Shame on All of You

Unknown's avatarFlora Fiction

It’s hard for humans to communicate. We spend all day talking to each other, but how often do you say what you’re really feeling? Either you spend your time thinking of various ways to express your emotions, or you don’t express them much at all. You put on a smile and nod, playing pretend in a superficial world where it not only matters how much better looking you are than others, but also how cool and smart you are. So, it all makes sense. When you point the finger at someone else, when you’re angry at the world for wronging you, when you ask yourself, Why don’t they like me? That you feel shame.

Shame is an incredibly painful and self-deprecating emotion.
Shame hurts so deep that for some, it goes unnoticed. The thing is, just
because you ignore an emotion, doesn’t mean it goes away. If you ignore shame,

Girls Just Want To Have Fun! – 30 Days 30 Songs

Sarah's avatarArt Expedition

On the 3rd day of my self-imposed new blog challenge –

Share Your Music! 30 Days 30 Songs

– I’m going to share with you one of the earliest songs that I can remember and that I still love so much!

Being born in the 80’s I’m aware that I’m somewhat biased, but really, you’ve got to admit – it was such a cool time!! 😉

And I meant it! Just think of the music, the movies, the fashion (okay, the last was a bit awkward at times, but quite a lot of fun too, wasn’t it? 😉 )… and the list could go on and on!

And when I first listenend to this song and watched the video clip I thought: “When I grow up, I want to be just like Cyndie Lauper!”

She’s one of many artists that truly shaped this decade…

A Kind Of Changing Sides – 30 Songs 30 Days

Sarah's avatarArt Expedition

On the 4th day of my new blog challenge –

Share Your Music! 30 Days 30 Songs

– I’m going to share with you a song, that caused me to actually steer away from a once clear path. 😉

It’s a question as old as time – or well, as old as these two bands anyway – whether you are a Beatles fan or a Stones fan?

I always thought I could answer this with a clear and loud “I’m a Beatles fan!” – and don’t get me wrong, I so absolutely am.

But when I heard this song for the first time – which was when I watched “Interview With The Vampire” starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst and Christian Slater – I was stupefied!

(I have to add that I absolutely loved this movie and could actually almost quote it line for line at one point, this…

Share Your Music! 30 Days – 30 Songs

Sarah's avatarArt Expedition

Yesterday I came up with an idea for a new blog challenge –

I want to share with you some of the music I absolutely love, and I’m going to do this for the whole month of June!!

So it’s going to be a song a day! 30 Days – 30 Songs!

If you’d like to join me, you can do this on any day you want, or also every day.

A pingback to my posts would be lovely, so that I can keep track of your favorite songs as well.

Today’s song is the Star Wars Main Theme – a real classic, composed by one of my favorite contemporary composers, John Williams.

It’s an inspiring piece of music and makes me dream of exploring outer space myself – and have a lovely chat with Yoda. 😉

I’m sure you know it well, even if you’re not a fangirl like…

Day 5 of my new blog challenge –

Share Your Music! 30 Days 30 Songs!

Please feel free to join me anytime you want! And if you do, it would be lovely if you would pingback to my post so that I can keep track of your favorite songs as well.
After letting The Stones go first yesterday, I of course have to share with you a Beatles song today.

As always, it’s actually impossible to choose which one I like best as they’re all brilliant in my mind. So I will settle with the one I heard first which happens to be one of my favourites as well.

When asked who’s my favorite Beatle the answer is much easier – it’s John Lennon. 🙂

Which Beatles song pops up into your head first? Is it your favorite? And who’s your favorite Beatle?

Share Your Music! 30 Days 30 Songs!

Please feel free to join me anytime you want! And if you do, it would be lovely if you would pingback to my post so that I can keep track of your favorite songs as well.

After sharing with you one of the Beatles songs that I love, and naming John Lennon as my favorite Beatle, it’s only logical to share with you one of my favorite songs written and performed by him during his solo career.

Please feel free to join me anytime you want! And if you do, it would be lovely if you would pingback to my post so that I can keep track of your favorite songs as well.
Today I’m going to ask you to dance with me! And when I think of dancing, I think of John Travolta!

And when I think of John Travolta almost a million dance scenes pop into my head!

So it’s only fair to share at least two with you here today!

The first one also happens to be from one of my favourite Tarantino movies “Pulp Fiction”. John Travolta and Uma Thurman are dancing to Chuck Berry’s “You Never Can Tell”:

The second dance scene comes from an equally awesome movie (Saturday Night Fever)  with even more awesome music by…

ist auch die afd in der video-falle?

geno's avatarcampogeno

wurde der afd die gleiche falle gestellt, wie fpö-chef heinz-christian strache? haben sich die naiven afd-vorstandsmitglieder dr. alice weidel und dr. alexander gauland im juli 2017 in einer villa auf mallorca mit einer chinesischen multimillionärin getroffen?

weidel und gauland sollen in einer feuchtfröhlichen laune der bildhübschen und reichen chinesin in aussicht gestellt haben, die hälfte der deutschen bild-zeitung kaufen zu können, um diese, noch vor der bundestagswahl, auf strikte afd-linie zu bringen? auch der noch nicht fertiggestellte berliner flughafen könnte zu einem spottpreis an chinesen verkauft werden, wenn diese die bauruine abreisen und dann den geplanten neubau in drei monaten fertigstellen? die reiche chinesin hat der afd auch wahlkampfhilfe in höhe von jährlich 500 millionen euro angeboten? weidel und gauland bieten als gegenleistung total überteuerte staatliche aufträge für chinesische unternehmen?
auf dem mehrstündigen video kann man sehen, wie weidel und gauland, frivol und total besoffen, mit der reichen chinesin…

Vive la France! D-Day, the donald, and the drop shot

Sheila Morris's avatarI'll Call It Like I See It

The French have it all this week: 75th. Anniversary of the Allied invasion in WWII that began on the beaches in Normandy on June 06, 1944 (commonly referred to as D-Day); an American president on the continent who truly can’t stop himself from revealing his ignorance of, oh well, just about every nasty thing he finds to tweet about on an hourly basis; and the final week of the 2019 Roland-Garros tennis tournament, the second Grand Slam event of the year which finds familiar names in the men’s semi-finals and fresh faces in the women’s semis.

I am swept along by the stirring images of the American cemetery in Normandy, the stories of the amazing four women ages 92 – 99 known as the Rosies who were not only the Riveters but also the draftswomen and/or anything else needed, these four women representing all the women who worked building the…
