Top Of The Mascalzone

Bentornati! La scorsa volta vi avevo parlato del nuovo singolo di Beyoncè, If I Were A Boy e adesso vi faccio vedere il suo video! Infatti è già in rete il video del singolo. Il video è in bianco e nero ed è molto bello. Bey nel video veste i panni di una poliziotta (molto sexy aggiungo!XD) ma poi si scoprirà che……bhè non ve lo dico! Godetevi il video!

E dopo If I Were A Boy passiamo a l’altro singolo di Beyoncè: Single Ladies. La canzone è molto energetica, mentre il video è molto semplice. Comunque pur nella sua semplicità il video è carino e mostra tutte le doti di ballerina di Beyoncè. Anch’esso è in bianco e nero e magari vi può sembrare monotono, ma guardatelo! Ne vale la pena!

Voto:8+

Adesso passiamo all’ultimo nuovo video di questa settimana. Si tratta di Womanizer, nuovo singolo di Britney Spears. Una Britney che sembra si sia rimessa a posto e sia pronta per fare un grande comeback! La canzone è molto orecchiabile anche se per i miei gusti è troppo elettronica. Infatti la voce di Britney mi sembra troppo rimodellata, ma la canzone non è niente male e anche il video è carino! Enjoy it!

Voto:7/8

Pillole Dal Passato

Eccoci arrivati alla parte finale della mia rubrica. Oggi vi propongo Killing Me Softly dei Fugees, cover dell’omonima canzone di Roberta Flack del 1973. La canzone, che quando ero alla medie ce la facevano sempre cantare, merita davvero anche solo un ascolto e il testo è molto dolce e, allo stesso tempo, molto espressivo!

Restate Sitonizzati!

अपनी क़िस्मत पे नाज़ करते

विनय — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 13:04:17 +0000

अपनी क़िस्मत पे नाज़ करते, ग़ुरूर होता
जो कभी तेरे लबों से हमारा मज़कूर होता

अगरचे हमने छुपाया राज़े-दिल तुम से
डर था तेरी निगाह में यह ना क़ुसूर होता

तुमसे कुछ न कहा इसमें ख़ता हमारी थी
बताता दर्दे-हिज्र जो ना मजबूर होता

क़िस्सा-ए-इश्क़ मुख़्तसर था बहुत
इक और मोड़ होता तो ज़रा मशहूर होता

तुमने मुझे देखकर जाने क्या सोचा होगा
काश मैं शक्ल से ख़ूबसूरत थोड़ा और होता

क्या हम ना पाते अपनी मोहब्बत को
गर हमें अपनी वक़ालत का शऊर होता

हम-तुम मिल ही जाते सनम इक रोज़
जो इश्क़ में आशिक़ों का मिलना दस्तूर होता

हैं आलम में वही रंग नये-पुराने, यादों के
तुम भी होते परेशाँ तो मज़ा ज़रूर होता

तड़प-तड़प के मैंने यह ग़ज़ल लिखी है
काश मेरी क़िस्मत में वह जमाले-हूर होता

पल-पल बिगड़ रहा है हाल तेरे बीमार का
ऐ 'नज़र' काश कि आज को वह न दूर होता

शायिर: विनय प्रजापति ‘नज़र’

If you're pre-born, you're fine, if you're pre-schooled, you're fucked. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. Pro-life, these people aren't pro-life, they're killing doctors, what kind of pro-life is that? What, they'll do everything they can do save a fetus, but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it?

• George Carlin

Why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't want to fuck in the first place?

--> George Carlin was like a relaxed weed-smokin’ version of Lenny Bruce, brash but amiable, and talkin’ our language – when I was a teenager, it was like he was the Beatles or the Sex Pistols to comedy – as the old dutch street radical sign read: Better long hair than short sighted. It’s hard to believe that hair was once one of the most vociferous and treacherous of battlegrounds between us & them, kids and parents... I was sad to hear that Carlin died because I liked that he was irreverent, chancy, poignant and goddamn funny AND he was able to somehow make his way onto straight TV. He pointed out the hypocrisy of straight society at every turn but most famously with his skit: "Seven Words You Can Never Use on Television".

--> The press is victim and culpable in the mess people find themselves in today. The press in the US and many Western and nonwestern countries does not report the full news, the hardest of the hard, it is in cahoots with governments and thus despicable. And yet, there are brave journalists, some news orgs that sometimes publish or broadcast news for which they are branded and fall into a syndrome of kill the messenger. It’s amazing, I mean you have to sympathize with reporters. When they report the news [negative!] they get blamed for presenting too much negative news. When they reprot happy stories they are not doing their duty by presenting all this fluff and human interest. The problem with newspapers and reporters and politicians and overpaid sports stars and criminals is that despite what the average joe, jan and jean might say, protest, sputter to the contrary, they are no worse than the average person and sometimes better. Anyway...

REPORTERS WITHOUT BORDERS: FOR PRESS FREEDOM / ANNUAL REPORT 2007

Reporters Without Borders announces its third annual worldwide index of press freedom. Such freedom is threatened most in East Asia (with North Korea at the bottom of the entire list at 167th place, followed by Burma 165th, China 162nd, Vietnam 161st and Laos 153rd) and the Middle East (Saudi Arabia 159th, Iran 158th, Syria 155th, Iraq 148th).

In these countries, an independent media either does not exist or journalists are persecuted and censored on a daily basis. Freedom of information and the safety of journalists are not guaranteed there. Continuing war has made Iraq the most deadly place on earth for journalists in recent years, with 44 killed there since fighting began in March last year.

The greatest press freedom is found in northern Europe (Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, the Netherlands and Norway), which is a haven of peace for journalists. Of the top 20 countries, only three (New Zealand 9th, Trinidad and Tobago 11th and Canada 18th) are outside Europe.

Other small and often impoverished democracies appear high on the list, such as El Salvador (28th) and Costa Rica (35th) in Central America, along with Cape Verde (38th) and Namibia (42nd) in Africa and Timor-Leste (57th) in Asia.

Reporters Without Borders compiled the index by asking its partner organisations (14 freedom of expression organisations in five continents), its 130 correspondents around the world, as well as journalists, researchers, jurists and human rights activists, to answer 52 questions to indicate the state of press freedom in 167 countries (others were not included for lack of information)

--> Oct volkskrant [national newspaper here in NL] reports that Denmark is the least corrupt country in the world. The CPI, the worldwide index about corruption by Transparency International. This was followed by Sweden and New Zealand. The netherlands and Iceland finished tied for 7^th place. Somalia ended up last on the list at 180^th. Just below Afghanistan, Birma, Iraq and Haiti.

The 2 largest losers were the UK [12^th to 16^th] and Italy [41 to 55] while the US fell from 18^th to 20^th as far as corruption stats go.

Bart, C. Hedges [Truthdig] articles brings up a problem inherent in the American electoral system. I already have been less than impressed by Obama's programs. Clinton, sometimes better, is not much better and Ihave a lot of problems with her (and her

different from the Reps and Dems. A Vote for Green or Nader or Libertarians is not viewed as a call for the main parties to include the "outsider" view into their platforms. These votes are viewed as spoilers, weirdos. They are not seen as saying no the system

as it is. They are marginalized, dismissed and the old stale march toward oblivion is maintained. There is no attempt to seriously look at what is being said by a none republican or democratic vote. Thus the dilemma: do you vote your conscience or do you vote

your fears, in this case that McCain would pick Supreme Court Justices, and allow any attempt to place a vote for true change to vanish once again?

school starts tomorrow and i'm not ready yet. i don't feel ready. I need to and have to be a nerd and study all the time. But then for us HSC starts in week 3.

Anyway, i love beyonce's new song.

"If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it
Because they’d stick up for meIf I were a boy
I think that I’d understand
how it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
cause I know how it hurts
when you loose the one you wanted
cause he’s taken you for granted
and everything you had got destroyed!
If I were a boy

I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone that its broken
so they think
that I was sleeping alone
I’d put myself first
and make the rules as I go
cause I know that she’ll be faithful
waiting for me to come home ( to come home)

If I were a boy
I think that I could understand
how it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
when you loose the one you wanted
cause he’s taken you for granted
and everything you had got destroyed!It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

But your just a boy
You don’t understand (and you don’t understand)
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you’ll wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you taken her for granted
And everything that you had got destroyed
But your just a boy… "

Man, I suck at this

I never update as much as I want to. I'm really sorry I've been slacking off.

It's been a crazy week?

:shrug:

We celebrated our 2nd anniversary on Tuesday. I can't believe we've been married for 2 years. It seems like just yesterday we were planning everything. That being said, it's been almost 2 years since I went off the pill and we started ttc. Now, of course, not every cycle has been balls to the wall or charted or sex as much as we possibly can. We were naive and cute and thought we'd just let it happen and tell everyone about our "ooopsie!"

Wednesday night (after a sex-less anniversary) I had a breakdown of sorts. I realized that it's been almost 730 days of ttc. Granted, that's not much compared to some people out in this big bad world, but it's a lot for me. Obviously, I've never been ttc as long as I have right now. The breakdown came as my oh so loving husband said "I really want to have sex with you right now, but we're both kind of tired, so I don't think so". I was so mad because of the charting, the monitoring, the pill-taking, etc....and now, in the days (maybe hours) leading up to an o, he decided he was too tired.

I bawled. I bawled like a little baby. I had never really admitted to anyone before (even myself) how tiring it all was. How frustrating it all was. How unfair it all was. But I told him that night. I told him and I sobbed.

I cried and he held me.

Then we ended up doing it anyways :-)

And the next night, and the next night...and even last night.

(For us, that's some kind of record).

In the midst of all of our anniversary celebrating and overtime working...I'm pretty sure that I ovulated. I'm awaiting my temp results for tomorrow morning before i get all excited about it. My cbefm hasn't given me a peak reading yet, but I've been told sometimes it doesn't on the first month. Additionally, I started taking soy ( a plant estrogen) earlier in the cycle (for 5 days) and so its possible that the extra estrogen affected the reading.

So here I am, at possibly 2dpo.

We'll see, eh?

628.9

S&S — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 23:20:00 +0000

I am not sure if I have mentioned this before but I am one of those very very very very lucky IF patients. Because... (oh you are going to hate me for this...) my insurance covers IF treatments. But, wait wait... don't hate me that much! My insurance has a lifetime maximum amount of IF coverage after which we are on our own. And guess what, we have almost reached the limit. I think there is enough to cover one-third of the upcoming FET... after which our savings account starts to take a hit. And my darling husband has invested 90% of the money on the stock market! I know... Yikes! With the economy going the way it is, I am freaking out like you won't believe it!

*****

As I was going through my billing statements from the IVF lab and clinic, I realized that all of the procedures that were billed to my insurance had a diagnosis code of "628.9". Hmm... Being the knowledge junkie that I am, I googled it to come up with this.

2009 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 628.9

Infertility female of unspecified origin

Diminished or absent ability of a female to achieve conception.

628.9 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis

More info here and here.

We are termed as "unexplained". So...why "infertility female"?? How can they assume its me who has the problem?? Bloody buggers! They should have a code that says "infertile couple". This sucks. I have been pissed off since I saw this. UGH...We live in such a male chauvinistic society!!
