INTELLIWENCH WANTS TO KNOW: FAVORITE SONG/PIECE NOW?


I'm leaning more towards Beethoven and Mozart as of late. Classical music calms the lunatic in me, and it's so rewarding to listen to as I scrub and dust my apartment until it is as shiny as the most expensive diamond  :-)

And what might your favorite be?

P.S. The talented chap with the magic fingers on the piano is Georgi Cherkin.

THREE DOG NIGHT: ONE IS THE LONELIEST NUMBER



Favorite song until I was twelve. Then I Heard Janis Ian's "At Seventeen" when I was thirteen. The rest is history...

ENCOUNTERING GOD ON MY WAY TO SAFEWAY



Jesus, it was heavy pouring rain, and I was glad I had my black umbrella to keep me dry. I passed by a church on my way to Safeway, and suddenly two girls and a dude asked me how they might find a cab ASAP? I told them to hotfoot it to Broadway (they had no umbrella).

They thanked me for the info, and all I could think about was how I am geographically impaired. That's why I choose to walk. Then I noticed the lighted stained  glass window, and I was happy all of this happened in front of a church. Perhaps a sign? I hope they found a cab. Amen.

VEGANMAN: SEAN DUFFY


Consider this a sort of mini-review of an awesome book about the liberation of animals, and what the world would be like if the tables were suddenly turned. What makes us (human beings) so superior to other living creatures on this planet?

Some of us kill (on a regular basis) when it is completely insane to do so. I mean, too many of us kill animals for sport. And if I am to believe the news (I always consider multiple sources), we have finally reached the point of no return: killing animals is not enough - it's time to wipe out the human race.

This is what happens when people lose all respect for life - animal or human. If you value life (as I do), I encourage you to take a long peek at this much needed book: It contains humor, satire, tragedy, sadness, and hope for a better future for all living creatures. Here's the link: Veganman

I daresay it's the perfect Christmas gift.
