This is a Greek song from the early 30s, dedicated to this year’s summer vacations
It’s kind of ironic in the way that it refers to a poor couple in love that wishes to go on vacation to Honolulu…and despite the fact that there’s no possible way to achieve that, yet they sing about whether would truly worth to go there.
Enjoy and have a nice summer…
Well I think it’s been a while since I , last time, wrote something here…but I guess it doesn’t really matter since, I don’t think I have any regular viewers or readers whatsoever. 3 views out of 4 are mine, coming back to check on the blog and the fourth one, remains a mystery who might be.
Anyway, today I felt like I experienced a revelation right after a spiritual “annulment” incident which, all together, are too much for one person in one day.
The annulment incident had to do with a phone call where someone of a specific expertise on a subject within seconds, annulled all my knowledge on a specific matter, on which some years ago I invested time, money and a lot of effort. It’s quite frustrating and disappointing to realize that eventually you know shit of something you thought you knew well.
And at that point I experienced the revelation…I visioned the future, I kind of saw some part of my future life and I can’t say it was nice or good. Looking back in years I think that I ‘ve already lived the gist of what was there to live that demanded confidence and enthusiasm, I ‘m happy that I lived a while I without worries and matters that need to be taken care of.
Or maybe I ‘m I ‘m writting this feeling blue once again…
“Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?”
“A Republic, if you can keep it.”
The response is attributed to BENJAMIN FRANKLIN—at the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, when queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation—in the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention.
McHenry’s notes were first published in The American Historical Review, vol. 11, 1906, and the anecdote on p. 618 reads: “A lady asked Dr. Franklin Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy. A republic replied the Doctor if you can keep it.” When McHenry’s notes were included in The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787, ed. Max Farrand, vol. 3, appendix A, p. 85 (1911, reprinted 1934), a footnote stated that the date this anecdote was written is uncertain.
Well, “when I was younger so much younger than today”…I took for granted that people around me live their lives in the way they have chosen to live them, and their lives represent a result of choices made throughout their living…I guess for a kid, there’s no other way to live your life except the way you choose to live it…unfortunately people live their lives they way they can and not the way want…
I never really understood how’s possible for stupid people to occupy key positions in this life…take a look at politicians, doctors, lawyers, accountants, and a bunch of other people that happen to be supervisors in different working environments, coming up usually with the most awkward demands that expect from their subordinates simply to execute…even if they have come up with the most stupid idea ever!

There are some songs that can be inevitably accompanied by certain things such as a good drink, an old wine or an old malt whiskey, a fading away memory of something good, bad or beautiful, a hope for a more promising tomorrow or a regret about a dissapointing yesterday, it may also concern the loneliness of the moment or the loss that caused the present loneliness…There are some songs that can be inevitably accompanied by almost….everything!
