[Flynn’s comment: Below is a gallery showing a four-paged letter `From the Pastor’s Desk`. Fr. Michael is on military assignment. This is a greeting from Jalalabad, Afghanistan. You may click on the images to view a larger version.]
Here are some useful links referenced from the Pastor’s letter:
This morning was foggy for about one-half block. The whole day has been gray clouds and cold. Then later on in the afternoon, the sun set came out and some patches of blue skies managed to show up.
Today, Maw received a Christmas Card (Association of the Miraculous Medal) from Jeane S. (in Capitola, CA). They worked together in a state developmental hospital. Most of that land is now owned by Cisco Systems, Inc. (my nemesis).
During this holy season
may your heart be warmed with
the golden memories of all
the happy days you have ever known.
May every gift of God has given you
fill the hearts of all who are dear to you.
Amen.
I’ve changed my WordPress.com weblog theme to `Black Letterhead by Ulysses Ronquillo` again a couple of days ago. The colors are dark, red, orange, yellow and gray. The header is sporting the image of the setting sun. There is a chemtrail below the sun. The clouds are obviously murky in color, almost golden but not quite and greenish, too. That photo was taken on 01/16/2008, two years ago from my upstairs window.
Yup! I’m definitely sick! My tears fell down my eyes and out my congested nose as I watched a Wimp.com video titled: `Baby laughing slowed down.` The baby is cute but the way it laughed sounded like an old man. I watched it twice with Maw, who was too sleepy to laugh along with me.
My laughter was coming out wrong as if asthmatic. The sounds of laughter and clear mucus were caught in my throat. I feel warm in my ear, nose and throat, too. Wearing my childhood cap of rainbow colors and three layers of fleece war warmed me up enough to generate healing.
I’ve been watching the a Wimp.com video titled: `Cat eats ‘Nom Nom’ style`. I love kitty cats!
And now I’m watching `Is 2012 the end?` The video features Neil deGrasse Tyson, an American astrophysicist, who I’ve came across as being VERY educational, yet entertaining via some of his appearances on PBS.
He mentioned that 2012 is just another year and jokingly said that December 21 occurs every year! It’s simply profound.
Again, I’ve been lurking online and came across one of my favorite anime songs of all time. I still know how to sing the lyrics in JAPANESE by heart (or all things)! Yup!
This version is performed on electric guitar by a guy from Argentina. It’s too bad he could fade off towards the end of this song. I viewed his other YouTube.com videos and he’s pretty good.
Matias D’ Andrea – Do You Remember Love- (Guitar Version) MACROSS by karinajelinek
I’m lurking online again and came across yet another nice YouTube.com worth sharing. It’s an anime and a contest winner. The ocarina sounds are haunting, of course.
Naruto – “Sadness and Sorrow” Piano Guitar Pipa Ocarina FULL VERSION by vladtepesdrac
Earlier I’ve been lurking online and came across yet another version of a Def Leppard song via YouTube.com. This time it’s by Regina Velasquez. I believe she’s Filipino. She is a powerful singer and almost looked like she didn’t have to struggle in singing the song.
Regine Velasquez- Bringin on the Heartbreak
Well, I’m still up during the wee hours of the morning and came yet another one of my favorite songs of the time via YouTube.com. It’s just the audio, along with the subtitles, like karaoke style.
Def Leppard – Love Bites by carlherl
So I’m lurking online again and came across a Def Leppard acoustic medley via YouTube.com:
Foolin / Bringin’ on the Heartbreak – Medley by TopJimmyWinn:
His rendition was pretty good. His physique and face reminds me of my other former b/f, too, only the former is much darker and uglier! Meh!
Earlier, I tried listening to Mariah Carey’s version but it was too soft and not HARD enough to my earholes! Waahh!
For about a half hour before midnight (Pacific Time or GMT -8:00), Maw and I were viewing a bunch of videos on YouTube.com. A Filipino played some of our favorite Filipino musics in Kundiman style and other classics like JS Bach. Here is a YouTube.com video on classical guitar.
