Thoughts and Smiles of Honolulu

A L O H A !
Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton on Grooveshark
" You have to believe 
in yourself
 when no one
 else does
 that makes you 
a winner 
right there. "
                 Venus Williams








" We live on 
an island
 surrounded by
 a sea of ignorance. "
                       John Archibald Wheeler








" Eric Clapton 
always wanted to 
come out onstage
 with a stuffed parrot 
on his shoulder."
                         Neil Innes

    A lovely series of portraits! I feel that Eric Clapton should have gone with the parrot idea - Pirates are cool!!

    The young woman in the first photo looks depressed. I hope she's just tired, though.

    Of course there is quite a background story in this Clapton song... the tragic death of his son.

    Clapton and a stuffed parrot. Sounds like a title.

    The parrot fellow reminds me of a guy here who has several, and features them as something of a busking act in the summer.
