Voltaire's idiot, North of the 49. "Rather dead than ever wearing a toupee." — Werner Herzog Democracy dies when cowards cower in daylight. Keeping my stick on the ice, and listening to singer/songwriters.
Oh, Death, why canst thou not sometimes be timely?
in all seasons and all oceans declared everlasting war with the mightiest animated mass that has survived the flood
People ask me how I feel on the anniversary of the full-scale invasion, when bombs began to fall on peaceful cities and columns of RU tanks marched on Kyiv. To be honest, nothing special. Just another day of war, which has become part of our lives. And destroyed everything we call normal life.

On the morning of February 20, 2014, we began receiving calls on the Euromaidan SOS hotline. People were calling to report that peaceful demonstrators were being shot on the Maidan.

We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour.

“Rain makes me feel less alone. All rain is, is a cloud falling apart, and pouring its shattered pieces down on top of you. It makes me feel good to know I'm not the only thing that falls apart . It makes me feel better to know other things in nature can shatter.” ― Lone Alaskan Gypsy
