Just Let it All Hang Out...

 

h/t - Woodsterman

If you want to find out what it's all about,
Go to East End, where the toughs hang out;
Where street-smart girls, their skirts unfurled-
Through the wicked streets whirl.

Nights down there-always stark,
Hipcats smiling in the dark;
And the sun shines down through all the days-
Down on wayward ways!

Dead flowers lie in the street,
As people run from the heat.
Rose tattoo and butterfly;
Ruby lips; mascara eye.

Motorcycles in the mist,
Flashing lights; clenched fist;
They move as if in a craze,
Through the city's maze.

In the streets and alleyways, they clash,
Seasons change with a splash,
But, warriors ever, ever advance-
Though they haven't a chance!

If you want to find out what it's all about,
Go to East End, where the toughs hang out;
In leather pant, and faded jean-
It's noplace, if you get what I mean.
Evelyn Judy Buehler, "East End, Where The Toughs Hang Out"

Carpe!

The silver Swan, who, living, had no Note.
when Death approached, unlocked her silent throat.
Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
thus sang her first and last, and sang no more:
"Farewell, all joys! O Death, come close mine eyes! 
More Geese than Swans now live, more Fools than Wise."
Orlando Gibbons, "The Silver Swan"

Take it Away!



LittleWhisperer 

It was sometime close to midnight
While the sky was weeping rain
That a woman waited anxiously
For the arrival of her train.
She’d forgotten her umbrella
And her clothes were soaking through
But she was so upset
That I’m not sure she even knew.
She didn’t have a suitcase
Or a penny to her name
Just the ticket clutched in hand
And a worn coat stitched up with blame.
Her goal was very simple:
All she'd wanted was to run
So she’d left the life she knew behind
To escape what she had done.
There'd been no time for last goodbyes
Before she’d fled away
But she felt it didn’t matter
Since there was nothing she could say.
No words could mend a broken heart
Nor fix rejection’s awful sting
Nor turn a life made up of autumns
Into something resembling spring.
So when at last her train appeared
She exhaled in relief
Thinking as she boarded
She'd get to leave behind her grief.
After all, the train was her salvation
Pledged to take her somewhere new
To where she'd reinvent herself
And stage a new debut.
So as she handed in her ticket
And took an open seat
She smiled at the thought
That she’d dealt her demons firm defeat.
But little did she realize
It was a war she’d never win
For you can’t outrun your demons
When they come from deep within.

Vacay Ideas for those with little/ no cash...

Assédic is the partial acronym of "Association pour l’emploi dans l’industrie et le commerce" (Association for Employment in Industry and Trade). Created in 1958, it was a French agency that collected and paid unemployment insurance contributions. It was associated with the UNEDIC agency, which set the amount of the contributions. In 2009, it was merged with the ANPE into the new agency Pôle emploi.

The Revenu minimum d'insertion (RMI) was a French form of social welfare. It is aimed at people without any income who are of working age but do not have any other rights to unemployment benefits (such as contributions-based unemployment benefits). It was created in 1988 by Jean-Michel Belorgey, by the government of Michel Rocard (Socialist Party), and aimed at helping people who had the most problems with finding work.

The RMI has been fully replaced by the Revenu de solidarité active (RSA) in 2009, after a transition starting in 2007.

Established in 1931, the Prisunic chain of stores democratized the universe of furniture and clothing at the end of the 1950s, “Beauty for the price of ugliness” became the slogan created by Denise Fayolle, director of the style department from 1957 to 1967. A pioneer for its formula of mail order selling, in 1968 it published its first catalogue skillfully displaying furniture, lighting, tableware and textiles. Each catalogue was given to a designer who brought together creators such as the graphic designer Roman Cieslewicz and the photographer Peter Knapp. The first collection was designed by Terence Conran, the founder of Habitat in London in 1964, followed by Olivier Mourgue, Gae Aulenti, Marc Held and Jean-Pierre Garrault. The last catalogue appeared in spring-summer of 1976.

The Réseau Express Régional (English: Regional Express Network), commonly abbreviated RER (French pronunciation: ​[ɛʁ.ə.ɛʁ]), is a hybrid commuter rail and rapid transit system serving Paris and its suburbs. The RER combines the operations and roles of a local city-centre underground rail system and suburbs-to-city-centre commuter rail. Inside the city centre, the RER functions much like the Paris Métro, although it is faster, as it has fewer stops. This has made it a model for proposals to improve transit within other cities
