At the end



I can't even remember when i heard this music for the first time. All i know is, that it went through me like a double sided sword, and made me very emotional. Since then i listened to it (and played it myself) a zillion times, under very different circumstances in all kinds of places. And although the melody stays the same, i feel more and more enriched, empowered, engulfed, and saddened by it, every next time i'm letting myself float on the waves of this incredible expression of Mascagni’s soul . That’s why i made sure to hear it for a last time, when i depart from this life. At that time, there will be no tears, no mourning, and no speeches. Only an intermezzo.

    Yes, I censor reader comments, and for good reason. You wouldn't believe the hateful drivel some readers expect me to publish, much less read.

    Trust me, we're all better off for comment moderation.

  3. Ah yes trust. Another vanilla concept introduced by the patriarch to get his enemies off guard.

    Btw, what have ur comments to do with the topic of my blog "At the end"?

  4. My my, but you seem fixated on judging all people of a gender alike.

    Isn't that usually called bigotry or prejudice?

  5. Using the word "seem" is highly correct in this case, as it shows ur subjectivity on the matter, and maybe also ur irritation caused by me (grin).

    "all people"? Isn't this usually called a generalization, on which, among other things, prejudices r based?

  6. Lol, i just noticed: U became my follower today, and left again a little while later. With all ur efforts and babbling on ur blog about femdom, u couldn't even cope with a little virtual dominance deviating from ur views. Rofl.

    By Lilith, it never varies!

  7. Head bowed, eyes closed - a silent thanks to all that enriches, empowers and engulfs. And eery morning - a thank you for another day, another opportunity to earn and deserve it.

  9. I came back here after a long time, and then i realized what an incredible prick this Saratoga actually is, coming here with his egocentric drivel about censoring people, completely ignoring the topic of this blog, even never answering when i asked him about this.
