Otro de los temas preocupantes

… Otro de los temas preocupantes es que las generaciones de la hora contemporánea, al nacer, ya se encuentran inmersas en ambientes locales, nacionales y globales de ausencia de amor y de bien, desbordantes de odio y de violencia, maquillados de asuntos, modas y tendencias que parecen ser la verdad, carentes de sentimientos nobles y de racionalidad. Quienes nacen, en los minutos actuales, se acostumbran, por tratarse de su época y de lo que está a su alcance, a la escasez, las crisis económicas, las guerras, las enfermedades contagiosas y el control de los más poderosos a los más débiles. No saben que alguna vez hubo alegrías, creatividad, ilusiones, libertad, originalidad y sueños. No disponen de elementos de comparación. La gente que pudo relatarles cómo era el mundo apenas unos años antes, ya murió o anda ocupada en diferentes…

In The Words Of Forrest Gump …

“Stupid is as stupid does”

(My apologies to Keith in advance, but sometimes you just gotta get it out of your system)

Now, I know I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so before I start criticizing others, I’ll tell you about my latest moment of dumb.  Our electricity went out yesterday afternoon.  I was sitting here writing when the lamp beside me went out, and I thought the bulb had just blown, but at the same time, my granddaughter screeched that her computer had shut down.  Then the neighbor came over to ask if our electricity was out, as was his.  So, I grabbed my laptop to send Duke Energy a text, but … duh … the internet was out!  So, I managed to send them a text via my phone, and they immediately responded, saying that they were aware of the outage, crews were on their way…

Der Bosporus von oben

Senioren um die Welt

Der Bosporus ist eine der wichtigsten Wasserstraßen weltweit. Er verbindet das Schwarze Meer mit dem Marmarameer und trennt den europäischen Teil der Türkei von dem wesentlich größeren Teil im asiatischen Hinterland. Der Kanal schlängelt sich etwa 30 Kilometer zwischen den beiden Kontinenten hindurch, er ist durchschnittlich nur 2 km breit, an einer Stelle sogar nur 750 m. Innerhalb des Bosporus liegt das Goldene Horn auf der westlichen Seite, es ist eine langgezogene Bucht, und es gibt einen natürlichen Hafen, der seit langem genutzt wird.

Gardens by the Bay

Gardens by the Bay

The Gardens by the Bay is a nature park spanning 101 hectares in the Central Region of Singapore, adjacent to the Marina Reservoir. The park consists of three waterfront gardens: Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden.

Gardens by the Bay is a huge, colourful, futuristic park in the bay area of Singapore. Among the standout features are the famous Supertree structures. These offer an impressive skywalk over the gardens, with oversized seashell-shaped greenhouses that recreate chilly mountain climates. There are hundreds of trees and plants to discover within, making Gardens by the Bay a great destination for both kids and grownups, and simply for those looking for a respite with stunning views.

Once you’ve glimpsed this beautifully designed green space (from the top of the Marina Bay Sands, perhaps) you won’t be able to stay away. Wander through…

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Um cantinho e um violão

Este amor, uma canção

Pra fazer feliz a quem se ama

Muita calma pra pensar

E ter tempo pra sonhar

Da janela vê-se o Corcovado

O Redentor que lindo

Quero a vida sempre assim com você perto de mim

Até o apagar da velha chama

E eu que era triste

Descrente deste mundo

Ao encontrar você eu conheci

O que é felicidade meu amor

O que é felicidade, o que é felicidade

Tom jobim. Corcovado

Composição: Antonio Carlos Jobim

You don’t need to wait
for reasons to celebrate
just spread love, not hate.

♫ Stayin’ Alive ♫

Filosofa's Word

I promised earlier this week that I would play one that wasn’t a redux, that I hadn’t played here before, and … {drumroll}here it is!!!  I wracked my brain (such as it is) and I thought I might like to do something by the Bee Gees.  So, I put on my blindfold, spun the wheel, and this is what came up!  I hope you like it!

This plays over the opening credits of the 1977 movie Saturday Night Fever while John Travolta struts through the streets of New York City. The movie has come to represent the disco era, and has made Stayin’ Alive one of the songs most associated with disco.  Their contributions to Saturday Night Fever brought them huge success, but marked them as disco singers.

In a 1989 interview with Q magazine, they talked about this stigma and why they didn’t deserve it. Said Robin…
