Any comment would only detract from this....

Photo or portal ?

This is the second digital photo which I have taken where something has appeared on it at a later date. Note the green / pink lights and spectrum of colours that are to the right of the tree. Even the vague images that are contained in them if you zoom in extremely have moved sideways from their original position. Why are digital images so corruptible ?

Solve the 3rd world water crises, get pissed and help womens rights in Africa...all at the same time !!!

Matt Damon seems to have jumped on the band wagon of celebreties who feel the need to enhance their own kudos by supporting a worthy cause. I wish they would just stick to acting and maybe improve  the " block buster 2 films they star in instead. I mean he even keeps a straight face here... Truth be told the film industry has nothing new to say and is in decline long term. I guess like all people in the public eye they know how to re-invent themselves ?

Irish Rebellion

Today I attended my neighbours funeral. It was an emotional affair. As the coffin finally left the Church an unusual choice of music was played. The bawdy Irish folk song The Wild Rover. As the congregation sang along to the lyrics printed on the order of service I raised my eyebrows alright. With references to wild times and drinking it clashed with the previous atmosphere of a Church funeral. In fact it was sung with a hint of aggression, defience and rebellion against the sad death of the deceased. I don't think I will hear the likes of it again. I am not normally a fan of traditional Irish music but it felt like sticking two fingers up at our own mortality. Very human - not at all spiritual. Maybe this is a side we need to express more at times of grief or public ceremonies ? A life cannot be reduced to a pious Church service can it ?
