CODE 10

OK this is a man down code 10 situation if I ever heard of one. I woke up this morning, watching bloomberg television (don't ask because it's not like I have any money to speak of), and the generic anchor woman with her immovable hair announced that if an agreement was not reached between Viacom and Time Warner Cable by midnight tonight, TV networks including but not limited to MTV and VH1 would be pulled. I clutched my pearls. Now this whole recession thing is going to damn far. Riddle me this how am I suppose know what's going on with Whitney from The City, or Brody from Bromance??? Cue the sad music and strike up the violins

HAPPY NEW YEAR

So with the new year fast approaching I started thinking about the song that is always played, Auld Lang Syne. I don't know anyone who knows the lyrics to this so I decided to do some research.

by Rabbie Burns (1759-96)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.

And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne

Auld Lang Syne is a song recreated by Robert Burns that is about celebrating and getting sloshed with old friends. People will be slurring this all around the world tomorrow, but I'll most likely get it in like this:

R.I.P. EARTHA

Champagne Taste - Eartha Kitt

Eartha girl you will be missed.  I don't even recall the first time that I was introduced to her work, but what I do know is that Miss Kitt was the personification of class, style, and grace. Whether it was twirling with Katherine Dunham, purring sassy music, or giving us everything we need on stage/TV/ silver screen,  her creative legacy will continue to live on forever.  Orson Welles was right when he said that she was 'the most exciting woman in the world".  Eartha Kitt's talent?........... C'est si bon!
