Earth Hour 2008

This Saturday, March 29, 2008, from 8pm to 9pm,
TURN OFF THE LIGHTS.

This WWF (World Wildlife Fund) global event addresses global warming and climate change through direct action and awareness build-up.

We need to start acting now or else there'll be nothing to act on in 20 years - no earth.

Let this black-out make us see in a different light.

Max Fischer's Song


Poor old Granddad I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
They trap you, then they use you
Before you even know
For love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't ever let it show
.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
.
The Can Can's such a pretty show
They'll steal your heart away
But backstage, back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long
Before they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again
.
When you want her lips, you get a cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more and she's fast asleep
Then she's twinkling with the stars
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way
Ooh la la
Ooh la la la yeah
.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger
.
Ooh La La by The Faces

The Genius' Audience

To allow his genius to become apparent to himself it was necessary that he should dare to give up aiming to please. Cut off from everyone by deafness he discovered the vulnerability of the spectator, he realized that the painter has only to struggle with himself and he will become, sooner or later, the conqueror of all.
