Currently Listening To: 7 Things - Miley Cyrus

It seems nowadays if you don't fit into the ideal 'look' that media has created, than noone wants anything to do with you.

If you aren't tall, athletic, and beautiful than more than likely noone will even give you a second glance, but if you're beautiful and the ideal look that has been created by the media, than everyone wants to know you and be your friend.

What are the odds, that if I took down my photo and put up one of a thin, beautiful blonde I would probably end up with thousands of friend requests? I've been on this site for 24 hours and have 20 friends, 2-3 actual wwe fans, and the rest are superstars, and within an hour of my friend uploading her account, she had more than 200 friend requests.

If that doesn't prove that the media's perception of how people should look on society's perception of people, I don't know what does.

Uhh huh.  I had a feeling this would happen.

After a messy split in 2005, the three members of Blink-182 are back in communication, raising speculation that a reunion may be in the offing.

On his blog, group member Mark Hoppus says the recent death of Blink producer Jerry Finn and drummer Travis Barker's survival of a plane crash brought the men back in contact.

"We're just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking," he says. "It's a good thing. Obviously the first question for a lot of people will be, 'Does this mean a Blink-182 reunion?' The answer is none of us know. We haven't talked about it at all. Right now it's just good for the three of us to see one another, reconnect and let the past be the past."

Since Blink-182's split, Barker and Hoppus formed +44, while Tom DeLonge fronted Angels & Airwaves. The band's last show was Dec. 16, 2004, in Dublin; its career sales are more than 12.7 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Watch "Down" from Blink 182.  Their last single and video together.

There aren't many of the class of Summer 2007 still blogging here, more's the pity.

We used to have spats and reconciliations with other bloggers; now it's all skirmishes with vulgar trolls whose only interest is to destroy MyT.

Trolls of course have no opinions which they are prepared to debate, only the good old 'ready fire aim' garbage which they dig up from their cess-pits.

As for humour - that's now off-limits even among some older hands here. The Legal Eagle lost his rag at the weekend in a cloud of alcohol and can't seem to face us, except in the guise of a daring 'Anon' identity.

I shall be happy to continue my efforts to find amusement among public and private figures of all sexes and cross swords with some regular pains in the derrière here. And I hope others will return to join me.

The 2009 NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest takes place Thursday through Sunday, August 6-9, 2009 at the Hilton University Place hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina!

To the 14th Cartoon Art Trust Awards dinner in the Mall, sponsored by the Cartoon Museum. (Which apparently is the most successful small museum in the country, with 30,000 visitors a year. Pretty impressive.)

A great turnout, hosted as usual by the increasingly "relaxed" Kenneth Baker ex MP, and a fantastic meal with perfect service. 

Among others, awards went to our own Alex creators Charles Peattie and Russell Taylor for The Pont Prize for drawing 'The British Character'. Obviously apt in the current financial climate.

The Cartoon Art Trust Lifetime Achievement Award went to Raymond Briggs, creator of Fungus the Bogeyman and The Snowman. Books I grew up with and influenced me hugely. He was superbly grumpy, and demanded his award was brought forward in the proceedings so he could catch his last train home. Brilliant.

Our Nick Garland won the prestigious Saatchi Political Award, which was presented by old timer Ken Clarke, who must - I'm sorry - possess the largest stomach I've ever seen. 

Other awards were:

Young Cartoonist: Emilia Franklin

Pocket cartoonist: (unusually snatched from Matt...) Grizelda (who is very good.)

Strip cartoonist: Stephen Collins, who, from what I've seen, is a great upcoming talent at The Times.

Cheers to the Daily Mail, Times and Guardian who apparently had free adverts for Young Cartoonist of the Year. And and a big Booo to the Telegraph for not.

As usual on these occasions, cartoonists mingled post dinner, and moaned and grumbled about our lot, but ended up agreeing it could be worse. We could be working for a living. 

La mejor manera de poder describir y entender el amor, de nuestra vida..y los secreto de un porque.

Es volar mas alto delo que amas, delo que anhelas en forma eterea sin dejarte percivir, que solo elviento sea tu complice... Mirar aquien amas,mirar dentro se su alma,..y entender que navegaste en bandera hurtada..

Aun no tenga lo que ese amor Un silencio,dos miradas,tres palabras,cuatro susurros,cinco secretos,seis sonrisas,mil besos,un amor tu" descrubi que estube, descubri que deje huella, descubri hize algo en su vida..

talves preparar un camino?..para que ese quien ella ame lo sepa verdaderamente amar, con palabras, silencio, susurros, caricias y mil besos a ese su grande amor que espera..que esta vez sabra como verdaderamente amarle, con ese frenesi, con esa complicidad..siempre tan secreta que un dia lo anhele.. Sera feliz, talvez si el le es sincero como yo lo fui.. Mas sin embargo en mi corazon y pensamiento su lugar estara..

il amore di'll scorpione Jimmy

Today is the 96^th birthday of Otto von Habsburg, de jure Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary and heir to eight other kingdoms, as well as to the most imposing heritage in European history. The memories his extraordinary life has encompassed remind us how wafer-thin is the partition that separates us from the past.

Otto Habsburg is the eldest son of Austria's last emperor

There are photographs showing him as a small child in the company of his great-great-uncle, the Emperor Franz Josef. He has a keen recollection of the day, December 30, 1916, when he watched his father being crowned as King of Hungary in Budapest.

The four-year-old Otto, dressed in gold brocade trimmed with ermine and wearing a toque crested with egret's feathers, used his small fist to grip the finger of his guide, Count Wallis (many of the Austro-Hungarian nobility were of Irish extraction) as he was led into the cathedral. He watched, too, as his father, mounted on a white horse and with the Crown of St Stephen on his head, rode up to the summit of the Diszter, or coronation mound, in the cathedral square and brandished the sword of state to the four corners of his ancient kingdom. Fascinating illustrations and photographs of these ceremonies can be seen here.

These are not the average memories of a former MEP, which Otto later became, representing a Bavarian constituency. In the European parliament he is said to have struck Ian Paisley for shouting "Anti-Christ!" at Pope John Paul II. Otto's vision of a united Europe, however, was rather different from the sorry set-up in Brussels today.

He was the especial target of the Austrian-born Hitler's hatred; the Germans had a special military plan named "Operation Otto" for intervention in the event of his attempted restoration to the Austrian throne. Austrian Jews were among the strongest supporters of a Habsburg restoration, since they believed the dynasty would give the nation sufficient resolve to stand up to the Third Reich.

In Hungary the traitor Horthy obstructed a restoration, despite the monarchic sentiment of the country, and continued to usurp power as "Regent" after preventing Otto's father Charles from returning to the throne there in 1921. After the fall of communism, it was rumoured that Otto was offered, but refused, the Hungarian presidency. The first sign the regime was collapsing had come in a cinema in Budapest when a newsreel featuring European parliamentarians, thought innocuous by the censor, suddenly showed Otto, and the whole audience rose and sang the royal anthem.

On October 3, 2004 Otto had the gratification of seeing his father, the Emperor and King Charles I and IV, elevated to a higher crown when he was beatified by John Paul II as the Blessed Charles of Austria. It is to be hoped Otto lives to see his canonisation. Ad multos annos. This man is living history. Hoch Habsburg!

Si tú te encuentras enamorado de una persona que no esta enamorada de ti... no te reproches a ti mismo.

No hay nada de malo contigo, sino que el amor no eligió descansar en el corazón de la otra persona.

Si encuentras a alguien que esta enamorado de ti, y tu no lo amas, siéntete honrado de que al amor vino y toco a su puerta, pero dulcemente rechaza el regalo que no puedes devolver.

Si tú te enamoras de alguien, y esta persona se enamora de ti también, y el amor elige irse, no intentes reclamarlo o culparlo.

Déjalo ir. Hay una razón y un significado. Tú lo sabrás a su tiempo.

Recuerda que tú no eliges al amor.

EL AMOR TE ELIGE A TI.

Todo lo que puedes hacer realmente es aceptarlo, por todo su misterio, cuando entra a tu vida. Siente como el te llena hasta derramarse, y entonces encuentra la manera de compartirlo.

Dalo a la persona que lo hizo nacer en tu vida.

Dalo a otros que sean pobres de espíritu.

Dalo al rededor del mundo en todas las formas que puedas.

Es entonces que muchos que aman cometen un error, porque habiendo estado mucho tiempo sin amar, ellos entienden el amor como únicamente una necesidad.

Ellos ven sus corazones como un lugar vacío que necesita ser llenado con el amor, y ellos empiezan a ver el amor como si fuera algo que fluye para ellos en lugar de fluir desde ellos.

Acuérdate de eso, y mantenlo en tu corazón: el amor tiene su propio tiempo, sus propias estaciones, y sus propias razones para ir y venir.

Tú no lo puedes sobornar, coaccionar, motivar o insistir para que se quede. Tú solo puedes abrazarlo cuando el llega, y repartirlo con los otros cuando el venga hasta ti

Pero si el elige dejar tu corazón, o el corazón de aquel a quien tu amas, no hay nada que puedas hacer, y no hay nada que debas hacer.

El amor es y siempre será un misterio.

Alégrate de que el haya entrado a tu vida en algún momento.

Si tu mantienes tu corazón abierto, el vendrá de nuevo a ti. La falla es la única oportunidad de comenzar de nuevo de manera más inteligente.

I predict that Rey's Blog next week is going to melt faces (in a good way... not in the Raiders of the Lost Ark way).

eight="344">SALUDOS  A TODAS  MIS  AMISTADES 

Yesterday, we had the Turkish cyber-stalker on site telling us the tale about a Turkish flasher, living in Germany who has just been elected as deputy leader of the Green party. Well his party alone makes the man's mental health suspect. The fact that he is ethnically a member of one off the most intolerant races does not bode well for German politics. The Greens themselves are an intolerant organization. If you don't agree with their desire to bankrupt the world, spending money on unneeded and inefficient ways of generating power and fuel. Stopping the growing crops that will help feed millions of starving people by labeling them “Frankenstein foods”, and trashing any attempts at field trials. Then they are just as likely to destroy you business, home and reputation.

Well you get the idea, I am not overly fond of the greens.

Why did I label Turkey intolerant.

Consider this, Writer Hrant Dink was killed last year because some in Turkey could not tolerate what he stood for. To nationalists, he was a traitor. Hrant Dink defined himself as ethnic Armenian. He wrote about the expulsion and killing of hundreds of thousands of Ottoman Armenians from eastern Turkey in 1915. To Armenians, and others, that was genocide. To the whole world, except Turkey, which denies the whole episode, this was genocide

His widow has decided to speak out. "I don't know if I should say this, but the origins of this murder go back to 1915," Rakel says.

"An Armenian told the truth to the face of the Turkish state and the law. That's why Hrant was murdered. It offended them, it dishonored them."

Any body who criticizes the Turkish state is branded a traitor, thats why at least 20 writers in Istanbul are now living with bodyguards.

Further, eighty ultra-nationalists are currently on trial just outside Istanbul, accused of plotting to overthrow the government and block democratic reforms. The prosecutor claims the group - known as Ergenekon - planned a campaign of murder and violence.

Until discussion and dissent are normal in Turkey can we allow this country of 70 million intolerant Muslims into the EU

Viento entre tu cabello, acariciado entre tu piel, sueno oh incoherencia, mera casualidad, intrinsico sueno entre tu ppiel, media noche. calor entu cuerpo. sed entu alma, cuerpo, alma pensamiento.Llevandote todo eso en conjunto con lo que mas deceas, agregas un toque de ti,..agregas tu mirada, tres caricias..tres deceos, tres noches transformadas en una..tres dias  menos 31, marzo mi dia..febrero tu dia.. fecha importante un dia 9..mes catolico del redentor, renacimiento..del mismo donde todo empezo..Sueno, pasion, deceo, incumplimiento,mentira y traiccion...lagrimas, lamento..todo loq ue puedas sentir cuando el amor de tu vida ves derrumbar fallida creencia..

El corazon late, despues de la herida..despues de su misma llaga ver sangran...
 
Talvez su Un silencio, susdos miradas, de el tres palabras,cuatro susurros,cinco secretos,seis sonrisas, mil de sus besos,un amor tu"

Una herida mas enmi corazon, una promesa que quema mi alma, de no interferir en su vida..mi corazon grita el silencio aturde sus propios sentidos...paz y quietud aparente..traiccion inminente..

NAda es para siempre...solo un seg. de nuesta vida existimos,solo un seg..para amar aquien verdad queremos...decision de dos..mas herida el alma por quien mas amas..sobre esos tu mirada eterna entre mi alma.

et amore di'll scorpione!
