The Ramones | just say No to marxism…

Posted in music, videoTagged , , ,
10-22-76 Washington Square “The Ramones react to pro-communist graffiti stencilled on the iconic/ironic Washington Square arch. When it was a question of being funny or giving a good picture, they’d go for the good picture – but if they could do both they would. Here they could go beyond joking and flirt with politics.” -Danny Fields

Lent

Sorry about the shakiness of the vid. It was windy and a long pan. ;-)
The most important thing to Christians is that it is lent.

What is Lent?

Lent is the 40-day period leading up to Easter, (excluding Sundays) that starts on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter.

The 40 days of Lent involve fasting, prayer, and almsgiving as a way to connect deeper with God. Commonly observed by Roman Catholic, Eastern, and some Protestant churches, many use the 40 days of Lent as a time of personal reflection to prepare your heart and mind for Good Friday and Easter.

The origin of the word Lent comes from the “Old English lencten springtime, spring” and “from West Germanic langitinaz long-days or lengthening of the day.”

 

the Kit Jones | Darien, GA

Bringing history back to Darien…

Then ~

She is 60 feet long, 17 feet wide, 18 feet tall, and weighs 60,000lbs. She’s a historic, wood-hull vessel built on Sapelo Island, GA and launched March 1939 by island owner and tobacco company heir R.J. Reynolds, Jr.  Her name is Kit Jones.

From blueprints by the esteemed yacht designers, Sparkman & Stephens of New York, the Kit was uniquely constructed of native heart pine and live oak timbers which were harvested and milled on Sapelo.  Under the direction of Danish shipwright Axel Sparre, many Sapelo residents – Gullah-Geechee descendants of slaves brought to the island prior to the Civil War – assisted in the construction. In subsequent years, a number of other McIntosh County residents served as masters and mates on the vessel as well.

 Deora Ar Mo Chroí / Tears In My Heart | Enya

Ba dheas an lá go oíche
Na glórtha binne i mo thaobh
‘S aoibhneas i gach áit gan gruaim
Áthas ar mo chroí go deo
He-a-ro
He-a-o-ro

Ma shiúlaim ó na laetha beo
An ghrian ‘s an ghealach ar mo chúl
Níl uaim ach smaointe ó mo shaoil
Deora ar mo chroí go brón
He-a-ro
He-a-ro
He-a-o-ro

 

How pleasant the day to night
The sweet voices next to me
And joy in every place without gloom
Happiness in my heart forever
He-a-ro
He-a-o-ro

If I walk away from the living days
The sun and the moon at my back
I lack nothing but thoughts from my own world
Tears in my heart, sadly
He-a-ro
He-a-ro
He-a-o-ro
