Pink Floyd + Lego

two things I love, I’ve always loved and which I will love for ever and ever: PINK FLOYD and LEGO!Now imagine how wonderful it would be if someone would make Pink Floyd videos using Lego figures and Lego bricks…well, just googling I found some cool things… here they are as an easter egg for you!!

1. the classic “Live at Pompeii” – Lego version! (fantastic!!)

2. “In the flesh?” + “The thin ice”, Lego version! (the video quality is not “that” good, but anyway worthy!)

3. “Hey you”, Lego version – very creative, well done!

Happy Easter!!!

Goodbye, Arthur!

I can barely believe Arthur Clarke is dead!

Arthur Clarke, the “C” from my beloved “Sci-Fi ABCD” (Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke & Dick) left this planet today. 

He’s written some of my favourite books and some of his ideas have influenced not only the science fiction, but the real science itself!

Thank you very much, Mr. Clarke! Thank you for everything you gave to us!

You will never be forgotten!

——————————————

from the Rotten Tomatoes:

Arthur C. Clarke, the science fiction novelist whose bestselling books included 2001: A Space Odyssey and 2010: The Year We Make Contact, has passed away at the age of 90.Clarke, who had suffered from post-polio syndrome for decades, died in what the Associated Press described as “his adopted home of Sri Lanka.” An aide told the AP that Clarke passed away after experiencing difficulty breathing.

Though best-known as a science fiction writer, and perhaps most closely identified with the series of books he started with 2001 and continued through to 2061 and 3001: The Final Odyssey, Clarke had a wide variety of skills and interests. A few of his non-sci-fi accomplishments, as listed by the AP:

He was credited with the concept of communications satellites in 1945, decades before they became a reality. Geosynchronous orbits, which keep satellites in a fixed position relative to the ground, are called Clarke orbits.

He joined American broadcaster Walter Cronkite as commentator on the U.S. Apollo moonshots in the late 1960s.

Clarke’s non-fiction volumes on space travel and his explorations of the Great Barrier Reef and Indian Ocean earned him respect in the world of science, and in 1976 he became an honorary fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Divorced since 1964, Clarke had no children; he did, however, make plans to have his DNA sent into space, joking with the AP that “One day, some super civilization may encounter this relic from the vanished species and I may exist in another time. Move over, Stephen King.”

33 + 5

in 9 days I’ll “celebrate” my 33rd birthday and my 5th year living in Europe.

“Celebrate” is completely ironic. No problems with living in Europe for 5 years now! Actually that’s the only good thing in the whole story.

But… 33?? I mean, THIRTY THREE!!!!

Well, I am no Christian, but at the age of 33 was Jesus’ life already fucked up! – And that’s how I feel now.

I did nothing notorious in these last 33 years.

My mom used to say, when I was a child: “you’re special. You came to this world to do special things. To shine and to be brilliant and successful and to be a great professional and a memorable person”.

Mom, you were wrong.

I am – and I have always been – an ordinary person, with average intelligence, average appearance and not even talented.

I cannot play any instrument. Or even sing (I have an ugly voice btw). I didn’t write a book. I have an ordinary, average job. I didn’t manage to accumulate wealth. I didn’t get married, I didn’t get annoying loud highly skilled kids, I didn’t build anything. I am not gorgeous or athletic… I didn’t even manage to practice any kind of sport. I never found the way to the high society. I’ve never been famous or notorious for anything I’ve done or for any natural talent or characteristic.

I am just… an ant. Just an ordinary-just-like-everybody-else-ant.

And now almost an ordinary-just-like-everybody-else-33-years-old-ant.

Why is all that for? What for? I am getting old, nothing can change that. I not even have the urge to build or do anything good, just because I won’t be here to see the fruits of my labour. So… there’s no reason to do anything.

Well, that’s it.

Hmmm… and the funny thing is: I’ve written all this shit to a very good friend (who’s also as young as I am), and she answered:

…ok it is all normal to feel like that …

there is no way out unless – you do the James Dean thing

She’s right… she’s totally right! And that’s exactly what I’ll do: I’ll do the same thing James Dean did:

- I’ll dye my hair blond (ok, I know he was natural blond)

- I’ll buy me a cowboy hat

- I’ll spend the rest of my life making sexy faces 

… well, what were you thinking? If I cannot be notorious, at least I can have fun!!!

(and consume as much alcohol as I can to forget how cruel time can be!!! *grins*)

in the KISS mood

ok, since I have already the tickets to the KISS concert in Vienna on May, 12th, I decided to share some brazilian urban legend (some people say it’s really true!) about the band.

Fact: there was a fucking good band in the early ‘70 in Brazil called “Secos e Molhados” – nothing to do with rock and roll, but still a fucking good band (for the open-minded who appreciate all kinds of good music).

The legend: This band used a kind of B&W makeup – very similar to KIss’ style – years before Kiss started to adopt the makeup!!

Well, some people say Kiss stole the outfit, some people say “Kiss never heard of the brazilian band before”.

Anyway, I have googled a little to offer you some more infos. At least it’s about a fucking good band from my homecountry
