I give you a large enscribed creamcake for this, sweet Bess, while I would give others smaller un-enscribed ones. Nothing for those who haven’t posted photos of themselves.
The Beethoven site lost Uniqor because, to quote Peter the administrator, “you are trying to have a philosophical conversation while the rest of us are just trying to discuss classical music”… nevertheless, I respected Peter for saying that, because firstly, he was at least no intellectual snob, and secondly, he sort of described the story of my tragic life. I then therefore tuned into ILP full-time, and it’s been a long time for me as well since. Tempus fugus indeed! Ultimately we are all corpses outside tombs, so let’s have some fun, motherf… eh, excuse me. Oh Bessy, you are actually one sentimental seed.
Finally, let’s have some old-fashioned yet most exuberant American jazz
I told you about the photo thing. When I stop teaching children and talking sex - I will post them. But with my children and my teaching, I simply must remain publicly invisible. My life as a musican scares them enough having guys named “Lizard” come in and jam with their mother in the basement.
My friends here get pictures of me as I do of them. So stay my friend and you’ll get one!
The Go! Team aren’t my band, I just thought that their feckless optimism was appropriate for this little celebration. I quite like them, they’re like a simpler version of the Flaming Lips…
I’ve seen you in black, Bess, a great pic like that would do the work of ten. I’m fairly content knowing that you are in fact a French cousin of Zeta Jones. Oh that smile, the curve… WOnderful.
Bessy… Bessy… Bessy… this is Mundane babble. There’s a reason I only post here.
Very quickly then: No, I am not a Jew… Christian, Arab, or Muslim.
I believe in principles like The Golden Rule: “Do Unto Others…” not religious, political, racial or national organisations that use principles and values when it suits them, then drop them when they don’t.
My point in using that in my sig is simply to support my belief that Judaism is NOT Zionism. Judaism (a religion) is, by its very nature, God-centred while Zionism (a political movement) is man-centred. This link also shows that it’s not only left-wingers who believe Palestinians have rights too.
The attempt to hijack Judaism and merge it with Zionism to give it religious / moral authority is a nefarious political act akin to the Xtians re-branding their right wing, man-made policies as “Christianityâ€.
If you find a link that says “Christians United Against Xtianity” (i.e. Christianity without “Christ”), I’ll put that in my sig too
