Me, You & Everyone I know..

Still a little bit of your taste
in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced
with my doubt
Still a little hard to say
what's going on

Still a little bit of your ghost
your witness
Still a little BIT of your face
I haven't kissed
You step a little closer
EACH DAY
Still I can't SAY
what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float
like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song
in my ear
Still a little bit of your words
I long to hear
You step a little closer
TO ME
So close that I can't see
what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float
like a cannon

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't WANNA scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

snippet from the title act...


Christine: I'm not following you.
My car's parked over there.


Richard: In Smart Park?


Christine: No, on Front Street.



Richard: Oh, I parked in Smart Park.



Christine: So, at the end of the next block
we'll separate. At Tyrone Street.



Richard: Yeah, the "Ice Land" sign is halfway.
It's the halfway... point.



Christine: Ice Land is—
It's kind of like that point
in a relationship, you know...where you suddenly realize
it's not gonna last forever.
You know, you can see the end in sight.
Tyrone Street.



Richard: Yeah, but we're not even there yet.



Richard: We're still at the good part.
We're not even sick of each other yet.



Christine: I'm not sick of you at all.
And wow! It's been a good like six months, right?



Richard: What? Six months?
Then the Ice Land sign is like eight months. You think we'd only last
a year and a half?



Christine: I don't know. I don't
want to be presumptuous.
I don't know if you're married or what.


Richard: I'm not. Well, I'm separated.
We separated last month.
I was thinking...that Tyrone...was like years away at least.



Christine: Yeah?


Richard: Yeah.



Christine: Okay. Well, actually
I was thinking...
Tyrone is, like, when we die of old age.
And this is, like, our whole life together, this block.



Richard: See, that's perfect.
Let's do it that way.


Christine: Okay.



…………………walking………….


Christine: Well, guess it can't be avoided.
Everyone dies.



Richard: I could walk you to your car.


Christine: Maybe we should just be glad...
That we lived this long,good life together.
You know, it's so much more than most people ever get to have.



Richard: Okay.

Christine: Okay.
Well, don't be afraid.


Richard: Okay.



Christine: Here we go.


Richard: Here we go.





A Fei jing juen (Days of being wild, 1991)


Yuddy: I've heard that there's a kind of bird without legs that can only fly and fly, and sleep in the wind when it is tired. The bird only lands once in its life... that's when it dies.


...........

Yuddy: I used to think there was a kind of bird that, once born, would keep flying until death. The fact is that the bird hasn't gone anywhere. It was dead from the beginning.

float like a cannonball...

Of all the parts I’ve been given to play
That of your lover
Was the best by far
And who changed the script I will never know
But the best part of you with me
Will always be the part
Of my act
That everyone sees as the best of me

last act from Garden State....


HE: What are you thinking about?

SHE: You're not coming back, are you?

HE: Come on, Sam.
Of course I am.

SHE: No, you're not.
You don't realize this is good.
This doesn't happen often.
In your life, you know?
I mean, this...
We can work this stuff out.
I want to help you,you know?
We need each other.
I haven't even lied in, like, two days.


HE: Is that true?

SHE: No.

HE: Look, this isn't...
This isn't a conversation
about this being over.
It's... It's...
I'm not puttin' a period at the end of this, you know?
I'm puttin', like,an ellipsis on it.
Because I'm-I'm worried that if I don't go figure myself out...
if I don't go, like,land on my own two feet...
then I'm gonna fuck this whole thing up,
and this is too important.
I gotta go. I...
Gotta go.
I fired my psychiatrist.
I gotta go find a new one.
Look, I'm gonna call you when I get there.
I'm gonna call you.
Look at me.
Look at me.
You changed my life.
You changed my life,and I've known you four days.
This is the beginning of something really big.
But right now, I gotta go.


SHE: Come here.


announcer:… Final boarding call for all...
...Take your seats as quickly as possible.



- SHE: What are you doing?

- HE: Remember that idea I had about
working stuff out on my own...
and then finding you once I figured stuff out?

SHE: The ellipsis?


HE: Yeah. The ellipsis. It's dumb.
It's dumb. It's an awful idea.
And I'm not gonna do it, okay?
'Cause like you said, this is it.
This is life...
and I'm in love with you, Samantha.
I think that's the only thing I've ever been really sure of in my entire life.
I'm really messed up now,and I got a lot of stuff I gotta work out.
But I don't want to waste any more of my life without you in it, okay?


- SHE: Yeah.

- HE: And I think I can do this! I mean, I want to.


- HE: We have to, right?

- SHE: Yeah!


- HE: Right?


- SHE: Yes!


HE: So what do we do?

What do we do?



Don't hold yourself like that
You'll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
But that's all I need
Don't build your world around volcanoes melt you down

What I am to you is not real
What I am to you you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea

Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need?
Don't drag my love around
volcanoes melt me down

What I am to you is not real
What I am to you you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea
Is just what I'm going through
This is nothing new
No no just another phase of finding what I really need
Is what makes me bleed
And like a new disease she's still too young to treat
Volcanoes melt me down
She's still too young
I kissed your mouth
You do not need me

my lawyer made me change the name of this blog so i wouldn't get sued...

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God, your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others."


..i still remember reading this quote pinned on the wall of a youth hostel in Nairobi and the shivers it sent down my spine...


opening scene, Chong qing sen lin (chungking express)

1
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,026
Every day we brush past
so many other people.

2
00:01:06,602 --> 00:01:09,435
People we may never meet...

3
00:01:09,505 --> 00:01:13,769
or people who may become close friends.

4
00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:18,905
I'm a cop, No. 223.
My name's He Qiwu.

5
00:01:28,886 --> 00:01:29,875
Freeze!

6
00:01:57,742 --> 00:02:00,404
This was the closest we ever got.

7
00:02:00,477 --> 00:02:02,968
Just 0.01 of a centimetre between us.

8
00:02:04,614 --> 00:02:06,707
But 57 hours later...

9
00:02:06,783 --> 00:02:08,716
I fell in love with this woman.




We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet: and, amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us.
Maurice Maeterlinck



Voor ik haar kende
was mijn wereld veel kleiner.
Ik bleef op mezelf, ik had niemand nodig en daar ging ik prat op.
Maar in feite...schaamde ik me voor wat ik was.
Ik was bang dat als ze zagen hoe anders ik echt was...ze zich van me zouden afkeren.
______ zag hoe anders ik was.
Maar ze keerde zich niet af.
Ze wilde juist meer zien
voor 't eerst in mijn leven...
wilde iemand me zoals ik was.
Dat veranderd mij. Voorgoed.
Vanaf de dag dat ik haar ontmoetten,
was mijn eenzaamheid voorbij.
Ik wil mijn verdere leven met haar delen.
Bestraal me met jou gloed..




`I am just pointing all this out to you. It doesn't mean that facts need frighten you. Facts are there to observe. If you observe them they never frighten you. Facts are not frightening. But if you want to avoid them, turn your back and run, then that is frightening. To stand, to see that what you have done may not have been totally correct, to live with the fact and not interpret the fact according to your pleasure or form of reaction, that is not frightening. Life isn't very simple. One can live simply but life itself is vast, complex. It extends from horizon to horizon. You can live with few clothes or with one meal a day, but that is not simplicity. So be simple, don't live in a complicated way, contradictory and so on, just be simple inwardly....'

d'Amor À Flor da Pele

fuck you just cos you went to Thailand for 2 months don’t mean you're down with your south pacific brothers. Fuck you and your tribal tattoos zooming up your neck.

fuck the red man: no I really think it’s ok to make a little song to give kids some traffic awareness but it’s 2 a.m on a Monday morning, cross the road you fucking sheep.

latest news flash: the green man is not real, he won’t tell you when there’s a drunk driver or some reckless immigrant on a bike coming to squish your 4 year olds brains out. Try looking before you cross dickhead or at least teach it to your kids you idiot

fuck you boss

fuck you and your fucken scooter hooning round on the bike lane at 70 k’s. That’s about as cool as your buffalo shoes and your greasy hair and that funny way you wear your hat. Get a bike you baby. Talking of bikes, fuck you for stealing my bike at roskilde that day I hope you crash into some immigrant in his boom-boom car

fuck you bartender where’s my discount

fuck you and your dingdingding bike styles. You’re gonna save about 3 minutes a year wizzing round like a crack addict on laxatives. Chill out and enjoy the ride

Fuck all the geeese in Canada

Quando non si sa dove si, si sappia da dove si viene




"An adult is one who has lost the grace, the freshness, the innocence of the child, who is on longer capable of feeling pure joy, who makes everything complicated, who spreads suffering everywhere, who is afraid of being happy, and who, because it is easier to bear, has gone back to sleep. The wise man is a happy child."
- Arnaud Desjardins




I love women

I love them in all their curvy, giggling, flowery smell glory. I love when they dance. I love when they throw back their hair and laugh their heads off. I love when they can’t open jars. I love that look retarded when they throw a ball. I love when they wear skirts. I love when they smile at me. Those smiles tug at heartstrings deep inside me: heartstrings which are apparently connected directly to my penis. Nature’s original winch mechanism, patent pending….

Think of my love for women as the balance in a bank account. It rises and falls (some bank accounts do rise, I’ve verified this with several authorities but they do concede that it’s rare and agree that I’ll probably never see one). It can even be a negative value. I always love all women. It’s just that the strength of this love waxes and wanes. I am the tide. I can actually show you. Turn on your stereo, turn up the music, watch the little digital display for the graphic equalizer bounce up and down. That’s my eternal rollercoaster, right there, right in your bedroom on your stereo and you never knew.

Imparare a vivere e imparare a lasciar andare




...but how am I going to prevent myself becoming an ordinary, average, mediocre person?'
`If I may suggest, never under any circumstances ask "how". When you use the word "how" you really want someone to tell you what to do, some guide, some system, somebody to lead you by the hand so that you lose your freedom, your capacity to observe, your own activities, your own thoughts, your own way of life. When you ask "how" you really become a secondhand human being; you lose integrity and also the innate honesty to look at yourself, to be what you are and to go beyond and above what you are. Never, never ask the question "how". We are talking psychologically, of course. You have to ask "how" when you want to put a motor together or build a computer. You have to learn something about it from somebody. But to be psychologically free and original can only come about when you are aware of your own inward activities, watch what you are thinking and never let one thought escape without observing the nature of it, the source of it. Observing, watching. One learns about oneself much more by watching than from books or from some psychologist or complicated, clever, erudite scholar or professor...
