Bliss you

Today’s Photography 101 (which I take part in) the subject was: Bliss. That got me an idea for a post.

Bliss

Bliss is to stay in bed without having to get up early

Bliss is to see a smile on persons face

Bliss is seeing the sunset from a train window when you travel to another city

Bliss is having a roof over your head

Bliss is waking up in the morning and see snow out of your window

Bliss is staying up late when everyone else is asleep

Bliss is drinking hot chocolate when it’s cold outside

But what bliss is the most

Seeing the new trailer to The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies and knowing it’s only a month to the movie

Try to find the irony in this

Will you find any irony in this post? I still don’t know what the real meaning is. Irony is not what Alanis Morissette sings about in ‘Ironic’. So thank you so much, Alanis. All these years I thought that’s what you’re singing about. But no, no, no. When the lyrics say “Isn’t it Ironic”, it should be “It isn’t ironic” Maybe that’s the joke in the song. Singing about irony when it’s just about bad luck. Sarcasm I can do, which is closer to irony (I looked it up) but irony itself just makes me feel dumb. Listen to lyrics in English doesn’t make me smarter either. That’s the reason I’ve never cared for song lyrics. It’s all about music.

Speaking of which. Music was my first love. I always loved music. It’s a good remedy for everything. I feel really old when I hear about new bands or singers. I don’t follow the music scene the way I used to so I’m out of the new ones. I don’t really care about them anyway. Music these days is quite awful. Some are good but most of them are crap to put it nicely. I prefer bands and singers that have been around for years. Like Duran Duran.
Now there’s a band that never gets old. Even songs they’ve released over 20 years ago, still sound like they were made yesterday. Try that with new bands these day. Will their music still sound great in, let’s say, 30 years? I very much doubt it. Duran Duran still together even. They are a good example how a band can stick together no matter what happens. They’re so popular that even MTV banned their video ‘Girl Panic!” Which is silly really because music videos are much worse than that. All they had were 2 girls kissing each other when other bands or singers videos have half-naked people in them.

Difficult to write irony things when you don’t even know what it means. Actually I know what it is but I have no idea how to write irony. I’m talentless like that. I know I can write but I don’t know how to write irony.

So did anyone find any irony in this?

A scene in the woods

A scene in the woods

Jesus Christ meets Mary Magdalene. She felt guilty and wanted Jesus forgiveness. They meet in the edge of the forest in Jerusalem.

Mary Magdalene: Dear Jesus, I have sinned

Jesus: What is it, my child? What can be so bad?

Mary Magdalene: I have helped a helpless man

Jesus: That’s not a sin. Helping your fellow-man, is not a sin

Mary Magdalene: He wasn’t helpless. I thought he was

Jesus: Tell me more

Mary Magdalene: His name was Judas and he told me he wanted my help

Jesus: That’s still not a sin, my dear

Mary Magdalene: It was Judas, the man who betrayed you. Please forgive me

Jesus: Even the baddest person deserves help. You did nothing wrong by helping this man

Mary Magdalene: It was I who told him where you were and I feel guilty for doing so. It was I who thought he needed help. But he just wanted to know where you were. It’s because of me you will be crucified

Jesus: It’s not your fault. You’re forgiven even when there’s nothing to forgive.

With that, Jesus laid his hand on her head and Mary Magdalene gratefully thanked him. Then they parted ways. Neither of them knew they would never meet again.
