I Luv to Sing With The Beatles


At about 11p as the party seems to dwindle down everyone gets fired up when the Wii Rock Band comes out. The Beatles Rock Band on Wii lets everyone sing some of their best tunes. Although not a professional singer myself, you can usually see me really let lose on a drive in my car or at home on Rock Band. There's nothing like singing lyrics that move and excite you. For me it's a matter of being transported somewhere else and feeling the thrill of jamming to music. Everyone does it, even if they can't carry a tune. I'm guilty of trying to hit some high notes myself, but for the most part I do pretty well. Twist and Shout always rips my throat apart, I don't know how John Lennon hit those high notes, but I am glad he did.

Well, may I have your comment about the work?’ ‘It’s a very interesting Sci-Fi story. Future children are looking toward the space. So I, myself, think about making Sci Fi, too.  If you have time, visit me in Burbank.’  (by Tezuka Osamu) Li

Poet and novelist  May Sarton  on letting go: "I think of the trees and how simply they let go, let fall the riches of a season, how without grief (it seems) they can let go and go deep into their roots for renewal and sleep...  Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long, not even pain, psychic pain. Sit it out. Let it all pass. Let it go."
