A long time ago ....

Once upon a time, a guy created this page (ohhhhh it's me :) )

I'm so busy in my work and with the sport that i don't have the courage to come here to say hello to people and listen good music.
but now let's say stop to the overload time of work !!!

I really missed the shows the great people here.
Hope to chat with everybody soon. (I already started tonight)

Celtic Music: Flook - New Lens on Squidoo

Listening to LiveIreland has gotten me back in touch with some of the music I'd listened to over the years. My listening gave met the idea to put up a Squidoo lens (actually a web page, but since the pages are meant to focus in on a topic, the Squidoo people call a page a lens) for Altan, which I posted yesterday.

For my second lens, I decided to feature one of my new discoveries resulting from listening to LI, so now there's a… Continue

WWF & Elephants hunts - Pls spread the word about them Sunday, 5:20 AM

Elephants

The WWF believes that culling—another way of saying “killing”—elephants is acceptable, as is the trade in ivory, because the profits that it brings spur governments to keep elephants from going extinct. In 2000, U.S. News & World Report reported that WWF representatives traveled to Nairobi to ask the United Nations to lift the ban on the ivory trade in order to allow a “sustainable harvest… Continue

Playing music again

I have gotten back into play my violin again, slow going but still. I have been looking for free sheet music online for Irish music and other items. I lost a lot of my music because of my dad loosing the house I grew up in so I'm trying to rebuild my collection.

My Place

Well, here i am.

A place to put my ideas, to try my English...

Not that i have a good English.

Not at all.

Well, about ideas.

What kind of ideas i have?

Sometimes i'm a jerk. Sometimes i'm crazy, mad, whatever...

Sometimes i'm quite normal...

Sometimes i'm god, sometimes i'm devil.

Sometimes i'm nothing.

I'm 34, i have wife and children, i love rock'n'roll...

I dream of a life i can't reach.

I make choices i can't… Continue

Unknown Path / Anaithnid Ruthag

Sometimes on the path of life we come to a point that we can not reverse. Called the point of no return... We hesitate to go forward, with afraid to take a step forward, when faced with the unknown. But, from that called point of no return, we can no longer go back. Stop it is impossible... Then, we can only move forward... Even if it is to enter in a world that until then, we were unaware of the… Continue

Judge Tenderly Of Me...........

THIS is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me,-
That simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.

Her message is committed To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me !

EASTER 2008

HAPPY EASTER

Easter is the commemoration of Jesus' resurrection, universally celebrated by Christians around the world. Although how and even when Easter is celebrated varies greatly.

Both Western Churches (Roman Catholic and Protestant) and Eastern Churches (Greek and Russian Orthodox) celebrate Easter on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox.

There are as many as five weeks between the two Easter celebrations. In the Western… Continue

The Essence of Music. PT.1

I've been involved in music all my life. My father played the push button accordion, the Jews Harp, the mouth organ, the six string acoustic guitar with a steel slide as well as yodeled and sang. My Mother, as a child, won awards for her tap dancing, sang, played the piano, took part in small plays and always assisted back stage in small functions. So no wonder I had a love of music. I remember we used to sit around the piano on Friday nights, playing and singing all the old songs for example "… Continue

How I Lost 100 lbs. Part 2

Hi! I'm Redhead Mama, Chief Mom of Operations of Bookieboo. I'm so honored to be able to share my experiences with everyone of how I lost weight and how I am continuing to stay on track.

My second piece of advice is this:

Create Mini-Milestones

If you have a large goal like I did, don't think about it in it's entirety. (This is very important!) The best thing to do is break it up into smaller goals. I call them… Continue

How I Lost 100 lbs. Part I

Hi! I'm Redhead Mama, Publisher of Bookieboo.

When people find out how much weight I've lost, especially if they did not know me when I was heavier, they look at me in amazement like I've done something impossible. My weight loss and new lifestyle have nothing to do with super human strength. I'm an ordinary stay-at-home mom with a very active toddler boy, whom I named the site after. Everything I did and continue to do is with the… Continue

I'm still around...a little teary, but here

#2 Son left this morning for basic training (Air National Guard)--the first chick out of the nest (three others still at home) and I'm drooping a bit. I know he'll be okay, I know he'll be back--not till November, in time for the holiday season--and I know he's not likely to be called into active duty, but I've never said goodbye to one of the kids for longer than 11 days before and even then I could call them.

And yet...this is the way it's supposed to be and it's not as bad as all those… Continue
