che ci fosse qualcosa di speciale in te, l’avevo capito, ma chi ti ha detto di guardarmi dentro così?
non ti ho mai confidato le cose che racconti di me, eppure le sai.
ogni tanto per strada, mi fermi e all’orecchio mi dici cose che preferirei non sapere: -lo vedi quello? ha gettato nel fiume in un sacco la covata della sua gatta e ora non ci dorme la notte-.
a colazione racconti i miei sogni appena fatti, anche le parti che al mattino ho già dimenticato, e se mi siedo scomposto, ecco che mi rimproveri.

My fathers wrist after falling down a flight of stairs. He is the toughest man I know but the mortal frame is no match for gravity in a fight.

The bodhrán is one of Ireland's oldest traditional musical instruments.
The bodhrán is the iconic Irish drum, one of a small select family of Celtic instruments that is stated to pre-date Christianity.
Ireland has a deep-rooted and rich musical heritage we are very familiar with. But how much do we really know about this distinctive Irish drum?
Despite existing for thousands of years, the first early appearances of the bodhrán drum were featured in paintings from the early nineteenth century, whilst in contemporary culture, the earliest recordings began to appear on the music scene in the 1960s.
The name bodhrán comes from Gaelic and is believed to translate to the words 'skin tray'. This is probably accurate, given the Celtic instruments' use in its earliest incarnations.
History of the Bodhrán
The first mentions and uses of the bodhrán drum make it clear that the bodhrán was a tool first, musical instrument second. Originally a flat wide vessel, the bodhrán has been used to carry peat.
It has also been cited as being a winnowing basket in its original purpose. Winnowing is what is done to wheat to separate out the hard, spikey coverings from the soft kernels. Winnowing baskets and peat carriers were useful tools found in most houses at the time, and it is believed that people discovered that these tools made a pleasant sound when turned over and tapped!
The traditional bodhrán in Ireland was not so much a musical instrument for pleasure and entertainment but instead, it was used as a tool in certain rituals and holy days.
Throughout history, the bodhrán was employed by Irish clans as a battle drum in attempts to strike fear in the hearts of enemies. The drum was likely used to provide a steady rhythm for Celtic warriors to march to.
It was only in the 1960s that the bodhrán drum began to emerge on the music scene. Sean Ó Riada popularised the bodhrán drum in his exploration of his musical culture and background. Ó Riada's work led to a resurgence for the bodhrán as a piece of Irish musical heritage. This has led to the famous saying that “the bodhrán is an old drum but a new musical instrument."
Trying out my new Xray film.
looks like it's developing at ISO 0.7 in caffenol :(
Next I'll try caffenol +parodinal.
not sure what caused the sludgy look in the Lower Right Hand corner.
I went in for a CT Scan yesterday, and pulled out my phone. The tech gave me quizzical look, and I just shrugged and smiled.

Xray sent back to me.
Now, I remembered all of a sudden my mishap. So, when this was given to me by the radiographer/radiologist she said: “Congratulations! You just fractured your thumb. And you did it pretty well.” Then she smiled, and I was left stunned there for a while. For a second, my whole world stopped and I was grasping what she just told me - and what was that smile was all about (?). Questions like What’s gonna happen to me now?, Would this still come back to normal?, What about my career?, Would I still be able to play my guitar?, What about my photography?, What about my handwriting?, How will I tell this to my parents (Am I gonna die?) and so on were running in my mind. Then, I got a hold of myself and asked her what does she meant by what she just said. She explained things. I left with some more questions.
On the train I saw this man seated in front me. He was blind. He was holding his guiding stick and I think, he became the subject of everyone’s attention. I saw the looks on their faces. Some felt sympathy, others were apathetic and were just staring at him because he’s incapable. Me, I felt sad about him. I felt sympathy. I thought that he was deprived of seeing the wonderful things around him - the colorful world that surrounds him. I felt sad. I pitied him. But you know what? He struck me bigtime. Oh yes, he sure did! It was his smile - his real big smile. I saw him smile when the conductor asked for his ticket and made a small talk with him. I was amazed of how he treats people. He may not be able to see them but he is smiling and all happy. He was like pure of optimism. He may not be able to play guitar, take photographs, or get to see his on handwriting but he is sure one happy and contented man.
Then all of a sudden, I think I knew the whole point of this: why such people co-exist with us in this sometimes-shitty world — to let every people know how God loves each one of us and to appreciate the little things that we have. It all became clear to me — What the heck am I whining about where in fact I’ve only got a fractured finger compared to this man who’s deprived of eyesight? I secretly smiled to myself. He got off the train. I got off the next station. Thanks to him I appreciated more Life. He sure was godsent to usO:-)
