Jefferson Airplane - "Today"

Today I feel like pleasing you more than before
Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for
To be living for you is all I want to do
To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed
Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same
To be anymore than all I am would be a lie
I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry
Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true
Today I realize how much I'm in love with you
With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love
To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enough
Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
And it's all for you
all for you....

fonds-tu dans leurs mains?



Java - "Pépètes":

J'étais encore un enfant, quand on s'est rencontrés,
J'ai mis mon adolescence à comprendre combien je t'aimais,
Le jour où je t'ai roulé ma première galoche,
Tu m'as tapé dans l'œil avant que je t'aie dans la poche
Depuis ma vie se résume à une course-poursuite,
Chaque fois que je tente de t'effleurer, dis-moi pourquoi tu prends la fuite ?
Avec toi, ça va, ça vient, sans toi je suis un vaurien
En avoir pour son toi, j'aimerais tant, d'ailleurs le temps c'est du toi
Du chagrin, j'en ai gros sur la patate,
J'suis accro de toi sauf quand tu craques
J'ai les bourses qui se rétractent
Ta courbe croissante m'enchante,
Mais ta chute de reins me donne des vertiges et des crampes

T'es la personne la plus ouverte, tu connais pas de frontières
Tu parles toutes les langues et sans briser les barrières
Snob ! La pauvreté te fait horreur
Je t'offrirai tous les parfums toi qui n'as pas d'odeur
Tu ne fais pas le bonheur, procure du plaisir,
Et plus je te désire et plus tu me fais courir
J'te tire mon chapeau et tu m'en fais baver des ronds d'pièces
Je t'aime autant que je te déteste

T'es fraiche et bien roulée, pépètes,
Tout le monde te court après et j'arrive toujours le dernier
Tu m'fais tourner la tête !
Arrête de jouer à cache-cache ou je finirai par te coffrer [x2]

Arrête ! J'suis franc, j'en veux pas qu'à ton écu, poupée,
Quand arriveras-tu à te poser ?
Ne me quitte pas, il est, paraît-il, des placements fertiles
Donnant plus de blé qu'un meilleur avril
Je ferai un domaine où tu seras reine, où tu seras loi,
Et même si ce domaine existe déjà
(Tellement) imprévisible, soudain invisible,
D'autres t'ont prise pour cible
Reviens dans mes bras, pour toi je serai crédible
Au bal je t'ai invitée à ma table,
Tu m'as snobé et t'es partie danser avec un notable
Pendant que je m'faisais biaiser,
D'autres avant moi avaient déjà appris à te léser
Au début j'étais rongé par la jalousie et puis
J'ai bien vite compris que tu ne ferais jamais le bonheur d'autrui
Toutes tes formes font rêver mais dans le fond, y a rien

Impalpable, liquide, tu fonds dans leurs mains
À peine qu'ils t'ont, tu lorgnes déjà sur les voisins
Tu les rends possessifs, jaloux, radins et mesquins.
T'es partie à la conquête du monde entier,
Et le monde entier a succombé à tes charmes de papier
Aujourd'hui le monde entier est à tes pieds
Mais t'es plus que jamais malheureuse comme les blés

T'étais fraîche et bien roulée, pépètes,
Maintenant t'es fade et fardée
Tu donnes le bras à des riches, pépètes,
Mais t'es malheureuse comme les blés.
T'étais fraîche et bien roulée, pépètes,
Maintenant t'es fade et fardée
T'as eu tous les hommes à tes pieds, pépètes,
Mais le seul amant qui t'a manqué, c'est la liberté.

Little boy dies saving sister from paedophile
(December 2, 2008, 20:36)

An 8-year-old boy has died trying to save his sister from being attacked by a paedophile in the Moscow region. Thanks to the little hero, the suspect was detained and will face trial.
On Tuesday the brave boy – Zhenya Tabakov - was buried in the town of Noginsk.

Boy who died saving sister from rapist awarded
(February 3, 2009, 16:30)

A seven-year-old boy who died defending his elder sister from a rapist has been honoured with an Order of Courage medal. Evgeny Tabakov’s mother picked up the award for her dead son.

The Head of the Investigative Committee at the Public Prosecutor’s Office, Andrey Bastrykin, recommended that Evgeny should get the award because of his bravery.

In November last year a convicted criminal broke into the apartment of the Tabakov family in the military town of Noginsk-9 in Moscow Region. He intended to carry out a robbery. Seven-year-old Evgeny and his twelve-year-old sister were at home at the time.

Finding nothing valuable to steal, the criminal decided to satisfy himself in a different way, by raping the girl. 

But seven-year-old Evgeny had other ideas. The second grade pupil defended his sister from the attacker, an act of courage that cost him his life. The girl escaped but the attacker stabbed Evgeny with a knife eight times.



The next evening the 35-year-old would-be rapist was caught by an army officer, who was later awarded for this action.

 “This tragedy shocked staff on the Investigative Committee at the Public Prosecutor’s Office – people who deal with death every day… But this case went beyond any norms”, Andrey Bastrykin said at the awards ceremony. 


What little Evgeny Tabakov did was exceptional. Bastrykin said everything should be done to make sure the boy did not sacrifice his life in vain. 

The boy’s school promised to erect a memorial in the school lobby telling Evgeny Tabakov’s story. 

It also said only the best pupils would be allowed to sit in Evgeny’s old desk in his classroom.

Mythic Birthplace of Zeus Said Found
(Heather Whipps - LiveScience's History Columnist)
LiveScience.com – Mon Feb 9, 12:25 pm ET

The Greek god of thunder and lightning had Earthly beginnings, and scientists think they finally know where.

Ancient Greeks first worshipped the omnipotent Zeus at a remote altar on Mount Lykaion, a team of Greek and American archaeologists now think. During a recent dig at the site, the researchers found ceremonial goods commonly used in cult activity and dated at over three millennia old, making them the earliest known "appearance" of Zeus in Greece.

The discovery challenges the idea that Zeus worship began on the Greek island of Crete, which at least one classical historian names as the god's mythic birthplace. The latest finds on Mount Lykaion, in the mainland province of Arcadia, are as old as the idea of Zeus himself, said the project's senior research scientist David Romano, of the University of Pennsylvania.

"This new evidence strongly suggests that there were drinking (and perhaps feasting) parties taking place on the top of the mountain in the Late Helladic period, around 3,300 or 3,400 years ago," Romano said.

Worship of lightning god unbroken

Zeus is the most important figure in ancient Greek mythology. He is the supreme ruler of Mount Olympus, the god of the skies and the father of a slew of other deities and mortals, such as Athena, Apollo, Heracles, Aphrodite and Helen of Troy, say the legends.

The heroic figure was born on either the island of Crete or on Mount Lykaion, according to two competing accounts written in ancient times. While the myths are just that - stories - historians and archaeologists have always been interested in discovering what elements of the stories might be at least loosely based on fact.
Though temples to Zeus, including one of the seven ancient wonders of the world, are found throughout Greece, Zeus' mythic "birthplace" may actually be the spot where Greeks first started to worship him too, the new finds suggest.

Excavating a trench on Mount Lykaion, in an area which ancient Greek historians later called "the ash altar of Zeus," archaeologists found more than 50 drinking vessels, fragments of human and animal figurines, as well as burned sheep and goat bones. All of the artifacts are consistent with cult ceremonies of the Mycenaean people, who settled Greece approximately between 3,000 and 4,000 years ago, historians say.
A portion of these finds were announced preliminarily by the research team last year.

Mycenaean mountain-top altars are very rare on mainland Greece, according to archaeologists. The period also coincides with the first historical mentions of the god Zeus in Greek texts, suggesting that the Mount Lykaion ceremonies were to honor the man himself.

The worship of Zeus, a god traditionally associated with mountains, became popular on Mount Lykaion during classic Greek antiquity, said the team, made up of archaeologists from the University of Pennsylvania, Arizona, and the Greek Archaeological Service.

Younger, higher levels of the trench have yielded silver coins, a bronze hand holding a lightning bolt and petrified lightning in past dig seasons. All are clear dedications to Zeus, indicating that the use of the god's altar on Mount Lykaion was likely unbroken for several millennia.

Myth and history

The connection between myth and history doesn't apply solely to ancient Greece. Many ancient cultures worshipped gods that had links to both the spirit and physical worlds.

Real-world spots mentioned in mythic or sacred texts often become places of worship or temple locations or, like Mount Lykaion, vice-versa. This especially applies to birthplaces or homes of the Gods, such as:

Heliopolis, Egypt: Though largely destroyed and swallowed by the sprawl of modern Cairo, the ancient city of Heliopolis was once the center of the Egyptians' worship of Ra, the all-important sun God. Ra died in the evening and was reborn every morning, according to legend, spending the night in a boat floating through the underworld.

Kilauea, Hawaii: This sacred volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii is both feared (it is the most active volcano on the planet) and revered as the home of Pele, Hawaii's fire Goddess. Tourists who disrespect Kilauea or take rocks from the mountain are thought to incur the wrath of Pele, who will curse those individuals with bad luck.

Teotihuacan, Mexico: The most important site of the pre-Columbian Aztecs and a major world city in its own right, Teotihuacan was also the ceremonial heart of the cult of the feathered-serpent Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec's creator god. It was at the site's temple where Quetzalcoatl first had plumes added to his reptilian body, according to Aztec myth.

Worship Site Predates Zeus
(By Tuan C. Nguyen, LiveScience Staff Writer)
posted: 23 January 2008 05:15 pm ET

Ancient pottery found at an altar used by ancient Greeks to worship Zeus was actually in use at least a millennium earlier, new archeological data suggest.

The pottery shards were discovered during an excavation last summer near the top of Mt. Lykaion in southern Greece.

The finding, which dates back to 3000 B.C., indicates that the tradition of divinity worship on the site is very ancient and may even pre-date the introduction of Zeus into the Greek world, said David Gilman Romano, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and co-director of the excavation project.

"We don’t yet know how the altar was first used, and whether it was used in connection with natural phenomena such as wind, rain, light or earthquakes, possibly to worship some kind of divinity male or female or a personification representing forces of nature,” Romano said.

A rock crystal seal bearing an image of a bull, of probable Late Minoan times (1500 - 1400 B.C.), also was found on the altar, suggesting an early connection between the Minoan isle of Crete and Arcadia.

Early analysis on various bones recovered from the site has shown they belonged to animals, not humans. Ancient texts had mentioned human sacrifice being practiced at the altar of Zeus, but so far, no evidence of this has been found.

The mountaintop altar is known as one of the mythological birthplaces of Zeus. A meadow below the mountain featured a racetrack, stadium and buildings once used to host an athletic festival that rivaled the original Olympic games, held at nearby Olympia.
