Phoebe Bridgers, plays in the full moon night of Lunar Twilight 2022. This is the night where fullness of 2022 comes back for en encore performance. Not all Lunar Twilight's get a Full Moon evening.
The length of Lunar Twilight depends on the
cycle of the Moon and New Years. Only if a lunar cycle begins before
13 Days before New Years, will a Lunar Twilight celebration get a Full
Moon. Last Year, Lunar Twilight only lasted one night. On the rare
occasion that a New Moon falls on December 31st, then Lunar Twilight
will last its maximum of 29 nights into January, but never unto
February.
Bottom Line is you have an extra excuse to keep the Christmas Tree lights and decoration hung until the end of Lunar Twilight, which ends on January 21, 2023.
In one live performance, the essential badge of the band can be seen on the Bass Dram, which has become the defacto flag or vexilloid within the Music industry. And note, military drums always had the colors and symbols of the nation as well.
The third night of Lunar Twilight 2022 is upon us, whence during the first few nights of 2023, an echo of 2022 returns. The magic of this holiday rests on the cycle of the Moon, whose current phase began last year. The Moon acts as the fading ember of Yesteryear, allowing for clemency and an extra chance to say goodbye. Another aspect of Lunar Twilight is to savor the past.
In this case, the ending theme music of the Super Mario 2 carries this theme. Looking back at life, the past is made up of layers of memory from dreams that merge with the real world, such that both worlds become one in the rear view of the minds eye.
Life is in a way like its own kind of video game with its rules, obstacles, hazards, power ups, and friendly folks who are willing to help. Where do all those elements and persons in a dream go when it ends? Are they simple figments of ones imagination? Do we suffer from schizophrenia when we dream? Or are there other layers of reality beyond the waking world? Where do all your old classmates go after graduation? What about all the old bosses and co-workers from past jobs? They all seem to disappear into the ether. Yet looking back, the warm glow of nostalgia forevermore glows in a past that once was, once upon a time. We have a collective memory of books, movies, music, and now video games.
Super Mario Bros 2 was all just a dream where we help Mario defeat the Frog King to rescue the dream fairies. The ending music is something like a lullaby. As is life, lullabies are sung to us as children, that merge into memory, provide a layer of love that seeds certain gifts in the imagination. Perhaps something of Forrest Gump in this tune, that has carried on in other forms. Who knows how this game and song has manifested into new permutations of song and play? And who can recount the times it influenced a dream?
It is the second night of Lunar Twilight, which is a time when the nights of 2022 return unofficial. Reason being the last Moon of 2022 carries the remainder of yesteryear's gift. During the day its 2023, but at night 2022, is able to hang on. During this time self-reflection is a key theme.
It is a solemn holiday, that is an extra bonus to say goodbye and make amends. Life sometimes changes on dime, and at others it takes its sweet time to say farewell.
Happy New Year, but alas for January 2023 we have a 20 day transition period due to the phases of Moon. The New Year is based upon one trip around the Sun, but the Moon has its own schedule. In this case, the last Moon of 2022 till carry on in January until January 20, 2023. Thus when the Sun sets for the first 20 days of January 2023, it reverts to the year 2022 in a spiritual sense. Thus we have 20 extra days to make amends, clemency, and say good bye. This is a time of soulful reflection.
The song Porcelain by Moby captures the reflective feels of this open holiday for all.
In contrast to other holiday's that have candle mast, all the candles are lit at the first night at sunset. When the lowest candle goes out the rest are blown out until then next following day at sunset, as the Moon is allowed to rule the skies alone. Eventually, as each night progresses, there will be fewer and fewer candles until one is left. Also note, that candles are synchronized to the phases of the Moon, thus it reflects the luminosity of the Moon. Upon the last night, all the candles will be out when there is a New Moon.
Gonfalon's are large flags. The neat thing about these types of flag is that they are presented properly and don't sag. The face is of the flag is set up on a cross bar so that the image can be properly admired.
It was during the special the Sesame Street, the Muppets, and Fraggle Rock all collided into each other. It was made during Jim Henson's peak and the writing and jokes are not just for children, as they hit for adults as well.This is another long, lost American Christmas classic, that hits a home run and should be at the top of every Christmas list replay to get the holly jolly sprit a flowing.
They are the few, the proud, the US Marines. The colours of the military branch is red and yellow. You can see the livery of the colors within the training platoon 3092. 1987 was year that public got an up close and personal view of how the Marines train.
Leaning to dance with the angel of death is privilege. Taking on this responsibility requires a certain amount of training and is a heavy burden on the heart and soul. Harsh language and being called mean names is the least of one's worry when one is assigned with ending the life of another.
Note the IJN numerical signal flags were retired after WWII or the Great Pacific War. They are rare sort to find, but they do exist.

The second place runner up of famous number's is Euler's Number, but pronounced more like 'Oiler's Number'. Thus the flag of 'e' or rather the flag of 'oy' is a superstar in maths.
Here we take the NATO numerical flags coded to 2, 7, and 1, to give us this sweet flag.

2020 was a year for the history books of social governance. It was during the South Park Covid Special that that unique vexilloid made an appearance. Cartman created a safety flag waving device that people were supposed to maintain. It was a red flag with the number six upon it with an apostrophe that represented feet, which converts to 1.828 meters, which is rounded up to two meters, which is about two door knob lengths away.
The flags are similar to the flag of Russia, except for the top bar which is light blue for Lugansk and black for Donetsk.
Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are also soon to be incorporated into Mother Russia shortly. But they never existed as breakaway republics.
Texas had good 10 year run as an independent breakaway republic before it was annexed into the USA, but it looks like the Donetsk and Luhansk Republics will not break the Texan ten-year standard. These republics lasted from 2014 to 2022, in limbo, and their time in limbo will soon be over.
But the Transnistria Republic snuggled in between Moldova and Ukraine is holding the record for Eastern Europe with 32 years as a mostly unrecognized republic since 1990.
Here is the Doylestown Borough Flag in all its glory and action, at the recently created park in front of the new Borough Hall. Notice the date incorporation is on the flag as 1838, which went on line during the presidency of Martin Van Buren.

Attention to detail for this sequel was paramount. When Eddie returns to America for the 2nd time, his limousine is decked out with gold fringed car flags.
Of flags in the movie, during the ordering scene during the Cap'n Kelly Chicken board, chickens along the bottom can be seen walking towards the right with banners attached to their tail feathers. One of the banners read "Trust Your Cravings."
The decal on the hat of the disembodied customer service Cap'n Kelly Chicken has with a uniquely drawn anchor, which effectively represents their brand.
Strawberry Mansion is a movie of the Naked Lunch variety, but its set design and art direction are hypnotically stunning, worthy of an academy award. It is truly a work of art, that tells a fun story with a message, without the giving one a beating on the head, unlike the mainstream political jackhammer of tinsel town.
Tired of the Hollywood schlock? Give this movie a try, it's a dreamy trip made with heart on dime.
The movies predicted the band Green Day would still be popular in the year 2022. Just Amazing! Green Day needs to make a song called "Soylent Tuesday!"
It is so trippy look at a book from 1973 that shows the past from 2015 to 2019. Back in 1973, 2022 seemed light years away. From now, of the year 2022, that is like the year 2071! Believe it or not much will have changed. As Louis Zorich said in his seminal role of Chef Pete in Pete's Diner from The Muppets Take Manhattan, "Peoples are Peoples."
