What is your favourite song? Mine is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. They were such an awesome group and did great songs. It was ashame when Fredie Mercury died but their songs live on.

The following is part of an article from Wikipedia:

Bohemian Rhapsody" (help·info) is a song written by Freddie Mercury and originally recorded by the band Queen for their 1975 album A Night at the Opera. The song is in the style of a rock opera, and has a very unusual musical structure for a piece of popular music. Its six different sections have no chorus but both a cappella and heavy metal arrangements. Despite this, it was released as a single and became a huge commercial success. In addition, the song is widely hailed as Queen's magnum opus, and it marked a decisive point in the band's career and setting them on the way to become one of the world's most popular music groups. The single was accompanied by what is generally cited as a groundbreaking music video (then termed a "promotional video") which helped establish the visual language of the modern music video. The song was included in all of Queen's subsequent live concert performances and still enjoys great popularity around the world.

Man the song is awesome and I can see myself somewhere in the words with what is happening in my life now. The lyrics are:

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico

But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
for me
for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me

Anyway the wind blows...

Well, lets see what your favourite song is?

I am fairly new to blogging and I am wanting to know how to improve my blog.

What suggestions do you have for me?

I found out when I was about 11 that I was a twin. It was news to me.
I remeber the way I found out, my older brother told me that I was a twin.

We were born in 1962, our mother did not know she was having twins till she had a x-ray for something else and hold and behold there were 2 in there. When mam delivered us, the twin was born first and was stillborn. The hospital took the baby from the room and that was the last mam saw it. Then i was born, perfect with 10 toes and fingers.

I asked my mother about this and she confirmed that I had been a twin. I asked about the sex of the baby and she told me that she did not know. Well, I did not say anything more but through out the years I kept asking and got the same answer. Once she told me to ask her oldest brother cuase he probaly knew. I did not ask him and in later life he died and my chane had gone.My mother was upset that I kept asking but I wanted to know but did not.

Well time went on and I moved to the USA and took holiday to England. On one holiday, the family met me in Gatwick airport and we set off for home. On the M1 at ahalfway house, we were having a baon butty and out of the blue, my nephew stated that the twin was a boy. I looked at mam and she did not say anything after I asked "How come he knows the sex but I do not know" I was mad and upset by this and decided not to ask anymore.

Now, I am seeing a doctor regarding issues I have had over a long period of time. Anger and hate had built up for years because of crap that happened to me and the twin's sex. I came to the realization that I hated her and manifested as anger which I kept inside but could not release it. Working with the doctor, he made me thing about what do I want from my moter and all I want is for her to tell me personally the sex of the baby and closure may happen.

Not knowing the sew of the twin, I have felt hat I am not a complete person. I can not really explain why I feel like this. I have often thought of what the twin would look like and what we would be doing? Would I be in America or n England? Who knows?

One day I may ask my mother agian and explain to her my feelings about all this and finally get closure.

Over the past year a friend of mine as been questionong his sexuality.

It all came to a head when his wife found out that he had been looking at gay porn on the internet. When she questioned him on it, he did not deny it and said that he did not want her to find out like she did.

He spoke to his wife and told her that he was bisexual but she does not believe in bi; you are either straight or gay she told him. He came to the conclusion that he was probably gay but was having mixed feelings about it. He had not experimented with men but wanted to. He had been admiring men and women too but was looking more at men.

They talked about it and they separated for a while for him to work out what he wanted in his life, marriage or divorce. Being by himself, he had time to think and look inwards at what he really wanted in life. He did go to gay bars to try out the gay scene but felt uncomfortable being there. He did talk to guys and were interested in them and wanted to have sex with them. On one occasion, he did go with a guy but did not go into too much detail with me. He said that he did enjoy it and would do it again.
Which he did? No details were given to me, he did not want to go into too much detail.

In the mean time, he was still talking with his wife to work on their marriage and he was opening up to her about his sexuality and tings he never told her before.

After a couple of months, he finally realised that he was more Bisexual then gay and told his wife this and she finally accepted him for this. They are now back together and communicating with each other.

I am happy for him and his wife. She is a beautiful woman and did not need to treated like this and he knows that!

I hope that no one has relatives and friends that are in the Caribbean.
With the hurricane growing strength, I hope that they have all managed to get home.

Living in Arkansas, we have had remnants of hurricanes going thru the state, especially from Hurricane Katrina. We had lots of rain and wind from it. Nothing like in New Orleans and the Gulf Shores.

Hurricane David looks like it is going toward Mexico, but who knows what Mother Nature could do to turn it towards the USA. It was a category 4 from the last time I looked on the internet with winds in excess of 140 mph.

I know in the UK we have had gale for winds but not that strong.
What about the Tornadoes that Britain has had this year. The weather around the world is getting weird. It can not get weirding than it is now.

What do you all think about it?

What is time? Who really knows. We all know that there are 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in a hour, 60 seconds in a minute but who in the heck decided all this. So why do people have to time you or even themselves. If you do not get what you want to do, leave it o the next day.
I bloody hate it when people time you in doing things. For example: going to the shop, bathing or even taking a crap, getting dressed, etc etc.
Time should be cherished and loved. We are on this planet for one life so live happily and have a great smashing bonking time.

Peace and happiness to all.

MAn, the weather is damn hot in Arkansas at the moment. I have lived here for over 18 years and this is the hottest it has been. THe forecast is for the temperature to be over 100 degrees for the next week.
What is the weather like from around the world?
