I Swear

 


     You know that joke that whenever you hit your little toe on something hard, you learn a new language, or more succinctly, you learn some swear words in a new language? It’s true. Lol. Two weeks ago, I hit my baby toe on the foot of a table really hard, and I thought I cursed in German, I think, something like Ich liebe Dich! Nope, I don’t think that’s a German curse.

     And then, just hours ago, that same baby toe, which was almost healed, hit the door as I was going out of my room, and I thought I cursed in French, something like Je t’aime! Nope, I don’t think that’s a French curse word. Lol.

     Anyway, hitting your little toe onto something hard or getting yourself hurt physically are not the only reasons you curse in a foreign language. You also do it whenever you read some political bad news, or tragic news like some dastardly murder or other crimes being committed, or when you hear some cruelty being done to a dog, or that moment when you really need to search an important thing on the internet and the WiFi isn’t working, or when you received a cat product when you actually ordered a dog product.

   Anyway, they say that one of the best ways to deal with life’s difficulties and to relieve some stress is to curse, so again, I’m cursing, in Japanese this time, as I read that a Philippine senator, who continues to hide cowardly from a warrant of arrest and hasn’t been reporting for work for months continues to receive his salary.

   Daisuki!

"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...

Roger Waters, Thom Yorke, Taylor Swift, and an Audacious Instagram User

Image
       Roger Waters (former Pink Floyd frontman) and Thom Yorke (Radiohead frontman), two of my favorite songwriters of all time, continue to feud with each other. The quarrel started a few years ago, I think, when Roger wrote and asked Thom not to perform in Israel, which Thom ignored. Roger has been protesting Israel for a long time and asking his fellow artists no to go and perform there. He called Thom “damaged and not very bright.” Lol.      I learned that a friend had recently undergone surgery for myoma, which was a common benign tumor in uterus, and wished her well. I really don’t know what causes it, but no, long-term celibacy doesn’t cause it. Lol.      I have an Instagram account which is empty and pointless and thoroughly inactive, but despite that, one account had the temerity to follow me. Lol. But a few days ago, my one and only follower deactivated their account. I don’t know if it’s a fake account, but if not, I hope...
