The Death of an Actress And the Rescue of Four Thousand Beagles

 


     Sad News: Actress Anne Heche was declared brain dead on 11th of August after being severely injured in an accident fifth of August, 2022. Her heart was allowed to keep beating so her organs could be donated. Miss Heche, while under the influence of drugs, drove her car at high speed in a residential area and crashed into a house (it burned and the tenants were injured including the pets). Her filmography includes Six Days, Seven Nights (with Harrison Ford), John Q (with Denzel Washington) and a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic Psycho. She had been battling mental illness for years and was (sexually) abused by her (ironically gay) father (who died of AIDS) when she was a child. She was 53.

     Very Happy News: The Humane Society of the United States is removing and rescuing around 4,000 beagles from a mass breeding facility in Virginia. The unfortunate dogs were being sold to laboratories for drug experiments. They were reportedly being maltreated and fed with rotten foods and were being killed instead of being treated whenever they got sick. The beagle breed was chosen by the facility because aside from their size being ideal as they weren’t too small or too big, they were docile, sweet, and forgiving. I have a beagle , and yes, he is docile, sweet, and forgiving. And a handsome son of a bitch. The rescued dogs will soon be up for adoption.

     Peace!

Things You Are Not Allowed To Do During Holy Week (Or So They Say)

Image
       Today is Holy Tuesday, three days away from Good Friday. For many, this is the week to be holy (pun intended). The week for an individual to repent or show how good a christian he is. Ask a priest or any religious person  and they will most likely tell you that the following things are not allowed this week(especially on Good Friday and Black Saturday):        Gorging        Meat        Sex        Porn        Cursing        Vices        Loud music        R-Rated films        Dirty thoughts        Singing (loud music)        Dancing (to loud music)        Bathing (just kidding, it is allowed, of course)        Some acquiesce to this and act all haloed the whole week—then break it when the week’s over. But many will ignore it and go to Boracay and dance naked at the beach while the dolphins watch.   (Okay, there are no dolphins in Boracay and people watch dolphins, not the other way around.)        Our family stays quiet   and shuns meat and

"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

Wait For Her (The Song And The Poem)

Image
       “Wait For Her,” a ballad from Roger Waters’ new album, Is This The Life We Really Want, was inspired from the following poem by Palestinian poet and writer Mahmoud Darwish.  Mr. Waters set melody to it, tweaked some words and the result, a hauntingly smart love song. Lesson From The Kama Sutra (Wait For Her) By Mahmoud Darwish (Translation by Dr. Fayeq Oweis) With a glass inlaid with gemstones, wait for her   on a pool around the evening and among the perfumed roses, wait for her… with the patience of a horse destined for the slopes of the mountains, wait for her… with a distinctive aesthetic taste of a prince, wait for her… with seven pillows stuffed with light clouds, wait for her… with the fire of women incense filling the place, wait for her… with the scent of a male sandals on horseback, wait for her… and do not rush it, if she arrives late then wait for her… and if she arrives early, wait for her… do
