If I Was a Blackbird — KelticDead
May 17th
This pretty, sad little traditional tune and song has been arranged and re-arranged over its 150 or so years to reflect the feeling of separation that occurred during a time in Celtic history when men (and women) either worked or travelled over the oceans. I rewrote the lyrics in the third person to reflect a view of the often, very poor women who were often left behind, as their sailing men went to sea. I play it with a G-diatonic Hohner harmonica.
destroyer of humanity!
May 16th
the superiorphone is looking for a way to destroy human race. A landline telephone (also known as land line, land-line, main line, and fixed-line) refers to a phone which uses a solid medium telephone line such as a metal wire or fiber optic cable for transmission as distinguished from a mobile cellular line which uses radio waves for transmission. In 2003, the CIA reported approximately 1.263 billion main telephone lines worldwide. China had more than any other country at 350 million and the United States was second with 268 million. The United Kingdom has 23.7 million residential fixed landlines.[1] In 2008, the world had 1.27 billion fixed line subscribers.[2] RoboSapien is a toy-like biomorphic robot designed by Mark Tilden and produced by WowWee toys. The RoboSapien is preprogrammed with moves, and also can be controlled by an infrared remote control included with the toy, or by either a personal computer equipped with an infrared transmitter, and an infrared transmitter-equipped PDA. The toy’s remote control unit has a total of 21 different buttons. With the help of two shift buttons, a total of 67 different robot-executable commands are accessible. News is the communication of selected[1] information on current events which is presented by print, broadcast, Internet, or word of mouth to a third-party or mass audience.One theory claims that the English word “news” developed in the 14th century as a special use of the plural form of “new”.

The Sun – Rapunzel – Major Arcana Audition *Revised*
May 10th
So initally I auditioned for Rapunzel as The Sun tarot card. But I used Amalthea as her True Form. THERE WERE TOO MANY UNICORNS / AMALTHEAS!! So I changed my audition, Rain is much easier to work with anyway, and I got to tie in a bit of Celtic mythology as well. I hope to continue using Celtic mythology with the character, becuase I think it fits. Though if it doesn’t fit in with other mythologies of the RP I’ll tone it down. =P I actually like this alot more, and I think the character and True Form fits better. It was hard to explain a unicorn assosiated with the sun, it isn’t really the best fit. x3 Rapunzel really does match The Sun’s ‘traits’ though, as the Sun card right side up represents radiance, optimism, positivity etc. Upside down the card can represent the opposite of those things, wouldn’t it be interesting to have the dopplegangers running around? The negative versions of the card? I’m not sure all people agree that tarot cards mean the opposite when upside down, but if that’s the case…. Hmmmm…

It’s me again walking about Purt le Moirrey – part 8
Apr 28th
We’ve nearly finished our trip around the Port (only one more after this to go). The text reads as follows: There was a shelter built on the Carrick Rock and there was enough room for seven men.There were seven sailors in a Nickey and so there was enough room for the whole crew. In 1848 the Scooner Lyra from Port st Mary struck the rock. Captain of the boat, Master Petherick was thrown over, went under and was drowned. There wasn’t a lifeboat in Port st Mary at that time and they had to get a boat from Port Erin (I mistakenly say Port le Moirrey here again!) in order to help. They managed to save the three others from the boat as it was going under.

Paul Mounsey-Celtic Music
Apr 26th
La poesia è di William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) Loreena McKennitt ne ha fatto una sua canzone dal titolo “The Two Trees” (I Due Alberi) Su musica di Paul Mounsey questa stupenda poesia, quì sotto la traduzione in italiano: I Due Alberi L ‘albero santo sta crescendo là Originano dalla gioia i sacri rami, E i tremuli fiori tutti che ne vengono I cangianti colori del suo frutto Han dotato le stelle d’un’armonica luce La certezza della sua occulta radice Ha impiantato quiete nella notte L’agitarsi della sua chioma frondosa Ha donato alle onde melodia E sposato le mie labbra con la musica Per te mormorando una canzone di mago Là i figli di Giove compongono un cerchio L’ardente cerchio dei giorni che ci appartengono Rotando, ergendosi su e giù In quelle grandi vie frondose inconsapevoli Ricordando la chioma tutta scossa E degli alati sandali il guizzare I tuoi occhi crescono pieni di tenera cura Adorato, fissa lo sguardo nel tuo proprio cuore. Non volger più l’occhio nello specchio amaro Che i demoni, con la loro astuzia sottile Innalzano di fronte a noi quando essi passano O solamente per poco tempo fissalo Giacché vi cresce un’immagine fatale Che la notte tempestosa accoglie in sé, E radici mezzo nascoste dalle nevi E rami rotti ed annerite foglie. Poiché cose malate portano a sterilità Nel fioco specchio che recano i demoni Specchio della stanchezza esteriore Fatto allorché Dio dormì nei tempi antichi Là, attraverso i rami rotti, vanno I corvi del pensiero senza riposo …

The Tain, An Táin bó Cuailgne. New Irish music based on the Iron Age heroic epic of CúChulainn.
Apr 19th
www.lorcanmacmathuna.com The Iron Age Irish heroic epic, An Tain. An Old-Irish legend of Celtic mythology in which Cúchulainn defends Ulster from queen Maev’s invading confederate army. This epic saga of the heroic age, the central story of the Ulster Cycle which revolves around the brown Bull of Cooley, is the greatest Celtic legend and the most fascinating story in the Irish language or any other. An icon of Irish culture its has been set to new Irish music by the Táin project. Blood is spilt on the Tain as the armies of Ireland are checked by the lone warrior, Cú chulainn, who holds them off for a winter while the Ulster warriors lie beneath the stupor of an ancient curse. Set to the music of Lorcán Mac Mathúna, Eoghan and Flaithrí Neff, Seán Óg Mac Fhirléinn, and Martin Tourish. World Premier in Armagh’s William Kennedy International Piping Festival. Commissioned by the WKPF. An Táin Bó Cualigne (the Cattle raid of Cooley) is over 2000 years old. The words used in this production were taken from the Book of Leinster which was compiled between 1150 and 1220 AD. The William Kennedy International Piping Festival commissioned Lorcán Mac Mathúna to produce this modern musical interpretation. The World Premier was performed in Armagh CoI Cathedral on November 13th at the 2010 festival.
THE LOCH NESS MONSTER ?
Apr 19th
Urquhart castle, Drumnadrochit, April 13th, 2009, 13.00 hrs with black chopper in attendance – and the usual low flying buzz of the witness … it must have shown up on somebodys special local sonar .. for the chopper to get there … because the monster went sub surface 13.15 hrs and wherever the chopper came from it was circling the monster there is a lot of rounded light brown stuff sitting high up and well out of the water in those blurry shots at 6-800 metres – its a lot longer and a bulkier protrusion from one angle than any seal head 1.21, 1.31, 1.36 1.40 – so the only question is can a seal fill itself so full of air that it can almost float on top of the water
Adrian Cain ayns Purt le Moirrey Part 6
Apr 16th
The text reads as follows: This is the Albert in Port st Mary. Once it was called the Temperance Hotel but I’m certain that there aren’t many sober people going there now. Anway, when I was young there were loads of pubs here but now there are only two, which is a pity. But I have to say, with certainty, that the Albert is the the best pub in Port st Mary and without any doubt that the Albert is the most Gaelic pub in the South, perhaps in the Island. Anyway, I’m off in for a little bit to eat and something to drink.
