I loved the 1984 fantasy film `The NeverEnding Story` when it first came out long ago. It features a bunch of creepy characters, puppets and lots of action. The main character, Atreyu, is totally cute, though.
Below is a downloaded copy of the YouTube.com by rubysohogirl: The NeverEnding Story.
I also loved the theme song to this American film, saw the lyrics saved to my personal computer and decided to download a copy of this YouTube.com video. And for the first time I saw who performed this beautiful song.
However, I can’t get enough of the hair-do. I laughed and remembered how the 1980’s style later influnced bands such as Chicago and an American television series Miami Vice.
Turn around
Look at what you see
In her face
The mirror of your dreams
Make believe I’m everywhere
Hidden in the lines
Written on the pages
Is the answer to our never ending story
ah ah ah
Reach the stars
Fly a fantasy
Dream a dream
And what you see will be
Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow
Is the answer to our never ending story
ah ah ah
Show no fear
For she may fade away
In your hand
The birth of a new day
Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow
Is the answer to our Never ending story…
ah ah ah
Never ending story…
ah ah ah
Never ending story.
I love the lyrics by `Neil Peart` for the Canadian rock band `Rush`. The meanings are very deep, philosophical and down-right creepy in a science fiction, esoteric sense. I had to search high and low just to find the lyrics three years ago.
Here is a downloaded copy of the YouTube.com by Hemispheres88: Ghost of a Chance by Rush
Like a million little doorways
All the choices we made
All the stages we passed through
All the roles we played
For so many different directions
Our separate paths might have turned
With every door that we opened
Every bridge that we burned
Somehow we find each other
Through all that masquerade
Somehow we found each other
Somehow we have stayed
In a state of grace
I don’t believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of fate
I don’t believe in forever
Or love as a mystical state
I don’t believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there’s a ghost of a chance we can find someone to love
And make it last…
Like a million little crossroads
Through the back streets of youth
Each time we turn a new corner
A tiny moment of truth
For so many different connections
Our separate paths might have made
With every door that we opened
Every game we played
Somehow we find each other
Through all that masquerade
Somehow we found each other
Somehow we have stayed
In a state of grace
I don’t believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of fate
I don’t believe in forever
Or love as a mystical state
I don’t believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there’s a ghost of a chance we can find someone to love
And make it last…
I want one that’s cleaner burning. SCAM ALERT: oil dependency and UAW thugs. I’ll invest in Japan and pals: respect of nature and honor the planet. Here is a YouTube.com video by raviwfc: Japanese Water Powered Car!!
Maw was cleaning out one of her drawer (center) from her mirrored furniture, a first as a newly wed long ago, and pulled out a handkerchief, which her late eldest sister, Nita, gave to her many years ago. Nita told Maw to keep it in her handbag; for it is supposed to protect her. It is currently laying on a white, plastic table for viewing later on in the living room.
My photo showing an handkerchief of 'El Shaddai' from Nita to Maw.
It’s mostly in Filipino (or specifically Tagalog). Only Paw seemed to be able to interpret the words.

The right hand column is mostly empowered affirmation to believe in God:
EL SHADDAI
* Awit ng Pagtitiwala sa Diyos *
* SALMO – 91 *
SIYANG NAGHAHAHGAD NG PAGKUPKOP NG KATAAS-TAASAN, AT NANANATILI SA KALING NIYONG MAKAPANGYARIHAN,
MAKAPAGSASABI SA KANYANG PANGINOON, “MUOG KA’T TAHANAN IKAW ANG AKING DIYOS, ANG DIYOS ANA TANGI KONG PINAGKATIWALAAN.
IKAW’Y ILILIGTAS NIYA SA PANGANIB SA UMANG NA BITAG, AT KAHIT ANO MANG MABIGAT NA SALOT DI KA MAGDARANAS.
LULUKUBAN NIYA SA LILIM NG KANYANG MALABAY NA PAKPAK, SA KALINGA NIYA NATITIYAK MO NA IKAW AY LIGTAS; IINGATAN NIYA’T IPAGSASANGGALANG, PAGKAT SIYA’Y TAPAT.
PAGSAPIT NG GABI, DI KA MATATAKOT SA ANUMANG BAGAY, MAGING SA GAGAWING BIGLAANG PAGLUSOB PAGSAPIT NG ARAW.
NI SA ANO PA MAN DARATING NA SALOT PAGKAGAT NG DILIM, DI KA MATATAKOT SA KASMAAN MANG ARAW KUNG DUMATING.
KAHIT NA MABUWAL SA INYONG HARAPAN ANG SANLIBONG TAO. SA IYONG PALIGID ANG BILANG NG PATAY MAGING SAMPUNG LIBO, DI KA MATATAKOT AT NITITIYAK MONG DI KA MAANO.
IKAW’Y NAGMAMASID AT SA PANONOOD IYONG MAMAMASDAN YAONG MASASAMA AY MAKIKITA MONG PINARURUSAHAN.
SAPAGKAT SI YAHWEH ANG IYONG GINAWANG TAGAPAG-SANGGALANG AT ANG PINILI MONG MAG-IINGAT SA YO’Y KATAASP-TAASAN.
DI MO AABUTING IKAW’Y MAPAHAMAK, AT WALANG DARTAL. KAHIT ANONG URING MGA PAGHIHIRAP SA IYONG TAHANAN.
SUSUGUIN NIYA ANG MARAMING ANGHEL, SILA’NG SUSUBAYBAY. KAHIT SAANG DAK IKAW MAPAROON, TIYAK IINGATAN.
SA KANILANG PALAD AY ITATYO KA’T, SILA’NG MAGTATAAS, NANG HINDI MASAKTAN ANG MGA PAA MO SA BATONG MATALAS.
KAHIT ANG TAPAKAN MO AY MGA LEON, AHAS NA MABAGSIK, DI KA MAANO SA MGA SERPIYENTE’T LEON MABABANGIS.
ANG SABI NG DIYOS, “AKING ILILIGTAS ANG TAPAT SA AKIN, AT IINGATAN KO ANG SINUMANG TAONG AKO’Y KIKILANLIN,
PAG SILA’Y TUMAWAG, LAGING HANDA AKO NA SILA’Y PAKINGGAN AKING SASMAHAN AT KUNG MAY HILAHIL AY SASAKLOLOHAN, AKING ILILGTAS AT AN BAWAT ISA AY PARARANGALAN,
SILA’Y BIBIGYAN KO’T GAGANTIMPALAAN NG MAHABANG BUYHA. AT NAKATITIYAK NA ANG TATAMUHIN NILA’Y KALIGTASAN!”

The left column encourages the reader to ‘Please, Pray the Rosary’:
HAIL MARY
HAIL MARY FULL OF GRACE; THE LORD IS WITH THEE; BLESSED ART THOU AMONG WOMEN AND BLESSED IS THE FRUIT OF THY WOMB, JESUS. HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD, PRAY FOR US SINNERS, NOW AND AT THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH.
AMEN

I remember listening to a lovely song entitled `El Shaddai` as sung by Amy Grant and always wanted to know the lyrics to this song and hear it in its entirety. So, tonight was the time to find out, which I did by a quick search.
Here is a downloaded copy of the YouTube.com by `DanielMAwale`:
While watching the video, I just cried, which usually means something this beautiful has TRUTH and touched my heart with her soothing voice, the piano playing softly in the background and the strong visual aides. Below are the lyrics per video:
[REFRAIN]
EL SHADDAI, EL SHADDAI
EL-ELYON NA ADONAI
AGE TO AGE YOUR STILL THE SAME
BY THE POWER OF THE NAME
EL SHADDAI, EL SHADDAI
ERKAMKA NA ADONAI
* WE WILL PRAISE AND LIFT YOU HIGH
EL SHADDAI
THROUGH YOUR LOVE AND THROUGH THE RAM
YOU SAVE THE SON OF ABRAHAM
THROUGH THE POWER OF YOUR HAND
YOU TURNED THE SEA INTO DRY LAND
TO THE OUTCAST ON HER KNEES
YOU ARE THE GOD WHO REALLY SEES
AND BY YOUR MIGHT
YOU SET YOUR CHILDREN FREE
[REFRAIN]
THROUGH THE YEARS YOU MADE IT CLEAR
THAT THE TIME OF CHRIST WAS NEAR
THOUGH THE PEOPLE COULDN’T SEE
WHAT MESSIAH OUGHT TO BE
THOUGH YOUR WORD CONTAINED THE PLAN
THEY JUST WOULDN’T UNDERSTAND
YOUR MOST AWESOME WORK WAS DONE
THROUGH THE FRAILTY OF YOUR SON
[RERAIN TWICE] for both refrains, please replace * with the following verses:

To the award-winning Polynesian group VAIHI: u guys look MUCH thinner & healthier per a YouTube.com video! To Piko: Tell your Paw I said, `Hi & Happy belated B-day`. Aloha!
I was watching a very few episodes of ‘The Best Of Will Ferrell – Volume 2’ last night on cable programming. He’s truly a funny guy and plays many characters well. The ‘Lover’ episodes were my favorites.
I remember several Old Spice commercials in which Will Ferrell plays Jackie Moon, the owner-coach-player of the American Basketball Association’s Flint Michigan Tropics.
Here is a YouTube.com video by krayziegamer: Semi-Pro’ in Theatres February 29th (2008).
It shows all eight (8) commercials with each of the eight episodes advertising the trailer to the movie.
What made me chuckled was his sports outfit, a real teaser. It was totally old school: stretch headband, knee-high, ribbed socks and very short, well, shorts! I remember wearing these three kinds of clothing during high-school.
But there were other noticeable give aways that looked familiar to me: He wore a basketball jersey sporting: a brown-colored palm tree (which signifies a particular group of TPTB & pals); the number 33 (for a Masonic level) and the team name Flint (which is closely resembles to Flynn: C’est moi!)
See Will Ferrel’s image as Jackie Moon below:
Will Ferrell as Jack Moon
Besides his outfit, I noticed the all popular hairdo was an Afro, all bushy and curly. But it was red in color, obviously for the Irish and the fact that the Old Spice commercial is predominately Irish in its presentation and not so much as in scent.
So there you have more of the ‘networks’ sense of humor, which is more than enough examples in references to tongue-in-cheek to many worldwide events we are currently experiencing in the political and religious arena.

President Obama Notre Dame Speech (Part 1)
President Obama Notre Dame Speech (Part 2)
President Obama Notre Dame Speech (Part 3)
While listening to the annoying stop and go, three part videos, I’ve listed my brief (sarcastic, yet enlightening) commentary after each line item to the highlights per FoxNews.com,:
I am honored to be here.
I was at a party with the parishioners for a 40th jubilee.
Honorary degree has not been without controversy.
No offense: please stop the tradition of giving guest speakers honorary degree!
Insults those students who worked hard, took out student loans & passed tests.
Makes others realize that anyone can be president and still get free stuff! Neat!
Every one of you should be proud.
I’m proud to be an AMERICAN! And so should y’all!
Class has come of age at a moment of great consequence.
You are the future work force of AMERICA.
Please make smarter state-owned, tax-paying baby drones.
We must remake our world to renew its promise.
That means to CHANGE but learn to tolerate, even if wrong.
Must find a way to live together as one human family.
People need to live together with ALL living, sentient beings.
Major threats we face do not discriminate.
Huh? So the terrors are the ones that DO discriminate?
We cling to outworn prejudice, fear the unfamiliar.
People must be de-programmed with positive feedback.
Too many view life through lens of immediate self-interest.
I know! I’m feeling communist. But in reality, people are programmed for self first then others.
The strong too often dominate the weak.
I, too, find myself too weak to fight back.
Too many with wealth and power find justification for privilege.
It’s because ‘birds of a feather flock together’.
It can be hard to bring together people of good will.
That’s why we build walls and protect our borders.
Must open minds to have possibility of common grounds.
Options are available. Let’s remember life as a commonality.
Let’s work together to reduce seeking of abortions.
Fetuses have life. Some live through abortions!
Let’s work to reduce unintended pregnancies.
Woman are OLD ENOUGH to decide.
Let’s work together to make adoption available.
Old souls prefer this option over abortion.
Let’s honor conscience of those who disagree with abortion.
Don’t worry! The spirits have a choice to return to another body.
Let’s draft a sensible conscience clause.
People are out of control. They need laws.
Health care policy must be grounded in clear ethics.
It gives the nurses opportunity to save the aborted lives.
Health care policies must respect equality of women.
Women have hormonal imbalance. Just help them.
I do not suggest on abortion can/should go away.
Again, abortion is allowed, just as freewill.
View of most on abortion are complex, even contradictory.
Again, allow the option to avoid disenfranchisement.
At some level, views of two camps are irreconcilable.
Again, allow the women to decide the fate of the unborn.
Learned the tradition of understanding in my own life.
Again, don’t make babies, if y’all can’t afford to take care of it!
My mother instilled in me a sense of service and empathy.
Okay, that’s nice. Move on, please.
Touching others’ hearts and minds is our greatest calling.
That’s why Obama spoke about abortion as an option at a pre-dominantly Catholic, pro-life arena.
Have confidence in values with which you’ve been raised.
Just know this: Love one another.
Be unafraid to speak your mind.
‘Love’ learns from harsh criticism. But love never changes.
Hold firm to your faith and let it guide you.
Prayers work. Sometimes the results come when least expected.
Irony of faith is that it necessarily admits doubt.
That’s where the critical mind serves as a warning mechanism where blind faith leads.
Beyond our capacity to know with certainty God’s plan.
Not even the angels or the Son of God’ knows.
BOTTOMLINE: All I ask is for y’all to behave and try to reconcile your differences!
We must trust that God’s wisdom is greater than our own.
God is minuscule yet infinite. Let’s learn from each other!
Doubt should not push us away from our faith.
Doubt means something is wrong.
Doubt should humble us: It should temper our passions.
Doubt allows us to reconsider hasty actions, words and deeds.
Doubt should cause us to be wary of self-righteousness.
Doubt has a way of making others incorrect.
Doubt should remind us to persuade through reason.
Use your common sense. Sometimes gut feelings work, too.
Should persuade through good works, charity, kindness.
Be a lighthouse, basically.
We are bound to others by the call to love, to serve.
But first take care of yourself; so as to be able to answer the call.
Service breaks down walls and fosters cooperation.
Work harder!
When differences are set aside, all things are possible.
Prepare for the NWO!
I will not pretend the challenges we face will be easy.
That’s wherein comes those who have parts of the puzzle to put together with those lost pieces.
I will not pretend all our differences will fade away.
We can try to forgive but cannot forget!
We all seek the same fulfillment of a life well lived.
While watching a video of six parts to elder prophecies, I added a favorite video showing men with LONG HAIR to my YouTube.com account. OMG! They are gorgeous! They have such lovely eyes (and everything else)!
I recall walking into the Melchior Pavilion lobby last January to a doctor’s appointment of one of the twosome. Two tall guys just walked away from the elevator while chatting. They came near the automatic double doors. As these opened to receive me, I caught a quick glance of the taller of the two.
This one had long, dark black hair just below the ears. He had blue eyes. He smiled quickly back at me. To his right, the lighter colored hair chap seemed to smile at him knowingly. I guess I cracked a knowing grin back at him, well, sort of.
That’s what I get for reading my favorite author’s books. I suppose my mind kept looping over the details while trying to get the facts straightened out about ascended masters looking WAY beautiful. It was hard not to look up, feel the blush on my cheeks and look back down quickly.
Damn you all! You’re so beautiful! I’m enamored! This is probably the closest encounter that I would ever have in a lifetime. I wished they wouldn’t be is such as hurry to stop for a photo. But I wouldn’t have the nerve to whip out my camera. I’d probably fumble and make a fool of myself. Yummy!
