Fascinating!

Was this an Atlantean woman living in China...?!?

Beauty of Loulan, China* (Caucasian Mummy in China) Catalyzing Change
"Unearthed lying on her side as though in sleep, a single tuft of red hair falling across her head and ragged moccasins on her feet, the Beauty of Loulan is considered to be one of the best preserved mummies ever found. Roughly 3800-years-old and discovered in the sands of Xinjiang province in western China, her emaciated features betray a facial bone structure that is surprisingly similar to Caucasian looking women.

In the late 1980's, perfectly preserved 3000+-year-old mummies began appearing in a remote Chinese desert. They had long reddish-blond hair, European features and didn't appear to be the ancestors of modern-day Chinese people.

In a find that could turn conventional history on its head, scientists using genetic testing have discovered that Caucasians lived in western China's Tarim Basin a thousand years before East Asians arrived.

A team of American and Chinese researchers working in a laboratory in Sweden used DNA samples to date and profile her mummy, confirming she and other mummies are of Indo-European descent.

It is not only her carbon-dated age that makes her a famous mummy, the Beauty of Loulan has become an icon of the Uyghur people. She is claimed to be their ancestor and has been titled as the mother to their nation; her reconstructed face now adorns many national Uyghur posters.

  Kevin Munsie The Chinese government will not allow exploration of the hundreds of pyramids in China. They are so ethnocentric that they hide human history instead of seeking truth. They do not want to give credit to non-Chinese ancestors for contributing to their civilization.

  Marina J. K. Sætre In the end we are all related. Sooner or later the Chinese government have to give way for change too, and we will all find out what the pyramids contain. Regarding Chinesse history, I can not understand why it should make such a difference to them that non chinesse people built those pyramids? So what? That doesn`t make chinesse history and culture any less amazing? Oh well. hopefully thay will come to their senses so we can all explore the marvels I am certain are still hidden from most of us  Peace and tolerance.

I dunno... we can languish over "who she was" and "how she got there" but 

really now ~ she looks like Margot Kidder, not Carrie Anne Moss!!!  

...although... I can see it, too..! 

-~- 

1984

 So... We're hearing that Patty & Gal 

didn't do so well in their redux...? 

*WW84* isn't all that it 

could have been/promised to be? 

Maybe it is due to it 

having only ONE song from 1984 

in its entire soundtrack - and it is this: 

 

WOW. 

That was... underwhelming! 

(In spite of the daring bits there, 

for its day and prudish age; 

such as the protruding ones 

seen in this shot, screenshot 

for your convenience 

(since fickle YouTube might 

take it down any second now!)

 

...boobies? (Even if only side boob shots) in a MUSIC VIDEO from the Eighties?!? 

And all staged in the midst of some kind of sado-maso lesbo scene...?!? 

How did this get past the censors, back then? 

How did it get uploaded to YT... NOW? 

#ButThatIsAnotherStory

No, really... 

PATTY should have gone 

WITH THIS SONG INSTEAD: 

It tells the same basic tale as her film 

(heck - even features a lookalike 

of Chris Whatsisname; Steeeeve!!!) 

it's from the repertoire of a far more 

legendary band (the Moody Blues) 

and it represents the spirit of the 80s 

far better... IMHLO 

(In My Humble Luminous Opinion!) 

WHO CARES IF IT CAME OUT 

EXACTLY IN 1984 OR NOT!? 

What's more important here: 

historical accuracy in a fictitious work 

or artistic integrity and LOGIC!? 

Never mind - yeah...!

AND ANOTHER SONG THAT 

SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED... 

...yeah, okay - make it the original version!

... for BOTH "Diana Prince" 

and "Barbara Minerva" need an answer 

to that most anguishing question!  

FAST!!!

... and Steve... and Patty too! 

I mean... what was that... 

NO EURYTHMICS?!? 

Questions, Questions... To The Nth°

Life is so full of them already (aye, life is full of it alright - but that is another question) - and we, narrow-minded humanoids that we are, keep on creating more and more - most of which having no satisfying answer at all.

Such as, such as... Let's see now...

When will Tom Brady prove his superiority over that Manning brat - merely put in question now (no matter how seriously so) by two games dropped to the brat at the worst of times... 9maybe it is not the best of times to ask the question either: seeing as Brady's nearly life-long personal coach has died, almost right after the second loss to the Manning Brat and His Giants. At least we beat that Christian redneck to make to the Super Bowl, right Tom? Okay - it is simply not the right time to ask ANYTHING...)

Let's try something else...

What the hell is going on with these weather patterns nowadays - eh? Snow in parts of the world that seldom saw it - and in vast quantities. Temperature drops accompanied that outpour there, while where it is traditionally a far more robust winter, things have been rather mild to say the least. What the hell is going on here?!? Are we slowly shifting towards a bonafide major shift, at the end of which we'll find ourselves on a very different planet, almost overnight, with melting polar ice caps, destabilized ecosystems and a flurry of new challenges ahead...?

Thing is, most people do not really want an answer to that particular question - not any time soon...
So let's have another - shall we?

Why do fools fall in love again? Now maybe the answer to that one can be provided, as I suspect that it always been under our nose, all this time, yes: it is because they fail at facing life on their own. And being fools, it is no surprise at all that they do, logically speaking... Since we are ALL a little crazy, we can expect to ALL have out turn of folly and loving, therefore... Some fools actually are not foolish at all - they foresee their failure, sense their flaws even as they are just beginning to show and only to others at that: and so, they marry young. Extremely young. Or just shack up with someone - mostly the latter nowadays, yeah. Marriage, these days, is the folly of the older and wiser - but, again, we are all fools to some degree, so...

Okay, let's quit this while we're ahead, eh?
Next BURNING QUESTION...

Where in the Earth is... Waldo and Carmen Sandiego, again?
They probably fled together to some Communist paradise, eh?

Enough dwelling on that, methinks... Next!

Who is WORRIED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT, REALLY? We just mentioned the very real phenomenon of Global Warming, which is turning things topsy-turvy all-around the globe indeed: but is anyone worried here, or do we stubbornly remain focused on our little selves and selfish needs, every single day, save for a few hours or days in the year during which we feel, oh, I dunno, remorse?

I think there's another one with an answer right there, hmm?
Let's see if we can extract one more now...


How in blue blazes are we supposed to keep going, as the human race, with all the threats that are awaiting at every corner here...?!? You know, that is actually a funny question indeed: because, just days ago, I was going through some of my old writing projects and there was this old favorite of mine right there, looking at me square in the eye again: it had a plethora of characters, 1001 sub-plots, just so much going on all at once...! At one point I even scripted these very words for one of my pet characters to utter, a tad alarmingly: "too many threats (indeed) coming at us all at once - it is to much to deal with all at once!"

The thing about it is that it is what made the project interesting to begin with: for, with virtually the exact same cast, so many had done trite and boring stuff with before. And they do so now presently too, as it is... Me, I had so much going on at once it was IMPOSSIBLE to be bored here: totally and completely IMPOSSIBLE! Too bad the moronic powers-that-be did not give that project the proverbial "Green Light" at the time - fools that they still are (a fool remains a fool - always, we all know that, all of us being fools and all...)

And so, the funny thing about it all is that, just like in that brilliant (dare I say, luminous?) piece of fiction, it was all that simultaneous action going on that made it exciting, in an hyper-anxious kind of way, so it is for LIFE. If we didn't have all that going on all at once, all these threats to our short-term, middle-term and long-term futures, we wouldn't be as, er, productive and active as we are.

We THRIVE on all that stuff.

Okay enough questions already - let's just listen to some music and be done with this lamenting and languishing already - until the next time we feel the melancholic urge, that is...

Where Is My Mind?

Can there be an ever more anguished, 

perplexed-sounding, 

inquisitive to the infinite degree 

QUESTION 

than this one right here: 

WHERE IS MY MIND? 

Talk about LANGUISHING... 

this self-questioning of the sublime kind 

was first done in... Boston! 

(And, if you know me, 

you know I credit Boston 

as being the unofficial 

center of the universe ~ 

thanks to Harvard, M.I.T. and 

Fenway Park - of course.) 

But let's get back to 

THE QUESTION: 

and let's try to answer it! 

It is this blog's life mission, 

after all... 

Its raison d'être...!!!

(Pardon the French, Pixies!) 

Could thy mind be found...

in an alternative realm, perhaps? 

Have you LOST your mind - maybe? 

(Too many shots to the head...) 

Is thy mind... pondering other things? 

Deeper things... 

Meaningful things! 

Or is it, au contraire... 

lost meandering in nether regions, 

losing its way instead? 

Is it to be found...

in the gutter, for example? 

Has it lost its redeeming qualities - 

such as wit, flair, ability to find 

just the right thing to say - 

no matter what the circumstances 

may be...? 

Is your mind simply... absent, momentarily? 

Concentrating but a fraction of its power 

on the vital functions of thy body - 

such as breathing... 

in and out... 

nothing much else! 

Or is your mind too concentrated on 

a particular task at hand: 

such as imitating 

(that which is, incidentally, 

the sincerest form of flattery! 

Hear that, Breeders? 

But that's another story...) 

Ou, talvez... 

(desculpa o Português agora, gentinha...) 

is your gentle soul and fine mind 

simply... gone on a creative tangent, 

not to be disturbed just yet? 

Is your mind...  worried? 

Maybe it's got the jitters now? 

Is it... lost in thought, 

of all kinds - mingling past, present 

and future - joyfully and without 

much of a logic to it, 

at all...? 

Is your mind... AWOL? 

Is it having odd, 

very much David Lynch-like moments 

for no particular reason at all? 

Is your mind... NUMB? 

Is it... dead? 

Have you truly 

LOST YOUR MIND...? 

Or is your mind going... 

rebellious, instead? 

Is lust taking over your mind? 

Or is it greed instead...? 

(Or any other of the Seven Sins - dammit!) 

Envy - is that envy 

on your mind, now? 

WHERE HAS YOUR 

MILLENNIAL MIND 

GONE TO NOW... 

INDEED?!?
