My Next Life
He's an actor, comedian, screenwriter, zazz musician, author, and playwright.
My Next Life, by Woody Allen, is a very interesting and hilarious story. It keeps making me laugh, so I figured I'd share it with you. xx
In my next life I want to live backwards.You start out dead and get that out of the way.
Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day.You get kicked out being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get
a gold watch and a party on your first day.
You work for forty years until you 're young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school.
You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play.
You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born.
And then you spend your last nine months floating in luxurious spa like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters everyday and then,
Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!
I rest my case.

Mark Highton Ridley is a talented photographer from Plymouth, UK. He is definitely a gifted artist and a master of Fine Art Monochrome Photography.
Black and White Photography carries a lot of depth and interest and all of his images are absolutely stunning.
Mark Highton Ridley's main site over at: http://www.highton-ridley.co.uk/ is all about the Fine Art of Monochrome Photography.
As he perspicaciously says "...colour is all fine and dandy. Some shots take my breath away in their appeal to my higher senses. But it takes b&w to pluck at my more basic primeval instincts.
I think it's that connection which attracts me to this genre."
I'm sure you'll love his excellent work as much as I did. xx

He was a Saxon architect who later became a Greek national
and in the late 1800s and early 1900s was a major designer of
royal and municipal buildings in Athens, Patras, and other major
Greek cities.
Iliou Melathon, a work of Ernst Ziller was one of the most
beautiful residences of Athens in the 19th century.
Situated on the "Boulevard", (E.Venizelou street today), it was
an impressive and glorious building of imposing architecture,
also expressing the eccentric personality of its owner Heinrich
Schliemann.
The statue of an Amazon of the Mattei type (above), a fabulous
statue, is still found today in the garden which is formed after
the Main Entrance.
All the statues of the garden are clay copies of ancient Greek
sculptures.

In the garden, apart from the multifarious trees, there were also
palm trees, cypresses, accacias and some other trees common
in Athens at that time.
Even though Schliemann was aware of the Virtues of eucalyptus
and personally took upon himself its promotion among the
the Athenians, it's not known whether these trees were planted
in the Iliou Melathron Garden.
Cats, poultry, and pigeons freely circulated in the
garden finding an ideal refuge in a paradise, in the heart of the city.
