Year 2017 Starts Today



        
       2016 ended yesterday, it’s 2017 now, so there’s no truth to the rumor that some techie geeks were spreading, that 2016 would be replaced by 2016s. Year 2016 was replaced, it didn’t just get upgraded. It ended yesterday, while this blog ends today. (I was thinking whether to completely delete this blog or just let it float as it is not harming anyone anyway as only minuscule number of people know about this; I decided for the latter, just hid a few personal entries (which were written out of either drunkenness or utter melancholia).
       
       So we have a new year now, I wish my loved ones and friends happiness, good health and more blessings the whole year through while I wish my enemies and former friends sufferings. Lol.
       
       Happy new year. 2016 had been a fairly good year for me and my loved ones, I pray that 2017 would be a lot better. And for my country, the Philippines, I wish it prosperity and less blood. 
       
       And in lieu of writing entries for this blog, I’d probably get busy rebuilding my six-pack abs which unfortunately had been turned into a terrible beer belly.
       
       But if you find abs boring and superficial, there are still lots of productive things to do this new year, like the photo below suggests:

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

Image
If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...
