NEW YORK—Veteran Swedish pop group Abba was to share the limelight Monday
in New York with punk band the Stooges and reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, Genesis
and The Hollies in joining the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I ´m actually reading a book - can you believe it? It ´s Joanne Fedler ´s Secret Mothers ´ Business... It ´s quite interesting, and for me, really the right thing at this moment - recommended to all mothers who have ever felt the pressure of it being the most difficult job on the planet (and felt a bit frustrated, depressed, over-worked, but still so much "in love" with their children...) Now you see why I chose this flower - it has pricky and resistant leaves, but a beautiful, unusually blue flower!!!
Btw, here ´s an interesting thing I wanted to share with you. This is a video clip for a song by Gibonni (one of my favourite Croatian artists ever)....
Why have I posted it here? Because, and this is the interesting fact:
1. when I was marrying my husband(he was actually just coming over to pick me up and take me to church when the song started playing on the radio), this man ´s beautiful song "Ja ću budan sanjati" (I ´ll be dreaming awake) was playing on the radio, and it ´s one of our favourite songs as a couple.
2. while I was giving birth to my son (7 years ago), the hospital radio was playing the premiere of Gibonni ´s newest album then (Mirakul - Miracle) which is where this clip is from...
3. while my husband and I were having second thoughts about having the second child, whether we were ready or not etc., Gibonni had his new album Unca Fibre which was a bit darker, more meditative and addressed some of the feelings we weren ´t even aware we had, and sort of helped us relax and decide...
4. now that I ´m having my second baby(in about 3 weeks), my husband gave me Gibonni ´s latest cd for my birthday.... and guess which music is already in my cell phone to take with me to the hospital???)
Have you ever had such a string of coincidences(???) in your life?
Hi everybody! Lovely flowers, photos, pics... Anita--Lovely video, My God, I must admit I ´ve never had so many coincidences! Mariethe---Thanks for the pint!! The Cherry Tree
Hiiiii ! dear friends, it has been quite a while, how are you guys? Mirelli, Anaisabel, Lana, JulietaVL, Mariethe, Anita, Maggie, Darryl and all others in the cafe.
Habría que bailar ese danzón que tocan en el cabaret de abajo, dejar mi cuarto encerrado y bajar a bailar entre borrachos. Uno es un tonto en una cama acostado, sin mujer, aburrido, pensando, sólo pensando. No tengo "hambre de amor", pero no quiero pasar todas las noches embrocado mirándome los brazos, o, apagada la luz, trazando líneas con la luz del cigarro. Leer, o recordar, o sentirme tufos de literato, o esperar algo. Habría que bajar a una calle desierta y con las manos en la bolsas, despacio, caminar con mis pies e irles diciendo: uno, dos, tres, cuatro... Este cielo de México es oscuro, lleno de gatos, con estrellas miedosas y con el aire apretado. (Anoche, sin embargo, había llovido y era fresco, amoroso, delgado.) Hoy habría que pasármela llorando en una acera húmeda, al pie de un árbol, o esperar un tranvía escandaloso para gritar con fuerzas, bien alto. Si yo tuviera un perro podría acariciarlo. Si yo tuviera un hijo le enseñaría mi retrato o le diría un cuento que no dijera nada, pero que fuera largo. Yo ya no quiero, no, yo ya no quiero seguir todas las noches vigilando cuándo voy a dormirme, cuándo. Yo lo que quiero es que pase algo, que me muera de veras o que de veras esté fastidiado, o cuando menos que se caiga el techo de mi casa un rato.
La jaula que me cuente sus amores con el canario. La pobre luna, a la que todavía le cantan los gitanos, y la dulce luna de mi armario, que me digan algo, que me hablen en metáforas, como dicen que hablan, este vino es amargo, bajo la lengua tengo un escarabajo.
¡Qué bueno que se quedara mi cuarto toda la noche solo, hecho un tonto, mirando!
Yo estoy en la acera enfrente mirandote y diciendo:
" holà, amiga Julietita ... aqui.... dame tu mano y vamonos juntas a ver las estrellas centelleante en el cielo de la vida nuestra ... vamonos a bailar con los borrachos olvidando el grito pelado de nuestro corazon grande."
un gran abrazo para ti, niña bonita! y para la otra dama Anaisabel!
