Sometimes I have some sleeping troubles, some people blame the coffee , some other adviced hash , the neurologist gave me triptanol or something like that... I hated all that bollocks...

Good luck Jesus , your dad is drunk!... have you got his mobile number? please!!!... Yesterday I phoned " heaven's customer service " someone picked up and asked me to wait for twenty three years...

Ma! I need my morphine, the sun has gone...needles & blades Autumn collection/06

Being self indulgent and very very apologetic for a two or three weeks absence (the reasons though were out of my own control and vary from a stint of repetitive head aches, flu, loads of work, and the end of holidays to of course a huge component of inexcuasable lazyness- I am posting a quick one. This time I want to share a video by Morphine . Morphine was formed by Mark Sandman and Dan Colley in 1989 in Cambridge, Massachussets . They combined blues and jazz and gave to the band a unique sound, the instrumentation they used was also very unusual which make its music highly poignant. Morphine was disbanded after Sandman's death in 1999 on stage in Italy due to a heart attack . Although Morphine was a great band it was not commercially successful .

Stasia Therese Angela Micula

Stasia Therese Angela Micula más conocida como Samantha Fox nació un 3 de Diciembre de 1951 en New York. Entre 1977 y 1984 ésta pequena pero voluptuosa actriz dió lo mejor de si ante las cámaras filmando una cifra record de más de cien peliculas pornográficas, alternando escenario con destacados actores del medio y siendo dirigida por reconocidos directores como Chuck Vincent (del cual me vine a enterar al investigar sobre Samantha). Su tesón y entrega ante las cámaras fué justamente honrado al ganar en dos ocasiones el "Adult Film Association of America" a mejor actriz de "reparto" por "Jack 'n' Jill" parte 1 en 1979 y "this lady tramp" en 1980. Luego de desfilar por diferentes escenarios Sammy decide convertirse en una artista integral y lanza su carrera como cantante pop, sobra anotar que aunque su carrera músical fué meteórica, más alcanzo cierta popularidad.(popularidad mundialmente reconocida entre los jovenes de la epoca,

Robert Indiana ::::LOVE::::

Robert Indiana (born September 13, 1928) is an American artist associated with the Pop Art movement. Indiana was born Robert Clark in New Castle, Indiana . Indiana moved to New York City in 1954 and joined the pop art movement, using distinctive imagery drawing on commercial art approaches blended with existentialism, that gradually moved toward what Indiana calls "sculptural poems" . Indiana's work often consists of bold, simple, iconic images, especially numbers and short words like "EAT", "HUG", and "LOVE" (this last shown above). He is also known for painting the unique basketball court formerly used by the Milwaukee Bucks in that city's U.S. Cellular Arena, with a large M shape taking up each half of the court... read more
