To You:
That I was you, and you were me.
What has happened to us two,
Now I am me and you are you?"

Holger Czukay
I only knew the impressive, The Boat Woman Song, composed by this Free City of Danzing composer, founder of the German band Can and foremost figure of the KrautRock movement. Now, thanks to a double folded gift from my friend Craig, I have two albums: Holger Czukay - Movies, and, On the Way to the Peak of Normal CD. From my first hearing, I hear beautiful sounds, textures and a very special blend of electronica and acoustica. Craig, thaaanx a lot, am enjoying both while midnight approaches with its most desired child: sleep.Images: Amazon.

A One Wing Landing
This astounding video shows how an Israeli pilot lands his F-15 after losing a wing during a military exercise, a feat that, as the narrator says, shows how much punishment can be inflicted to this plane in the battlefield. Obviously, not all from the History Channel is crap.

Ghost Rider, back again
"Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes and Peter Fonda directed by Mark Steven Johnson filmed one of the most intense stories of the Marvel universe. Sadly, they got one of the worst from comic to movie efforts. Now it surfaces in a two DVD cut, specially offered to those who love to watch the worst films ever made".Translated from, Suplemento Weekend, Prensa Libre, 06/08/2007.

Jail no Hilton for Paris
"I did have a choice to go to a pay jail," Hilton said Sunday, without giving details. "But I declined because I feel like the media portrays me in a way that I'm not and that's why I wanted to go to county, to show that I can do it and I'm going to be treated like everyone else. I'm going to do the time, I'm going to do it the right way". Meanwhile, Madame Tussauds Museum dressed their Hilton manniquin like a toon con, with a black a white stripes suit. It will remain so until Paris leaves the jail facilities.Quotes: Inside Bay Area; Photo, Id.; Heading: World News Australia.

Cindy Sheehan leaves...
This is my resignation letter as the "face" of the American anti-war movement. This is not my "Checkers" moment, because I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system. This system forcefully resists being helped and eats up the people who try to help it. I am getting out before it totally consumes me or anymore people that I love and the rest of my resources. Good-bye America ...you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it.
It’s up to you now.
This entry recently published in Cindy's blog is moving and chilling. Read it and ponder, think, think twice and then do, positively do.

Fred's Last Dance
Phil Blissitt, according to the Anniston Star, bought a 4 months swine as a Christmas gift for his wife Rhonda in 2002. They never imagined that the cute pet would reach an staggering 1,051 pounds, 'nough to nickname it Hogzilla 2 (after another giant, killed in Oregon). But later, as they decided to get rid of all the hogs in their place, Fred (its real name) was sold to an Alaba farm, the Lost Creek Plantation (a hunting preserve), where the big circus like curiosity didn't survived even for
two days, since on past May 3, an 11 year old redneck boy, Jamison Stone, with his father, shot it to death with 12, .50 cal., handgun shots. Both hunters thought it was a feral animal, and chased it for 3 hours before the killing. Or so they said.Photo: Washington Post and AP Photo/The Anniston Star, Stephen Gross.
The Dragon speeds it's breath
According to this study of the Defense Department China is racing towards a better war technology in order, first, to prepare (si vis pacem, para bellum) war, both defensive and offensive, against the US; and second, against its own neighbours. The implications are chilling and, together with the recent succsesful launching of the newest Russian ICBM, the RS-24, it is obvious that the world foremost countries are, again, engulfed in a new kind of Cold War. If reincarnation were true, and we would come back here 100 years from now, no doubt we would watch, and worst, live future wars fought with better and more letal weapons. Meanwhile, I suggest you to visit this place, you'll find an excellent slide show prepared by the Navy in order to help the younger ones to join the Naval Air Force.Photo: Summer Palace, Beijing, National Geographic.
