The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows

"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I don´t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain't about how hard you hit... It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That´s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying: You ain´t what you wanna be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain´t you! You´re better than that!" (Rocky Balboa)

Thank you, Rocky!

Flash Gordon: Queen - The Hero

So you feel that you ain't nobody
Always needed to be somebody
Put your feet on the ground
Put your hand on your heart
Lift your head to the stars
And the world's for your taking

So you feel it's the end of the story
Find it all pretty satisfactory
Well I tell you my friend
This might seem like the end
But the continuation
Is yours for the making

Yes you're a hero!!

----------------------
In 1934 a legend is born - Flash Gordon takes off on his very first adventure, drawn by the young comic book artist Alex Raymond.
This is a tribute to The Hero!

The song - the last track from the Flash Godron (1980) soundtrack by Queen, THE HERO - if you ask me one of the greatest songs ever!

The animation - Filmation's Flash Gordon: The Greatest Adventure of All (1982)

And I just love it!

Nenko :)

I'm named after my grandfather, Nenko, my father's father. Nenko is not a common Bulgarian name like Georgi or Ivan, yet it's not really unusual. When I talk to people, especially foreigners, they sometimes say that my name sounds Asian, like Japanese or something...

So, here's what its all about (in Japanese):

Pronounced
"nen"

Means:
Year


Pronounced
" koh "

Means:
Service



"Nenko" means a long period of service, literally "years" and "service".
It can also be translated as ''seniority'' ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nenko_System )

David Bowie - As the World Falls Down

"As the World Falls Down" by David Bowie from the film "Labyrinth".

Music #21

Bla ми хвърли ръкавица и аз приех предизвикателството :) 7 албума които бих взел със себе си на самотен остров. Както ще си проличи малко по-долу винаги съм бил повече киноман от колкото меломан и за мене музиката е не просто звучене, но и визия. И понеже бройката е ограничена, а изборът е голям - предпочетох да сложа в куфара предимно компилации и антологии, а последния албум мисля даже да си го събера сабственоръчно и да си изпека едно CD преди да отпътувам ;)
