Angst

A Song for the Lazy Day.

Golden brown texture like sun
Lays me down with my mind she runs
Throughout the night
No need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown

Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown finer temptress
Through the ages she’s heading

West
From far away
Stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown

Never a frown
With golden brown
Never a frown
With golden brown

In memory of Sandy Allen

Tonight i dreamt about a date.

Aug, 13 2008.

in the dream someone told me

“…and he will die on Aug, 13 2008…”

It’s true.

And all i found on the web is this article.

If someone knows something more about that date, please write me back.

Sandy Allen (June 18, 1955 – August 13, 2008) was an American woman recognized as the tallest woman in the world during her lifetime according to Guinness World Records. She was 7′ 7ΒΌ inches (232 cm) in height.

She came into the world weighing an average 6.5 pounds – but her abnormal growth began soon after her birth in June 1955. By the age of 10, Allen stood at 6 feet 3 inches tall and by the age of 16 she towered over 7 feet tall.

She wrote a book entitled Cast A Giant Shadow, and appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records since 1976. Her abnormal height was due to a tumor in her pituitary gland that caused it to release growth hormone uncontrollably. At age 22, she underwent surgery for the condition. Without this she would have continued to grow and suffer further medical problems associated with gigantism.

She appeared in the Academy Award-winning Italian film Il Casanova di Federico Fellini, in a TV movie called Side Show, and in a Canadian/American documentary film called Being Different. The New Zealand band Split Enz immortalized her in a song, “Hello Sandy Allen,” released on their 1982 album Time and Tide.

Allen used a wheelchair because her legs and back could not support her tall stature in a standing position. At one point in her life, she was bedridden due to disease, and consequently her muscles atrophied. Because of this physical limitation, she spent her last years in Shelbyville, Indiana in a retirement center, the same one as Edna Parker, the oldest living person in the world.

The Indianapolis Star reported that Allen died early in the morning of August 13, 2008.

At the time of her death, many websites were incorrectly identifying Allen as the second tallest woman in the the world, and Chinese woman Yao Defen as the tallest. The Guinness Book of World Records, however, identifies Allen as the tallest, while Yao’s official height is disputed.
