geekfreak Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have to travel to Charlottetown Prince Edward Island, try and find that on a map! I Hotel room booked, and ready to go in a few weeks. I'm happy that I don't have a regular 9-5 because as much as sometimes I wish I did, it is nice to sort of just make my own plans every week. The downside, people phone me at all hours of the day. Overall not a bad a gig I guess on the map lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh air is always a great way to clear the mind and find an excuse to get some exercise Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! its a less is more day as we`ve nothing planned to do I`ve been hoping to chill without cooking and eat out with Mrs GF. isn't there any suitable ways to seek out the happiness state of mankind... I know the feeling, we order out a lot it seems. Thai, Indian, and also this healthy sandwich/salad place. It's nice that you get to be spontaneous and to travel a bit, Charles. I would go nuts if I was forced into a regular 9-5 after maybe a year I think. The freedom to plan my day or week or month as I see fit is one of the reasons I do what I do.

SozoZoso Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 ^^ I always thought of music and art being a perfect form of escaping. As soon as my headphones are firmly attached to my ears, I'm on vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planted Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Remembering 70 years since of the liberation of Auschwitz. Thank you for posting this, SozoZoso! It was reported today that a decade ago there were 1,500 survivors present at an anniversary event. Today there were 300. I have had the profound and humbling occasion to meet a survivor of 4 camps, including Auschwitz...he recalls as a young man being in the presence of the monster, Dr Mengele. Imagine that for a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had the profound and humbling occasion to meet a survivor of 4 camps, including Auschwitz...he recalls as a young man being in the presence of the monster, Dr Mengele. Imagine that for a second. The youngest of the remaining survivors are in their seventies now. Very soon the Holocaust will pass out of living memory. When I was a kid, my parents patronized a dry cleaner that was owned by Holocaust survivors though I didn't realize this at the time. It wasn't until the husband died and our local newspaper ran his obituary that I understood why he had a numeric tattoo on his wrist.

Patrycja Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I came here to post about the 70th anniversary of Auschwitz being liberated, and am glad to see that it has already been spoken about. EDIT: CNN is airing a special TOMORROW night (WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28TH, changed from tonight) at 9pm: "VOICES OF AUSCHWITZ" http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2015/01/08/cnns-wolf-blitzer-to-host-voices-of-auschwitz-jan-27-at-9pm-et/ It's been said that people with numbers on their wrists and forearms are holy. It is a blessing that we still have survivors among us, that they give voice to their experiences and those of the silenced, and that we get to hear them. A slide show "Ghosts of Auschwitz": https://ca.news.yahoo.com/photos/ghosts-of-auschwitz-1422029261-slideshow/ This one still makes my throat and stomach tighten even in pictures. I saw it as a kid before leaving Poland and remember the overwhelming sense of loss and cruelty. Countless... This one stands out because it marks a time when names became numbers. Now their names are remembered again and that is good and just.

SozoZoso Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I remember once watching a documentry about the children and grand children of Nazis who were based in those camps and how they felt disgusted at the thought of what their Nazi realitives had done. There was even a brother and sister whos father was a Nazi and these two people went to certain lengths to "wipe out" any trace of their Nazi realtive, including having hysterectomys so they will never have children who will carry a murdering Nazi gene in them. There was one guy who was the grandson of one (I cannot remember the name) but he visited Auschwitz and came face to face with a group of Jewish students. He told them who he was and one student looked at him and asked "what are you doing here??". This fellow then said he wanted to bury the memory of his Nazi realtive and asked the student to forgive him. There was such sencere honesty and humbling that this guy had literally went onto his knees in front of the Jewish student, cried and begged for forgivness. I myself became very tearful watching it. Very hard stuff to watch as well. I was screened in the UK over a year ago but dunno if it was shown anywhere else. If I get the time, I will try to find a video of it on Youtube and post it here.

SozoZoso Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 That photo of the suitcases above reminds me of a comment that I had read just a few days ago, only it was to do with a photo of thousands of shoes in Auschwitz. All shapes and sizes.. men, women and children. And the comment was that those shoes "where walked in through the gates, never to be walked out again" You can only imagine.

geekfreak Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 I`ve been researching the "RENAISSANCE" through the many books I`ve gotten losing myself in each painting and architecture of the 25/16 centuries wonderful... right now I`m just hmm finishing the freaks of my own inner mixed parts of topics... then I`ll be searching for which piece of music to listen to!... I must state I`m sorted out the music within which order to hear the music in, which isn't as ease as you`d think... there`s a plan of action to sort out the to do piles of to read/listen or watch lists as Mrs GF isn't to happy with the plié`s to keep moving them when doing the housework, but I`ve moved them everywhere and backwards again... to the newer reads I`ve been slow at getting the books started which is way that's the biggest pile... there mostly about musicians...

Both of my grandfathers traveled to Europe for WW2. As a young child I would go with them on Remembrance Day in Ottawa and lay a wreath at the nations memorial. One of the 2 grandfathers in particular would cry in public and I felt so horrible for him that from that moment on I refused to cry in front of anyone. It's good that you reminded people of those events, because sometimes it's easy to forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a good book on John Lennon by his 1st wife which seems to be an honest read of his life. Also, check out the one by his young girlfriend while he was on "vacation" or whatever the fuck he called it. It seems like a good read as well. Mel Torme wrote an EXCELLENT autobiography called "It Wasn't All Velvet" which details his feelings and relationship he had with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis and he discusses at length his failed relationships from his 2 divorces. Also check out Keith Richards, he wrote a pretty raw and honest book on his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SozoZoso Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have found the documentry on Youtube, it is called "Hitlers Children" It is very upsetting so be warned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K_OL-nY5JA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
