New Year
Now Playing: Cecilia Bartoli - Opera Proibita
Topic: Mysteries of Life
Happy early new years, the year of the Dog begins on January 29, 2006. I'd mention the Aztec day but there are x's in it and it's in three parts and just confusing. As I see another New Year's celebration go off without a hitch it seems to me that the islamists who had declared war on the US and western culture in general haven't made a peep in quite some time. A perfect time to try to strike fear in the hearts and minds of a civilian population to further their twisted evil plans of an islamic future dictatoriship world would be New Year's eve. All those parties, all those soft targets. It really would only take a suicide bomber in Australia at some public celebration and another one in another western nation to send the parties around the world ducking for cover. The fact that Osama and his ilk haven't done so would mean that they are pretty darn weak and unable to. Good news and a good sign that the capacity for evil by such cowards isn't as great as we have feared. So a good start to the new year.


Been happily listening to Cecilia Bartoli - Opera Proibita. A beautiful woman and a beautiful voice and highly recommended. Also listening to another find, Madredeus- a Portuguese chamber-pop/fado group with Teresa Salgueiro as the singer. Amazingly beautiful. Sings in portuguese and I don't understand a word. But like the Italian of Cecilia Bartoli, it's not necessary to understand the words to enjoy the incredible and beautiful voices.
