31 December 2005

Finest Hour

I'm 31 and this is the 31st day since The Diva Series found it's breath. 360-something days have past. Tonight will see the world clamour and get caught in traffic to get to the countdown point. Some will pop some pills, some will be working, some will be home watching the stars. All will be with friends.

2006. The Chinese astrologists claim it won't be a great year for most. 2 plus 6 is 8. I would like to remind these astro-people that 8 in Chinese means Prosper(ity).

I began this blog because of my re-education of our musical history (as mentioned in my first post). So, I'd like to close 2005 with a quote.

"...whatever was distasteful or unpleasant or uncomfortable or painful - music could always soothe that. All you have to do is reach out to beauty."
~ quincy jones


To everyone I know and have had the pleasure of meeting (both in body and virtual), clink clink!

See you tomorrow then.

love always,
dween

ONLY 31 and writing like a wise old sage already? *sigh* puts old ladies like me to shame....knew i should have spent more time with my head down over textbooks rather than beachcombing and a-wandering! I guess i just never felt that my chalice was ever full, and somewhere out there is always another experience to add more liquid to it.

May u achieve what u set out to do with this blog idea. Being a canine year ahead,and also being talented, i am sure you will not be short of ideas that will set tails a-waggin'! (tongues too ...maybe?)Good luck.

Edwin,
Aussie four million bucks spent on a display of fireworks designed to dazzle and impress, I sure hope yr friends there that night felt it was worth every cent. It was certainly an awesome display. I watched it on telly but with some trepidation, wondering if the whole fanfare would abrubtly come to halt by someone's decision to strap a couple of explosives to his backpack and blow himself to eternity....like they did in the Bali bombings and for which many aussie families are still suffering. Where once we chose to live here because of tranquility and peace, we now live with stark public warnings to watch our backs. The world's a-changin'.....

please feel free. I agree with your senitiments. the world it-is-a-changin'. What with the recent racial riots in Sydney, it's a wonder that my friends are still alive. And that is the cause for our celebration. Too bad the Aussies had to spend 4 million. Their money, our pleasures.

Everyone around the world is suffering...with each other.

Someone presses a button, and BOOM!

Need we wonder anymore?
