Star-Spangled Random Gibberish

Well, they are both around 60, right?

Funny. Most of the time when the Quakes are on the road, we listen to tunes all day, then watch soccer. Today, we watched music all day and will listen to soccer.

 

You're going to hate me for saying this... but Fox8 (the Australian broadcaster airing the whole concert) is treating the music with much, much more respect than that.

And on top of that, if you missed a performer, and have Foxtel Digital, you can catch that performer two hours later on Fox8's backup channel, plus, Triple M radio is airing the whole thing (albeit on delay themselves, perhaps due to legalities and rights obligations).

 

And yes, Pink Floyd and their stage show.... simply amazing.

That's what I woke up to this morning.

 

Neil is on in Canada right now!

No Crazy Horse, though.

 

I have Pink Floyd, Keane, and the Killers performances uploaded on my Livejournal.

Everyone has to check out the Pink Floyd concert. It was so awesome. I'll hopefully have more tomorrow. But for now, I have to concentrate on the game.

 

My friends,

My 16 year old nephew was killed yesterday in a dirt bike accident in Michigan.

For those of you who pray please say a prayer for my family. For those of you who don't please will to me the courage to step off that plane tonite and begin the grieving process with my brothers, my sister-in law, my mom, and my nephew's 13 year old brother. Please will me the strength to help my son - who grew up with his cousin - through this. They were 3 months apart in age.

How much tradegy can one family take. We've had 5 deaths of immediate family members in 8 months. This one is unfathomable for me as a mother of a 16 year old. I can't stop crying. My son and I just got back from spending two weeks with my brother and his family 2 and a half weeks ago. I'm terrified that this is going to push my mom over the edge.

Thanks for having a random thread for me to get this out. I'm absolutely devastated and feeling quite desparate myself.


Please hold your kids. And tell them that you love them dearly.

 

yalpstel, I know nothing can really be said that can help you through this truly tragic time. I just want you to know that I'm praying for you, your family, your mom and especially the parents and brother of your nephew. I cannot even imagine how it must feel for all of you. Prayers and thoughts will be sent your way; I hope you will find all the strength and courage to get through this in each other.

 

I'm sorry, Becky. My prayers go with you.

 

My sympathies and prayers are with you and your family yalpstel.

 

Be strong! I for one will pray for you and your family.
love,
B.

 

yalp~ I don't know what to say, but please know that you and your family are definitely in my prayers.

 

that's sad, im sooo sorry

prayers are with you and your family

 

Yalpstel, your family and yourself are in my thoughts. I hope everything goes as okay as can be expected during this time.

 

I'm so very sorry to hear of your family's loss. As a parent myself, it makes me shudder when I hear such tragic news. Having only one child--a 10 year old daughter--if I ever lost her I don't know that I could go on. Yet, somehow I imagine our strength comes from our faith and from within. My prayers and thoughts go out to your family...I wish you that strength.

 

I'm so very sorry for you and your family.. this is just heart breaking and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

All the best, and remain strong.

As far as being terrified about whether this might push a family member over the edge, I know about that all too well, after the death of my father. That's what's happened to one of my brothers, and recovering from that is (as he puts it) a never-ending process. Even my wife is still coming to grips emotionally over losing her grandfather... and he passed on over 20 years ago, she says.

If you need to vent, you know where my PM box is at.

 

Done...........

 

Yalpstel - so incredibly sad after reading your post. You are most definitely in my prayers.

 

Man I know! I was watching TV and some King Kong special came on a while ago. I wasn't really watching the screen and I heard him talking and was all looking around for Peter Jackson. It took me a moment to figure out that was him.

 

Yeah, I was watching the AFI give George Lucas a life time achievement award and Peter Jackson was in a segment and I just couldn't believe what a major changed he'd made. Wow!!
