Goldwyn Morales Azul Issue#503

Out of the blue, I googled GMA (for brevity, i'll have to use this initial, even as it kinda remind me about that disastrous presidency) and it introduced me to a blogpost from Quiet Time Ramblings. Great posts and kinda GMA in detail.
I wanted to read more on GMA that very moment on that I suddenly remember taking some notes of GMA's past articles from the Flash Magazine, search for it in my file folders (real old paper and folders, not the PC kind) and was lucky enough that I did have them there all these years (25+ years in file?).
The notes that I copied started with the Issue number but I can't find the date for which it was published.
For now, the issue number will do and I might have the chance to update these with the exact details as I discover while re-reading them again in full.
For this initial post, in saluting GMA, I'll post here a part of issue number 503. 
I think this was written in those years that we are frequented by the brown-outs and quoting GMA on those years.......
"Nothing but a burning light. And finally...

Time once again to return to my hut and, well, stare at my newest cassette acquisitions. Yes, I just stared at them these days since these 5-hour power outages we're having. It's really tough. Staring at the song titles and trying to imagine what they sounds like is pretty hard work. But somebody's got to do it. And hey, keep those letters and request coming, will you? Boy, that new Style Council Compilation album sounds great.

Here, take a look!"

And I Am Trying To Think This Was All Only A Matter Of Chance.

In the "New York Herald", November 26, year 1911,
there is an account of the hanging of three men.


They died for the murder
of Sir Edmund William Godfrey...husband, father, pharmacist...
and all-around gentleman resident of

Greenberry Hill, London.


He was murdered by three vagrants whose motive was simple robbery.

They were identified as...
Joseph Green...
Stanley Berry...and
Daniel Hill.

The three men move in on Sir Edmond and knife him to death, stealing his money and jewelry in front of …
"Greenberry Hill Pharmacy."


Green, Berry, Hill.


And I Would Like To Think This Was Only A Matter Of Chance.




As reported in the Reno Gazzette, June of 1983
there is the story of a fire ---

the FIRE DEPARTMENT AIR TANKER water that it took to contain the fire...

and a scuba diver named Delmer Darion.

The fire is out and the FOUR FIREFIGHTERS are walking through as they survey the area, they found Delmer Darion IN SCUBA GEAR hanging high in the tree.


Delmer Darion, employee of the Nugget Hotel and Casino, Reno, Nevada...
engaged as a blackjack dealer.

Well-liked and well-regarded as a physical, recreational,
and sporting sort...
Delmer's true passion was for the lake.


As reported by the coroner, Delmer died of a heart attack somewhere between the lake and the tree...


but most curious side note...


is the suicide the next day of Craig Hansen...
volunteer fire-fighter, estranged father of four and a poor tendency to drink.


Mr. Hansen was the pilot of the plane that accidentally
lifted Delmer Darion out of the water.


Added to this, Mr. Hansen's tortured life met before with Delmer Darion
just two nights previous……

where a drunk and obnoxious CRAIG HANSEN, SPITS and PUNCHES at Delmer Darion's FACE for the cards he's been dealt.


The weight of the guilt...
and the measure of coincidence so large...
Craig Hansen took his life.


And I am trying to think...


And I Am Trying To Think This Was All Only A Matter Of Chance.

Robert Frost

Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.

th Lve Ltter

letters may have been lost in this classically written love letter from the movie with the same title but I know almost everybody can read this........

Dearst,
Do you knw hw in lve wth you I am? Dd I trp? Dd I stmble? Lse my blnce, grze my knee…grze my hrt?I knw I’m in lve whn I see you. I knw whn I lng to see you…Nt a mscle hs mvd.

I hve flln in lve wthout tkng a stp…You are all wrng for me and I knw it but I no lngr cre fr my thoughts unlss thy’re thoughts of you.Whn I’m clse to you, I feel your hair brsh my cheek whn it does nt. I look awy frm you smtms, thn I look bck. Whn I tie my shoes, whn I peel an ornge, whn I drve my cr, whn I lie dwn each nght…
I rmain, Yours"

such a classic.

Love, Learn, Live

I guess that ought to be the correct order...
love, live, learn.

Popoy Revisited 14 Feb 2011

Remember Popoy of Lovapalooza fame four years ago?
Reminisce…….
RP breaks world record: 6,124 kissing couples           
Date: Saturday, 10-Feb-2007 6:00 pm
Event: Close Up Lovapalooza (2007) Season 4            
Where: Open lot of the SM Mall of Asia in Manila

Waah, wala akong partner!" — Popoy

Popoy: Hi miss beautiful, may partner ka na ba?
Eh biglang dumating ang boyfriend nito
Boy: Anong problema mo, ha?
Popoy: Ah .. eh, (hehe) love and peace, pare. Cool ka lang. Gusto ko lang kasing halikan yang GF mo …
Boy: Gago ka ba?
Popoy: teka, teka muna … pero pupusta ako ng 100 pesos, mahahalikan ko sya ng hindi gagamitin ang labi ko.
Girl: Oh, really? Sige ba.
At biglang hinalikan sa lips yung babae, habang nakatulala ang nanonood na boyfriend, sabay sabi,
Popoy: “Talo ako, sayo na ‘tong 100 pesos”

 
What’s this post all about? Don’t get me wrong. I never meant to be a KJ.
This is posted not of hate. On the contrary, this is posted that the truth be known and no one be fooled, conformed to the world and its follies.
I love you that much!
