Wrapping Your Head Around Someone's Heart

 

     

     There are those who are still trying to wrap their head around on how a lot of people, whose hearts are hardened when it comes to love, would be so agog when it comes to Valentine’s Day, celebrating it like it’s the best occasion in the world, buying gifts and everything that has to do with celebrating the romantic occasion. People who for many years refuses to be in a romantic relationship, who don’t entertain and immediately drive away admirers and suitors; people who don’t believe that love is all about trust, sacrifices and risks and who think that embracing love should only mean lying in a bed of roses—but are the flag-bearers of Valentine’s Day.

     But then, there are atheists who are agog when it comes to Christmas. Jesus? No, certainly not the Son of God because, well, there’s no God. Bible? It’s a book written by idiots and has lots of loopholes and unbelievable fantastical stories. Noah’s Ark? The parting of Red Sea? Those are stories more fictional than the Marvel superhero movies. Christmas? Yes, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. They are so excited about Christmas that they are already buying Christmas gifts in September. 

     And then, there’s this father, a religious zealot who firmly believes that the world will end within the next two years, who just purchased college plans for his kids aged four and five. And also these romantic people who are more than convinced that those people who do nothing in their life but doubt and mock and taunt love will ever change their mind but are still patiently trying to convert them to do otherwise.

"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...
