How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
Oscar Wilde

If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.
Margaret Thatcher

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.
Jim Carrey

My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.
George Washington

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
Anais Nin

No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed.
Godfrey Winn

Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.
Mahatma Gandhi

How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
Anais Nin

I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.
Oprah Winfrey

After all those years as a woman hearing 'not thin enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough, not this enough, not that enough,' almost overnight I woke up one morning and thought, 'I'm enough.'
Anna Quindlen

I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.
Maya Angelou

Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades. A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude, and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful.
Jacqueline Bisset

I always incouraged him 2 hold fast 2 his dreams

today he is a comedian
yes he still has a reg job but he is doing what he loves and his dream came true

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
T. E. Lawrence

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
Harriet Tubman

Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.
James Dean

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
Anatole France

The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.
Robert Kiyosaki

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
John Quincy Adams

There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?
Robert Kennedy

The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.
William Shakespeare

Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.
Michael Jackson

For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh

Life is a song - sing it.
Life is a game - play it.
Life is a challenge - meet it.
Life is a dream - realize it.
Life is a sacrifice - offer it.
Life is love - enjoy it.
Sai Baba

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
William James

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.
John F. Kennedy

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.
George Washington Carver

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.
Harvey Fierstein

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
John Burroughs

The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters.
Audrey Hepburn

If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
Bruce Lee

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.
Friedrich Nietzsche

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not,so when I came to die, discover if I had lived.
Henry David Thoreau

Everyone dies. Not everyone really lives.

mardi gras was big fun loved it my almost 8 years there

Tuesday is fat Tuesday the day before the start of lent

the parades thru out the area start 2 weeks before some times 2 in a day or nite
somewhat like a thanksgiving parade or Christmas 1 but
with Throws often including doubloons, beads, cups, homemade trinkets, toys and more

here is a bit
a taste of mardi gras n new Orleans ;





I've been all over the world. I love New York, I love Paris, San Francisco, so many places. But there's no place like New Orleans. It's got the best food. It's got the best music. It's got the best people. It's got the most fun stuff to do.
Harry Connick, Jr.

I spent so many summers and New Years and fun times in New Orleans. It was always a place where I felt I could go and actually let go and enjoy the spirit of something.
Sandra Bullock

In America, there might be better gastronomic destinations than New Orleans, but there is no place more uniquely wonderful.
Anthony Bourdain

My food is Louisiana, New Orleans-based, well-seasoned, rustic. I think it's pretty unique because of my background being influenced by my mom, Portuguese and French Canadian. There's a lot going on there.
You know, for 300 years it's been kind of the same. There are restaurants in New Orleans that the menu hasn't changed in 125 years, so how is one going to change or evolve the food?
Emeril Lagasse

In America, I would say New York and New Orleans are the two most interesting food towns. In New Orleans, they don't have a bad deli. There's no mediocrity accepted.
Mario Batali

I've lived in N.Y. and L.A. for many years, but I still gravitate to New Orleans - it's so unique and so European. There's nothing else like it in the country. It has its own music, its own food, its own style and its own way of life.
Bryan Batt

New Orleans, more than many places I know, actually tangibly lives its culture. It's not just a residual of life; it's a part of life. Music is at every major milestone of our life: birth, marriage, death. It's our culture.
Wendell Pierce

You should celebrate the end of a love affair as they celebrate death in New Orleans, with songs, laughter, dancing and a lot of wine.
Francoise Sagan

as the month of love comes 2 a close;

A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure. Charlie Chaplin (sounds like me)

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
Oscar Wilde

Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.
Marilyn Monroe

I believe this 2 be true the 1 u love must be ur best friend

ive got use 2 being alone not because that is what I want but it is as t.w.l would say til i feel its right (in so many words)

Too many people throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that. Julie Delpy

Romance is thinking about someone, when you are supposed to be thinking about something else. Nicholas Sparks

Lust is temporary, romance can be nice, but love is the most important thing of all. Because without love, lust and romance will always be short-lived.
Danielle Steel

I think it's wonderful when a love story begins with a great deal of romance and affection, passion and excitement, that's how it should be. But I don't necessarily know that it's the wisest thing in the world to expect that it ends there, or that it should, 30 years down the road, u still should look as it did on the night of your first kiss. Elizabeth Gilbert

so my thoughts
find the right 1 n be crazy about them i know easier said than done
but when u do u kinda know n u have 2 let go
yes we have all been hurt
but we have also looked back n life n said
I really cared for that person
n I did not do my best
with the right 1 u will smile when u think of them
u will smile when ur close 2 them or hear their voice
that's pure from our hearts

just my thoughts of the day

i live for her

I am living for her since, you know,
I have met her for the first time
I don't remember how but
she slipped inside of me and she remained there
I am living for her because she makes
my soul vibrate strongly
I am living for her and it is not a burden.

I am living for her too, you know
and don't be gelous
she is from all those who
always have a burning desire
as a stereo inside a room
of someone who is all alone and now knows
what is a * for him, that is why

I am living for her
She is a muse that invites us
thrill her with our fingers
through a piano
death is far away
I am living for her
I am living for her as she often knows
(how to) be sweet and sensual
sometimes she gives your head a hit
and a fist that never hurts
I am living for her I know she makes me
travel from town to town
suffer a little but at least I live

It is painfull when she leaves
I am living for her in hotels
With extreme pleasure it grows (reffering to pain)
I am living for her in the whirl
Through my voice
it spreads and produces love

I am living for her and I have nothing else
and how many others will I meet
that have on their faces written
I am living for her

I am living for her
upon a stage or against a wall
I am living for her on the edges
even on a tough tomorrow
I am living for her at the margin
Every day
(is) a conquest
the protagonist
will always be her
I am living for her because from now on
I have no other escape road
because music you know
indeed has never betrayed me
I am living for her because she gives me
pauses and sounds in freedom
If another life I lived
I'd be living it for her

I am living for her, the music
I am living for her
I am living for her she is the only one
I am living for her

feb. is also Holocaust Memorial. month

when I was growing up there were no cell phones, microwaves, air conditioning computers etc
my grandfather n grandmother (nona)
raised me n my brother
he was a mason n did tombstones but mostly a farmer
he never slept
must be where I got it from
he would be at the farmers market at 5 am to sell things from the farm then go 2 work
heck he even made wine

I came across this story that touched my heart ;

One day, a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”

“It was great, Dad.”

“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.

“Oh yeah,” said the son.

“So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered, “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden, and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden, and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard, and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on, and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them.”

The boy’s father was speechless.

Then his son added, “Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are.”

a bit of Italian culture ;

Life is too short, and I'm Italian. I'd much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0.
Sophia Bush

I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night.
Lady Gaga

Italian culture is so deeply soaked in an appreciation of the good things in life.
Mariska Hargitay

I love places that have an incredible history. I love the Italian way of life. I love the food. I love the people. I love the attitudes of Italians.
Elton John

this is so true ;

I consider a good dinner party at our house to be where people drink and eat more than they're meant to. My husband is a really fantastic cook. His mother is Italian and if you walk into our house, we assume you're starving. Elizabeth Gilbert

Good food and a warm kitchen are what makes a house a home. I always tried to make my home like my mother's, because Mom was magnificent at stretching a buck when it came to decorating and food. Like a true Italian, she valued beautification in every area of her life, and I try to do the same.
Rachael Ray

We were raised in an Italian-American household, although we didn't speak Italian in the house. We were very proud of being Italian, and had Italian music, ate Italian food.
Francis Ford Coppola

that was the same for me growing up my grandfather wanted us 2
be the best we could in America so we were 2 only speak English in the house
but let him get upset
lets just say I learnt the Italian cuss words early

my grandfather came over in 1903 from como italy

so this guy became blind at age 12



here is the translation;

When I’m alone
I dream on the horizon
and words fail;
yes, I know there is no light
in a room where the sun is absent,
if you are not with me, with me.
At the windows
show everyone my heart
which you set alight;
enclose within me
the light you
encountered on the street.

Time to say goodbye
to countries I never
saw and shared with you,
now, yes, I shall experience them.
I’ll go with you
on ships across seas
which, I know,
no, no, exist no longer.
It’s time to say goodbye…

When you are far away
I dream on the horizon
And words fail,
and, Yes, I know
that you are with me;
you, my moon, are here with me,
my sun, you are here with me,
with me, with me, with me.

Time to say goodbye
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
now, yes, I shall experience them.
I’ll go with you
On ships across seas
which, I know,
no, no, exist no longer,

with you I shall experience them again.
I’ll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
with you I shall experience them again.
I’ll go with you,
I with you.

The Word Fuck

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language today is the word "fuck". It is the one magical word which, just by its sound, can describe pain, pleasure, love, and hate.

In language, "fuck" falls into many grammatical categories.

It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was fucked by John).
It can be an action verb (John really gives a fuck), a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a fuck), an adverb (Mary is fucking interested in John), or as a noun (Mary is a terrific fuck).
It can also be used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful) or an interjection (Fuck! I'm late for my date with Mary).
It can even be used as a conjunction (Mary is easy, fuck she's also stupid).
As you can see, there are very few words with the overall versatility of the word "fuck". Aside from its sexual connotations, this incredible word can be used to describe many situations...

Greetings "How the fuck are ya?"

Fraud "I got fucked by the car dealer."

Resignation "Oh, fuck it!"

Trouble "I guess I'm fucked now."

Aggression "FUCK YOU!"

Disgust "Fuck me."

Confusion "What the fuck.......?"

Difficulty "I don't understand this fucking business!"

Despair "Fucked again..."

Pleasure "I fucking couldn't be happier."

Displeasure "What the fuck is going on here?"

Lost "Where the fuck are we."

Disbelief "UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE!"

Retaliation "Up your fucking ass!"

Denial "I didn't fucking do it."

Perplexity "I know fuck all about it."

Apathy "Who really gives a fuck, anyhow?"

Greetings "How the fuck are ya?"

Suspicion "Who the fuck are you?"

Panic "Let's get the fuck out of here."

Directions "Fuck off."

Disbelief "How the fuck did you do that?"

It can be used in an anatomical description- "He's a fucking asshole."

It can be used to tell time- "It's five fucking thirty."

It can be used in business- "How did I wind up with this fucking job?"

It can be maternal- "Mother fucker."

It can be political- "Fuck Dan Quayle!"

It has also been used by many notable people throughout history...

"What the fuck was that?"
- Mayor of Hiroshima

"Where the fuck is all this water coming from?"
- Captain of the Titanic

"That's not a real fucking gun."
- John Lennon

"Who's gonna fucking find out?"
- Richard Nixon

"Heads are going to fucking roll."
- Anne Boleyn

"Let the fucking woman drive."
- Commander of Space Shuttle

"What fucking map?"
- "Challenger," Mark Thatcher

"Any fucking idiot could understand that."
- Albert Einstein

"It does so fucking look like her!"
- Picasso

"How the fuck did you work that out?"
- Pythagoras

"You want what on the fucking ceiling?"
- Michaelangelo

"Fuck a duck."
- Walt Disney

"Why?- Because its fucking there!"
- Edmund Hilary

"I don't suppose its gonna fucking rain?"
- Joan of Arc

"Scattered fucking showers my ass."
- Noah

"I need this parade like I need a fucking hole in my head."
- John F. Kennedy

when I use 2 write songs I just did the words
this is by a german band
Xandria is a German symphonic metal band, founded by Marco Heubaum in 1994. The band's music combines elements of symphonic metal with light electronic elements.
n that is a key I believe 2 great music
combining elements
I know some of my music videos are out there
but I try 2 combine music n art


here are the words 2 the song

We have come a long way
Through rain and the dust of time
Times full of wonders
Full of secret signs

We have seen the winters
And the sunlight's brightest shine
But not every single moment
Can stand the test of time

The song now has ended
And the last notes fade away
But a new one begins
The music will stay

Now it's time for the future
We left our past behind
All the battles are over
But the dream is still alive

Smoke has been rising
Now it's blown away by the wind
It's all getting clearer
I wonder where I've been

A past destined to fall down
The final brick in the wall
Was so hard for me to see
But now I see it all

Now it's time for the future
We left our past behind
All the battles are over
But the dream is still alive

No-one can take it away from me
No day will ever let it end

Now it's time for the future
We left our past behind
All the battles are over
But the dream is still alive

Now we see our tomorrow
The night is long ago
All the fighting is over
But the dream is still alive

We're sometimes so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about.
Life in its self is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.
Joseph Campbell

well up at 4 am
my usual 4 0r so hours sleep
I might be part vampire
I do love 2 kiss a girls neck
n nebble behind the ear a bit
but my love of garlic prob. makes it impossible

when we look at stars we think sometimes
they had it easy but its not all about money or luck

As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition too.

n u get through those things

Life's pretty good, and why wouldn't it be? I'm a pirate, after all.

If there's any message to my work, it is ultimately that it's OK to be different, that it's good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color.

I'm shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I've done everything I can to avoid it.

If you catch me saying 'I am a serious actor,' I beg you to slap me.
