You'll be in my heart

Today's thoughts are inspired by Phill Collins a great song writer and quite an interesting person, I am quite impressed with his Littledreams Foundation, great to see it when someone can plough back some of his time and talent like he does. Tonight I watched CSI, very sad episode where the one cop has his adopded daughter come back and mess things up, made me realise how lucky I am to have two wonderful kids that are a real blessing. The song is for them as well.
You'll be in my heart - Phill Collins
Come stop your crying, it will be all right
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here don’t you cry

For one so small, you seem so strong
My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm
This bond between us can’t be broken
I will be here don’t you cry
And you’ll be in my heart
Yes, you’ll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You’ll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You’ll be here in my heart
Always

Why can’t they understand the way we feel
They just don’t trust what they can’t explain
I know we’re different but deep inside us
We’re not that different at all

And you’ll be in my heart
Yes, you’ll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You’ll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You’ll be here in my heart
Always

Don’t listen to them, cause what do they know
We need each other, to have and to hold
They’ll see in time, I know
When destiny calls you, you must be strong
I may not be with you, but you gotta hold on
They’ll see in time,
I know

We’ll show them together because...

You’ll be in my heart
I believe, you’ll be in my heart
I’ll be there from this day on
Now and forever more

You’ll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You’ll be here in my heart always

Always...
I’ll be with you
I’ll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I’ll be there always
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart." Helen Keller (1880 - 1968)

Man and his wicked ways

I'm disgusted! Got left at home Tuesday... Mr only walked in at 3am... all jolly and then fell asleep on the sofa! Even my dancing a jig on his face did not help... hope he mends his wicked ways and spends more time with me.

WOW what happened to Tuesday?

Eish! Next time I know better... Zambuca and me are not great friends... somehow a casual visit to N&R's place turned into a party of sorts... and Thuesday went down the tubes... and it was not phunny...
Still feeling poorly and not feeling up to much creativity tonight. Just need a moment of peace and the lyrics are the same:
Moment of peace - Masters of Chant - Heusmann / Heusmann / Brighteman
Come now, come by our side,
A place where you can hide
We are the sunshine,
Rest your Soul here
And you'll find
We are the energy
We give the world to thee
Hold up your heart now
We will ease pain from your brow

Refrain
When the world is in tatters
And destruction is near,
You can come with us here
When anger is shattered,
You'll rest here with me
In a moment of peace

Refrain

Light up the dark below,
See through the stars,
Reach to the earth's flow
Drift in the joy of our hearts,
Unleash the energy,
Taste of the wine
Drink as a Soul
That knows now,
power divine.

"Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons, that you cannot see with the naked eye unless you have been drinking." Dave Barry (1947 - ), "The Taming of the Screw"

Collywobbles

Milk is not for me... it has given me the collywobbles... My master hopes it clears up soon... or else I am banished! Like that is going to happen... Otherwise things are great, have a lot of toys to play with and Radio Oranje to listen to while master is at work as well as my water and Friskies.

Better late than never

I am cheating a bit, for some great recipes check out Cooking For Engineers! Beats my attempts hands down.
Feeling a bit lazy tonight and this is going to be a short one as I am recompiling some of the lost music...
Got my All my little words back and a few others as well... thanks Jewel. Peter Sarsted - Where do you go to my lovely, Mige Ure - If I was and quite a few others are now recovered... Going out with Blur and Tender:
Tender is the night
Lying by your side
Tender is the touch
Of someone that you love too much
Tender is the day
The demons go away
Lord I need to find
Someone who can heal my mind

Chorus
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Love’s the greatest thing
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Love’s the greatest thing
That we have
I’m waiting for that feeling
I’m waiting for that feeling
Waiting for that feeling to come

Oh my baby
Oh my baby
Oh whyOh my
X2

Tender is the ghost
The ghost I love the most
Hiding from the sun
Waiting for the night to come
Tender is my heart
For screwing up my life
Lord I need to find
Someone who can heal my mind

"Some prices are just too high, no matter how much you may want the prize. The one thing you can't trade for your heart's desire is your heart." Lois McMaster Bujold, "Memory", 1996

First evening

Hi, got taken home in a blue Mini! My new home is quite big, fresh sandbox and my own bowls of water milkies and friskies! Did some exploring and fell asleep on my new owners lap... Just hope he does not take pictures of all I do!

Spent most of the day with my son... we watched Tears of the Sun and The Vanished on DVD, both great movies. Went out for a burger lunch and had a great time together, he will be turning 21 this week. Time sure flies. Then went to collect Myoo... got to a darkened house and when I phoned got through to R in hospital, S took a dive on the whoops and bust his wrist... again! He sure has had a bad run of luck this year. Eventually got home with Myoo, she was so good in the car, a bit nervous but not hysterical like some kittens I have had. Seems to have settled down quite well so far... time will tell. Oh the title? Courtesy of Myoo of course!
Gentle music for cats tonight, Simon & Garfunkel, Gregorian, Vangelis so tonights lyrics reflect the theme of the time.
Sounds of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
"Cats regard people as warmblooded furniture." Jacquelyn Mitchard, The Deep End of the Ocean.

Lazydays... sad days

Some days are made to laze around... today I was in that mood... did nothing! Slept late and lazed about reading... I also think it is because I am thinking of 911, such a sad day in history.
Music is also sad today, Marc Anthony That's OK, Enigma Age of Loneliness, Simon Walsh Eat The Ashes, Michelle Marie Boys Club, Evanescence Imaginary, Tony Braxton Unbreak my heart. Interspersed with some lighter stuff like, Kosmonova Alya, Safri Duo Everything, The Shadows Dance on. Lyrics to suit are from Toni Childs.
Walk like the angels talk
You walk like the angels talk
Where are you from
You want to walk and talk like angels talk
Tell me then some

With a room by the sea
And a voice in the sand
Telling me your truth
And telling me your view
In how you see the world
Spinning, spinning round
And what is love and what is death
The fears you have to put to rest
And so you walk
Like angels talk

You want to walk and talk like the angels talk
This I hear
You want to walk and talk like the angels
Tell me then dear

With a smile in the sun
And a face in the sand
Sitting on a swing
Unfolding bits of string
The face is innocence
But the words are something more
It’s in the voice
It’s in the sound
It’s in the way the world is round
And so we walk
Like angels talk

You want to walk and talk like the angels talk
This I hear
You want to walk and talk like the angels
Tell me then dear
You see it’s easy running angels down
And I can’t help but shutter from the sound

It’s that small girl
Down by the sea
Found the angel in me
The words are such
I’ll always recall
As they faded into day
As they faded into day
As they faded into day
As they faded into day.

Also set up Myoo's page... Wonder how many kittens have a blog?
"Don't you wish there were a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence? There's one marked "Brightness", but it doesn't work." Gallagher

Myoo's home on te web

See the M on that cute face? Myoo is my kitten, she will soon be posting her view of the Blue Spot when she moves in on Sunday... Her name comes from various sources, µ is the mathematical symbol for the Greek letter M or Mu, pronounced "myoo", here is more on the meanings of Mu or Myoo... born 19/07/2004



Mu - taken from a Japanese tea ceremony scroll this calligraphy figure is the Chinese character Mu. Mu is a Zen koan. Mu is the nothingness that is the universe. Mu is the lack of self that is shared by all things. Mu unasks questions. In the hinge of the heyiya-if there is Mu. 無 µ M

1. (character) Mu - (Greek letter).
1. /micro/ prefix denoting division by 10^6, e.g. mu m (micrometre, a millionth part of a metre). Sometimes written as a 'u', the ASCII character nearest in appearance.
2. /myoo/ In the theory of functions, mu x . E denotes the least value of x for which E = x, i.e. the least fixed point of the function \ x . E. The recursive function mu f . H f satisfies (and is defined by) the equation
mu f . H f = H (mu f . H f)
An alternative notation for the same function is
fix H = H (fix H)
See fixed point combinator.
3. multiple value.
4. (networking) mu - The country code for Mauritius.
4. (philosophy) mu - /moo/ The correct answer to the classic trick question "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?". Assuming that you have no wife or you have never beaten your wife, the answer "yes" is wrong because it implies that you used to beat your wife and then stopped, but "no" is worse because it suggests that you have one and are still beating her. According to various Discordians and Douglas Hofstadter the correct answer is usually "mu", a Japanese word alleged to mean "Your question cannot be answered because it depends on incorrect assumptions".
Hackers tend to be sensitive to logical inadequacies in language, and many have adopted this suggestion with enthusiasm. The word "mu" is actually from Chinese, meaning "nothing"; it is used in mainstream Japanese in that sense, but native speakers do not recognise the Discordian question-denying use. It almost certainly derives from over generalisation of the answer in the following well-known Rinzei Zen teaching riddle:
A monk asked Joshu, "Does a dog have the Buddha nature?" Joshu retorted, "Mu!"
[Douglas Hofstadter, "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid"].

Lights on the water

Latest pics of Chucky, her kittens all seem to have found homes as well... Myoo is the one with an orange dot on her forehead above the tabby M marks.

Dining @ Primi Piati with friends

The Bloemfontein Waterfront @ night.

Had a great evening out at the waterfront tonight, pizza was perfect as was the company, I have always wanted to eat at Primi Piati but always seemed to end up at some other place. The atmosphere is also something diffrent from the norm, waiters dressed in overalls and the decor is like a factory... the best is that they make a thin base Pizza, as it should be made! Pretty cool website too...
Some diffrent lyrics tonight, with the lights across the water in mind and someone I miss... I was lucky to have come across this song recently.
The ghost of an unkissed kiss - TREMBLING BLUE STARS
The ghost of an unkissed kiss
A field of snow without footprints
It'll always be perfect, but we didn't get to live it

The lights that shone for us across the water
Through the misty dusk
It'll always be perfect, but we didn't get to live it

These lonely places were touched by love
Dust for the traces and they'll show up.
These are the words we'll pack away
These are the feelings that will stay.

Dry eyes, dry eyes
It was never going to end in dry eyes
We'll never know what we let go.

How do you push aside
Something that just feels so right
It'll always be perfect
But I didn't get to live it
We found what so many seek
But it was never ours to keep
It'll always be perfect, but we didn't get to live it

I know how unfair I've been on her,
that I could have made it easier
but I wanted her so bad, you see,
I just wouldn't stop at anything.

Wrong as it was to do,
those eyes were made to look into
it'll always be perfect, but we didn't get to live it.
So I would just do wrong until the ache became too strong
It'll always be perfect, but we didn't get to live it.
"A person has three choices in life. You can swim against the tide and get exhausted, or you can tread water and let the tide sweep you away, or you can swim with the tide, and let it take you where it wants you to go." Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Northern Lights, 1993
