My OC Fuchsia with her first design that I made of her back in 2007~2008! (＾＾)ｂ
A falu, ahol majdnem meghaltunk :D
Jól el vagyok maradva a blogolással, mert nem volt net meg húzós két nap volt eljutni Olaszországba, kikerülve az autópályákat (nem én döntésem, szerintem faszság, nem spórolás) Naszóval szombaton megálltunk egy kis faluban (Pulszt). Ez ilyen mész az országúton, hirtelen jobbrafordulsz, felmész a hegyre, fura, hogy ott is élnek emberek, van pár ház, a falu. A templomhoz tartozó mifenében volt a szállásunk.Parókiának túl nagy, apátságnak túl kicsi. Nagyon rendezett környék, nagyon szívélyes fogadtatás, ahogy beléptünk a hatalmas kapun, na onnantól kezdve lett fura érzésem. Az udvar összevissza tele minden lommal, meg vidám kutyával meg állatokkal. teszek is ide képet:
Helló, röfik!
A szállás (miután felmásztunk a meredek grádicson) meglepetést nyújtott az udvar után, egy hatalmas, makulátlanul tiszta, mindennel felszerelt, amúgy eklektikus berendezésű apartman volt. Mintha a berendezést adományokból hordták volna össze. Teljesen megfelelt, tényleg. Az ablakból ráláttunk a tavacskára meg a fura kis házakra az úton. Na, meg is néztük őket.
A házaknál már mondtam, hogy így kezdődnek a hororfilmek. Itt vannak a kis vidám turisták, tök gyanútlanok, pedig észrevehették volna az apró jeleket, pl az udvaron szanaszét szórt holmikat, mintha utazók mindenféle cuccai lennének, és a fura, szokatlan kis tákolt házakat, amiknek tiszták az ablakai, mégis olyan hangulata van, mintha nem laknának benne, az ajtók felett a felirat jelzi, hogy idén is meg lett áldva a ház, de vajon mi ellen, amikor az ablakokban ismeretlen vallás jelképei lógnak, a temetőben a sírok szorosan egymás mellett, szigorú rendben, mint valami mánia, a fű csíkosra vágva mintha a rendezettség a belső feszültséget próbálná elfedni, és sehol egy lélek az utcán. Figyeljék meg, hogy reggelre lemészárolnak minket és feletetnek a malacokkal. Nem paráztak, azt mondták írjak regényeket. :D
Találtunk szamócát. Mondtam, hogy ne egyék meg mert van valami növény, ami pont úgy néz ki, de rohadtul mérgező. Addigra már megették. Este felfedeztünk egy pávát a háztetőn, aki magányában egész éjjel rikoltozott. Lehet, hogy valami védőszent volt, mert végül nem haltunk meg reggelre. :D Sajnos a mobilom szar képeket csinál, és én sem értek a fotózáshoz, de volt egy izgalmas rész furcsa hegyoldallal és érdekes erővonalakkal. Azt még ideteszem.
És mentünk tovább... úgyhogy ebben a játékban nem az első helyen halt meg a csapat.
Billy Eckstine
William Clarence Eckstine (July 8, 1914 – March 8, 1993) was an American jazz and pop singer, and a bandleader of the swing era. He was noted for his rich, resonant, almost operatic bass-baritone voice. Eckstine's recording of "I Apologize" (MGM, 1948) was awarded the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999.
The New York Times
described him as an "influential band leader" whose "suave bass-baritone and "full-throated, sugary approach to popular songs inspired singers like Joe Williams, Arthur Prysock and Lou Rawls."
Biography
Eckstine's paternal grandparents were William F. Eckstein and Nannie Eckstein, a mixed-race, married couple who lived in Washington, D.C.; both were born in 1863. William F. was born in Prussia and Nannie in Virginia. His parents were William Eckstein, a chauffeur, and Charlotte Eckstein, a seamstress of note. Eckstine was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; a State Historical Marker is placed at 5913 Bryant St, Highland Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to mark the house where he grew up.Billy's sister, Maxine (married name Whedbee), was a well-respected Spanish teacher at Taylor Allderdice High School in Pittsburgh.
He attended Peabody High School before moving to Washington, DC. He attended Armstrong High School, St. Paul Normal and Industrial School, and Howard University. He left Howard in 1933, after winning first place in an amateur talent contest. He married his first wife, June, in 1942. After their divorce in 1952, he remarried shortly after to actress and model Carolle Drake in 1953, and they remained married until his death. He was the father of four children by second marriage and two step-children, including Ed Eckstine, who was a president of Mercury Records, Guy Eckstine, who was a Columbia and Verve Records A&R executive and record producer, singer Gina Eckstine, and actor Ronnie Eckstine.
Heading to Chicago, Eckstine joined Earl Hines' Grand Terrace Orchestra in 1939, staying with the band as vocalist and trumpeter, until 1943. By that time, Eckstine had begun to make a name for himself through the Hines band's juke-box hits as "Stormy Monday Blues" and his own "Jelly Jelly."
In 1944, Eckstine formed his own big band and it became the finishing school for adventurous young musicians who would shape the future of jazz. Included in this group were Dizzy Gillespie, Dexter Gordon, Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Charlie Parker, and Fats Navarro, as well as vocalist Sarah Vaughan. Tadd Dameron, Gil Fuller and Jerry Valentine were among the band's arrangers. The Billy Eckstine Orchestra is considered to be the first bop big-band, and had Top Ten chart entries that included "A Cottage for Sale" and "Prisoner of Love". Both were awarded a gold disc by the RIAA.
Dizzy Gillespie, in reflecting on the band in his 1979 autobiography To Be or Not to Bop, gives this perspective: "There was no band that sounded like Billy Eckstine's. Our attack was strong, and we were playing bebop, the modern style. No other band like this one existed in the world."
Eckstine became a solo performer in 1947, with records featuring lush sophisticated orchestrations. Even before folding his band, Eckstine had recorded solo to support it, scoring two million-sellers in 1945 with "Cottage for Sale" and a revival of "Prisoner of Love". Far more successful than his band recordings, these prefigured Eckstine’s future career. Eckstine would go on to record over a dozen hits during the late 1940s. He signed with the newly established MGM Records, and had immediate hits with revivals of "Everything I Have Is Yours" (1947), Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart’s "Blue Moon" (1948), and Juan Tizol’s "Caravan" (1949).
Eckstine had further success in 1950 with Victor Young’s theme song to "My Foolish Heart," and the next year with a revival of the 1931 Bing Crosby hit, "I Apologize".
His 1950 appearance at the Paramount Theatre in New York City drew a larger audience than Frank Sinatra at his Paramount performance.
Eckstine was the subject of a three page profile in the 25 April 1950 issue of LIFE magazine, in which the photographer Martha Holmes accompanied Eckstine and his entourage during a week in New York City. One photograph taken by Holmes and published in LIFE showed Eckstine with a group of female admirers, one of whom had her hand on his shoulder and her head on his chest while she laughed. Eckstine's biographer Cary Ginell, wrote of the image that Holmes "...captured a moment of shared exuberance, joy, and affection, unblemished by racial tension." Holmes would later describe the photograph as the favorite of the many she had taken in her career as it "...told just what the world should be like". The photograph was considered so controversial that an editor at LIFE sought personal approval from Henry Luce, the magazine's publisher, who said it should be published. The publication of the image caused letters of protest to be written to the magazine, and singer Harry Belafonte subsequently said of the publication that "When that photo hit, in this national publication, it was if a barrier had been broken". The controversy that resulted from the photograph had a seminal effect on the trajectory of Eckstine's career. Tony Bennett would recall that "It changed everything...Before that, he had a tremendous following...and it just offended the white community", a sentiment shared by pianist Billy Taylor who said that the "coverage and that picture just slammed the door shut for him".
Among Eckstine's recordings of the 1950s was a 1957 duet with Sarah Vaughan, "Passing Strangers", a minor hit in 1957, but an initial No. 22 success in the UK Singles Chart.
The 1960 Las Vegas live album, No Cover, No Minimum, featured Eckstine taking a few trumpet solos and showcased his nightclub act. He recorded albums for Mercury and Roulette in the early 1960s, and appeared on Motown albums during the mid to late 1960s. After recording sparingly during the 1970s for Al Bell's Stax/Enterprise imprint, the international touring Eckstine made his last recording, the Grammy-nominated Billy Eckstine Sings with Benny Carter in 1986.
Eckstine made numerous appearances on television variety shows, including on The Ed Sullivan Show, The Nat King Cole Show, The Tonight Show with Steve Allen, Jack Paar, and Johnny Carson, The Merv Griffin Show, The Art Linkletter Show, The Joey Bishop Show, The Dean Martin Show, The Flip Wilson Show, and Playboy After Dark. He also performed as an actor in the TV sitcom Sanford and Son, and in such films as Skirts Ahoy, Let's Do It Again, and Jo Jo Dancer.
Culturally Eckstine was a fashion icon. He was famous for his "Mr. B. Collar"- a high roll collar that formed a "B" over a Windsor-knotted tie. The collars were worn by many a hipster in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
In 1984 Eckstine recorded his penultimate album, I Am a Singer, arranged and conducted by Angelo DiPippo and featuring Toots Thielemans on harmonica. Eckstine's final recordings were made in November 1986, with saxophonist Benny Carter and released on the 1987 album Billy Eckstine Sings with Benny Carter.
Illness & Death
Eckstine suffered a stroke while performing in Salina, Kansas, in April 1992, and never performed again. Though his speech improved in hospital, Eckstine later had a heart attack, and died a few months later on March 8, 1993, aged 78. Eckstine's final word was "Basie".
Tributes
His friend Duke Ellington recalled Eckstine's artistry in his 1973 autobiography Music is My Mistress: "Eckstine-style love songs opened new lines of communication for the man in the man-woman merry-go-round, and blues a la B were the essence of cool. When he made a recording of Caravan, I was happy and honored to watch one of our tunes help take him into the stratosphere of universal acclaim. And, of course, he hasn't looked back since. A remarkable artist, the sonorous B." ... "His style and technique have seen extensively copied by some of the neocommercial singers, but despite their efforts he remains out front to show how and what should have been done."
Sammy Davis, Jr. made several live appearances and impersonated Eckstine. Not just for comedy reasons, but because Eckstine was a close friend and a supporter of Martin Luther King. Eckstine was a pallbearer at Davis' Funeral in 1990.
Quincy Jones stated in Billboard: "I looked up to Mr. B as an idol. I wanted to dress like him, talk like him, pattern my whole life as a musician and as a complete person in the image of dignity that he projected.... As a black man, Eckstine was not immune to the prejudice that characterized the 1950s." Jones is quoted in The Pleasures of Jazz as also saying of Eckstine: "If he’d been white, the sky would have been the limit. As it was, he didn’t have his own radio or TV show, much less a movie career. He had to fight the system, so things never quite fell into place."
Lionel Hampton: "He was one of the greatest singers of all time.... We were proud of him because he was the first Black popular singer singing popular songs in our race. We, the whole music profession, were so happy to see him achieve what he was doing. He was one of the greatest singers of that era ... He was our singer."
The Title of a 1956 promotional movie by the C. G. Conn Company, Mr. B Natural, is derivative of Eckstine's nickname "Mr. B." (The title character bears no resemblance to Eckstine.)

Azt tanultam egyszer,
hogy az intim* kapcsolat ismérve, hogy akármekkora bajban vagy, amikor találkozol a másikkal, és minden vágyad az, hogy kibeszélhesd a bajaidat, kettő perc alatt leveszed, hogy A MÁSIKNAK NAGYOBB SZÜKSÉGE VAN A SEGÍTSÉGRE MINT NEKED. És hagyod, hogy ő beszéljen, könnyebbüljön meg, kapjon támogatást tőled. Akkor is, ha rád is rádférne. Egyrészt a kapcsolat nyilván tartalmazza azt az időtlenséget, hogy majd lesz még alkalom, amikor te kapsz támogatást, másrészt a másik ember előtérbehelyezése segít a saját gondjaink legyőzésében. Tudod, ha látsz egy csonttá soványodott etióp kisgyereket, akár egy teljes napig is úgy tudod érezni, hogy fasza kis életed van valójában. Ha meghallgatod a barátodat, lehet, hogy azt fogod gondolni, hogy nekem legalább ez meg ez meg ez nincs. Hát neki tényleg nehezebb. De van amire a nehéz helyzete sem jogosítja fel az embert. Tegnap a villamoson hallgattam egy család beszélgetését. A nő megjegyezte, hogy látta a villamosból az egyik söröző teraszán valami ismerősüket. A férfi erre elmondta, hogy az az ismerős egy fasz. A nő erre mesélni kezdett valamit arról az ismerősről. A férfi közölte, hogy nem érdekli és a nő már megint beszél, de jobb lenne ha nem tenné. A nő értetlenkedett (ahelyett, hogy leszállt volna a villamosról és kezdett volna egy új életet egy olyan férfival aki legalább minimálisan tisztelni tudja őt.) és innetől a vita a következőképpen alakult: A férfi folyamatosan minősítette a nőt (hülye vagy, unalmas vagy, locsogsz, nem tudod felfogni) a nő pedig leragad annál, hogy ő semmi rosszat nem tett, csak folytatta a férfi gondolatmenetét az XY-ról. Erről próbálta győzködni a faszit, hogy az tök normális beszélgetés, hogy ő mond valamit, aztán a pasi is, arra ő is. Valójában nagyon egyszerű emberek voltak, kellemetlen élmény volt hallgatni az egészt. Közben az járt a fejemben, hogy vajon, de tényleg, ezek az emberek miért élnek együtt? Tudnak róla, hogy járna nekik a szeretet, a megértés, a figyelem és a tisztelet? Hogy másmilyen kapcsolatot nem érdemes fenntartani? Nem tudják mert nem tanulták meg. Nem tudják, mert talán a képességük sincsen meg rá, hogy ezekkel az érzésekkel forduljanak valaki felé, és ilyen kapcsolatot tudjanak kialakítani. Hogy ez tanulás vagy genetika, ezt nem tudom. De egyre több hasonlót látok, maximum nem ennyire primitÍv emberektől, de a lényeg ugyanaz. Valami hiányzik belőlük és az életük így ebbe a lefelé menő spirálban halad. Na mindegy. Szörnyű élmény volt. Hogy jön ide az eleje, az, hogy érzed, hogy a másiknak inkább van szüksége a támogatásra, mint neked? Mert képesnek kell lenned rá. Ha nem vagy képes, nem is lesznek igazán minőségi kapcsolataid. És úgy tűnik, ez a képesség egyáltalán nem evidencia. *ismét leszögezem, ismeretterjesztési célból, hogy az intim kapcsolat nem azonos a szeuális kapcsolattal, sem a párkapcsolattal, bár nyilván ezekben gyakoribb és több szintű, ezért ehhez kötjük a fejünkben, de az intim kapcsolat valójában azokat a kapcsolatokat értjük amikor a mi valamilyen szintű intimitásunk találkozni tud egy másik ember intimitásával intellektuális: megosztjuk egymással a tapasztalatainkat, gondolatainkat, vágyainkat, társas: baráti társaságban közös időtöltés érzelmi: érzelmeink egymással való megosztása, lelki: hitünkről való eszmecsere, fizikai: kézfogástól, a csókolózáson keresztül a szexuális együttlétig a testi érintés, érintkezés.
Társkeresős miaszöszök
Nem keresek benne semmi értelmet és várni se várok semmit. Kb úgy tologatom a férfiakat, mint a ruhákat a ruhaboltban. Borzalmas, rémes, ennek jó az anyaga, de rövid, ez milyen szép, csak kár, hogy magasan záródik, ez gyönyörű, de hova venném fel, ez szörnyű, uncsi, uncsi, ha nagyon kéne ezt felvenném, ez drága, ez nevetséges az én koromban, ezt felpróbálom, ez nem, ez nem, ez nem. A legszimpibb pasassal nem tudok mit kezdeni, mert külsőleg meg nem tetszik. Tragédia. Persze ő meg odáig van értem. Nem akarok nagyon barátkozni vele mert az ilyen egyoldalú elragadtatottság csak méltatlan helyzetet szül. Azokat kedvelem akik törölnek miután rájönnek, hogy oké, kölcsönös volt a tetszés, de semmi közünk egymáshoz amúgy. És ott van a nem is tudom mennyi, de elég sok, akik meg nem írnak. Nyilván ők is csak tologatják a nőket a nőboltban és rám mondták, hogy ez nem rossz, de arra már nem veszik a fáradtságot, hogy felpróbáljanak. Én meg eldöntöttem, hogy ha fene fenét eszik is, ha maga a negyvenéves Harrison Ford jelenik meg a társkeresőben, én akkor sem írok neki. Azoknak az időknek vége. Minden alkalommal, de tényleg, amikor én indítottam el a kapcsolatot, abból az lett, hogy én is mozgattam, mintha kizárólag nekem lenne fontos. Kérdezgetés, figyelés, próbálkozás. Energiapazarlás. Értem én, hogy a nők is kezdeményezhetnek, de minek? Hogy szerezzen egy szorongó, gátlásos vagy egy lusta vagy egy nárcisztikus faszt? Kezdeményezzenek a pasik, hogy nyerhessenek egy szétszórt, bolondos, vidám, okos, vicces, szexis, érzékeny, kreatív, impulzív, nyitott, lendületes, határozott, nem főzős, állatszerető, jófej nőt, mint én. Amúgy helyesek meg beszélgetősek, csak... hát, nem. Várok valamit, magam sem tudom, valami olyat amit pár pasi visszaigazolt akikkel beszélgettem, hogy hű, ez nagyon nem szokványos amiről beszélek, ez nekik nagyon új és megkapó, szóval azt, hogy valami ilyet érezzek amikor beszélek egy férfival. Hogy legalább egy pici ideig sajnáljam, ha nem ír többet. Uh, megettem egy szúnyogot :( (írás közben kávézok és beledöglött a kávémba. Remélem fürdött reggel mielőtt elindult repkedni) Nem vagyok ráfeszülve arra, hogy most aztán találjak valakit, de közben jó is lenne. Rendes, igazi kapcsolat azok nélkül a borzalmas szarságok nélkül amikre csak azutóbbi időben döbbentem rá, hogy miben éltem az elmúlt években. És még csak kapcsolat sem volt, nem is jártunk, nem is dugtunk, csak pórázon tartottak. Néha sajnálom őt, néha dühös vagyok, de nem akarom saját magam mérgezni a mindennapjaimat, inkább mással foglalkozom és másokkal.
Csak van valahol egy férfi, aki színben, fazonban, méretben és anyagban is jó!

Smith started his own clothing/lifestyle brand called MSFTSrep. The clothes range from hoodies and T-shirts to trousers and vests. In May 2013 Smith collaborated with a Korean designer, Choi Bum Suk, to create a pop-up store in which customers can buy clothes with their collaborated logos.
In April 2014, Smith was cast in the film The Good Lord Bird, which is based on the 2013 novel of the same name by James McBride. Smith plays Henry Shackleford, a young slave living in Kansas Territory in 1857 who encounters abolitionist John Brown.
Personal life
Smith was in a relationship with Stella Hudgens, the younger sister of actress and singer Vanessa Hudgens, and she is reportedly mentioned in his song "Starry Room".
Smith's father, Will, revealed that his son sought an emancipation ruling, with the consent of his parents, as a fifteenth-birthday present. Will revealed to the media that Smith's primary motivation is the establishment of his own residence and also explained that his children are not subject to strict parenting conduct: "We generally don't believe in punishment. From the time Jaden was five or six we would sit him down, and all he has to do is be able to explain why what he did was the right thing for his life." However, Smith and his father appeared together on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on May 15, 2013, and Smith said:
The thing that people don't get is everything at his house is free. So I can get anything and everything at his house, so I'm going to be there for 20, 30 more years. He [Will Smith] says that as soon as I have a movie that's bigger than one of his movies I can get my own house.
A November 2013 media report indicated that Smith was dating reality television personality and model Kylie Jenner. Jenner wrote in social media in July 2013, "Although we can't remember exactly when we met, I couldn't be more grateful that we did."
