The story of Life............

two amazing things happened today, first these are now mine! :D!! :

and I was driving to the grocery store, and just as im getting out of my driveway i see the strangest thing in the sky, like a long chain of lights, almost like a caterpillar? so im just saying to myself, what am i looking at!!! so I chase if for a good while, and i can see it above and now its like a diamond shaped object, realizing I dont have my camera with me, I take photos with my phone, but the camera on it is shit! so I just stop, and go back to the grocery store for bread and candy. yup.

gibberish

Ive been working on that collage I posted on some time ago, and im really enjoying it this is what its coming to look like everything has been really sort of spontaneous and is coming together magically in the sense that everything is right where it should be in context with the text. and I do not plan this, its a really nice reminder that art is something bigger than me;)

This is one of the many things that made me rip up the book used for the collage. Its so crazy what religions will have you believe, yet make you deny that which is right before you, or even your true self. Some things really got to me, like passages that read "war in heaven ended with all the demons being hurled down to the earth; you are now feeling the effects" or "your religion really matters" "drug abuse such as drunkenness and using marijuana for pleasure is popular among the devils government" and things like "this is what you must do to be in gods kingdom" "you have hard changes in order to meet gods requirements, dont worry, you can do it!" and of course, "your soul dies, after death you are in a state of complete unconsciousness"

why have people feel beneath a said benevolent god? and tell them the earth is evil and so are they that the only way to the light is by following such rules that not so coincidently go hand in hand with norms put forth by beings/systems after their control.

Ill stop before anger overcomes me, hahaha;)

just kidding;)

anyways, while trying to get ideas/inspiration I was looking through some books of mine, and I came across this forgotten little book that I really dont remember buying, but then again impulse book buying is one of my weird habits;) well I have started to read it, its really fascinating and glossolalia was a subject of much interest not too long ago, I wonder why Im just now reading this, all things happen in due time;)

I wasnt in town to post anything for the 27th and I didnt just want to say happy birthday, or something like that

I recently got the authentic PPX recordings box set!♥ there are very few albums I know of that I dont own

(thats incredible to just say!)

and its absurd to even say "own" haha

I wish for my collection to grow as much as possible I must have so many songs to share,

and I wonder if there are some never heard, and what a sin it is to keep them hidden

I fall in love more and more each day

I dont know what to say really, words escape me;)

myLove

"...As for me, I am so glad to salute the brave, reckless gods in another man. 
So glad to meet a man who will abide by his very self.
Ideas! Ideals! All this paper between us. What a weariness.
If only people would meet in their very selves, 
without wanting to put some idea over one another, or some ideal.
Damn all ideas and all ideals. Damn all the false stress, and the pins.
  I am I. Here am I. Where are you ?
Ah, there you are! Now, damn the consequences, we have met.
That's my idea of democracy, if you can call it an idea."

exit

the moral of this story is, UFO means.... u found out!;)

Now I decided I would solve the mystery

about that flying saucer scare

'bout the UFO's people been seing.

And what's goin' on up there?

So I went to the most likely place,

Where I thought they'd come around.

Took a peanut butter sandwich and my binoculars.

And thought I'd have a sit-down.

To wait that is.

Then suddenly I saw it.

Doing about ten thousand miles a curve

Quiet landed right beside me.

And a strange voice said:

"Good evening, sir."

If I knew that you were a man like me,

and you liked rock 'n' roll,

I'd have come to see you, friend,

a long long time ago.

I found an old journal of mine the other day, I started writing in it again, Ive been looking back through it, its nice to revisit old thoughts. Ive been meeting so many poets recently, Ive felt inspired to write, I have so many journals lying around, every time I see a nice journal, I buy it, its a bad habbit of mine i guess, especially since a lot are blank, or only the first few pages written on. Its time I use them;)

Im sick

hot tea is God sent.

that is all

Stardust

Almost 1000 light years away, this stardust in Aries spans an estimated distance of 30,000 light years and covers almost two degrees of the sky♥

Prelude

Last night I could not go to sleep so I was browsing through my library and found myself picking up Carolyn Kleefeld's 'Climates of the Mind' once again, and later I wrote some things myself also. well this is one of her poems which is just so incredibly beautiful and exactly where I am in this moment. I want to share it with you all. It is titled "Prelude".

I want to do, be, sleep, hear
without exterior reactions to my being
I want to be an invisible being-
not defined, judged, watched

I do not want to represent anything to anybody
no longer to be inside
the other person's rigid picture frame of me
I want to be-just for the sense of being
To relax again enough to taste, touch, realize life
before it is filtered through me-
through other people's psychic strainers
through their telescopic needs
I want it fresh for me to grasp
before its had so many hands on it first
Just mine to embrace, discover, share
or not share
A privacy, intimacy of me to me-
whatever this may be
to relate directly from where it lies

I breathe a deep breath
at the thought of new discovery-
An intimate first-hand glide with life in my hand
with me connected directly
No filters, no microphones
No need for closed doors; instead-
Open windows Wide skies
No hands on life's clock
Another chance to feel that part of me
that is undiluted
My life to belong to me
to consistently feel its essence

Breathtaking

Aurora Borealis timelapse HD - Tromsø 2010 from Tor Even Mathisen on Vimeo.

Have you ever seen an aurora? Auroras are occurring again with increasing frequency. With the Sun being unusually dormant over the past three years, the amount of Sun-induced auroras has also been unusually low. More recently, however, our Sun has become increasingly active and exhibiting a greater abundance of sunspots, flares, and coronal mass ejections. Solar activity like this typically expels charged particles into the Solar System, some of which may trigger Earthly auroras. As this year unfolded, the above timelapse displays of picturesque auroras were captured above Tromsø, Norway. Curtains of auroral light, usually green, flow, shimmer and dance as energetic particles fall toward the Earth and ionize air molecules high up in the Earth's atmosphere. With solar maximum still in the future, there may be opportunities to see spectacular aurora personally over the next three years.

I know my last post or two might seem contradictory because I am a kind of animal rights activist, but there is a sweet assurance I feel as I post these things that they are beautiful and proof of the contradictory nature of 'The true, the beautiful, the good.'

"If you don't at least occasionally contradict yourself, your position isn't (nearly) complex enough..."

Cockfight

Suradita Village, West Java, Indonesia (2010). Children playing with their rooster. Actually it was not a real cockfight because the rooster didn't wear blades on their feet. Children likes to play this game because they almost never have toys in their life.

Indonesia, Java, Volcano Ijen: sulfur miner chocked by toxic fumes

These Indonesian miners,in primitive conditions not seen in most places for more than a century,often wear no protection,carrying up to 100 kilos of sulfur on their shoulders,climbing steep rocky paths and descending the volcano for 3 kilometers,bare foot,twice daily,choking from stinking,toxic fumes.For this shortened, blinding, gagging life in hell,they are paid 6 Euros a day. These conditions destroy their lungs, eyes and other tissues.“We work in hell,” said the miners,“our eyes and lungs burn the whole day, but there’s nothing we can do. Otherwise, we’re scared we’ll have nothing to eat.”

Eyes Of Time

I had the opportunity to walk the streets of Kayamandi, one of the most interesting, eye opening, experiences of my life. To see people live in conditions I did not realize could exist.

Cambodian Boys and Snakes

I was getting an intimate perspective of the Tonle Sap in Cambodia from a local teenager, when these two boys with snakes swam up behind looking to engage us. This was a day in the life of a child living on a river settlement. This was also one of those moments that can not be conveyed with words.

The earth needs a beautiful and rich nature

This is Daria, 28. She is mother of two children and pregnant with a third. She lives with her family on a landfill in Cebu City. They have an average income of 2 USD a day, earned by collecting the recyclable fractions out of the city garbage. I like this shot because Daria found herself a T-shirt saying "The world needs a beautiful and rich nature". What an irony, considering the environment she and her family have to live in.

Into the hands of faith

The believer pierced at a Thaipusam festival in Singapore's Sri Sririnava Perumal Temple points at a woman who lets out a shrill scream before falling into a trance-like submission. She is supported by fellow devotees who hold her up while Saffon powder is rubbed on her forehead as a form of blessing.
