...Life Is Sweet...

Pat Benatar




...Life is sweet, sweet as strawberry wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience...

...Think About It...

Is man one of God's blunders?
Or is God one of man's blunders?

...Helena Paparizou...Searching For The Truth...
Really Loving Helena Paparizou's new tunes! Think she is a great contemporary Greek artist! Since bringing the Eurovision Song Contest to Athens, Greece for the first ever time in 2006 (Her song My Number 1 was the winning song in Ukraine in 2005) it's been nothing but increasing success for her! Love this woman!!!

...Studio Ghibli...

My cousin has recently got me into watching works from Studio Ghibli, the Japanese animation studio. To date I have seen Howl's Moving Castle, The Cat Returns, My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away. All of them have been really good. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed them! The animation style is simply beautiful. Not sure which I preferred out of all of them. Though I loved the characters in The Cat Returns and Spirited Away was such a beautiful story, In fact I want to watch it again! Though I'm not sure why but the lead character in Spirited Away reminds of someone - maybe it's just the voice????? Hmmmm I'm not sure but I just have this weird feeling of familiarity with the main character Chihiro Ogino. Either way familiar voice or not it is a brilliant film.

The film follows Chihiro as she and her parents move to their new home in the Japanese countryside. On route they take a shortcut and accidentally enter a world of spirits with her parents who help themselves to some lunch after the long journey and are subsequently turned into pigs. A mysterious stranger known as Haku helps Chihiro to get a job in the bathhouse to the spirits while she tries to find a way to free her parents before they become the main course for the guests of the bathhouse...





I created a hero who is an ordinary girl, someone with whom the audience can sympathize. It's not a story in which the characters grow up, but a story in which they draw on something already inside them, brought out by the particular circumstances. I want my young friends to live like that, and I think they, too, have such a wish.

...Alcohol...


Here's a story about a sinner,
He used to be a winner who enjoyed a life of prominence and position,
But the pressures at the office and his socialite engagements,
And his selfish wife's fanatical ambition,
It turned him to the booze,
And he got mixed up with a floosie
And she led him to a life of indecision.
The floosie made him spend his dole
She left him lying on Skid Row
A drunken lag in some Salvation Army Mission.
It's such a shame.

Oh demon alcohol,
Sad memories I cannot recall,
Who thought I would say,
Damn it all and blow it all,
Oh demon alcohol,
Memories I cannot recall,
Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol.
Sad memories I cannot recall,
Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol.

Barley wine, pink gin,
He'll drink anything,
Port, pernod or tequila,
Rum, scotch, vodka on the rocks,
As long as all his troubles disappeared.
But he messed up his life, went and beat up his wife,
And the floosie's gone and found another sucker
She's gonna turn him on to drink
She's gonna lead him to the brink
And when his money's gone,
She'll leave him in the gutter,
It's such a shame.

Oh demon alcohol,
Sad memories I cannot recall,
Who thought I would say,
Damn it all and blow it all,

Sad memories I cannot recall,
Who thought I would fall,
A slave to demon alcohol.

...Eurovision 2010...

Yes...Yes...Yes I did in fact watch it. And Yes I was actually pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it and although the UK came...last(?) I'm sure it was last)it wasn't an entry to be embarrassed by as previous years have shown. Personally not a fan of the winning song, which came from Germany and didn't think it'd win, but the rest of Europe proved me wrong! This years contest was in Norway and Next year will now be in Germany.

I was disappointed Hungary weren't in this year, but I'm biased!
On pure song merritt alone and not the country, I enjoyed Belgium's entry a lot alongside Ireland and Greece. I noticed there was a lot of booing from the audience whenever Russia were awarded a lot of points.

The song/act if you prefer in the intermission when the votes were being counted was quite genius. Preformed by Madcon and the song was called Glow. They filmed different countries around the world dancing the same dance to this one song. In the capital cities of the countries, In peoples homes and in the arena which housed this years Eurovision. It was brilliant to see as it just reiterates the whole point to the world that music unites. Language, culture, history, distance, whatever it may be, people unite with one common goal...Music.

Oh and gotta love the broken English accent of the presenters, that is pure Eurovision for me! The thing I always remembered about it growing up!

...Wish You Were Here...

"How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here."

...Sometime Around Midnight...

"And it starts, sometime around midnight.
Or at least that’s when you lose yourself
for a minute or two.
As you stand, under the bar lights.
And the band plays some song
about forgetting yourself for a while.
And the piano’s this melancholy soundtrack to her smile.
And that white dress she’s wearing
you haven’t seen her for a while."

“..contrary to what the cynics say, distance is not for the fearful, it is for the bold. It’s for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It’s for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don’t see it nearly enough…”

Prices will rise,
Politicians will philander,
You, too, will get old.
And when you do,
You'll fantasize that when you were young,
Prices were reasonable,
Politicians were noble,
And children respected their elders."
