Foster The People And Foster Your Love For This Blog. Thanks...Gentle Readers

GENTLE READERS:

Part 1."Sinkie" news.

I first reported HERE about an African man who works at an area Chevron who was also speaking Spanish one day (BTW ... I was only making the point that it was a little unexpected that he quickly said "veinte en once," or "$20 on Pump 11," not saying he was not smart or could not learn)...
Well, ANYWAY, I stopped at the same Chevron recently and saw "Sinkie" again (he is probably in his 60s). (Picture to come!).
I asked if he spoke Spanish... he shook his head: Sadly, no he does not. But, Sinkie said he knows the basics. He said he is from Ethiopia, and, asked if I knew where that was. I said yes. Because I go there regularly.

Part 2.
I recently mumbled about this band. Here they are seen, sitting: Indian Style

Foster The People.

I just found out as of late, the song that I wrote about liking, "Pumped Up Kicks," is actually about a shooting rampage.

While this greatly bugs some, and sticks in their craw or craws, I think the group from Los Angeles did it to Foster Understanding.

Part 3.You may go to this hot, and sweaty group of concerts.

I am sorry for my tardiness in talking about this. Austin City Limits Music Festival was held, I think, on Sept. 16, 17, and 18. I did not go, but Eckhart, a "random guy I know," went to the festival.
Some musical acts that he witnessed were Foster The People (again!), Kanye West, and Stevie Wonder. He said that Stevie Wonder seemed like he was getting annoyed at the crowd, for not singing along.

Part 4.
The author of the book, "North Dallas Forty"Peter Gent, has just died recently. While Peter Gent was obviously way ahead of me in using North Dallas as a theme... that annoys me a little... you should still check out the book, circa 1973.

Part 5.

There is now a Selena stamp.

I think it is a new issue for 2011...

YAY! And I mean this,for real.

goodbye,
Alice

Here is a poem I saw on a documentary while on vacation, in 2008:

Calm Down
What Happens
Happens Mostly
Without You.
