My birthday song, my happy world (Part 309)....

Badass Birthday

On this, the Month of Pride, it seems appropriate to say..

On this date, in 1963 in London England, George Micheal was born.

George Michael started out as half of Wham!, before breaking out on his own. He was a singer, songwriter, producer, and philanthopist. He became one of the best selling artist in music history.

He's won 2 Grammys, 4 American Music Awards, and has been inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame.

Here's just some of his high charting songs;

Bad Boys

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

Careless Whisper

Freedom

Everything She Wants

Last Christmas

I'm Your Man

I Knew You Were Waiting

I Want Your Sex

Faith

One More Try

Freedom '90

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me

Jesus To A Child

Fastlove

Sadly, he died on Christmas Day 2016 at the age of 53.

And of course, he was an out and proud gay man. Total Homo Badass!

This pic and text was sent to my mother and me by my cousin. This high chair is the one mom and dad for me when I was baby. Then mom just stored it up in the attic. When my cousin had her son 10 years ago, mom gave her the high chair to use, and when he outgrew it my cousin kept it in her attic. Then my cousin gave it to a friend of hers, who's daughter apparently loved it.

The same high chair (which was able to be modified as the child grew to be able to allow the kids to sit in it and play...which I apparently did, and my cousin's son did as well) was used for 50 years, and STILL in use a few years ago when this pic was taken.

Things were built to last back then!

Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1912, in London England, Alan Turing was born.

Alan Turing was a mathematician, scientist, logician, cryptanalyst and philospher. During World War II, he played a crucial role in dechiper the Germans codes which greatly benefited the Allies. After the war, he made groundbreaking contribuations to the field of theoretical computer science through the concepts of algorythims and computation he made for his Tuning Machine. Using what he learned there, he helped design the Automatic Computing Engine which was used to help create the Manchester computers. He is widely considered to be father fo Theoretical Computer Science.

It is apporpriate that we discuss him now, because Alan Turing was gay. In 1952, he was convicted of homosexual acts and, as an alternative to prison, was given what was essentially chemical castration. In 1954, at the age of 41 he died of cyanide poisoning, widely considered to be suicide.

In 2009, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made on official public apology for "the appalling way Turing was treated". In 2013, Queen Elizabeth II granted him a pardon. And in 2017, The Alan Turing Law retroactively pardoned all men convicted in the past of homosexual acts.

Despite all the did to defeat the Nazis, and all he contributed to the advent of computers, he was treated the same offensive and obscene way all gays were back then. And that's why people like him of the past, and what happened to him, needs to be known today.

Today, 21 years ago, in 2005, I made the first post to the Palace. It's right here,

It's just crazy to think that if my blog were a person, The Palace would now be able to legally drink alcohol.

In June 2005:

#1 movie: Batman Begins

#1 song: We Belong Together, by Mariah Carey

#1 tv show: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

George W. Bush was president

Tony Blair was UK Prime Minister

Paul Martin was Canadian Prime Minister

Benedict XVI was Pope

Barack Obama was a US Senator from Illinois

Joe Biden was a US Senator from Delaware

the orange shitgibbon was a theiving, rude, obnoxious, failed buinessman and 'star' of a mediocre TV reality show

The (ugh) New England Patriots was reigning NFL champion

The Chicago White Sox were on their way to winning their first World Series since 1917

The was no Stanley Cup winner due to a strike & lockout in the NHL

The San Antonio Spurs won the NBA finals.

In June 2005, the Ninth Doctor Who (Christopher Eccleston) regenerated into the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant).

Michael Jackson was aquitted by a California jury of molesting a 13 year old

Princess Alexia of the Netherlands, second daughter to the king Willem-Alexander, was born.

I was in the my ninth year in my current job.

I was 8 years living in my apartment and 4 years from buying my house.

My father, my mother's mother, and one of my mother's brothers were all alive. They've all since passed.

As, as mentioned above, Polt's Palace was created.

Twenty one freakin' years.......wow.......
