What blog can you go to and have a conversation about both britney spears AND the national anthem of east germany?
hmmmmm? okay we went a bit historical, but my interests seem to be all over the place, after a few more drag queens and pop references i might decide to make a bunch of posts about religion - who knows! tune in later to see what i am up to :)
ps - yeah - it's me....
finally - to balance rightist totalitarianism with leftist totalitarianism - the national anthem of east Germany
I actually think this is quite pretty - though a few have told me it sounds awful....
"Auferstanden aus Ruinen" (German for "Risen from the Ruins") was the national anthem of East Germany (German Democratic Republic (GDR), German: Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR)) during its existence from 1949 to 1990.
At the end of its last broadcast on 2 October 1990, the East German station Radio Berlin International signed off with an instrumental of Auferstanden aus Ruinen that segued into a rock-beat version of the Deutschlandlied."
Lyrics in english, first version ryhmes and you can sing along, second is more literal:
1: Official SED (German Socialist) English translation
"From the ruins risen newly,
to the future turned, we stand.
Let us serve your good weal truly,
Germany, our fatherland!
Triumph over bygone sorrow,
can in unity be won.
For we shall attain a morrow,
when over our Germany,
there is radiant sun,
there is radiant sun!
May both peace and joy inspire,
Germany, our fatherland.
Peace is all the world's desire,
to the peoples lend your hand!
In fraternity united,
we shall crush the people's foe.
Let all paths by peace be lighted,
that no mother shall again
mourn her son in woe,
mourn her son in woe!
Let us plough and build our nation,
learn and work as never yet,
that a free new generation,
faith in its own strength beget!
German youth, for whom the striving
of our people is at one,
you are Germany's reviving,
and over our Germany,
there is radiant sun,
there is radiant sun!"
2:
English translation that isn't singable as the first one is:
"Risen from the ruins
and faced towards the future,
Let us serve you for the good,
Germany, united fatherland.
Old woes have to be conquered,
and united so we shall,
For we must be successful for once
that the sun, beautiful as never before,
Shines over Germany,
shines over Germany.
Happiness and peace may be granted
Germany, our fatherland.
All the world longs for peace,
so Extend to the Peoples your hand.
When as brothers we unite,
we defeat the people's foe.
Let shine the light of Peace
so that no mother ever again must
Mourn her son,
mourn her son.
Let us plough, let us build,
do learn and work as never before,
And, with confidence in its own strength,
a free generation will come forth.
German youth, the best endeavor
of our people combined in you,
You will be Germany's new life.
And the sun, more beautiful than ever
Shines over Germany,
shines over Germany."
all very socialist and utopian as one might expect, although technically i don't see anything in there that would prohibit a united Germany from adopting this as their anthem either since the old lyrics from the existing deutschland Uber alless are now considered a bit politically incorrect and are no longer sung. or perhaps this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPdNG7xRReI ?
and - to get all the politically incorrect posts out of the way now - here are two youtube vids listed as "the anthem of the confederate south" -
which, if either, is correct?
or this one - which i thought was correct:
ok, on the monarchist subject - here is "Hitler's favorite Royal"
"Tradition is an argument used by Monarchists to justify keeping the monarchy, so here is a bit of that glorious tradition for you.
The story is about Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha but keep an eye out too for the Prince of Wales/King Edward VIII and his support for the Nazi's.
Also note Princess Alice trying to get the high ranking Nazi off the hook whilst the rest of the country were fighting and dying against them."

(Edited to a more youtube friendly length from the Channel4 documentary)
Monarchists of the year - 2008 prt 1 and 2
acknowledged - this is a very narrow subject of interest but i find it fascinating that so many young faces across Europe would prefer a monarchy to a simple republic. it may sound strange but i remember being stopped to be searched at the Canadian border between Quebec and New York State and being somewhat startled to see a portrait of Queen Elizabeth next to her "gracious proclamation" of autonomy for Canada. it's just something we forget all about here in the States.
part 1:
"Mitteleuropäische Monarchisten, monarchistische Studenten und Mitglieder von Traditionsregimentern versammeln sich in Wien nach dem Begräbnis Erzherzog Carl Ludwigs auf Einladung der SGA.
uncle matts probably imperfect translation (help anja or stephen k.! - care to translate, roughly, the rest of the text from the vids?):
"Middle-European Monarchists, monarchist students and their supporters from traditional ranks gather in Vienna for the afuneral of Carl Ludwig by the invitation of the SGA."
part 2:
rosie will like the funeral footage at the end of part two for the descendant and heir of the Habsburgs.
and a modern Russian monarchist - i appreciate his passion but maybe there is something a little over the top going on here? and why use a German song to glorify the tsar? well, actually - Catherine the great, tsarina Alexandra - oh - never mind - all the royal families of Europe were German really weren't they? anyone care to post a comment on what the original name of the English royal family of today was - before they became the Windsors?
why is this relevant? "WV: Highest Tooth Loss Rate in Nation?"
cuz last week i had a bicycle accident and two days later the tooth that got scrunched up in the accident but was at first just woobly finally fell out. so now i can make a great w.virginian impersonation :)
WV: Highest Tooth Loss Rate in Nation
http://www.wsaz.com/news/headlines/27955649.html
i was ridin along on labor day on my bicycle (mountain bike sounds better right?) and some big tractor trailer came from behind and the wind and the noise scared me and i swerved and hit the curb and took a little flight over the handle bars. first two days after i couldn't really use my right arm and i had this wobbly tooth and a gash in my lip. well, the tooth fell out on Wednesday, i kept it - its on my shelf. the scraps are mostly gone from my face - G_d bless neosporin! and the gash in my lip is finally closing up - it turned out that what i was least worried about - my lip - is the last thing to be taken care of - i just kept opening the gash back up cause you know how you can't help it when there is a cut or something in your mouth - it's like a magnet for your tongue. impossible almost! but i think today it is sealed shut and just will need a couple more to reshape itself back to normal. :)
