We Are The World 25 For Haiti




I discovered this powerful video due to a tweet from

and although it's the early morning,
after a long and intense night without sleep,
I can't help to first make the video public,
and share it on all places online I can reach.

______________________________


Here's my comment on the video:

What an important and heartfelt cause for this video ... and what an *awesome* collaboration of so many talented artists out there, coming together and joining forces to create this marvelous project!

Kudos to all the singers involved, and to the ones who edited the music and the video. I will put this video out at every place online I can reach, promise. I hope you'll get a gazillion views, because you deserve that!

Oh, and: Five stars, and favourited, of course :-)!

______________________________


And this is my Facebook wall entry:

WE ARE THE WORLD ... a song created in 1985 for a noble cause.

25 years later, in 2010, almost 60 talented artists from the YouTube community joined forces to create their version of this song, in favour of the people in Haiti.

Please go and watch, comment, rate and share this marvellous video!

I love YouTube, and awesome projects like this here is one of the reasons for that.

Cursor Destination: Moon


Video response # 2 to Peter Oakley
aka YouTube user geriatric1927

In this video, I tell the story about a work colleague I once had, who was 78 years old and embraced the challenge of learning to work with a computer. I was his tutor, and it was so nice and also impressive to see how this gentleman tackled this task.

Hope you enjoy :-)!

A Notebook Called Notebook


Video response # 1 to Peter Oakley
aka YouTube user geriatric1927

This is a personal story about me and my late father, suggesting how the younger generation can help the elderly to get acquainted with the computer and what possibilities it may offer, and then, as step two, how to use the computer as a tool to get access to the Internet and the world of online communication.

Hope you enjoy :-)!

Play With Words



This is just for fun ... well, hopefully not only for mine :-)!

Think around the corner a little bit,
hear with your eyes ...
and you'll get it, I'm sure.

Oh, and:
Sorry for the mix-up with the numbering in the video, ha ha ...
Just watch, you'll see what I mean!

But, hey: Words are my art ... not numbers :-)!

Hope you enjoy!

Sidney K. Wadjo, NO AIR (by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown)



If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Ohh..

I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

But how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

[Chorus:]
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air

I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down for real

But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived
I don't know how, but I don't even care

So how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

[Chorus:]

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No more
It's no air, no air

[Chorus x2]
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air

W. C. Fields, THE GOLF SPECIALIST

William Claude Dukenfield (January 29, 1880 – December 25, 1946), known as W. C. Fields, was an American comedian, actor, juggler and writer.

Fields created one of the great American comic personas of the first half of the 20th century: a misanthropic and hard-drinking egotist who remained a sympathetic character despite his snarling contempt for dogs, children, and women.

(from Wikipedia)

______________________________


W. C. Fields is one of my all time favourite classic comedians.

Praise be to YouTube,
especially the channel

williamclaudefields

for holding gems like these ones here
in store for me ... and you :-)!
