Steve Clark
Def Leppard

Date Of Death: January 8, 1991
Cause Of Death: Mixture Of Anti-Depressants and Alcohol

Def Leppard was a huge influence on me growing up. Most of the metal and hard rock bands I listened to were from America. Def Leppard, along with Iron Maiden, were the most important bands that hit me out of The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement. The bands first three albums blew me away…all edgy, hooky and heavy in a way that was completely original and legit.

Def Leppard has obviously had their fair share of problems over the years: drummer Rick Allen lost his left arm in an auto accident; guitarist Pete Willis was asked to leave the band due to a severe drinking problem; and that brings us to Steve Clark.

Steve Clark was one of the main contributors to the band’s music, lyrics and sound. His live performances were quite memorable, he was always on fire. Despite the creative genius that was Steve Clark, his musical work with the group was increasingly interrupted by his severe battle with alcoholism.

Clark’s battle began in the early 1980’s and increasingly grew more and more dangerous to him and the band. Alcoholism was seriously damaging his musical career. At the time of his death, his band-mates had placed Clark on a six-month leave of absence from Def Leppard in an attempt to reform the guitarist.

Although I have met and photographed Def Leppard a few times, I never had the opportunity to meet Steve Clark. In memory of Clark, his band-mates wrote and recorded the song White Lightning – honoring Clark’s preference for white clothes on stage. Check out my photo…he is dressed all in white.

Photographed with my old Canon AE1 Program and a cheap, no name 70mm-210mm f 5.6 lens. Shot on Kodak Ektachrome film.

radiohead high and dry

Two jumps in a week
I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle,
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition,
Kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror,
You're turning into something you are not

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

[ Letras de Canciones encontraron en es.mp3lyrics.org/hck ]
Drying up in conversation,
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces,
You just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you
When you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit at you,
You will be the one screaming out

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

It's the best thing that you ever had,
The best thing that you ever, ever had
It's the best thing that you ever had,
The best thing you ever had has gone away

Ready for the eating:

Rainbow chard

Collard greens

a few last heads of Romaine

Zucchini - still enjoying them grilled with olive oil and Penzey's special seasoned salt; eventually I expect we'll tire of that and start looking for other ideas, but for now I can't keep them on the plate.

A mystery hybrid squash that volunteered in last year's old squash bed; it's producing small yellow rounded fruit, kind of like a patty-pan crossed with a yellow crookneck (could be exactly that, but who knows? I'll try to eat one and see what it does...)

Red onions - I just yanked the whole batch and used them in the chard and onion quiche I made last weekend; had I not done so I'd still have several good ones.

Sorrel

Parsley, basil, tarragon, thyme, oregano, lots of mint, sage, chives

ripening: currants, gooseberries, apples!

On the vine, looking pretty green: lots of heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes of all shapes and sizes. I'm expecting cherry tomatoes to overwhelm us soon: we have black cherry, Sungold, Galina's (a yellow cherry tomato) and one called Matt's Wild Cherry that I think will be red. It will make for pretty salads no doubt! The other tomatoes that are looking very promising are an Old Ivory Egg and Grandma Mary's Paste. A few, like the Carbon, Brandywine and German Heirloom Striped, are setting fruit but look a long way from edible - these are supposed to be BIG tomatoes and so far aren't, so those will be a longer wait.

That's it for now; I'd almost call it a lull in the garden, if it weren't for the zucchini that has gone from nothing to rampant in just a few days. I'm glad for the chard to give us at least a little variety in our diets!

I can't believe that I'm actually going to complain about going to a Radiohead show.  I'd never seen them before.  I think they're probably almost my favorite group of all time.  I should be balls out happy to see them.  But I wasn't happy. Not by a long shot.

The Nissan Pavilion is the antichrist of venues.  I will never go back.  If you want to see a show and you want to see the whole thing, go somewhere else.  If there's a spot of rain it's entirely likely that you'll miss a portion of the show, or the whole thing, just because the country bumpkins out there can't keep a road from washing out.  

Why the hell did Radiohead play there?  It defies all logic.  They're supposedly an ecologically conscious group. Yet they choose to play a venue 30 miles away from DC.  They could have played at any number of places in the city, but they chose Bristow, VA.  Fucking hell.  It took us over 2 hours to traverse 5 miles.  We missed most of the show.  We got there in time for the last song before Radiohead did their encore, so we got maybe 5 songs in total.  

It was raining, but I didn't care.  The wind was howling, but I didn't care.  All I cared about was that I was no longer driving, and that I finally got to see them play, even if it was only a few songs and the lawn speakers weren't on.  

Will I go see them again, given the chance? Yes, of course.  Will I ever go see them again in Northern Virginia?  Fuck no.  That was the worst show of my life.  I've been through some stupid shit at shows, but this really takes the cake.  I enjoyed myself, but not $75 worth.

I hope Nissan Pavilion gets washed out by the next big storm.  Nobody should run a venue the way they do. They're the kind of people that drove me from going to shows in the first place.

O André (Audiatur et altera pars) que me apresentou.

• Bom feriado para vocês.

Ohhhh unlucky girl, she really thought this time could be different but NOOO... he left her high and dry, like all the others, maybe worse, coz at least the others never made the "nice boy" scene to get her in their bed!"

"All your life is such a shame,shame,shame.
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream."

 I’ve run my course.

My shelf life has visibly diminished in light of new evidence.

I’ve lost my orgasm.

People often loose things. Temper. Sense of humour.  Peace of mind. Their figure (although, this one I was scarcely, if ever, in possession of)

But how does one manage to lose one’s orgasm, you might well ask? Is it perhaps, a jar of mustard, lying unattended in the chiller of an impregnable refrigerator – cold...isolated..a lost cause?

A lost orgasm.

And believe you me, I have looked for it. It is now more elusive than the Aurora Borealis, the Loch Ness monster, Amelia Earhart, the Yeti, Bermuda Triangle, Britney Spears’ sanity, or indeed, Islam’s tolerance of other faiths.

Perhaps, you’re thinking I’m one of those who are frequently in the habit of loosing things? It is true to say that I can’t find the square root of the hypotenuse either, but that’s hardly responsible for this mid-life crisis I find myself in for the present.

My muff’s in a huff. My kitten’s left high and dry.

Sir Nicolii has well and truly, left the building.

EVR-1/005/06

g ngga tau apa u tau ini atau ngga tau. gapapa, selama g tau klo u tau g. dan u tau klo g tau u. [duh.. apa2an si'?] ini cuma tentang satu hal yang baru2 aja berhasil g dapetin: satu keluarga baru di luar keluarga biologis g.

emang g masih ngga tau g lagi berada di mana. kdang g ngga kya orang lagi skripsi. kadang g ngga kya orang di hari2 terakhir kuliah. dan kadang g ngga kaya orang yang tergila2 ama biotek.

tapi g ada di sini, menerakan di kepala g serangkaian basa2 nitrogen yang bisa nentuin ukuran hidung u sampai virulensi HIV. g tetep menjalani biotek, ga peduli kapan, dimana, apa, siapa, dan bagaimana semua ini akan berujung.

dengan status cekal kuliah, dan menunggu bisa menyelesaikan tugas akhir. skarang g mulai mikir... apa g ngerasa klo g ngga cukup dapat tekanan buat mendorong diri g ke maksimal, atau emang ngga ada hal2 khusus yang perlu dikuatirkan??

jadi, 2006 adalah…

* industry visit SC ke bogasari, camping ekowisata SC+EVR di halimun [at my 20th b’day.. dgn manusia ngemeng di samping g, yg nyelametin g pertama kali.. hehehe. what a day..], makrab ftb [nite of fun!!], wisuda dan farewell nak biotek 2002 [kapan giliran g yaa?], piala dunia 2006 di jerman, diklatsar evr [perjuangan yg aga panjang..*sigh* bersama teman2..so its not that hard anyway], ts innovation award, outbound 2006 [kepanitiaan #1 sjak jd nak evr, cukup 13 hari saja..], ftb games.. * halimun, parakan salak, gerben, situgunung… [defeated mounts.. so wats next? the everest? hehehe.. gubrakk..pede gila!] * (buku) harry potter 6, eldest, (film) harry potter 4, eragon, the da vinci code.. * j.co, ring master, rotiboy, breadtalk, solaria, the buffett, cibubur 21.. * mikrobiologi, tekfermen, biocend, bmkp, biotektan, diagmol, PKL, pra-skripsi.. * letto, nidji, samsons, kerispatih, ratu, mr.a-z, teddy geiger, james morrison, john mayer, mcr, muse..

boud gaby,, sepertinya g makin pait,, makin sinis bgt ama hidup [buat yg kenal saia dari dulu, maapkan saia yah..], skalipun g dapet tmen2 baru yg banyak skali juga [ah snanknya],, byk yang dipengenin tapi ga bisa didapetin, skalipun g emang ga bikin “resolusi” siy,, dan g masi aja susah percaya ma orang,, masih cupu,, blom brani ngomong ma orang2 ttt [including dan terlebih ama ‘manusia itu’],, masih suka telat [ckckckk…emang ga tersembuhkan ni kynya..],, tambah males masuk kelas,, masih susah dibilangin,, males pulang skalipun diusir2 ma orang sekre [hehehe,,] tambah males tidur,,, skalipun klo uda tidur ga ada yang brani bangunin [usaha yang sia2 kali yah..],, jelek bgt dah,,

nambah umur bukannya hidup nambah beres ya,, dasar,, makanya sumtimes g males jadi manusia besar,,,, next time better deh, doakan saia yah,, to be a better person,, and win the fight against myself,, jia you gaby,, ^_^v

(bagaimana kalau)

gimana klo kemaren g uda tau kejadiannya bakal… pasti g…

gimana klo hari ini g ga usa ngelakuin… pasti skarang g lagi…

gimana klo besok g mulai menyelesaikannya… g mungkin akan bisa…

dan gimana klo g bener berharap klo g bisa kembali ke waktu dimana g bisa memperbaiki hari ini, atau besok.

tapi ternyata emang ga harus gitu, kesannya ada yang maksa qta buat ngelakuin segala sesuatunya. kesannya qta ga nerima apa yang uda terjadi. kesannya apa yang uda terjadi bisa diputerin trus dibenerin lagi. padahal sebenernya ngga, qta cuma perlu tau klo qta uda melakukannya, dan belajar dari itu.

pengen jalanin aja apa yang bisa dijalanin. karna satu hal aja, qta ga tau apa yang bakal qta dapet. hari ini, atau besok.

good day ^^

And other times I feel like I should go.

Through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.

When you’re gone we want you all to know...

We’ll carry on.
We’ll carry on.
And though youre dead and gone.
Believe me.
Your memory will carry on.
Carry on.
We’ll carry on.
And in my heart I cant contain it.
The anthem wont explain it.

[welcme to the blck parad - my chemcal romnce]

kya film memento, walopun di memento dari awal ampe akhir beneran dibolak-balik (pusing g nontonnya, tapi mayan dnk buat ngelatih ingatan), yg identity ini belakang”nya emg uda ga ada lagi alur kya gitu, tapi teteup endingnya keren…i love it. ending yang ga terduga. kya planet of the apes, the others, sixth sense. yang pasti bakal lebih seru klo ga ada spoiler dari ‘kiri dan kanan’, jadi g emang ga bakal nulisin endingnya identity di sini dan saat ini…

starring-nya john cusack. yg main film serendipity. entah ada apa dgn film ni, entah filmya emang bagus atau lagi ada mr.cusack ini. tapi g suka serendipity. film tentang kebetulan” dan pertanda” yang dialami dan dipahami sama dua manusia yang awalnya ga saling kenal. tergantung setting pikiran masing” orang sih, pertanda itu emang beneran ada apa kga.

tapi g tmsk percaya kalo ada kekuatan yang ngasih tau kita akan satu hal penting, padahal kita ga sedang mencoba buat mencari tau. emang dia ngga nyuruh kita secara langsung buat melakukan sesuatu, tapi kita kadang bisa tau dan ngerti gitu aja apa yang dicoba diksitau. tapi tetep aja sih, masi banyakan ga ngertinya g… ^_^’

(Wikipedia) Serendipity: to make discoveries, by accident and sagacity, of things not in quest of.

huhh… satu lagi ujiannya, ujian lab pula (deuh… hari gini masi lab) but..still.. ^o^ hopeful. smoga g bisa ngalahin yg satu ini… amen. good nite, god bless.
