Barry and a Waffle...same mentality?

2011-09-01T23:09:00.001-05:00

To Jeffery: Always

2011-08-31T04:51:00.001-05:00

We loved each other, once
And lived with each other, twice.

He went his way
I, for a time, went that same path.

He knows I have always loved him.

Now, older, he must know
I still love him.

Something for Barry and Michelle to consider...

2011-08-31T04:03:00.001-05:00

...as they 'pay-cay' through their lives.

God IS watching us...may God continue?

As we prepare to remember...

2011-08-30T06:19:00.002-05:00

...September 11, 2001...

...please also remember those 3,000 or so lost on that day, and their family and friends who remain..

Also...remember that radical Islamists caused this devastation, demonstrating to the world that Islam is NOT the religion of peace!

I can see the 'fambly' resemblance, can't you...

2011-08-30T05:33:00.000-05:00

...especially in the ears and the smile.

Omar Onyango Obama, arrested for DUI in Massachusetts (ALLEGED uncle of Barack INSANE Obama)

Barack INSANE Obama, Nephew-in-Chief, I guess.
I have never believed this man to be the spawn of his alleged father, whom we are told is 'Barack, Sr.' or 'Barack I'.

I do believe, however, that the man identified as Barack Hussein Obama, currently the (failing) President of the USA, WAS born in Kenya, as his faux-Grandma Sarah (the Christian/Moslem), remembers so well.

Oh, the poor child...

2011-08-30T04:19:00.005-05:00

...watch this, please, then look at the parents, especially the stepmother.

Faces of evil, yes?
And I certainly hope the surviving twin is safe from these evil ones.

One month and a day later...

2011-08-29T17:58:00.001-05:00

...Honeyboy has passed.

Rest now, Honeyboy...at least take a five-minute break.

My chair began to rock me...UPDATE!

2011-08-23T13:11:00.001-05:00

...a few minutes before 1 PM (CDT), first gently, then a pause, and then the rocking was a bit more substantial for about 30 seconds.

Perhaps it's due to the less than 5 magnitude quake in Virginia?

For more info, go to http://www.usgs.gov/

UPDATE: 5.9 earthquake in Va, Felt in NYC

Just how accurate is weather radar?

2011-08-23T09:54:00.000-05:00

As of 9:30 AM (CDT), this map shows all of Chicago having somewhere between light and heavy rain.

But...it is not raining here, at 9:49 AM (CDT).

Oh, yes, the rains will come...soon...but what does this graphic say for the accuracy of http://www.accuweather.com/us/il/chicago/60610/forecast-current-conditions.asp?

Just for fun...

2011-08-23T08:29:00.007-05:00

...so you can begin Tuesday with a grin! (You know you won't get THAT from Bluff Daddy Obama!).

Of course, they COULD have gone around the fence, butt...that sheeple for ya, ain't it?

Look...be AWARE...and watch Obama tank!

Great News for those with ALS!

Researchers discover common cause of all forms of ALS

*********

I am soooo happy re: this discovery!

Back in January, 1982, my dear mother passed away, after struggling with the ravages of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) for a little over two and a half years.

Thank you, Dr. Siddique, for your determination and years of research! So many can finally see some light!

Stylizing Marilyn

2011-08-17T16:26:00.000-05:00

J. Seward Johnson, the octagenarian sculptor, recently had his huge sculpture of Marilyn Monroe erected in Pioneer Court here in downtown Chicago.

This is a still from the scene between Marilyn and Tom Ewell in the film "The Seven Year Itch". The following are a few shots of what I prefer to call "J. Seward's Folly".

It's obvious I do not care for this thing. It entices all, men especially, to stand below the crotch area and have photos taken looking or reaching up. Do small children really need to see Daddy looking up a skirt?

What interested me more was the lack of 'quality control' in the assembly of this monstrosity. Just look at the lumpy arm below.

Pretty poorly done, wouldn't you say?

I ended my Mag Mile sojourn simply by rotating 180 degrees in order to view much more impressive 'sculpture'!

Trump Tower and the Wrigley Building

My take...

2011-08-09T01:38:00.001-05:00

You know, I really don't care sometimes.

If you voted for Obama, as did several of my no-longer-friends, I hope you're doing well...but as I saw one of these former friends, rushing off the bus to get to the train today, I had to smirk...NO...stifle a giggle. He, the balding girly-man, wanted to make certain he did not have any contact with me.

His business is five floors below me; his car is parked in the lot right outside my window. He knows me.

Which is why he rushed to get out of the bus and get up the escalators to the train at the Howard stop, here in Chicago.

He wanted to avoid meeting me.

He is one of the three (it seems) complicit people trying to 'take me down'.

He is a well-known gay, and tries very hard to use the 'gayness' to attract other gays to his technology-oriented business, five floors below me.

He told me several years ago that I was his friend, then balked after I had scanned and transferred 70 hours of his family's film, which I had to wash, hang to straighten, and Photoshop (TM) to make a reasonable presentation. I asked for $400, I got $300.

This girly-man was my friend...and I did not fault him for being soooooo girly. He WAS my friend...but no longer. Neither he, Kris Luck, nor his buddy Bill Morton, who owes me over $1,400, plus another $1,000+ vis a vis my monies invested to incorporate and promote the failing Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce, are 'business persons' I would ever deal with again...and I caution all of you to be wary of these men.

Grifters...it's the word that comes to mind, especially concerning the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce Director/Interim Treasurer, self-proclaimed Bishop James Alan Wilkowski, who works for David Orr. Need I say more?

These are liars, and cheats, and thieves...and oh, yes, OH MY!

"We've been intercoursed"!

Rev. Jesse Lee Petersen...and his views

2011-08-09T00:42:00.001-05:00

And...no one said, nor would they, "Par-tay", Barack and Michelle!

Those we call 'black' these days are not necessarily stupid. Rev. Jesse Lee Petersen is definitley an intelligent human being...much more so than Barky Obama!

HE waits...

2011-08-08T23:58:00.005-05:00

...to BE TOLD WHAT TO SAY. Trust him now, huh?

A pResident, who stands there, stupidly, waiting to be told what to say while the Telepromptr (TM) cues up is like a day without sunshine.

What a putzy puppet!

And I suppose "every gray hair" is worth the wait for the Telepromptr (TM) to tell him what to say?

Because he hasn't the courtesy to say, "Good Morning, everyone, we have a problem with my Telepromptr (TM) which tells me the drivel I should spew to you".

Sorry, but he really looks pissed off...and that is probably ONE MORE JOB GONE!

This Man is Truly PRESIDENTIAL!

2011-08-03T09:45:00.001-05:00

This man IS an orator, unlike the current pResident of the White House.

And this man, Marco Rubio, speaks sensibly.

Deliver us of Obama and ALL of his ilk!

2011-08-01T22:17:00.001-05:00

For those few of my cyber friends who regularly comment here, I must express a deep apology. I certainly know just who appreciates what I present, and I am soooo sorry...butt for the time being, and my own sanity, I must do this.

I can no longer go on momitoring comments from the cyber-bully trolls...Michael Giovanelli et al, who have connected my name and address to a pornographic website.

To them I give a massive middle finger, as I no longer need to read your aciduous, deprecating comments.

And, sweetie, you can stop sending me that BS "old people's stuff" through the snail mail.

I am on to you.

It's time for a little break...

From My Window: Early Morning Storm

2011-07-23T15:44:00.001-05:00

Scary, isn't it, when lightning storms hover right over you, waking you in the middle of the night.

This occurred Thursday night as well, at approximately the same time: 12:30 AM.

Not the highest quality video, but better than nothing.

The last boomer dumped the power here, which finally was restored at 12:55 this afternoon.

For some reason, here along the Lake Michigan shore, the storms get much more fierce.

From My Window: This evening's fog...

2011-07-19T19:56:00.001-05:00

...looking from northeast to northwest

at 6:45 PM CDT.

Oh, almost forgot...Chicago's many miles of beaches were shut down today due the fog and the fear that the lifeguards might not be able to spot a swimmer in trouble.

Apparently, we are all too stupid and cannot take care of ourselves properly and responsibly while at the beach on yet another 90 degree day.

Bastille Day!

2011-07-14T09:40:00.000-05:00

Claude Monet captured the celebration beautifully, yes?

And today is also the birthday of my grandmother. Born in 1889, Martha chose to marry Benedikt, against the wishes of her family, and they came to the USA in 1912. Their first son, my father, was born in December of 1914.

My Gramma, as we all called her, was a beautiful woman, a wonderful human being. She passed in August of 1983....

If not for her, I would not exist.

So, today, I do not celebrate 'all things French', but look back to my childhood days, spent with my beloved 'Gramma'.

Because...no one seems to notice ART IN MOTION, I show you, again...

2011-07-13T15:09:00.003-05:00

What is it you do not like about me achieving my GOAL of sharing these marvelous days?

Honestly...after dealing with this stupid troll and all my physical probs...I just might DEPRIVE all of you of a look into the mind of a true artist.

I, yes me, myself, shot every pic, and Photshopped each, most carefully, to make a beautiful video/slideshow...because my goal in my life is to re-create the beauty which we were granted.

Sooooo sick of Obama garbage, and they are both garbage...dithering idiots.

"Whatever happens is a result of their conduct."

2011-07-13T14:03:00.001-05:00

I am 65 years old.

I like peas, a wonderful and healthful legume.

In my own estimation, however, Barky's "Eat your Peas" quote shows that he, himself, DISDAINS this marvelous GREEN legume.

Barky should also fall away from the idea (as should his fugly wifey), that HE is the 'parent' of these grand United States of America!

That freakin' troll...

2011-07-13T13:49:00.004-05:00

..does NOT seem to understand...much of anything.

"Don't worry, the church that you hate used this YouTube also and gave them proper acknowledgement. See you ain't the only one - Racist!

By Honesty and Responsbility on I really think this bears repeating... on 7/8/11"

Stupid, just a stupid man..he and his wife...living half-underground...with glass blocks for windows.

And accusing me of being RACIST? For what?

Dumb, Michael. Go away now, and take your meds, like a good little 37-year old boy....

Not on our watch!

2011-07-13T13:25:00.002-05:00

This is a man...a man who turned on that little button known as "common sense".

Herman Cain is, and should be, the 'father figure' Barack never had.

Loo-ey, at his best

2011-07-13T13:05:00.001-05:00

If only Barky would have taken notice..butt he was so caught up with the olden days, which is the equivalent of Saul Alinsky!

And if Louis Armstrong was still alive, I truly think he would ask for impeachment of this 'poseur'!

Though my unmedicated troll...

2011-07-13T12:03:00.001-05:00

...and his 'friends' have consistently called me a 'racist', I ask them:

Why would I be willing to support Herman Cain?

This gentleman is seemingly more 'presidential' than several past Presidents.

This gentleman KNOWS what real is, unlike the current 'renters' in our White House.

Herman Cain: a beautiful American and, a beautiful human being.

Gee golly whiz! Somehow, I cannot envision Herman Cain 'threatening' to stop my Social Security check?

Hey, don't play golf with my (and others') money!

2011-07-13T02:04:00.006-05:00

And don't threaten me and other seniors, as you did last evening, Barky.

He's getting quite huffy-puffy, isn't he?

Just like a 6 year old who can't get what he wants and throws a tantrum.

Except...he is a 50 year old man, who has never held a REAL job in the private sector.

Oh, BTW...SS checks do not 'get mailed' on the third of the month, Barky...that's when they must arrive!

What a putz!

D'oh!! Anyone? Bueller?

PALM DESERT, CA - JULY 12: Steve Ford (L) comforts his brother Jack Ford during the funeral for their mother and former first lady Betty Ford at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church July 12, 2011 in Palm Desert, California. Family, dignitaries, including first lady Michelle Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President Bill Clintonattended the service at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church, during which former first lady Rosalynn Carterand journalist Cokie Roberts presented eulogies for the outspoken Ford, who will be buried alongside her husband, former President Gerald R. Ford, in Grand Rapids, Michigan following a second service July 14.

*********

When my own Mother passed, in 1982, there were politicians at her funeral, too. But they were always 'too busy' to visit her...she suffered from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis--ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease)...and they, Dems all, apparently thought she was USELESS at that point.

She still had her very good brain...simply, she could no longer speak.

THAT'S when I began to distrust Democrats...and it will always be that way, especially as I, myself, am now 65, disabled, and the Obama-boy is saying my SS check might not be there on August 3rd?

*********

My deepest condolences to the Ford family upon the loss of your very courageous outspoken mother.

She did all of us well!

I really think this bears repeating...

2011-07-08T07:41:00.002-05:00

...don't you?

I understand how many hours it took to make this video...and "ziocody" deserves more credit than he or she has gotten so far.

Does Barack even know ANYTHING of American History? Other than black slavery, as told to him by his wifey? He is not 'black'...he is mulatto, and continually seems to deny his Caucasian roots.
A false man, a phoney pResident.

Just in case...you didn't catch it

A Message to Michelle

2011-07-07T19:03:00.006-05:00

First of all, Michelle, you are NEVER fully dressed.

You are pretty ugly.

Even when and if you smile

[TESSIE]
[spoken] So, for all of the "Hours of Smiles" Family,
this is Bert Healy saying...
[singing] Hey hobo man,
Hey Dapper Dan,
You've both got your style

[ALL ORPHANS]
But brother, you're never fully dressed
Without a smile
Your clothes may be Beau Brummelly
They stand out a mile
But brother you're never fully dressed
Without a smile

[JULY]
[spoken] Who cares what they're wearing
on Main Street of Saville Row
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe.

[MOLLY]
That matters

[TESSIE]
[spoken] Ah. the lovely Boylan Sisters.

[DUFFY, KATE AND PEPPER]
Doo doodle-oo doo
Doo doodle-oo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo

[ALL ORPHANS]
Who cares what they're wearing on Main Street
or Saville Row
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe that matters
So, Senator, so, janitor
So long for a while
Remember you're never fully dressed
Though you may wear the best
You're never fully dressed without a
Smile
Smile
Smile!!!
Smile darn ya, smile.

First of all, I used to hate hearing "Tomorrow" by the violinists at brunch in the Hyatt in Milwaukee.

Then...I worked the show, as costume assistant to Mr. Rhodes Reason, who was playing 'Daddy Warbucks' with the First Tour.

And I found those children to be especially adorable, even when the 'Annie' peed during the curtain calls.

Perhaps...just perhaps...

2011-07-07T18:56:00.001-05:00

It must have been wonderful...

2011-07-07T18:44:00.001-05:00

"Canto della Terra"

The Translation:

Yes I know
My love, that you and I
Are together briefly
For just a few moments
In silence
As we look out of our windows
And listen
To the sky
And to a world
That's awakening
And the night is already far away
Already, far away

Look at this world
Spinning with us
Even in the dark
Look at this world
Spinning for us
Giving us hope and some
Sun, sun sun

My love, you are you my love
I hear your voice,
And I listen to the sea.
It sounds just like your breathing
And all the love you want to give me
This love
That is there, hidden
Hidden among the waves
All the waves in the world
Just like a boat that....

Look at this world
Spinning with us
Even in the dark
Look at this world
Spinning for us
Giving us hope,
And some sun, sun, sun,
Some sun, sun, sun.

Look at this world
Spinning with us
Giving us some sun,
Mighty sun
Mighty sun
Mighty sun

For what is man?

2011-07-07T18:05:00.001-05:00

There's certainly nothing wrong with listening to Sinatra on a Thursday, is there?

Does Barky, ever-deficient in American history, even know who Frank Sinatra was?

Oh...yeah!

2011-07-07T17:56:00.001-05:00

Just a li'l bit o' history for Barack to study.

Dedicated to the troll...your time is coming, creep!

2011-07-07T17:46:00.001-05:00

So maybe you don't like the fact...

2011-07-06T22:17:00.008-05:00

...that I have been able to achieve

a good part of a 29 year old GOAL?

When I visited Italy, for the first time, I was intent on shooting research shots...because I was then a Scenic Designer/ Scenic Artist...very intent upon replicating anywhere in Italy, when necessary.

These are my shots, which I never had the money to make the coffee table book I so wanted to do.

I am more than pleased to be 'still alive at 65' and share this 1982 tour through Genova, the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, with all of you.

2011-07-01T23:26:00.002-05:00

...and remember all of those who fought, and are STILL fighting for our independence, our freedom.

From http://www.youtube.com/user/ziocody comes this beautiful piece:

Uploaded by ziocody on Oct 12, 2010

"Independence Day is annually celebrated on July 4 and is often known as "the Fourth of July". It is the anniversary of the publication of the declaration of independence from Great Britain in 1776. Patriotic displays and family events are organized throughout the United States. Many people display the American flag on their homes. The celebrations have deep roots in the American tradition of political freedom.

You probably recognize this popular song that has played in countless films and TV productions. Adagio for Strings, composed by Samuel Barber, has also been arranged for choral performances. More recently I found the robust brass arrangement and it has haunted me to do something more with it. My journey in life took me to the Capitol and I would like to think what you see and hear are a perfect fit.

Honor Air is an effort to charter flights to the National Mall bringing war veterans to see the memorials. Even though he served during WWII, my Grandfather who is 94 chose not to go because he didn't want to take the seat of a veteran who saw combat. Part of the reason I produced this piece was to bring the monuments to him.

Your comments are appreciated.

The U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. In proclaiming the holiday, he said

"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with lots of pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."

PRESIDENT LINCOLN, hearing that a mother had given five sons to the Union army, and that all of them had been killed on the battlefield, wrote her the following letter of sympathy :

"EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Nov. 2I, 1864. " To MRS. BIXBY, BOSTON, MASS.

" Dear Madam—I have been shown, in the files of the War Department, a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which shall attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, A. LINCOLN."

Thank you so much, ziocody!

To begin this weekend of Independence Day

2011-07-01T22:42:00.001-05:00

And...hopefully we shall all become independent (SOON) of Barack INSANE Obama...or whoever the heck he is!

Happy Independence Day...EVERYONE!

Does Barack Obama even know the story....

2011-06-27T01:42:00.005-05:00

in "West Side Story"?

Uh, sorry...them be white boys...and Buh-rock ain' got no kin'a care 'bout dem things.

HE be golfin' now, agin.

Gangs, Barky, lots of gangs...and I'm certain they'll invade HYDE PARK, if they haven't already.

Then, again, these guys could all have been "friends" of RHAM, from the old days.

Butt...they just don't seem to look like these white guys.

Why is dat, Mr. GodObama?

Luciano, mi manchi...e tu mi manchi

2011-06-27T00:01:00.002-05:00

2011-06-26T22:41:00.000-05:00

..You might look forward to "Walls of Genova" as much as I?

Huffin' an' Puffin'...and he still can't BLOW the HOUSE down

2011-06-26T22:35:00.000-05:00

The Stupid-A$$ed trolls are still at me...

2011-06-26T22:18:00.000-05:00

...even regarding my Father's Day post, with the pictures of my Dad.

Time for me to enlist LAWYERS...and sue these bastiches for anything they are worth (probably not much, but it would be a good thing to take them down after almost a year, yes)...I have their IPs!

In the meantime, I hope you will bear with me and take another look? Several old friends have seen this...they are video professionals...and have given me an "A".

After 29 years, I am soooo pleased to share my experiences in Italy with all of you...to show you the Italy that existed then.

Currently, I am working on what I will call "Walls of Genova", with accompanying music by Antonio Vivaldi. I shall totally ignore the ignorant troll and his friends, and hope to have the new video up by early next week.

Perhaps, if parents listened also

I wish...

2011-06-18T22:47:00.001-05:00

...we'd have all listened more...to our Dads.

For all those "common" dads who perished in the 9/11 Islamic attack

2011-06-18T21:46:00.004-05:00

I, for one, shall never forget.

Apparently, Barack and his wifey Michelle CONDONE this inhumane behavior.

ISLAM: a horribly out-of-date, supposed, religion.

Barack does not know this, and never shall...

2011-06-18T20:57:00.002-05:00

...because he does not know even WHO his father was.

To all who have lost their fathers

2011-06-18T20:35:00.001-05:00

Papa, how I loved you...

...Papa, how I miss you kissing me "Good night".

My Dad: 1914-1994

2011-06-18T20:12:00.000-05:00

My Dad is standing with my Grandpa, next to Grandma and Uncle Steve, in the summer of 1919

My Dad in the 1940s, shortly after he became a "copper"

My Dad (in the wheelchair) with his brothers and sisters in 1993

What can I say other than,

Dad, I miss you so much.

(and Grandpa, too!)

Such silliness...from the Chicago Tribune

2011-06-18T12:05:00.000-05:00

Are there no proofreaders at the Trib?

Under the photo of the obvious meth-head and her partner, the shot is (Polide photo). That is underlined in red as I post.

Of course it should read as (Police photo), but no one, in these marvelous days of the Internet, seems to spellcheck and/or care anymore.

I also ask you to take a good look at "The SUV crash" at the lower right of this screen capture. Poor woman...to be described as a crash.

The Trib, and others of the MSM have gone down the proverbial $hitter, haven't they?

Cuz, kiddos, why not?

Ya got Barky and the Mooch...both ugly...sooooo why not have mice and "democrats"?

BTW, I believe the WH has had many mice for many years;

Hasn't it?

Putting this up again...

2011-06-18T00:17:00.002-05:00

...because I shot these in 1982...and they will never be seen again in this manner, other than here.

And to my troll Mikey, and your silly wifey, if you don't like this...va fan culo, which means, basically, stick it where the black helicopters outside my window do no WANT TO GO.

Talkin' shovel ready, BARKY? Apparently SHE is!

2011-06-17T23:24:00.003-05:00

Michelle Obama, once again looking totally stupid, as Liberals are wont to do.

This is one of the ugliest poses

Michelle (let's just call her MOO, as in cow), has ever made.

"Honey, why the heck yo be lookin' so fierce?

Cuz your sweater be so wrinkly?
And you and your hubby bein' so wealthy an' all?"

Cuz we know he's not
and never was 'shovel ready' for the presidency.

VOTE OUT OBAMA "THE LIAR" IN 2012

WTF 2012: Are You In?

2011-06-17T22:40:00.002-05:00

A lovely song that says "NO MO Obama--evah!"

Can we please get rid of the FAUXbamas even before 2012?

A little more Mandy

2011-06-14T22:33:00.001-05:00

And why not?

If the band played on?

A bit of an interlude...we all need

2011-06-14T22:20:00.001-05:00

For all fathers, as your day approaches

2011-06-14T22:03:00.001-05:00

To Jeffery and Peter...thanks guys!

2011-06-14T20:49:00.002-05:00

BTW, Papa John uses this cane to help him walk. Period.

Guess he never saw this?

There was a tumultuous hullabalu over Streisand (a Jewess) kissing Sharif (an Egyptian)...

...and just look at what has happened since?

BTW, Huma is of Iranian and Pakistani descent.

And the expected Weiner child shall be brought up as a....

If that don't beat all, huh?

2011-06-10T02:08:00.010-05:00

Sure. The Obamas have been compared to the Kennedys ad infinitum, haven't they?

They sure look like Jack and Jackie, don't they?

Especially when Michelle wears a THONG with an evening dress...Jacqueline, were she still alive, would approve, right, because she was married to a Democrat...and whatever Dems do is OK, right?

Well, if you have read, the Kennedys were pretty amped up and down with pharmaceuticals--and I expect the situation is similar with the Obamas.

She is either fearful of being "doped up to high heaven" to attend this sham dinner, OR she is just 'doped up' as usual (menopausal be-yotch).. No woman with training LIFTS the haunches of her gown, ever!

Then I noticed this on my sidebar, and because Google is playing its stupid political games, you, my readers, are forced to view this ugliness:

"1963 John F. Kennedy names Winston Churchill U.S. honorary citizen"

Soooo. As I am finally getting back to my 'old mode' of carping about politics, I have to ask the pResident:

"What is it you didn't like about Churchill? I realize Churchill was way before 'YOUR time' BUTT, what did you not care for about Winston Churchill, as he was designated an honorary citizen of the US by President Kennedy?

Are you dishonoring Jack Kennedy's judgment, and therefore his presidency, because he and most of his family are no longer alive to defend themselves? "

Luciano vs. Andrea

2011-06-10T01:17:00.001-05:00

Each has a beautiful tradition in operatic voice.

Luciano was from Modena; Andrea is from Bologna.

Believe me, there is a great difference in the accents between these two cities (I've visited both), yet it is almost magical to be able to listen to each of their voices, isn't it?

While I was thinking of Luciano...

..why not listen to his rendition of "CARUSO"?

CARUSO
by artist Lucio Dalla

Qui dove il mare luccica
e tira forte il vento
su una vecchia terrazza davanti al golfo di Sorrento
un uomo abbraccia una ragazza
dopo che aveva pianto
poi si schiarisce la voce e ricomincia il canto:

Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
e' una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue dint' e' vene sai...

Vide le luci in mezzo al mare
pensò alle notti la in America
ma erano solo le lampare
e la bianca scia di un'elica
sentì il dolore nella musica
si alzò dal Pianoforte
ma quando vide la luna uscire da una nuvola
gli sembrò più dolce anche la morte
Guardò negli occhi la ragazza
quegli occhi verdi come il mare
poi all'improvviso uscì una lacrima
e lui credette di affogare.

Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
e' una catena ormai
e scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai...

Potenza della lirica
dove ogni dramma e' un falso
che con un po' di trucco e con la mimica
puoi diventare un altro
Ma due occhi che ti guardano
così vicini e veri
ti fanno scordare le parole
confondono i pensieri.

Così diventò tutto piccolo
anche le notti la in America
ti volti e vedi la tua vita
come la scia di un'elica.

Ah si, e' la vita che finisce
ma lui non ci pensò poi tanto
anzi si sentiva felice
e ricominciò il suo canto:

Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
e' una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai...

Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
e' una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai...

TRANSLATION

Here, where the sea shines
and the wind howls,
on the old terrace beside the gulf of Sorrento,
a man embraces a girl
he wept after,
then clears his throat and continues the song:

I love you very much,
very, very much, you know;
it is a chain by now
that melts the blood inside the veins, you know…

He saw the lights out on the sea,
thought of the nights there in America,
but they were only the fishermen’s lamps
and the white wash astern.
He felt the pain in the music
and stood up from the piano,
but when he saw the moon emerging from a cloud
death also seemed sweeter to him.
He looked the girl in the eyes,
those eyes as green as the sea.
Then suddenly a tear fell
and he believed he was drowning.

I love you very much,
very, very much, you know,
it is a chain by now
that melts the blood inside the vein you know…

The power of opera,
where every drama is a hoax;
with a little make-up and with mime
you can become someone else.
But two eyes that look at you,
so close and real,
make you forget the words,
confuse your thoughts,

So everything became small,
also the nights there in America.
You turn and see your life
through the white wash astern.

But, yes, it is life that ends
and he did not think so much about it
on the contrary, he already felt happy
and continued his song:

I love you very much,
very, very much, you know,
it is a chain by now
that melts the blood inside the veins, you know…

I love you very much,
very, very much, you know,
it is a chain by now
that melts the blood inside the veins, you know…

But, it was done better by Luciano...in 1980

O, Luciano, mi manchi!

For Your Enjoyment, and Mine

Nessun Dorma
Puccini: Turandot

Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o, Principessa,
nella tua fredda stanza,
guardi le stelle
che tremano d'amore
e di speranza.
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me,
il nome mio nessun saprà!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
quando la luce splenderà!
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
che ti fa mia!
(Il nome suo nessun saprà!...
e noi dovrem, ahime, morir!)
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All'alba vincerò!
vincerò, vincerò!

English Translation of "Nessun Dorma"

Nobody shall sleep!...
Nobody shall sleep!
Even you, o Princess,
in your cold room,
watch the stars,
that tremble with love and with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me,
my name no one shall know...
No!...No!...
On your mouth I will tell it when the light shines.
And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!...
(No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!

Obviously, Google has no idea of what it is doing...I merely wanted you all to see the lyrics.

Are they RACIST? Or something?

We All Need This, To Do This...

2011-06-09T22:30:00.004-05:00

...after, and in spite of, the past several weeks.

As a matter of fact, it wouldn't hurt that much to say a prayer EVERY day, would it, for our own and others SAFETY in this "getting-really-crappy-lately" world?

THE PRAYER

I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know

Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe
La luce che to dai

I pray we’ll find your light
Nel cuore restero
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarchi che
When stars go out each night
L’eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c’e
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we’ll be safe.
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
(We dream of a world with little violence)

Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza(A world of justice and hope)
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita(Where everyone near raises his hand
In peace and brotherhood)

La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E’il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child

Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera

Such a BEAUTIFUL day here in Chicago..

2011-06-02T05:18:00.002-05:00

...and I seem to be up most of the night anyway...why not?

It's the middle of the night...

2011-06-02T04:50:00.004-05:00

...are you watching out for your neighbors?

One of my neighbors found herself almost in harm's way...the CPD, six or so, were at her door.

When I opened mine, a CPD officer approached me. I informed him of my neighbor's unwanted problem...stupid black men pounding at her door, when she is obviously at work (a nurse...in a prominent Chicago hospital).

As for me, I'm sick and tired of these black goofs...as is she.

Coming soon...

On this day...

2011-06-02T00:33:00.002-05:00

...at 7:45AM...I gave birth to a son, my first, who like my second, apparently lives way beyond the ether...which means they have both died.

Since 1996 and 2000, my life has been...well...pretty miserable without my sons...but, for some reason, I live on. To Krist and Erik...thank you for being here with me these many years.

Listen to the Duke...

2011-06-02T00:11:00.001-05:00

Sr. Rosemary, the person in charge at Misericordia would not appreciate your public misrepresentation of her organization through your blog, neither would the families of the children and adults who are part of the Misericordia family.
