An interesting quote from E. Lynn Harris...

Reading a novel Just As I Am by now one of my favourite authors, I came across the quote below, and was moved to share it, hope you find it an interesting sentiment as well...

"You don't think AIDS is God's work?"  I asked
"Chile, no. AIDS is some of man's shit. but I think when we come into the world, its already established when we're going to leave. my time is just almost up..."
"...Whats it going to take to find a cure?" I questioned.
"When they realise that everyone's life is worth saving: the men; the women and the babies.. when they realise gay men do more than hair and sew dresses." Kyle said.
"You think people still think its a gay disease?
"Oh yeah. they have to believe that. it makes them feel safe...."

Of Adele and an easy Tuesday Afternoon...

As I sit, I move through music and artistes I have not listened to in a while, I came across A song I fell in love with last week, Cheryl Cole's Promise This as sung by Adele. I have no real "emotional" reason why I love the song, it really is just a slower take on what was expressed in Rollin' in the Deep, (wait...umm...maybe less than no emotional reason, lol) but  this song moves me..it is just...wow...and I dont say that often of many things...I just love this song, and to top it off the song has in its lyrics "Alouette" nursery rhyme, brilliantly poignant juxtaposing "him" as the lark being dismembered and asking to be covered before the inevitable demise... for your listening pleasure, Adele with a cover of Cheryl Cole's Promise This =)

Feeling...tired

I run...
clutching that parcel so close to my chest
My breath ragged gasps
barely enough to sustain my effort...
I am sure I will expire soon
one can operate on borrowed strength for so long
and the miracle that I have not yet collapsed begs that I continue
that I hold on despite all that would have me expire
I owe it...
to wherever this energy springs from

...right?

Some post Christmas Season Nostalgia...

So The alumni of Ardenne Music Club (my alma mater) decided to, in a fit of our usual routine, to sing an old carol from the "good old days" (yes...its 90% of the time a christmas carol that we sing...there was always something about singing carols at Ardenne) Behold our Quintet rendition of "O Come O Come Emanuel" (and because I was Idle, A fanfare that popped outta my head while I was amassing the Pics to make the video.

(^_^') Hope you enjoy, and as usual, Feedback Welcome!
