OK. This is supposed to be a holiday season. But let's face it, it's often a time of extra work, of stress, of money spent, of obligations and a far different fare than the word "holiday" connotes. People are dying in the mad rush for seasonal sales, families are often unable to come together emotionally or physically and the Grinch manifested in Bush has stolen eight years of our prezzies. So, for your sake and mine, I bring you five videos that may turn that frown upside down.
Dee Lite, Groove is in the Heart.
Parliament Funkadelic Concert, The Mothership Connection.
James Brown and Pavarotti, It's a Man's World.
Gloria Gaynor, I Will Survive.
Public Enemy, Fight the Power.
Five? Say it ain't so! I'm having too much fun, remembering the good ole days. So, coz rules are made to be broken, here are a few more:
Shirley Bassey, History Repeating (remix)
Ludo, Love Me Dead.
Ray Charles, Hit the Road Jack!
And in what may be one of my favourite duos ever,
Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo, Silencio.

I really needed that, my friend. I am moving on Saturday, yep, like all my sh#t to a new place etc. It's almost enough to bring this a cute manic down. But, you got me jumping on the couch again. Thanks, Darlin'.
P.S. Have I told you lately that I love you? Ok, well, I soooooo do :)

As I'm sure you know, I'm not fond of CGI, emoticoms and smilies. But that was absolutely worth it.

Did Won Ton buy up again? I know I've been remiss in stopping by, but I worry that I'll lose you.
I have a prezzie for you, but we need to chat, coz it's a secret, K?
You are so making my life a better place, that I'm going to make a separate thingumy for you. Right now.
