TRANQUILLITY BASE (LIFE FROM PLANET NORWOOD): March 2007

OTTER LOVE!!

This is so cute!

These two otters are floating around and holding one anothers hand.

Toward the end of the clip...they let go from one another...only to get back together holding hands again.

I can see the one otter.....after reaching out and grabbing the other otter's hand.....he kisses it.

ENJOY!

ANOTHER BLAST FROM THE PAST!

OKAY...SEE YOU CAN REMEMBER THIS ONE!

Remember.....I didn't write this stuff....but I did have "the pleasure" of hearing it on the radio when I was just a kiddo.

As a matter of fact....this one was played quite frequently, as I recall.

HAUNTING SOUNDS....

I remember hearing this one on the radio, (way before) when I was in my mother's womb, and it sounded very scary to me. It was spooky!

See if you can remember it.

And then...After you listen to the original...come back and listen to this funny parody of the song.

And please...if you're taking the time to listen to these...I'd love to hear from you. Leave me a comment or two.

Otherwise...I'll never know if you remembered these tunes! :)

OKAY....TRY.....

A FUNNY JOKE FROM MY BROTHER.......CARL

Three aspiring psychiatrists, from three leading universities,
were attending their first class on emotional extremes.

"Just to establish some parameters." said the professor
to the student from OU, "What is the opposite of joy?"

"Sadness'" said the student.

"And the opposite of depression?" he asked the young lady from Texas Tech.

"Elation," she said.

"And you, sir," he said to the student from Texas A&M, "How about the opposite of woe?"

The Texas A&M student replied, "Sir, I believe that would be giddy up."

A WORLD UNKNOWN

I saw this lovely lady on CNN. Her name is Amanda Baggs and she has been rated as severely autistic.

She made this film all by herself and she then submitted it to YouTube. She types extremely fast (without mistakes) which in then turns her words into a voice simulater, which makes it possible for us to understand her. She is an amazing woman and very intellegent.

The autistic mind is such an unknown world to many of us, but with Amanda, taking the time to make her film, she has been able to give all of us a small glimpse of her and what goes on deep inside the autistic mind.

Main Entry: au·tism
Function: noun
Date: 1948
: a variable developmental disorder that appears by age three and is characterized by impairment of the ability to form normal social relationships, by impairment of the ability to communicate with others, and by stereotyped behavior patterns.
(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

Autism is still incompletely understood. Abnormalities of the brain (particularly in the cerebellum, brain stem, and limbic system) are likely to have occurred during early development. Genetic or environmental influences, a deficiency of large neurons called Purkinje cells in the cerebellum, or an excess of the neurotransmitter serotonin may also cause autism. There is no cure for autism; behavioral or drug therapy may improve some symptoms. People with the condition have a normal life expectancy.

IN MY LANGUAGE .....by Amanda Baggs

The first part is in my "native language," and then the second part provides a translation, or at least an explanation.

This is not a look-at-the-autie gawking freakshow as much as it is a statement about what gets considered thought, intelligence, personhood, language, and communication, and what does not.
