Petros Shatakhtsyan:

Good thing she didn't grow on her ass :)


P.S. Or maybe she had some kind of connection with a rhino ?


And it turns out that this is a very common situation (no kidding).
Especially if you always have a runny nose.

 

The hurricane has intensified. Outside the window is just buzzing ...
We should listen to Weather Report.

 

Weather Report Live - Birdland

The legendary band Weather Report, some members of which translated into jazz-rock Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky.
This Birdland (that's the name of this composition) is a hooliganism of the classics, so to speak.


 

Another world-famous hooliganism from the classics - the band Rundown of the Weather, a composition - Rumba Mama - MAMA - emphasis on the last syllable.

1976 by the way.

Russia's amateur national football team became world champions



The Russians were quick to take the lead, leading 2-0 at the end of the first 25 minutes. In the second half, the Latin Americans twice reduced the deficit to one goal but could not level the score, and in the end, exposing the rear, conceded a fourth goal. The score was 4-2 in favour of Russia, according to LIFE


So I'm sitting here thinking, "Is this interesting or is it humour?

Россияне быстро ушли в отрыв и к исходу первой 25-минутки вели 2:0. Во втором тайме латиноамериканцы дважды сокращали отставание до одного мяча, но сравнять счёт так и не смогли, а в концовк
 

And to complete the theme of despondency and hopelessness in our lives, here's tragic music: The Crimson King (whose music has been compared to that of Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich), and their famous composition.

Classical musicians can joke around in music, but also create significant works in other genres.

In The Court Of The Crimson King (1969)

The song is called "In The Court Of The Crimson King" from the album "Schizoid Of The 21st Century", which was released in 1969 (it was back in 1969 that clever people understood what we would be living in this 21st century).


The wall on which the prophets wrote,
Cracking at the joints.
On the implements of death.
The bright shine of the sun.
When every man is torn apart
By nightmares and dreams,
Will no one lay a laurel wreath
While silence muffles the cries.

Between the steel gates of destiny
The seeds of time have been sown
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and are recognised.
Knowledge is a deadly friend,
If no one has laid down the rules.
The fate of all mankind, as I see it.
In the hands of fools.

Confusion, - will be my epitaph,
As I crawl through the cracks of a broken path.
If we make it - we can all relax and laugh,
But I'm afraid that tomorrow I'll be weeping,
Yes, I'm afraid that tomorrow I'll weep.

 

It's hailing (and as always, with hurricane force winds and rain). So on to the positives.
