Mari saudara, sudah lama aku menunggumu
segera lepas sepatu bau itu
sebab kita akan berjalan-jalan
bertelanjang kaki saja
sambil mematuk biji-biji jagung dan
serangga kecil yang terlewati Mengapresiasi puisi Nissa, kenalan baru, tentang hujan dan wanita. Mungkin menurut dia, frekuensi dan intensitas penderitaan wanita berada pada puncaknya di musim hujan. Enjoy..
Hujan
Lagi lagi hujan turun. Kali ini cukup lebat. Hujan segera membasahi jalan, atap, mengalir di cabang-cabang pohon telanjang. Aku menyaksikan tarian hujan lagi pagi ini. Hujan selalu mengingatkanku pada sebuah cerita, bahwa setiap tetesan hujan adalah helaan napas seorang wanita yang terluka di suatu tempat di dunia ini. Setiap helaan napas itu terbang ke langit, berkumpul di awan, lalu dalam keheningan, turun kembali dan jatuh menimpa semesta di bumi.

Our brains, which art in our heads, treasured be thy name. Thy reasoning come. Thy best you can do be done on earth as it is.
Give us this day new insight to help us resolve conflict and ease pain. And lead us not into supernatural explanation; deliver us from denial of logic.
For thine is the kingdom of reason, and even though thy powers are limited, and you are not always glorious, you are the best evolutionary adaptation we have for helping this earth now and forever and ever.
So be it. (Amen) The desires of the heart are as crooked as corkscrews Not to be born is the best for man The second best is a formal order The dance’s pattern, dance while you can. Dance, dance, for the figure is easy The tune is catching and will not stop Dance till the stars come down with the rafters Dance, dance, dance till you drop. --W.H. Auden, "Death’s Echo" | waiting | Mar 19, '10 12:27 PM

current mood: anxious Waiting for a copy of Ayaan Hirsi Ali's piece.. Plus looking forward to having more series of adventure in a new land, far far away. Thanking Mum for the support and green light. Carpediem! Do not believe in what you've heard; do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations; do not believe in anything because it is roumored and spoken by many; do not believe merely because a written statement of some old sage is produced; do not believe in conjectures; do not believe in that as truth to which you have become attached from habit; do not believe merely the authority of your teachers and elders. After observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and gain of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. Buddha Gautama People should not be afraid of their governments.
Governments should be afraid of their people.

He said she was still crying. She is always able to express her feelings freely. Unlike him, I could never tell how he felt as I left. I think he was sad, too, although he has been very supportive and encouraging on the outside. But there's always an exception. I remember when we both cried, him and I, on my graduation day as we hugged. Even on the day before my W, he was the one shedding tear.. a lot of it. I really did not expect that, neither did everybody else.. considering the countless arguments that we had about almost everything. I knew it then that I had made the right decision to live apart from him. It's funny how distance brought us closer. Well, maybe I don't tell him enough, but I'm sure he knows that I really care for him. Happy Father's Day, Pak xoxo
Somebody is clearly responsible for introducing me to these stupid and offensive characters. The creators must be some kind of masculine perverts who've got enough wits or even idiocy to tickle my silly bone. Thanks to them, I've now become an incurable addict. I still prefer the comic version to the animation one, though. The presence of the characters' voice in the animation left pretty much nothing to imagination. Oh well, I've got to go and piss someone off now. | again | Jan 29, '09 4:23 PM

i've broken their hearts again now what does that make me? a heartless soul? a soul-less heart? couldn't bear the pain watching her with wet eyes
and for one more time they are torn with goodbyes
i guess i won't rest till i know they're home safe till we meet again Been devouring documentary productions of Richard Dawkins' theories online. I remember someone recommended Dawkin's latest book to discuss at the book club some time last year. I guess it's never too late to learn and come around now. I've gotta find the book as soon as I can for my own sake. So, catch you later peps!
Listening to: The Cardigans' Godspell. A match not made in heaven :) Oh, did you hear of Pope X'mas message.. that saving humanity from homosexual or transexual behaviour is just as important as saving the rainforest from distruction?? Kyrie eleison. I think that was just too absurd. Anyway, have a cracking Christmas and a tip-top 2009. No I don't wanna battle from beginning to end;
I don't wanna cycle or recycle revenge;
I don't wanna follow death and all his friends.
aah... the feeling I get everytime I listen to this brilliant song is like.. I wanna be born again
Happy mother's day, mother. | Lost? | Dec 19, '08 8:52 AM

Just because I’m losing
Doesn’t mean I’m lost
Doesn’t mean I’ll stop
Doesn’t mean I will cross Just because I’m hurting
Doesn’t mean I’m hurt
Doesn’t mean I didn’t get what I deserve
No better and no worse I just got lost
Every river that I’ve tried to cross
And every door I ever tried was locked
Oh, and I’m just waiting till the shine wears off… You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn’t mean you’ve won
‘Cause along may come
A bigger one
And you’ll be lost Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Oh, and I’m just waiting till the firing starts
Oh, and I’m just waiting till the shine wears off
Lyrics and poetry are one. There is no distance between them. (Do quote me on that..LOLs) Lost? is one of the songs that you can find in coldplay's latest viva la vida album, the most downloadable album of the year. You really shouldn't miss the brilliant blend of claymation and computer graphics by Paul O'Brien, the winner of Lost? video competition. Both video and the song blow me away.
I just recently got the viva la vida album from DJ Lazz, the coolest n most generous DJ I've known ;) Of the 10 songs, lost is currently my fave. Viva la vida is a good one, too. Simply the soundtrack of today's US recession. The theme of life and death are intermingled in the album. Listen to Death and All His Friends. I think it's about war. Cemetaries of London, 42, Violet Hill and Strawberry Swing are quite catchy too. You might want to visit their page on myspace to listen to some of their new tracks in this album. And of course, you can always search for them on youtube. As to the plagiarism of Joe Satriani's piece, If I Could Fly, that many people are fussing about.. I couldn't care less.
Those who are dead are not dead; they're just living in my head.. (from 42) Oh madness there you are again i know you're never far away even after you left your homecoming is much anticipated
Oh madness stay a little while embrace me in your arms they way i do you in mine you are home now, as I am. there's something strange yet warm and moving about my dream last night that made me wake up with wet eyes. her cheerful voice, her prayers, her ever concerns on my well being, they way she told me how she missed me... it's been a long time. If only she knew, I miss her too...dearly. pray that she remains healthy and happy.. that she always projects positive energy to her loved ones. may this soft breeze blow her cheek and whisper this message to her. felt like hugging and squeezing them pretty giant birds.. it's too sad, though, knowing that they might end up on some plates at some restaurants in up country T.T
