1. Heartbreaking.
These disasters are coming so fast and so often now I don't know how these areas will recover.

2. could be cgi, is that why you say it is unreal?
But if it is then the problems would be the information system.

Maybe they created a cgi version of that after the posting of the "winds of change video." yesterday.

:shrug:

Although I am due beer and travel money, and many experiences.

3. I meant 'unreal' as in 'unbelievably tragic', not that I don't believe what I see

7. Ah I understand.
It is a tragedy, but what can a person do.

I do hope for comfort and peace for those in hardship, there and in many other hardships.


And I am due beer and travel money, and many experiences.

5. Is it me, or have you just gone beyond the pale?
Sometimes you're very funny.

Usually I just shake my head and go :wtf:???

But perhaps this just isn't the time. Or maybe it's just me. :shrug:

10. Very rarely am I trying to be funny.

I am actually being serious in most of those posts.

Do you really think I was capable of knowing that the songs I play intertwine in multiple narratives simultaneously.


literally their are multiple narratives occurring in the sequence of posts. Are you even seeing them.

Did you see the end of the stand where the guy M o o n. Light even in the darkness was to come home when the moon was full, do you notice he is caring a person in a stretcher at that point in the Dire Straits song. Did you notice that the song by Billy Joel also had "Usualdose as the Poster, and also had the lines across the sky. And the trees were palm(hand) trees.

Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5JkHBC5lDs


Stephen King's: The Stand | Calling All Angels
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_FNAhBeBZM


How about the song Winter song, also being the story of the poem of the Statue of Liberty. Which was written by Lazarus, posted on the day when people were talking about not believing that resurrection can occur.

Or a thousand other connected narratives across 100s of stories. The entire Diehard movie was in repeated posts.

Or thousands of other posts with the same connectivity beyond the ability for any person to put together.


And while the Winter song was tying in with the Statue of liberty song, it was also Tying in simultaneously with the Wargames narrative also, about not believing in lies, but love is not a lie. At the same time it was also the narrative from the ending of beyond thunder dome and shining the light over those still out there, so they can come home some day.

And 100 other things in the songs. You know what they saw on the winter song clip. A few mean interpretations of pictures on the wall of that house. Thats all. There is good and bad in everything.

Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson - Winter Song

And yea, I know they think they are suppose to take stuff, thinking I am not suppose to have anything. They don't know what anything even is, yet tell others how they should think and live, and claim to know who should have and not have, by an economic system mostly based on greed and hardship.

And I am due beer and travel money and many experiences.

And while I was being treated badly, they kept me company when I was being smeared, So I am thanking them by showing how many wonderful stories are out there, and the wonderful stories they tell.


Oh and one more thing.

This is the Colorful Angel.



And I was never asked to keep anything secret.

:loveya:

13. There is alot more
Edited on Mon May-23-11 04:54 PM by RandomThoughts
Although if I was typing everything every song says in all the different contexts it would be hundreds of pages.


(edit)
Fine be that way. You wont listen anyways.

4. Totally unbelievable.
If I didn't know better, I would think these are scenes from a disaster movie.

6. It looks as if a bomb went off.
Everything is so twisted, mangled and destroyed. :(

I wonder how that little kitten managed to survive that?

12. It is touching that the kitten survived.
It does not diminish the rest of the tragedy.

14. Have you seen this thread posted by DUer usregimechange who lives in Joplin?
He has photos of his backyard which looks like a war zone. Somehow his dog which was in that yard survived. Yet the homes all around his back yard are reduced to piles of rubble. Amazing. Terrifying, tragic and yet still amazing how selective a tornado can be.
