New Year's resolution? Not really, I am pretty happy with my 1136 x 640.

At the intersection of people who love Abba and people who love Sepultura are people who love both.

I am recovering from a bad dream.

Hypothetically speaking, if one were to quit smoking cigarettes and start puffing electronic ones, what’s the most desirable aroma? Asking for a friend.

Years ago, they put one of my photographs on a cover of a book with credit going to a website that doesn't exist anymore. It was something like this:

Brian: Please, please, please listen! I've got one or two things to say.
The Crowd: Tell us! Tell us both of them!
Brian: Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't NEED to follow ME, You don't NEED to follow ANYBODY! You've got to think for your selves! You're ALL individuals!
The Crowd: Yes! We're all individuals!
Brian: You're all different!
The Crowd: Yes, we ARE all different!
Man in crowd: I'm not...
The Crowd: Sch!

My favourite Xmas movie is of course Life of Brian. Goes perfectly with a bottle of schnaps.

The Ship of Fools

Along came Mr. Goodtrips
Looking for a new ship.
Come on people better climb on board
Come on babe we're going home.
Ship of fools, Ship of fools.

One blond and the other one dark haired, about 5-6 yo: few days ago I met Odin and Jesus in the playground. They were completely unaware of their greatness. Not far away, Titus and Thomas.

[..]
Some people have got to paint and draw
Harry had to work in clay and stone
Like the waves coming to the shore
It was in his blood and in his bones
Ignored by all the trendy boys in London and in Leeds
He might as well have been making toys or strings of beads
He could not be in the gallery

And then you get an artist says he doesn't want to paint at all
He takes an empty canvas and sticks it on the wall
The birds of a feather all the phonies and all of the fakes
While the dealers they get together
And they decide who gets the breaks
And who's going to be in the gallery
[..]

(In the gallery)

We create our superstitions out of nothing or ignorance, we maintain them via "tradition" or "culture" and eventually we become afraid of our own lies. Friday the 13th is just one of them.

If you tend to project yourself too much in the future you may use wine to keep you in the present. Drunk, but in the present. There ain't no medicine with no side effects, right? Which reminds me of my liver, again.

I am not a very disciplined individual. And not very focused either. Rather chaotic I might say. I eat ice cream late at night (actually, just finished) and sometimes binge on alcohol. And cigarettes too. Then I go to yoga.

I rely mostly on a semi-educated intuition which is sometimes wrong. I need to make mistakes and get my hands dirty to learn something. I am a slow learner. A slow unfocused learner which forgets rather quick and a lot. Still can't make super-sharp photographs after years of fiddling.

Or maybe not, maybe what I believe is forgetting simply adds up to the intuition without my conscient knowledge. But I can't tell for sure. I am quite rigid but I want to be somehow elastic. I expect inspiration and creativity to visit me but I do little to give them directions. I read books and it happens at times to be in awe of others' genius. Same goes with music. Sometimes I am envious but don't want to try other people's shoes. Definitely don't want to make that effort.

All in all, it doesn't look like it but I am happy with myself. It's a cozy and warm place to be. It's my home.

I've seen this red, incandescent orange, bulbous shape of a gas like consistence and a little drop leaving it with an elegant blip, slowly floating to the right, towards a blueish black void. The drop was a metallic translucid gray.

It felt so real.

It felt like death.

I am not good enough to draw it, but I'll try.

So the sky is not blue after all and the sunset is not a burning mixture of oranges and reds. It's just our eyes and the refraction of short wavelenghts.
