Politically (In)Correct

This is to prove to my Dutch friend Kahvy Sands, who comments as his husband Rick de vette on this blog (with the flimsy excuse that he cannot log in as himself pffft), that I am proudly politically correct yet I still dare post this version of "Forever Young".

Actually I cannot see what's so challenging about this clip, but perhaps it's because it is 2.30 AM and I am too tired due to a sudden onset of insomnia...

Happy Birthday, Ziggy!

Hugs and kisses on you birthday, Ziggy, and may you have many more!


Forever Young by Alphaville


Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madman
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever

Angel Watching Over Me

As I was driving home from work today I ran out on gas while I was still in the left lane of the freeway.

So with the last few milliliters in my tank I veered right to get to the side of the road. When I did so I didn't look back carefully enough so there would have been a bad crash had it not been for the skills of the driver of the car that was nearly running into me.

After the near miss, while I was still catching my breath, I heard my Ars say "That was close, babe! Look where you are going next time. And I don´t want to rub it in, but you knew you were low on gas already this morning."

When I had gotten a friend to come rescue me with a few liters of gas and was driving into my hometown I accidentally hit the thing on my steering wheel that changes the radio channel. The new channel had just started playing "Forever Young". That song has a special meaning to me in connection with Ars, I think I have explained it earlier in this blog.

Just saying, my angel is still watching over me! I´m shaken and stirred but totally unharmed. And no I am not going completely crazy due to my medication. I am still rational enough to realize that Ars voice was conjured up by my brain due to the scare, but that doesn't explain the coincidence of the music.

Forever Young

I dag vaknade jag med den här låten i huvudet, sedan har den fortsatt att spela i mitt huvud resten av dagen.

Det finns ett tydligt minne i mitt SL-liv förknippat med sången. Det är firandet av min Ars tvåårsrezzdag. Vi bodde redan då på Southern Charm och för att fira dagen bjöd vi in alla vi tyckte om.

Jag, min bror Martial Eisenhart (som sedermera har lämnat SL) och Ars son Guyke ägnade en hel vecka åt att tillsammans ställa iordning festplatsen och ordna med resten. Min Ars var under tiden förbjuden att komma till hemmasimen.

sarcophilus Halderman, då en vän till familjen, hade trots att han är australiensare och således tvingades stiga upp sex på morgonen, lovat att stå för musiken. Han fick spela vad han ville - han är ju en duktig DJ - men hade en enda tydlig instruktion. "Forever Young" med Alphaville skulle ingå eftersom det var temat för festen.

sarco satte naturligtvis ihop ett underbart set och "Forever Young" spelades i två versioner, både Alphavilles version och en version med ett australiensiskt band som heter Youth Group. Festen blev mycket lyckad och min Ars hade trevligt. Det var en lycklig dag!



Sådär ja, nu hoppas jag att låten lämnar mitt huvud och går vidare till era istället! (Jag älskar den här videon. Ungarna gör inga extrema tricks, de har bara kul.)
