Yeah, it's Sunday. Go back to bed.
Ten Year Anniversary of Drums Around the World is an annual simultaneous world wide drumming day. Saturday and Sunday, August 23 & 24 in Amherst, MA.
Stones postpone London gig as Jagger falls ill with flu.
Recall Bush
George W. Bush has failed to provide our country with responsible and effective government. Sign the petition. [via: samizdat]
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character..." I still cannot see or hear these words without some formidable reaction--- tears, chills, quiet contemplation. August 28, 1963, and now coming up on the 40th Anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" Speech which was celebrated this weekend. Race relations still have a long way to go to make that dream a reality; but the seed was planted with King's influence on that August day in 1963. (Tom Paine site weighs in)
Today's Quotation
If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: "I used to be angry every day; then every other day; now only every third or fourth day." When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.
~Epictetus (c. 55-c. 135 CE), Phrygian Stoic philosopher The Golden Sayings of Epictetus
Visiting this site is like one long orgy of euphoric joy.
