R.I.P.

The whole world is crying.

Oh MY GOD,
Michael Jackson has died, he was only 50 years old.


Last night we heard that Michael Jackson had been rushed to hospital with a suspected cardiac arrest. They had called the paramedics to his home and they tried to resusitate him but there was no rsponse.

We have lost the greatest man that ever lived.

Not just through his music, but his love for the people, his fans, and this earth he lived on.
He was a very kind, gentle, generous man who, through his music, gave us hope, peace, and a lot of happiness.

I saw him a few years ago at Sheffield when he was doing his 'history world tour'
It was the greatest time of my life to see him live and watch his fantastic dancing.

One of my favourite songs, and there are many, is 'The earth song'
He asked, where are we going? What are we doing to each other?
Peace was he main abjective in life.


We have lost one of the finest men that ever lived.

I just cannot believe that Michael has died.

You are in heaven with the angels now, give them your messages of peace and love.


Let us thank god for the time you were here.

No-one can replace you.

There will never be another you.

The whole world is broken hearted.

We love you Michael.

God bless you for always.

Thanks again.

Well, it's been a while again hasn't it? Since I blogged I mean.
I am reading yours but just don't seem to have time to blog myself. Never mind, I will get back into it once geoff is better.
Talking about geoff, he is doing very well but the worrying thing is he has to go back to hospital because his rate is still going to fast and it is now irregular. They have told us that what they do now is stop his heart and re-start it (!!!)
However this is a day job, he won't stay in, he will need someone to drive him home.
OMG, they do that in a day???
We don;t know when it will be we are waiting for the appointment. So, they have told us he is not an 'urgent' case.
In fact talking to different people about this we have found out that they have had this done and they are fine now. So, thats a very good sign.
Will let you know what happens when it does.
I have had a bit of trouble getting geoff out of the house actually, he was just sitting in his chair and not doing nuffink.
Well, the doctors have told us that there is fact nothing wrong with his heart at all, this is just a bleep, so geoff should behave as normal, but he didn't. We can all guess why, but as I told him, he's doing more damage by sitting around and not getting any exercise. So, after a few words, and yes, it did get a bit heated (well, I did!) I must admit, I finally got him out of the house.
I took geoff into town and we had a lovely walk around for about an hour, we met some friends and they were talking to him and that made him feel better, the second day we just went for a walk round the block and so it went on. The next week he went into his normal routine and even done the shopping! So, thats the road to recovery, isn't it?

So, what do think about the election results then, eh??
Not surprising that labour lost a lot of seats. I think we knew that was going to happen.
LOL

Anyway, I was going to say enjoy the summer sun but.......it is now raining.
Typical.

Speak to you soon.

As you probably know I have been looking after geoff since he came out of hospital and I haven't had much time to either blog or read them as well.
However, I managed to read one of favourite blogs the other night and I must admit I found it fascinating.
The blog I'm referring to is David Farleys.
He did a blog about a man called Chris Cole who is the founder of Cross Rhythms of Plymouth community radio stations. and he recently wrote an article in a newspaper about the
"Anti American feeling"
His first words were:
"An American is English or French or Italian Irish, German, Spanish,Polish, or Greek."

When I read what he had to say about this I kept wondering what this reminds me of and I must admit it took me a while to realise that it was the lyrics of that great song by Donovan.
"Universal Soldier"
"He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain,
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew."

Now, I know he was not referring to anybody who may have been in a war, past or present, but his words just echoed the words to this song.
Anybody is American and anybody can be English or French or Italian or German, Spanish, Polish or Greek.

Please read Davids blog (April 16th) and see if you agree, do you think it reminds you of Donovans Universal Soldier?

Below is the words to Donovan song 'Universal Soldier' so you can see the similarity of Chris Coles words and the song.

I cannot get this out of my mind and been singing this song ever since!

Universal Soldier.


He's five feet two and he's six foot tall,
He fights with missiles and with spears,
He's all of thirty-one and he's only seventeen
Been a soldier for a thousand years.

He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
And he knows he shouldn't kill and he knows he always will,
Kill you for me my friend and me for you.

And he's fighting for Canada
He's fighting for France, he's fighting for the U.S.A.
And he's fighting for the Russians
And he's fighting for Japan
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way.

And he's fighting for Democracy, he's fighting for the Reds
He says "It's for the peace of all"
He's the one who must decide, who's to live and who's to die
And he never sees the writing on the wall.

But without him
How would Hitler have condemned him at Labau?
Without him Caeser would have stood alone
He's the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war
And without him all this killing can't go on.

He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame
His orders come from far away no more
They come from here and there and you and me
And brothers can't you see
This is not the way we put an end to war.
