Warpalawas
Warpalawa(s) was a late 8th century BC (ca 730-710 BC?) Late Hittite (or Neo-Hittite) king of Tabal in south-central Anatolia (modern Turkey). The political center of this Early Iron Age regional state was probably Tuwanuwa (or Tuwana or Tuhana/ later Roman Tyana).
Among other commemorative monuments, Warpalawas most notably commissioned the carving of the İvriz relief, a rock relief at the site of Ivriz near a spring, south of Tuwanuwa in the province of Konya. In the relief, he is depicted with the storm-god Tarhunzas. His attire in the relief is seen as an evidence for his kingdom's close affinity with the Phrygians. The relief is accompanied with a hieroglyphic Luwian inscription. The Tabalian king Urballa, mentioned in the Assyrian texts at the time of Tiglath-pileser III and Sargon II probably is Warpalawas.

You're Blase
by: Ella FitzgeraldYou're deep just like a chasm
You've no, enthusiasm
You're tired and uninsipired.
You're blase.
Your day is one of leisure
In which you search for pleasure.
You're bored when you're adored.
You're blase.
While reaching for the moon,
And the stars up in the sky,
The simple things of normal life
Are slowly passing by.
You sleep, the sun is shining;
You wake, its time for dining.
There's nothing new for you to do
You're blase.

While reaching for the moon,
And the stars up in the sky,
The simple things of normal life
Are slowly passing by.
You sleep, the sun is shining;
You wake, its time for dining.
There's nothing new for you to do
You're blase.
Blase.
