On the MUSIC page: my discovery of Celtic Thunder
Posted: 27-Aug-2025
It’s been some time since I stumbled upon the Irish music group
Celtic Thunder.
I fell in love with their music because their taste in music closely resembles mine. Today, I have a collection of nearly 50 of their performances, which are mostly covers of some top songs from the present and past like A Thousand Years (Christina Perri/David Hodges), Castle on the Hill (Ed Sheeran/Benny Blanco), Just a Song at Twilight (James Lynam Molloy), and The Dutchman (Michael Peter Smith).
I invite you to check them out without delay.

A story that winds itself around the aftermath of the Second Crusade (1147-1149)
Posted: 25-Aug-2025
It’s 15 years after the dismal Second Crusade (1147-1149). King Conrad of Germany's army suffered a humiliating defeat, while
King Louis' army also lost despite fighting more creditably against the more powerful Muslims under Sultan Mesud.
“What went wrong?” “Why did the Muslims appear invincible?” They asked as they bitterly ruminated on the failure. Quite naturally, they were thinking of strategies of how to get ahead of the Muslims and win the next Crusade. They thought one was to examine the invincible armor of the Muslims carefully and discover chinks, hoping to exploit those weaknesses and turn the tide against them.
It was with this intent that the King of Cölln (Germany) sent Prince Dietrich, his son, on a mission to discover flaws on the Muslims’ side. He would meet and elicit detailed accounts about the war from three chosen Christian war veterans living in different, distant places.
In this story of trust, loyalty, betrayal, and resourcefulness, Prince Dietrich obtains the information required from his travels abroad, kills his father’s backstabbing senior priest, and reclaims the kingdom from him on his return.

An endangered “Star” they once called the United States of America is waning. Will it go extinct?
Posted: 18-Aug-2025
Nearly 250 years have rolled by since America came into existence on 4th July, 1776. And nearly 75 years since it became the
world’s preeminent nation.
It needs no introduction, and everywhere in the world we’ve been witnessing its rise to glory and reign in preeminence.
However, along the way, forces derailed the ideals that once united it. Now, Senators and Congressmen, greedy for personal gain and power, by putting themselves first, threaten to tear down its democratic structure. Kindness has evaporated. The result? The once famous “Star” is slowly inching to a painful death!

Reason, to Truth, to Meaning. How to find meaning and purpose in life and redeem yourself from a worthless existence
Posted: 18-Aug-2025
We need to rewind and start when we were babies. If you remember, as babies, we observed people,
objects and life in motion around us.
The reasoning process began innately: we tried to figure out how the people and objects we saw kept life ticking. As we grew up, we learned to differentiate between true and false; good and bad. Finally, when we became adults, we sought after meaning: do I have a meaningful role in life? Does it matter that I exist? If I suddenly disappear, will anyone ever notice or miss me?
This book discusses the philosophy of meaning. Genuine meaning and purpose are essential for existence. If you don’t have it, chances are that you’re depressed and vulnerable to despair.
But all is not lost! If you don’t have meaning and purpose yet, you can create it! Let this book comfort, help and show you how!

A twice-told fairy tale combining Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Andrew Yang’s Fairer-than-a-Fairy, yet truly new!
Posted: 11-Aug-2025
This story is a delightful hybrid,
born from the fusion of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream and Andrew Lang’s Fairer-than-a-Fairy
(see the Yellow Fairy Book). Yet it has a unique identity, different from both its parents thanks to the author’s personal touches
and imaginative tweaks.
While Fairer-than-a-Fairy was the starting point, it leans more toward A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Suitable for kids under eighteen and older kids (i.e. grown-ups) who haven’t entirely lost interest in fairy tales!
