The Time Trap

As my brother is married to a family in South Italy and I married into a Family in Colombia, it is a must to see all kind of “family business movies”. I never was in luck seeing “Sopranos” on Telly. I don’t even know if this show was on in Europe. I found them for 22€ on Amazon with very good recommendation and ordered it (together with many other movies).

It was the first DVD I opened (although also got 24 Season 4), put into the DVD player and start watching. So far, I just saw the first 120 minutes - means, still 780 minutes to go.

Resume 120min: I love his mom as much as Tony does and I’m very curious to watch the next 120 minutes tonight. I’ll keep you posted. Gotta go…where is the remote control…

Another 120 minutes later I’m slowly getting into it. It’s really not a fast catchy series like “Scrubs”, “married with children”, “the wonder years”, “sex and the city” or even “desperate housewifes”, which keeps you curious all the time with a smile in your face. The characters are slowly introduced surrounding Tony, who himself we are getting know better via his sessions with his psychiatrist.

Really catchy  and groovy is the title song “Woke Up his Morning” from A3. It was the first and only thing I liked immediately. The action is increasing and I will continue watching without any idea where this is leading to…

No, they weren’t. But isn’t it amazing that history repeats itself again and again. Why is the man-kind not able to learn?

As Ozzy and his crew wrote in 1970 their song “Walpurgis” (also called “Witches’ Mass” on Ozzy’s “Ozzman Cometh” album) the Vietnam war kept the US war machine turning and the war was topic number one on Telly and in the media each day. As the idea of writing a song about Satan’s Chrismas is so close to daily work of some politicians, it was probably easy to rewrite the lyrics. For this reason Black Sabbath changed their lyrics slightly and renamed the title of their song to “War Pigs” for their new Paranoid Album.

Now it’s 2006, 36 years later and the young generation themself have seen some wars (on Telly?) as well and the lyrics fit the situation each time and describes some actual politicians just perfect.

From my point of view, this song should be a must to be tought at school and the best background song for every war news. Read it carefully! Will you be able to name one person fitting this song? Copyrights by Black Sabbath:

Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerers of death’s construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their brainwashed minds.
Oh lord, yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah.

Time will tell on their power minds,
making war just for fun.
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
wait till their judgement day comes, yeah.

Now in darkness world stops turning,
ashes where the bodies burning.
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour.
Day of judgement, God is calling,
on their knees the war pigs crawling.
Begging mercies for their sins,
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings.
Oh lord, yeah!
Please keep in mind, that the same wise man, who wrote this lyrics 36 years ago, visited the white house a few month ago. Another proof that drugs do harm your brain.

Schade. Nun hat man schon einen Blog und kommt vor lauter Reisen nicht dazu.

In der Zwischenzeit ist wie immer viel geschehen. Ein bisschen Venedig, Frankfurt besser gesagt Königstein im Taunus, München, Lübeck, Nürnberg, Bari,… und mein Schlossgarten verwildert. Nun gut, ein paar Abend im Jacuzzi unter Sternenhimmel mit einer guten Havanna und einem leckeren Rum aus Venezuela konnte ich mir doch noch in meinem Schlossgarten gönnen. Die schönen Momente im Leben.

Okay. I have to admit that Sopranos are definately better than I though on first sight. After you start loving the characters you want to see more. First and second season are fantastic. With the third season I had quite a hard time as it was somehow boring. As I just received Season 4 and 5 I’m full of hope that it will get better again.

Anyway, I’m proud that I have spent some time with THE SOPRANOS.

That’s exactly the idea of a good TIMEPTRAP for lazy nights and rainy weekends.

Bloody hell. After such a boring Season 3, Season 4 was just full of emotions. Looks like Tony and Carmela are going to divorce. Why? He’s such a cutie and definately loves her. At least, that’s what he keeps telling all his bitches. Typical woman in mid-life crises, who got a smell of love (to someone else) and think just because their relationship is like that, that this isn’t love anymore. It’s just like with good friends of us. She was just jealous seeing her sister in love and imidiately questioned her marriage after 14 happy years and finally they’ve got divorced. I hope I will never have this in front of me. Bloody hormons and their victims. Cheers.
