Security out !

It was a long weekend, long, long ,long...............

friday i really can't remember what i did rite now, but read this blog to-morrow and maybe my memory will have been ran.......................oh, i do remember !!!

friday was good..........................i spotted and ancipitor, racing through the rock doves near 22d & Ashland.............see pic of a sharp shinned hawk

it could have been a coopers hawk, i'm not 100% sure, but notice the 'slim slender or sleek' (this phrase a favourite of my first love.....well, shw used it once, but i remember ) body type and the tite compact wings means in this area, it was one or the other.................the real pros could know fer sure, but i am but a fledgeling, still learning how to fly...........whatever, i had to pull over on ashland, bearing the deeply important documents i was charged to deliver, just to watch the dogfight................rock doves and the 'murderous intent ' bird flew out f site without me noticing a kill....................didn't want to see it........................

friday nite was also great...........................i drove home, all exhausted, but stopped off @ the greatest thrift store of all time, the one @ 65th and kedzie (what don't believe me ?? try it, then gert back to me)....... got some cheap books and a few vcr tapes, inc a brian wilson one (wasn't made......) for $.90...............went home, and had to immed. dash because i got a "late book" letter from st. x's...........book was 4d late, and they wanted to charge me $2.50 !!!!!........i had that rather new history of the 3rd reich (micheal burleigh wrote it?? / 2003 or 2003), that i had for 2m, and i'd only gotten through the first few pages...........................it high lights the violence of the 3d reich.....read about yr self, i have to race to finish this...............since i was near, i went to #2 sister to say hello...............wanted to stay for 25m @ most, but the kids are irreastible, and they offered me pizza.....................picked off the pepperoni, and treated it like cheese...........................yum..............................then decided to stop by Z#1's, and only #2 nephew was there.............and BOLO !!!!!!!.....seems my sister was there w/ him, so upon entering, Bo jumped on me, all licking and wagging and happy and stuff....where am i , MY house ???

Then went home for the nite, no gf this nite (how did that happen ???), and i watched another of the tapes that i got, a new SNL best of w/ dana carvey........so damn tired, i only 1/2 watched it.l.....................ots of good skits, hans unt frans......also got a mike myers one, never opened as well, and monty's meaning/life in same condition........................

next day woke @ some ungodly hour, read the nyt, jammed music...............................walked mummy to mass, hoping for guidence in the readings and sermons, and it told me the WRONG THING..........................something about it being in front of you, you just have to open your eyes, while i had wanted the Holy Spirit to say "just go......."

Wasn't a bad mass, some good stuff, but my mind wandered enough to compile a list of

CHURCH SONGS I WANT PLAYED @ MY FUNERAL

(and some other church songs i really like)

"Gather us in", a mad mad mad fave from my Loyola church days, sung beautifully only by the LU choir...first church song i fell in love with, and LU a lot of times would open up with it @ the old 10.15p mass (then the 10, now #1 neice says its the 9.30p mass....................)

"3/4 allulieugh (sc)", as used by that punk band General strikes for that one song......you know.........not really a song, but should be played @ my funeral..................

"Our Father" sung as it was (still is ??) @ St. Patricks church in San Francisco c. 2000 or so..................i was there for a sunday mass then the xmas mass on the monday, then the next wkd did the double header again..they had one organist and one female singer, and it ws deeply powerful..........to this day, i do not say the "O.F.", i sing it silently in my soul so as not to distirb those who haven't been visited by the Holy Spirit in that way (and that way only)

"Immaculate Mary"................your praises we sing/you reign now in splender with jesus our king/ ave/ave/ave maria / ave/ave/ave mari-aaaaaaaaaa.reminds me of growing up in St rita parish, and jane seblewski's mom was the organist, and she had such a beautiful voice..................i wrote up about it in our Grammer schools 25y reunion booklets, and i hope she saw it and appreciated it.........................

"Someone's knocking @ the door", a spiritual brought to me by Lu's sunday nite masses..........

"Damed for all time ", wait, i want this played @ my funeral ???

"Prepare ye the way of the Lord", 1st JC Superstar, now Godspell ??

"Let it be "........the Beatles ?? well, there is the lines about Mother Mary

"O come emmanuel", except change the line "Isreal" to "Palestine"

"people look east"

"Were you there when they crucified the Lord?", spiritual, thanks LU

and finally, a funeral blues song, just for me, but for us all:

"Gory, Gory, what a hell of a way to die", an old marching song of the 101st Airborne, sung to me in my time of need from the HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers"..................there was a time when this song was deeply important to me, all 10 verses of it (ill post it here when i find it.....refer back to this page in future), and since i include it in funeral section, you can guess it was a hard time for me......................i hate churchhill, but i thought what was kool was that he had "the Battle Hymn of the republic" played @ his funeral....................this song is the same tune.......................

there are many others, but i can't rem all now, but maybe revisit this post in future for updates.........................like that one about walking on the beach w/ jesus..................and the one about being blind, but now can see....
