Modern Heroes

In Corregidor, everybody becomes a hero. Well, most everyone. Some, become inflamed with a burning desire to be heroes in their own lives. Some, however, become like Andres Bonifacio. I mean, really. Like him. With his hat and gulok. The gulok is hidden because they might arrest me for carrying deadly weapons. The one beside me is Emilio Jacinto's reincarnation. He is wearing modern shades now. The stone in front of us represents Spanish oppression. And how we will trample on them again abd again. Like, it does not mean a thing really.

Boston singer found dead

Boston Singer Found Dead

The man who helped put Boston on the map has journeyed on.

Singer Brad Delp was found dead Friday in his New Hampshire home by police who were responding to a 911 call for help, made around 1:20 p.m. ET. Delp was 55.

While the cause of Delp's death is still under investigation, according to a statement from the Atkinson Police Department, the state medical examiner's office doesn't suspect foul play and the musician looked to have been alone in his house when he died.

Boston, which at the time included Delp, producer-songwriter-guitarist Tom Scholz, drummer Sib Hashian, guitarist Barry Goudreau and bassist Fran Sheehan, hit it big in 1976 with their multiplatinum self-titled debut album, which featured the signature tunes "MoreThan a Feeling" and "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" and has sold more than 17 million copies.

Boston? Was this the group who sang "Amanda"?

Good luck, Brad.

300

300" racks up record body count at box office
Sunday March 11 1:41 PM ET

Heads rolled at the weekend box office in North America as the blood-soaked ancient epic "300" slaughtered its foes in spectacular fashion.

The grim warrior tale sold an estimated $70 million worth of tickets during its first three days of release, setting a new record for a March release, the film's distributor Warner Bros. Pictures said on Sunday.

Heading into the weekend, the most bullish oracles had forecast an opening in the $50 million range. The special-effects extravaganza, with a largely unknown cast, cost in the mid-$60 million range to produce, the Time Warner Inc-owned studio said.

Scottish actor Gerard Butler stars as Leonidas, the hunky king of the Spartans, who leads 300 of his warriors to glorious death at the Battle of Thermopylae against a massive Persian army commanded by the fey king Xerxes (Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro). Zack Snyder ("Dawn of the Dead") directed the adaptation of comic book writer Frank Miller's graphic novel.

"300" earned largely positive reviews, despite or because of its myriad decapitations and balletic battlefield carnage. The last few chart-toppers, incumbent champ "Wild Hogs," "Ghost Rider" and "Norbit" were slammed by the critics.

FEMALE APPEAL

Audiences were "hungry to go to something that looks this unique," said Mark Canton, one of the film's producers.

Even though "300" is tailor-made for male moviegoers, it also rated highly with women, because the filmmakers enlarged the role of Leonidas' queen (played by Lena Headey) to make her a "true partner" of the king, Canton said.

Its achievement was all the more noteworthy given that the previous record-holder for the month, 2006's "Ice Age 2: The Meltdown," with $68 million, was a family-oriented cartoon, while "300" is an unabashedly gruesome spectacle with an "R" rating that prevents viewers under 17 attending without adult supervision.

In fact, the opening for "300" ranks as the third-highest for an R-rated movie, behind "The Matrix Reloaded" ($91 million) and "The Passion of the Christ" ($83 million).

"300" also opened in a few small Asian markets, and reaches Britain in two weeks, said Canton. Action-packed period epics, such as 2004's "Troy," often do much better overseas.

Walt Disney Co.'s surprise hit "Wild Hogs," starring John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, William H. Macy and Tim Allen as unlikely road warriors, slipped to No. 2 with $28 million; its 10-day total rose to $77.4 million.

The next three movies were separated by less than $100,000, and rankings could change when final data are released on Monday. Disney's childhood saga "Bridge to Terabithia" rose one to No. 3 with $6.9 million, followed by Columbia Pictures' Nicolas Cage action movie "Ghost Rider" and Paramount Pictures' serial-killer thriller "Zodiac" with about $6.8 million each.

"Bridge to Terabithia" has earned $67.0 million after four weeks, and "Ghost Rider" $104.1 million, also after four weeks. "Ghost Rider" is the first 2007 release to cross the century mark; the "Ice Age" sequel took the honors last year in the second week of April. "Zodiac" has $23.7 million after two weeks. Columbia Pictures is a unit of Sony Corp . Paramount Pictures is a unit of Viacom Inc.

Come What May

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I'm loving you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Visione cieca.

Si è abbassato. Velocemente quanto esso possa.

Ma, non qualche cosa.

Vede soltanto le stelle tremolare da lontano via.

Come si muove dall'universo verso l'universo.

Il mondo non vede. E rimane cieco. I ciechi come l'occhio possono vedere.

Che l'occhio non vede. L'orecchio non si sente che cosa non può capire.

Dio. Visione. Malvagità. Umanità. Scoppio Grande.

Spera. Spera soltanto.

44 yeah!

It's 44 months na!

Child, be thou as pure...

This is a poem for my boss and friend, Candice de Ausen:

Child, oh be thou as pure, sayeth the Lord,
And mindful of black or white, wrong or right.
Never thou be far from the righteous word,
Depart not from the fixed though flick’ring light.
In times o’ darkness, when the banshee screams
Can send e’en the bravest of souls away,
E’er be the guiding di’mond of our dreams.
Deign to enthuse us wi’ thy smiling ray.
Educe thou from us countless hungry minds,
A flame that burst towards heaven; fervent
Until our sacred pursuit o’ truth finds
Sustenance. May these hearts be one as sent.
Ever be nigh, when tempests overrun,
Night will be as day, rain will be as sun.


This is a personal poem for her. Read every first letter of every line going downwards. It is also in Iambic Pentameter, and an Elizabethan type of sonnet.

I knew I loved you before I met you....Reon!
