire that swept through the Halifax-area communities of Tantallon and Hammonds Plains over the last week. The fire, which broke out on May 28, destroyed about 200 buildings, including 151 homes, and forced the evacuation of more than 16,400 people.

Boris Has Left The Building

REDFLAGFLYING

Not before time, Boris Johnson has resigned his parliamentary seat. Faced with the outcome of the report into his dodgy dealings during the Covid pandemic and his blatant lying to parliament and the people of Britain, he took the coward’s way out and jumped before he was pushed.

Like his idol, Donald Trump, he is blaming everyone except himself, and taking zero responsibility for his misdeeds. I expected nothing less.

And continuing the Trump theme, he is threatening to ‘make a return’, to try to become elected as leader of the Conservative Party in the future.

This bloated toad is the very essence of the word ‘Entitlement’. He has led a privileged life, and continues to trade on his former job as Prime Minister to charge huge fees for public speaking and writing articles. For anyone feeling remotely sorry for him, fear not.

He has just bought a country house…
