I could feel at the time

There was no way of knowing

Fallen leaves in the night

Who can say where they´re blowing

As free as the wind

Hopefully learning

Why the sea on the tide

Has no way of turning

More than this - there is nothing

More than this - tell me one thing

More than this - there is nothing

It was fun for a while

There was no way of knowing

Like a dream in the night

Who can say where we´re going

No care in the world

Maybe I´m learning

Why the sea on the tide

Has no way of turning

More than this - there is nothing

More than this - tell me one thing

More than this - there is nothing

Leonard Cohen - Suzanne

                       

Reminds,Me,of,My,lost,Loves,of?..,the, Past.

 Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past.

 If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable.
  What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibility Only in a world of speculation. What might have been and what has been Point to one end, which is always present.

Footfalls echo in the memory Down the passage which we did not take Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden. My words echo Thus, in your mind.

 [T.S Eliot]

He'll have to go. (Jim Reeves)

Pete Campbell -The Last Thing On My Mind

Someone Who Believes In You - air supply

Walk and touch peace every moment.
Walk and touch happiness every moment.
Each step brings a fresh breeze.
Each step makes a flower bloom.
Kiss the Earth with your feet.
Bring the Earth your love and happiness.
The Earth will be safe
when we feel safe in ourselves.

- Thich Nhat Hahn

Barbette (December 19, 1898 – August 5, 1973) was an American female impersonator, high-wire performer, and trapeze artist born in Texas on December 19, 1899. Barbette attained great popularity throughout the United States but his greatest fame came in Europe and especially Paris, in the 1920s and 1930s.
Barbette began performing as an aerialist at around the age of 14 as one-half of a circus act called The Alfaretta Sisters. After a few years of circus work, Barbette went solo and adopted his exotic-sounding pseudonym. He performed in full drag, revealing himself as male only at the end of his act.
Following a career-ending illness or injury, Barbette returned to Texas but continued to work as a consultant for motion pictures as well as training and choreographing aerial acts for a number of circuses. After years of dealing with chronic pain, Barbette committed suicide on August 5, 1973. Both in life and following his death, Barbette served as an inspiration to a number of artists including Jean Cocteau and Man Ray.

                                                         [Abraham Ruben, 'Bear Shaman']

In the polytheistic system of the pre-Christian Germanic peoples, wherein different sorts of people venerated different sorts of deities, the berserkers, úlfheðnar, and other warrior-shamans were exemplary devotees of Odin, the Allfather of the northern gods and the giver of óðr, “ecstasy/fury/inspiration,” the Nietzschean “Will to Power.”

 Óðr is the source of poetic inspiration and philosophical insight as well as battle frenzy (“going berserk,” Old Norse berserksgangr). Thus, it should come as no surprise that many of “Odin’s men,” such as Egill Skallagrímsson and Starkaðr, were also warrior-poets. These were no ordinary soldiers; their battle frenzy, with all of its grotesqueness and violence, was of a rarefied, even poetic, sort – and, being a gift from Odin, it was inherently sacred.

Judas Iscariot...Your, Story,is..'Youdas'..

In the Greek New Testament, Judas is called Ιούδας Ισκάριωθ and Ισκαριώτης. "Judas" (spelled "Ioudas" in ancient Greek and "Iudas" in Latin, pronounced yudas in both) is the Greek form of the common name Judah (יהודה, Y^ehûdâh, Hebrew for "God is praised"). The Greek spelling underlies other names in the New Testament that are traditionally rendered differently in English: Judah and Jude. The significance of "Iscariot" is uncertain. There are several major theories on etymology:

• One popular explanation derives Iscariot from Hebrew איש־קריות, Κ-Qrîyôth, or "man of Kerioth". The Gospel of John refers to Judas as "son of Simon Iscariot" (although some translations only refer to him as "the son of Simon" (Jn 6:71, Jn 13:26, King James Version)),^[33] implying it was not Judas, but his father, who came from there.^[34] Some speculate that Kerioth refers to a region in Judea, but it is also the name of two known Judean towns.^[35]
• A second theory is that "Iscariot" identifies Judas as a member of the sicarii.^[36] These were a cadre of assassins among Jewish rebels intent on driving the Romans out of Judea. However, some historians maintain the sicarii arose in the 40s or 50s of the 1st century, in which case Judas could not have been a member.^[37]
• A third possibility advanced by Ernst Wilhelm Hengstenberg is that Iscariot means "the liar" or "the false one," perhaps from the Hebrew אִשְׁקַרְיָא.^[38]
• Fourth, some have proposed that the word derives from an Aramaic word meaning "red color," from the root סקר.^[38]
• Fifth, the word derives from one of the Aramaic roots סכר or סגר. This would mean "to deliver," based on the LXX rendering of Isaiah 19:4a—a theory advanced by J. Alfred Morin.^[39]
• Finally, the epithet could be associated with the manner of Judas' death, i.e., hanging. This would mean Iscariot derives from a kind of Greek-Aramaic hybrid: אִסְכַּרְיוּתָא, Iskarioutha, "chokiness" or "constriction." This might indicate that the epithet was applied posthumously by the remaining disciples, but Joan E. Taylor has argued that it was a descriptive name given to Judas by Jesus, since other disciples such as Simon Peter/Cephas (Kephas = "rock") were also given such names

[wikipedia]     Youdas

Bart Ehrman, though suggesting that the betrayal is "about as historically certain as anything else in the tradition", argues that what was betrayed was not the whereabouts of Jesus, but his private teachings.^[64]
In his book The Sins of Scripture, John Shelby Spong says that "the whole story of Judas has the feeling of being contrived".^[65] He writes: "the act of betrayal by a member of the twelve disciples is not found in the earliest Christian writings. Judas is first placed into the Christian story by the Gospel of Mark (3:19), who wrote in the early years of the eighth decade of the Common Era."^[65] He points out that some of the Gospels, after the Crucifixion, refer to the number of Disciples as "Twelve", as if Judas were still among them. Comparing the three conflicting descriptions of Judas's death — hanging, leaping into a pit, and disemboweling — with three Old Testament betrayals followed by similar suicides, he suggests that these were the real source of the story.
Spong's conclusion is that early Bible authors, after the First Jewish-Roman War, sought to distance themselves from Rome's enemies. They augmented the Gospels with a story of a disciple, personified in Judas as the Jewish state, who either betrayed or handed over Jesus to his Roman crucifiers. Spong identifies this augmentation with the origin of modern Anti-Semitism.

There have been many films with Liverpool connections from at least the 1920s to the present day. The movies range from low budget projects through to major undertakings with Hollywood actors. You will see some common themes here that fit in with England's distorted view of it's 3rd city.

Isley Brothers - Behind A Painted Smile

Funny,but,True..for, Most People?..the, 'Mask',or,'Persona?'...
is,unreal..the 'Painted Smile'...

Clown face with derby (1970) by Waldemar Swierzy became a postage stamp in 1992 and Mona Lisa (1970) by Maciej Urbaniec in 2002. This tribute to the popularity of these posters and their artists also recognizes the significance of the CYRK genre as the most highly-acclaimed and recognized posters of the golden age of the Polish School of Poster (1945-1989). (During this era, more than 300 different CYRK posters by more than 75 artists had been commissioned by the Polish government.)
Waldemar Swierzy (b.1931), with more than 2,500 posters, is also one of Poland's most prominent posterists. His varied style is innovative and he constantly tries unusual concepts, of which Clown face with derby (1970) is a prime example.

Maciej Urbaniec (1925-2004) is another leading artist of the Polish School of Posters. His style, as seen in Mona Lisa, conveys simple & powerful messages through an ingenious humorous methodology with artistic metaphors.

Philately, will, get, You, nowhere!

The phil- at the beginning of philatelist gives you a hint as to its meaning: it means "love" — a Francophile is a person who loves France. The Greek ateleia meant "exemption from payment," an exemption that was marked by a stamp. So a philatelist is literally a person who "loves stamps."..

What's My Favourite Beer?

In,the Year ,2000, I,went,to Munich,Germany,for,the 'Oktoberfest'.
At,that,time,My, German Language,skill,was, non-existent.
However,Munchen,blew,My, mind,and,I,discovered,that,Language,is,unimportant,when,People,
get,together,in,an,environment,where,They have,the same,interest.
The Germans,have,a word,for,this..it,is, 'Gemutlikeit' ..
The English Translation,is,imprecise,roughly,'A, feeling, of, 'One-ness', with,Your, fellow,Man'.
But,the important,word, is,'Feeling'.
German ,Beer, is,without,doubt, the best,in,the World,but,Bavarians, from,Munchen,somehow,think,
They,are,not, 'German'.They,associate,'German', with, 'North',and,of,course,They,are,'South'.
This,'Bayerische',attitude,is,like,a kind,of,joke,with,Them,They,see,Themselves, as,'Bohemian'..
'Liberal minded', and,'Avant-Garde'.
Of,course, to,an,'Auslander', like,Me..there,is,no distinction.German,is,German.
I,once,asked, a Bavarian,what,He,thought,of,mass-produced,Beer, like,'Becks', or,
'Holsten-Pils',both,of,which,We, have,available,here,in,Liverpool.
He, replied, that,it,was, Ok,for,washing,Your,feet,in,but,not,to drink....
I,was,somewhat,taken aback, by,this,having,always,believed,that,the 'Rheinheitsgeboten',
or,'Purity',Laws,
applied, to,all, German Beer.
The 'Becks', We,get,in,England, is, actually,brewed,under,Licence, in,the UK,so,
maybe, the Bavarian, was, correct?.
But, it,is,also,possible, to,buy,Bavarian,'Lowenbrau',Beer, etc, that, is, the genuine,article,and,
there,are,many,Pubs, in,Liverpool, that,stock,this, and,'Paulaner', 'Bitburger', etc...
So,what's,My, favourite,Beer?..the one,You, Buy,Me, of,course!,You.. idiot!Hahah!

Liverpool Oktoberfest 2015

George Harrison - Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) - Lyrics

“And so, onwards... along a path of wisdom, with a hearty tread, a hearty confidence.. however you may be, be your own source of experience. Throw off your discontent about your nature. Forgive yourself your own self. You have it in your power to merge everything you have lived through- false starts, errors, delusions, passions, your loves and your hopes- into your goal, with nothing left over.” 
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human

OK,let's start,again..

Ok,I ,keep,saying, 'It's over',and,delete,the Blog, only, to, re -start, it,again,a couple of,weeks,later.

But,that's,just,Me, being, daft.The truth,is,I'm ,bored,out,of,My, mind.

This, Blogging,seems,to,be, My, only,source, of, amusement,lately. I'm,out,driving,a settle Cab,six,nights,a week, and, Sunday,My, day,off,passes, so,fast, it's,like,it,never,happened.

I,hardly,drink,anymore,just,a couple,of,beers,on,the Sunday,and, I,no longer, go,to the Pub,which, is,

something,I, did,for,Years. I, feel,like,I'm ,static,and,the World,is,spinning,around,Me.

I'm,still,smoking,small cigars,way,too many, and,I,know,sooner, or,later,I'll,pay, the price.I,have,hemorrhoids,

and,several,false teeth,and,My, hair,has,turned,Silver.I,look,at,old,Photo's, and,it's,like,looking,at, a stranger.

My,kids,are,both,working,and,although,My,Daughter,lives,here,with,Us,

We,hardly,ever,see,Her,She's,like,here,one,minute,gone,the next.

My, Son,has,His,own,House,some,miles,away,and,rarely,visits, or,phones,and, My, wife, works,all,day,in,an,office,and,is,so tired,when,She,gets,Home,She,just,gets,into,Her,Jammie's,and,flops,out,on,the couch.

We,get,about,30 minutes,together,then,I'm,out,in,the Cab,until,the small,hours.You,see,a 'Settle' Cab, is,a rental Cab,and,in,a City,of,high,unemployment, I, have,to pay,some Guy, to,go to work..get,the 'settle', or,rental,in,in,advance, week,after,mind, numbing week.

But,I'm,not,complaining,I,make,a living.I,get,to take,unpaid,Vacations,any,time,I,want,but,the only,real,Vacation,is,usually,after,the madness,of,the Christmas/New Year,season, a time,that,any,Cabdriver,will,tell,You, is,the most ,stressful,of,all.

We,like,going,on,Cruises,to places,I,could,only,dream of,when,I,was, a child..I,never,went,on,a foreign,Holiday,or,an,Aeroplane,until,I,was 30 years,old.

I ,quite,fancy,going,to Vietnam,this,January,on,a Cruise..so,I'm,looking,at,Travel Agents,on line,all,the time,

and,then,I,keep,coming,back,to this,Blog.

So,I'm,not,deleting,anything,I'm,going,to,try,and,start,it,again,and,make,it,about,Me..

I,am,not,Academically-minded,but,I,know,

little,bits, of,everything,and,nothing,about,anything..I'm,a good,Guy, to,have,on,Your,Quiz,Team..
