Yigidim Yigit

Below, I have written the words of the song titled 'Tutusur Dizelerim', which will not make total sense to the English speaking world, however, the melody, and pure beat of the song will be effective.  If anyone would like to know what Ahmet is singing about and/or translate this song, let me know... 

Yigidim yigit, olmasın aya,
Yanık turkulere vurmayın beni,

Tutusur dizelerim, dizelerim sonra,
Her biri yıldız kendi halinde) 2

Geceleri inen, inen sessizlik,
Umarsız acan, eski yaradır,

İste gene yükseldi duvarlar,
Etme gozlerim, koru kendini) 2

Ayıklasam dize, dizelerimden,
Acıyı donus, duvar nemini,

Kirli gomlegimi, koklarmıs annem,
Koklasın siirimi, sıcak bir ekmek gibi) 2

Sincerely,

Editorial Letter Sent to Edmonton Sun

The editorial of Wednesday, April 8th, 2015 titled 'If you don't vote, don't complain' was rather laughable.  Please find it on the net, below is my email reply to 'Sun Media'.

          Sun newspaper 

-------------------------

Hello,

Your editorial titled 'if you don't vote, don't complain!' is rather short cited.  

As citizens of Alberta, Canada, we have been through many provincial/federal elections.   There have been many politicians which have come and gone, however the promises made and then forgotten as soon as the 'office' is secured, are numerous.  

You might not want me to bring forth many of the so called 'taxes will not go up' speeches made, and afterwards in the comfort of a government salary/pension secured, the proclamation of 'well they need to go up', scenarios are many.  

Also, an intellect such as you, a reporter/editor working for the media should figure out by now that a politician only serves the benefit of him/her self, not the constituents.   

Therefore, the media is reading the low figures of the turnout at election day, as people being lazy or comfortable. 

We the people are informed and do not buy into this game of 'elect me, I will work for you'.  This rhetoric is old now, therefore many citizens are not voting.   

But, do not insult us and state 'don't complain'.    We pay over 40% of taxes in this country, and have children/parents in the government institutions, therefore allow us to make our points heard, even if we don't vote.  

Since, my email is getting rather long, in another email, I will write to you of the alternative ways to elect and govern the people, but this format that we have is now old, corrupt and even immoral.  

Finally in yet another email, I will further explain to the editors at sun media that our province is not protected by the borders any longer.   There are other individuals who have a say in how they want to be governed.  The ruling parties in each province/country are always rotating from governing to opposition party, but the ruling elite are always the same people/falmilies/organizations; who are the pinnacle of the elite, who rule with their own agenda, and my vote counts as much as the second hand movement of the 4th dimension.   

Thank you for reading, if you made it thus far, 

Ben

The Free Fall

The Free Fall

The markets today had one of its worth days.  The loss was over 2%.  

The main reason for the bad day was the worldwide debt, particularly Greece's debt.  Also, the markets are waiting for the decision of this country, wether Greece will stay or leave the European Union.  We all need to wait the outcome.

My Dear Helen

My Dear Helen

I came by the below information of the actor Peter Cushing.  We all know him as the 'Dracula hunter' and some of us have recognized him in the original 1977 Star Wars movie.

Great actor, he was.   

     Rip Mr Cushing

Here is the information I wanted to bring to everyone's attention.   

In 1971, Mr. Cushing withdrew from the filming of 'Blood from the Mummy's Tomb' following the death of his wife, actress Violet Helene Beck.  He was married to Violet Helene since 1943.  The following year, he was quoted in an interview as having said, "Since Helen passed on I cannot find anything; the heart, quite simply, has gone out of everything.  Time is interminable, the loneliness is almost unbearable and the only thing that keeps me going is the knowledge that my dear Helen and I will be reunited again some day.  To join Helen is my only ambition.  You have my permission to publish that ... really, you know, dear boy, it's all just killing time.  Please say that."

I hope everyone finds their one and only true love, as Mr Cushing, surely knew he had. 

Sincerely.
