There are three songs with a smile in it that I had to remember.
The word smile that is in the lyrics.
1. Chris Cornell - Moonchild I thought had a smile in the song Blackhole sun but they were only smiling in the music video to that Soundgarden epic but I found that in the song Moonchild he had the word smile that I remember hearing from the Euphoria morning.
2. Smile - Judy Garland sings to the Charlie Chaplin music the words by Nat King Cole. Smile even though...
3. Smile - James Marsters sing about a smiling girl.
And that's the order I've heard them. Firstly in my adolescent a Moonchild, second as working in me twenties all about Smile and thirdly now in my thirties another sort of Smiles that also brings me back to the 90´s when I was teenager. Do you ever grow up?
Are there other songs with the word smile in it to know of?
The day begun with a cup of tea with the Blackcurrent taste and a teaspoon of honey, some soymilk.
This day I had e-mail to answer to on my work-not-work-place which is the benefit of being part in a non-profitable organisation. You got mail and you get something to do when the parttime job is, well isn´t calling for your attention.
Last week I got three days of work in the kindergarten and took one day off for the Art Exhibition of the Springtime - Vårsalong at Roslagsmålarna.
The weekend involved friday dinner in a restaurant with a party of 12 and a baby. Unlucky number? And on Sunday I attended the christening of said baby.
I´m not a believer was all I could think of but the family talks in the original language of Syrian which maybe means something religious.
I picked up my camera and did some photoshop yesterday, haven´t done stuff in ages with the photos, nothing since last year.
I've gotten coffee in the afternoon and a cinnamon roll - kanelbulle. Mom did the baking.
I´ve got no plan but got some inspiration from a TED talk of mr Tim Ferriss just now. He talked about Fear-setting opposed to making a goal - plan. Something about making 3 pages one What if you wanted to be.. maybe start a company Define - a thing / Prevent -think of worst case scenarios/ Repair - ask for help if needed two What might be the benefits of an attempt or partial success? three the cost of inaction what if you don´t do this - 6 months/ 1 year / 3 year
Make a fear setting plan once a quarter year said Tim on his TED talk on the Youtube.
There was something about control also...
"Out of control .. dance .. go crazy" sings Leila K
(the song is about a beloved angel and quite upbeat)
so What happens in the after life?
Someone said
now Avicii will get a hug from Lill-Babs
in heaven
eventually

Lately I have not written anything at all.
I have taken som pictures with the camera in hand.
The spring has sprung once again.
It has come later than usual. Apparently the Gulf stream is weakening.
This year the ice by the north pole has melted even more.
It is sunny outside and for gardeners it is busy time to tend the garden.
No time for worrying. A is in trial for last years horrendous attack. M will get his verdict for the crime committed next week. Will KJ and DT meet and greet for real? What the heck is the Swedish Academy up to?
The bad plastic has gotten more recognition around, its everywhere in shampoo microplastic beads, in the water, in the fish, in the system, many small pieces in large piles, in the pacific trash vortex.
Music: Queen - Bicycle Race
Its time to become more aware even.
Think about what choices you make
to make that ecological footprint better
how you are living, if the house is warmed up with solarpanel, fossil free clean energy for the sake of good
where do you spend money, how are your savings longterm, and what do you support
how do you travel - its costly for the environment if you fly, drive car, better to walk or bicycle
what do you eat - friendly to the environment is vegetarian/vegan
and what desire do you have to shop for? Urge? Do you need five pair of trousers? Why do you need ten different t-shirts?

5 B sku man tänka på enligt klimatforskare hördes på Karlavagnen.
Bostad, hur bor du,
Börsen, vart placerar du pengar, besparningar
Bilen, resor som görs, går det att cykla eller gå?
Biffen, äter du kött ännu? Nej jag är vegetarian nu.
Begäret, eller så butiken vad handlar du
Den 3 mars var det en flock Sidensvansar(Bombycilla garrulus) som samlades i ett träd, ett par ringduvor (Columba palumbus)kuttrade i ett annat träd och en Skata(pica pica)satt i sitt eget träd- ett alträd tror jag.
I don't know why but its said that Guy Fawkes was the last man to go into parliament with honest
intentions. In the film V for Vendetta there is a conspiracy waiting to happen quite like in the Mr Robot storylinehas some kind of a thing against the powerful in society. A guy is standing up
against evil men.
Light a bonfire why don't you?
If there was something to do thinking about this passed months revelations for a better future
more education is needed in the subject of equality, and love is needed and more respect.
My story on #me too happened years ago but is still fresh in memory
when this man tried to kiss me against my will I slapped him in the face.
And he stopped trying further. I told him that was wrong of him. If he´d like a kiss he must ask first.
Then I walked away.

Film:
Rami Malek. as mr Freddie Mercury in a film to come 2018.
Freddie Mercury should have been 71 y old if he´d lived today.
Serie: Lookin forward to see new season of Mr. Robot that start next sunday.
Late to the admiration of Fargo, I´ve seen season 1 and it´s strange fascination considering it to have been a true story all that blood and gore. It amazes me what a man do to not tell the truth and the truth will come out in the end.
Nobel peace prize 2017: will go to ICAN - an organization against nuclear weapon that is International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. Guess what country has not signed the deal in the UN about being against nuclear weapon? Sweden.
(the YT clip above shows a scene from Äppelkriget (the war of the apples) 1971 ) Hans Alfredson: The funeral is set to next friday, 13... did he have a joke about that? A well known swedish writer, director and actor has left life on Earth. Maybe sitting on the dock of the bay with his chum
Tage Danielsson that left too soon if you believe in angels and heaven and stuff. And Gösta Ekman left earlier this summer. Remember Fröken fleggmans mustascher, also very good comedy.
Buddy Guy released It feels like rain 9th of march 1993 and performed it with John Mayer 2014
the guitar playing ends in this video with a children's song I believe is called Mary had a little lamb in a nice harmony.
Do you know or love music for the lyrics alone? Are there more rainy songs or other weathers?
I wonder...
Pope Francis told in an interview about recent events that the religion is not to blame for all of the bad
things happening. It is the others fault. The world is at war because it has lost its peace. to avoid any misunderstanding:
Quote: “I would just like to add one more thing by way of clarification: when I speak of war, I mean real war, not religious war I speak of a war of interests, over money, nature’s resources and the domination of peoples.”
“I do no speak of a religious war. Religions,” he, Pope Francis, concluded, “all religions,
seek peace. It’s others who want war. Understand?
I like that finishing line Capisce? or Do you understand?(If you look at the video of the interview the Pope speaks in italian/spanish)
Thinking
There is a sentence I have returned to think of lately and I do not know the correct
translation for it. It's a sentence from the play Ett drömspel A Dream Playby
August Strindberg(1849-1912).
"Det är synd om människorna" says Indras daughter to her father upon the return
home from a visit to Earth. At first before being to Earth, she is hopeful that love
will conquer all, but after she listens to the anguished cries of humanity,
experiences the pain of family life, and discovers that reform always will be stifled
by the self-righteous, she can look on humanity only with compassion. She finally
realizes that human beings are creatures who hopelessly harbor spiritual
aspirations but are held down by the weight of their fleshly existence.
I come to the sentence "Poor Youth", in an english translation of the work, which
is close enough.
Det är synd om människorna - direct translation word by word -
It is pitiful about humanity. That is what the daughter of Indra repeats in the play.
Indra is apparently God from India. So August Strindberg must have read about
other religions during his lifetime. The writer is known for his paintings of a
stormy sea and dark clouds, and his books and his participation in the society of
manly men, smoking cigarr, drinking and being angry.
This is the mad writers dream done into a play, he was mad it's
written down. It was a bewildering play for his time, with the not correct way of
telling a tale.
I have added to my films to watch list Ett drömspel (1963) by Ingmar Bergman
becoz I don't fell like reading, which is a shame. Shame maybe
even better translation of the swedish word synd. It's a shame about humanity.
Like the godess return home to his father and says 'I visited Earth and oh boy it's,
I feel sorry for them.' She feel pity and goes from feeling so hopeful to being
disappointed. Lesson learned may be keep your expectations at an all time low.
(The title Ett Drömspel could also mean A game of dreaming,
most swedish words have double nature meanings, it's hard to translate anything)
Anyhow. That string of words has come to mind last week,
a play writers words Det är synd om människorna that could be translated to
It's a shame about humanity or maybe even Poor souls.
After have seen some of the YT of Comic con and I can say this. I am looking
forward to the TV serie American Gods, I 've just read the book by Neil Gaiman
and to see it becoming film is amazing.
It started 8 years ago and will soon be 15 episodes, Sherlock.
Then I don't know about what otherwise was presented at the comic con
I just stop and stared at Jared Leto becoz I've had his pic from an OK magazine
since I was tiny and now he plays the Joker in a film which name escapes me but
and these three songs comes with different background stories and the word pressure is used in very
different meanings depending on from which time they're written. Don't you think that a word has
different meaning depending on in which time and space it is told?
Firstly came Under pressure(1981) by David Bowie and Queen/ Freddie Mercury,
and it became a hit song in the 1980's.
It's about love and why can't we give ourselves one more chance and it's about
the whole world. During that time when Under pressure was written the Berlin Wall was still up as a
reminder of the 2nd world war, I was in Berlin this May 2016 and and some of the wall is still there to this day(most of it was destroyed 9 sept 1989) to remind about that war and it is now there for tourists to take a look at and it seems harmless when it's just some broken wall but back in the day there was watchtowers and soldiers shooting those trespassing. And although that wall was there still people could go through, escaping from communist east to west.
Freddie Mercury and David Bowie wrote the lyrics, improvised the song.
then I heard Pressure by Ylvis in 2012, (see that I'm ignoring the Vanilla Ice cover song?)
This is a rap with lyrics about put the right amount of pressure on it, 'cause you gotta know how to,
like you're in control, the funny lyrics turn into the meaning of the pressure of the weather, which fits
the Norweigan boys, talk about the weather is a daily business.
and today I heard No pressure with Ray Lamontagne, it seems to have been released this year ,
20 jan 2016. The song is about how he doesn't want to see his loved one crying. It's rock n' roll and
that soothing voice of Ray. Anything you want to be you can be. It says not when it was written but
it's released like ten days after Bowies passing so I'm thinking about that.
And that is three songs about pressure that I've heard of. Cheers!
Last seen cinema film one week ago: The Danish girl. It's good if you feel like crying for 2h that´s the film you will see. How identity, how body and mind can be so different?
Next mission on top of all the others: Make Eddings Belgarion into a Disney stylish Peter Madsen
comic book or something ?
Cheers, Happy Easter holiday- Gla´ påsk
Je suis bruxelles, jesuisLahore, Je suis Paris, Je suis le femme - Bless them as they do not know what they do.
2015 so dark it was. in my diary the year began with Charlie Hebdo and the worry for freedom of speech globally. Twitter began #JesuisRaifBadawi soon after for the poor father of small children imprisoned for having blogged freely against an old regime. The year ended better after the climate summit made an agreement on things also in Paris like a month after another attack in Paris. People all over the world Stars have returned to heaven (anita ekberg) What does Paris matter for me livin in Stockholm then? For the western civilisation it is France which has a lot of history and I was there in Paris 2013 and hope to go visit in the future. All weapons should be banned from earth. Who needs a gun but the hunter? In these days the hunter is overdue because food vegetables are grown in the soil. All vegetarians are set. Thats a future to look into?
In January I returned to Visby for spring in Gotlands Konstskola. We learned about filmmaking, to take a photo, make a 3min film, even some stop motion. Then as it were an exhibition in May we got the time to do our own projects. Alba chose photo, Sofia body painted and photographed the dancers, Elin made a wall full of printmaking screen, some clay figure, aquarelle, a bit of this and that. Elina made three lamp shades with beautiful pattern on silk paper like, Desiree made a puzzle, Gabriel had his nice oil painting, Amanda had her scary short film and there were some thing more on display because we had two rooms at the Gotlands konstmuseum to exhibit. I had my two wooden marionettes named Joe and Dot, the wall of Visby in dry pastell (a painting that still await to be framed in a roll because it got a bit too big for the local frame maker), a 3rd thing I did combo of Percy and Marguerite from TSP and the words "the greatest thing I'll ever know is to love and be loved again" (from the song of Nature boy). Bye to Gotland and Hello Täby.
In the summer I became more involved with Roslagsmålarna, and offered to make their new homepage which is done six months later, with a little help from my friends... by halftime I threw out the first idea and begun with a new, wordpress made it easier
printmaking screen, 3 colors
This august she begun Printmaking school where she got the opportunity to make her first book "It's handmade with 200 blank white pages, sewn in and glued all by myself." Me like. Many books to come I hope for this year.
