Why worry

http://www.imeem.com/bennyv/music/H5G9Zyke/dire_straits_why_worry/


Baby I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey

Why worry, there should be laughter after the pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

Baby when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way

Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

Polyglot

O singura limba nu ajunge niciodata.
L'amour comprend toutes les langues .
Ta me i-ngra leat.
Te amo.

Eist

Maybe I am getting old but I find people tend to listen less now . It amazes me how many people think that hearing and listening are the same. It is very easy to hear, you just have to remain silent. In order to listen you must concentrate on what someone is saying and try to understand what they mean. I have fallen into the trap of thinking I was listening but in reality I was just hearing. It is quite a shock to realise that. It is also a shock to realise that people I thought were listening, were just hearing. Lets all try to listen more.

Genesis

There is a series on TV about the American space program. It covers the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions. I was lucky enough to see the pictures of the first man stepping on the moon in 1969. I was only 7 but I was amazed by the images. It was then the first stirrings of interest in astonomy, astro-physics and airplanes came into my head. I wanted to know more about the events I was seeing. I wanted to know what was out there and why I was here. I wanted to know how we were able to get to the moon and what the moon was made of(It was not cheese by the way :P ) My interests never amounted to more than a hobby. I had neither the intelligence or the money to pursue my interests in a professional arena. I find the big bang theory, the "missing" dark matter in the universe and black holes fascinating topics. I have witnessed a partial solar ecipse here in Ireland. I was in Bucharest when another partial eclipse occured on 1st August this year but I discovered that even a solar eclipse can itself be eclipsed by something much more important, Love.
Have a safe night everyone.

Remember

This is a sad time of year for me. Sad because I lost someone close to me in this month. Sad also because it is a month that reminds me that no one can really share our sorrow. We must carry our pain alone and come to terms with it alone. Sorry about the depressing post.
Some good news. Today is election day in the USA. At last we will not have to suffer the wall to wall coverage of American politics for another 4 Years. Yipeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
