Through life, there are people and events that take and hold a piece of our soul - sometimes the better, sometimes for the worst. Sometimes the trigger are small, apparently insignificant things.
A piece of mine was taken 9 years ago when I saw the above screenshots in the news. I sobbed for day, as I still do today. I grieved for people I had never met, as I still do today.
PRIDE doesn't hold meaning (or the same meaning) for everyone - and that is okay.
But regardless of where we stand on, of what we believe on - Love and Kindness to our neighbours shall be the Law.
This is, once again, my Starchild wish and Blessing to you all:
'May, when given the choice, you always choose kindness. For you are all Children of the Earth and Starry Heavens, but your race is of Heaven Alone'
Let us remember:
'Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth, for behold: all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals; and therefore let there be Beauty and Strength, Power and Compassion, Honour and Humility, Mirth and reverence within you.'
Blessed Pride
In Love & Grief,
Aurora Starchild

I have debated bringing this masterpiece to the library...not that there is anything wrong with it...I think it is one of the greatest love stories of all time. I used to watch the movie at least once per year. But around 2017, my father started showing signs of dementia...vascular dementia, to be exact. Mini strokes that robbed him of more and more, until they took his life in 2020. Took me a few years to even grieve...I suppose because i had been bracing for the inevitable for about 3 years. So around 2023 or so, I finally allowed myself to rewatch the movie for this book (yes, i think it does it justice)...well, the tears finally came pouring out of me, like rain in a Sparks novel/movie. ;)

Anyways, this is an amazing novel, it will likely tug on your heart strings, if it has not already. For those few of you unfamiliar with the book nor the movie, I normally suggest watching movie versions first; I find they help me visualize the book better, I also find that a book can rarely disappoint and be less descriptive than a movie; but sometimes if we read the book 1st, we may be disappointed if the movie leaves something out, or portrays something different than we pictured or understood it. I won't give any spoilers; y'all can ordain what you wish based on what I said thus far. But, anyone who has not read this nor seen the movie...you are Truly missing out on something very special. Enjoy!

Steve Vai: Die Odyssee eines Gitarrenvirtuosen


Steven Siro Vai, geboren am 6. Juni 1960 in Carle Place, Long Island, New York, zeigte bereits in jungen Jahren eine tiefe Verbindung zur Musik. Als eines von fünf Geschwistern in einer typischen, eng verbundenen italienisch-katholischen Familie entdeckte er die Musik schon mit vier Jahren, als er ein Klavier in der Wohnung seiner Tante erkundete. Seine musikalische Reise begann ernsthaft mit sieben Jahren, als er seine erste Band gründete. Ein entscheidender Moment war der Kauf von Frank Zappas Album „Freak Out“, das sein Verständnis von Musik revolutionierte.

Anybody who has seen The Witcher will recognize this scene, but in our story line, her name is Ennya and she lives on Leshmor Island which is currently under construction. I'm also working on the background "Lore" for the RP. Remember this is based on The Witcher, the names are different but, the concept is the same with a few twists and turns. If you think you would be interested in this RP, or even in inter-grid RP just give me a holler here and I'll get back to you ASAP. Blessings and Much love, Lavia.

So...you can run your mouth...but...can you fight like a girl?

Thank you Amy Lee, Evanessence, K. Flay, and the worlds of John Wick and Ballerina, for empowering women. More and more films these days with badass, tough women. Enjoyed Ballerina in theaters today, as much as any of the John Wick movies.

One step closer and you're all mine
You leave me no choice
Burned into mind
I'm going in for the kill
There is no other way out

If you need to, baby
Cry (Cry)
Cry about it (Why don't you cry all about it?)
Time to pay for what you started
Who's sorry now?
Tell your lies
Yeah, you can run your mouth
But can you fight like a girl?
Fight like a girl
And take this world

Tonight, you're the victim of your own crime
You made your choice
You'll swallow your fate
Stone cold, feed the snakes
Hold that fire
Say my name

Baby, you can cry (Cry)
Cry about it (Why don't you cry all about it?)
Time to pay for what you started
Who's sorry now?
Tell your lies
Yeah, you can run your mouth
But can you fight like a girl?
Fight like a girl
Fight like a girl
Fight like a girl

Sinner and savior, I've been walking the line
Killers collide, the feeling, an adrenaline high
Violent behavior in my blood
No one but myself to trust
Vengeance, well, that shit's a hell of a drug
Break the cycle, I don't wanna
Break your spinal, yeah, I'm gonna
My finger on the trigger, I've been feeding the pain
You'll never fight like a girl, so I keep winning the game

I wanna see you cry (Cry)
Cry about it (Why don't you cry all about it?)
Time to pay for what you started
Who's sorry now?
Tell your lies
Yeah, you can run your mouth
But can you fight like a girl?

Sinner and savior, I've been walking the line
Devil disguised, I see it when I look in your eyes

Yeah, you can run your mouth
But can you fight like a girl?
Fight like a girl
Fight like a girl
Fight like a girl

Soft Machine

Die Pioniere des Canterbury Sound


London, Mitte der 1960er Jahre. Die Luft vibriert vor kreativer Energie, eine kulturelle Revolution erfasst die Jugend und die Musikszene ist ein brodelnder Kessel aus neuen Klängen und Ideen. In diesem Epizentrum des Wandels, in den rauchgeschwängerten, psychedelisch erleuchteten Hallen des UFO Clubs, betritt eine Band die Bühne, die im Begriff ist, die Grenzen der Rockmusik für immer zu verschieben. Ihr Name, entlehnt aus der surrealistischen Prosa von William S. Burroughs, ist ein Versprechen: The Soft Machine.
