day of maturity the groans of the whole world are always running through my veins every human fear puts another burden on my blood i'm standing on the skin of a world immersed in darkness so naive i can barely stand like a poor wide-eyed child give me a little tlc oversensitivity comes when the soul takes over the mind kick me in the head and maybe i'll get over it give me a little tlc
dorosłość jak początek umierania Obciąża moją krew Przemierza żył korytarze Całego świata jęk Każda ludzkości obawa Udeptuję skórę tej skąpanej w mroku planety Z naiwnością na którą stać Stać chyba tylko dziecko Nadwrażliwość to mój wróg Przerost duszy nad rozumem W głowę kopcie mnie Może ozdrowieję Dyskretnej troski trzeba mi
I have some simple colorful memories of... Simple cup of tea without sugar served at 3 in the morning Simple touch of hands under the stars Simple look of grey eyes through the very width of the room Simple scent of caraway in soup and freshly-baked bread
I have some simple memories of... Simple freedom song of Gitan Simple sound of rain above the yellow umbrella Simple beam of light reflected in the pool Simple sound of door being open Simple sense of lazy Sunday
I have some simple memories of a simple human Simple chat enveloped in the cigarette smoke like in a dream Simple glass of martini without ice Simple silence of full moon
I have some simple wonderful memories of... Simple room with an open window Simple letter put under the door Simple happy moments of astonishment Simple wind in my face when the bike goes down Simple promise of the curve Simple shadow of beeches Simple music of sleeping home Simple shine of a tear Simple detachment from earthly matters
Part I Monday morning, the scent of my first this day coffee, the gentle whisper of the computer, the taste of the early hour. Some radio music in the background, I guess it's some Dundee radio station, but I'm not sure. Another day has just started, another Hope has just come to life.
Yesterday I had a serious talk. Talk about life, its ups and downs, bittersweet tears and breathtaking moments. Talk about running away, and about doing the right thing. Talk about dreams and empty hands. Talk about me and him. With red wine, a box of Lucky Strike, night around us and stars above.
It all comes to an end. Another chapter of my life has ended. Another chapter has just opened. As some say, that when a woman cuts her hair it means that something has already changed. But I say, do your hair first. You can never be sure whom you gonna meet walking into your new life, but be sure to look good when doing it.
Part II I've been wondering tonight, smoking my first cigarette today and drinking evening coffee, when I'm myself. Is it when I wear highheel shoes and smart clothes or when I wear trainers and jeans? When I listen to Moloko or to Norah Jones? When I love or when I hate? When I wear blacks or reds? When I write poems or algorithms? When I say what I think or when I think what I say? When I get myself dead drunk or when I pray? When I stay or when I run away? When I dance or when I cry? When I like dogs or when I like cats? When I am a slut or when I am a nun? When I have a fruit salad or when I have chilli con carne? When I care too much about my friends or when I don't give a damn shit?
Day like today, with grey cold morning and the fresh wind of 5 a.m. Day like today, with sunny noon, and afternoon passing so fast. Day like today, with dusk approaching in a slow manner, with lazy sun and sounds of coming night. Day like today, with the scent of coffee in the morning and freshly prepared cereals with milk and strawberries. Day like today, with the sound of fast steps, one-two-three-one-two-three-one... Day like today, with a cold pint of beer in the evening and a cigarette, a new daily routine for this summer time. Day like today, day like never before and never again. One and unique. My day...
I hate the world today You're so good to me I know but I can't change Tried to tell you but you look at me Like maybe I'm an angel underneath Innocent and sweet Yesterday I cried You must have been relieved to see the softer side I can understand how you'd be so confused I don't envy you I'm a little bit of everything All rolled into one... (Meredith Brooks, Bitch) If I were to choose a song that describes me in the most precise way, that would be definitely the one above. Most probably most of you have heard it already, as it was pretty famous few years ago, and also appeared in What Women Want. As a friend of mine says, my life is not only about the vision thing but also about the sound thing, every moment has its own soundtrack. In this case, Bitch stands as my anthem. My first, my last, my everything...
When I first listened to that song, I was like "Nice song, I would even say, yeah, I like this song". And few days ago I've seen the movie. And then I understood. And then I got the meaning of those words above. The movie didn't leave me speechless.
Bir kez gelmişsin bu saçma dünyaya Olanları unutmak çok zor inan bana Sevdiğin insan bile artık yalan söylüyor Yaşadığın anılar acı vermeye başlıyor
Bir köprüden geçiyorum Mutlu gibiyim sanki Geride bir kent bıraktım bir de sevgili Rüya mı bu, gerçek mi inan anlamıyorum Bu şehir beni içine çekiyor Kendimi alamıyorum
Olanlar yetmez gibi bir de mesaj geliyor "Mutluluklar, hoşçakal" Birer birer zırvalanıyor İyice dağıtmak için biraz daha içiyorum Sonra oturmuş mal gibi zırıl zırıl ağlıyorum
Gidiyorum buralardan, dönüyorum durmadan Uyan artık uyan, bitti rüya Seviyorum sormadan, öpüyorum kasmadan Dayan artık dayan, bitti rüya
Bir kez gelmişsin bu saçma dünyaya Olanları unutmak çok zor inan bana Yazdığın satırlar bile artık yalan söylüyor Söylediğin sözler acı vermeye başlıyor
Bir köprüyü yakıyorum mutlu gibiyim sanki Geride bir kent bıraktım bir de sevgili Doğru mu, yanlış mı inan umursamıyorum Bu şehir beni esir ediyor kendimi alamıyorum
İnanmazsın bir rüya hayatımı değiştiriyor O mesajı unutmam için bana bir şans veriyor Rüyaysa bu gerçekten artık uyanmak istiyorum Mutluluk bile acı veriyor Çünkü sonu var biliyorum
The dream is over You came to this world only once It’s difficult to forget the events, believe me Even the one you love lies to you The moments you lived start to hurt you
I’m crossing a bridge As if I were happy I left behind a love and city Is this a dream or reality, I don’t know, believe me This city draws me in, I can’t handle myself
As if the events weren’t enough there comes a message „Be happy, take care” Pointless messages keep coming I drink some more to be able to forget myself Then staring like an idiot I burst into sobbing
I’m going away from here, I’m leaving without a stop The dream is over, wake up now, wake up, I love without asking, I kiss without force Endure it, endure, the dream is over
You came to this world only once It’s difficult to forget the events, believe me Even the lines you wrote lie to you The words you said start to hurt you
I’m burning a bridge, as if I were happy I left behind a love and a city Right or wrong, I don’t care, believe me, I can’t handle myself, this city captivates me
You don’t believe but a dream is changing my life Gives me a chance to forget that message If this is a dream, I really wanna wake up now Even happiness hurts 'Cauze I know it has an end.
I believe in a man, this piece of rubbish; I believe in a man, this piece of shit; This shifting sand, lifeless water;
I believe in a man, this wacko, This bag of false pride; I believe in a man, this lipsalve, This wind - bag who wastes words, This fire - brand and eavesdropper, I believe in a man, this blood sucker.
Despite all the things A man is able to do, I believe in him, For his safe hand, For his affection for freedom, For his play of imagination,
For his vertigo when he watches the stars, I believe in a man For the salt of his friendship, For depths of his eyes, for his laughter, For his momentum and his imperfection.
For always I believe in a man For his making advances helping hand. For given look. And besides, first and foremost For his simple greeting of an ordinary shepherd.
Lucien Jaques
This is poem above was originally written in French, so I migth not have kept the real spirit and the real atmosphere of it. But this is what I believe in: a man, a human, a person. I believe in Love. I believe in Hope. And...
...I believe in Angels, the kind that Heaven sends... I'm surrounded by Angels, but I call them my Best Friends.
At my age I do what Mark Twain did. I get my daily paper, look at the obituaries page, and if I'm not there, I carry on as usual. Patrick Moore
Micheal Brown's going home, he did it!! It's not the latest news, but I just had to write it :) What am I talking about? View From The Sidewalk, link on this page in links section, enjoy :)
Ok, you asked for that. Time for some next final reflections after coming back from Adana. Since March, I have been sitting, observing, reading, watching, analyzing stuff. Mainly the stuff connected to TTC , known also as KJO. And the final thoughts... they just scare me. Leaving last year (October2005) to Turkey, I knew that there was some mutual animosity between the members of my own group at KJO. Happens everywhere, it's not possible to have a bunch of individuals who co-exist together in some nice and friendly atmospehere all the time. That's normal. There were some ups&downs, but more less 'twas ok. But the atmosphere that I experienced after my coming back.... frankly speaking I was a bit in schock. I had many troubles fitting again in the reality of KJO life, because of different reasons, it's not time to state them now and to make you feel sorry for me. And the group atmosphere was not making that coming back to reality easy. I'm not saying that people should welcome me with champagne and flowers and roll the red carpet in front of me. Definitely not. It's not my point. My point is the situation I found at KJO. What I noticed was the official war between people. I constantly have heard some vicious comments towards people I liked more or less, some freaking gossips, some conspiracy theories. KJO war has been going on for good. Time passed and this war has developed. The latest battle took place last night. The field of the battle - "AgataL & students" Blog. I was reading the battle report and the words that came to my mind were "What the f..k??" Those who are interested in this particular issue know, what has started this sophisticated comment discussion on the neutral teritory. And now, because this is my own private space, where I can freely express my point of view, this is what I have to say about this, so read carefully, take into cosideration, if you want, or don't. Feel free to comment, if you wish. I do not approve public flattering in such form, I do not approve attacking with words as it has been done there, I do not approve making people feeling sorry for what is not their fault. I know, freedom of speech, The Blue Ribbon Campaign, I perfectly get it, and I am 100% for freedom of expressing whatever comes to somebody's mind. Especially in case of blogs. But I don't have to approve everything, and I do not have to be pleased with everything. As people noticed, some particular line has been crossed. Unfortunatelly. I also admire few teachers from my past schooling experience, few from my present education process. I really do. And they know about that without me making a-big-thing-public-statements. I do it in my way, the way I feel is right. In this particular battle, most probably buttering-thing was not the main issue, but as you have noticed, it has been taken as such. People are only some human beings, they do make mistakes (known from experience, I'm not saint, I have few sins to be sorry for), they do things they believe are right, and later on it turns out that they did something opposite, very often unintentionally. But we are THE human beings, those who can think, observe, feel. And it works both ways, my dear KJO members. Freedom of speech? There you go, but be aware of all those things it may cause. Word is a powerful weapon, and it needs a skilled person to use it right. If you are brave enough to express what comes to your mind, be brave enough to take the criticism with dignity. My intention is not to judge particular people here, I'm not the right person to do it. All I wanted to state is what I think about the situation as such. Most probably, to be continued...
Ok, I have something to add. Writing some posts on blogs of classmates, if I can say so, I'm not defending anybody. Just stating facts, or giving my opinion. One may not like it, fine. I've listened to both sides' arguments. And it doesn't have to mean, that I totally agree or disagree with any of them.
Barlumi di felicità cadono, come i petali di una rosa nel deserto, sul pavimento delle emozioni, lasciando di essi il solo ricordo..
Nuvole di sorrisi, trasportate dal vento, cambiano forma come cambia il mio umore..
Strade senza meta scorrono sotto i miei piedi, come le lancette di un orologio scandiscono gli ultimi istanti di una tristezza lontana..
Vorrei poterti regalare un cielo degno del tuo splendore mia stella.. ma il solo che posso donarti sono i miei occhi carichi di un amore mai dato..
(by Marco)
Recently I was going through some blog of a person I used to know. I found this short text. Because my Italian is not that good to get the exact meaning, I asked my friend to translate this for me. And I was astonished. Few things became clear, and got the new meaning. But... does it matter now?? I guess not that much. Just the Memories are nicer, warmer and a bit more precious. They make me smile inside...
My Sky is beautiful, Streets under my feet are getting their destination, Sadness is going away. Glimmers of Happiness are falling down, kissing my face, they are shining in my eyes.
The Memories... the inseparable part of my Existence.
Yes, this is me. The little creature with smile in her eyes. This photo was taken when I was not able to move very fast, and I simply couldn't escape. Later on, when I grew up a bit, and learnt that it's great fun to run, the task of taking a picture of me turned into some kind of MissionImpossible thing. As a child I was not a very problematic person.... Maybe except for making my mum a bit nervous by sitting in some open window. The problem was that the window was on the 2nd floor. Moreover, after some time I decided that instead of just sitting there, I'd have a walk. So I did. And maybe except putting my fingers where they definitely didn't belong, for example between one part of the door of a big old blue Mercedes van, and the rest of a car. And my dad, instead of taking me to my beloved Kindergarden, had to introduce my Little Hand to some Big Guy in a white uniform. Ohh, and maybe except the very moment when my mum had to leave all her important things and take me to pay a visit to another Big Guy in a white uniform, when a girl in my beloved Kindergarden hit me with a plastic wasching maschine. The Big Guy told my mum that two centimeters closer to my nose and I would had lost my left eye, or two centimeters higher, and he would had to come to pick me up. Well, I wasn't doing things on purpose. I mean, not always.
Well, kinda melancholic mood today. Most probably that's the consequence of last night's events. Do I regret? I don't know, not yet. I know it was the decision I should have made a long time ago. That would have saved some unnecessary words that were said, and some unnecessary actions that were taken. Things done, they can't be undone.
Long hot shower in the middle of the night... standing at least one hour under the hot stream of water, saying goodbye to Yesterday. I felt the old days... they were flowing down with water, the old dreams, laughs and tears. Seven months' outer skin was washed out. I put on the lotion of Hope, the balm of Tomorrow. I dressed up, took the keys, and drove... just drove... Surrounded by Darkness, I got to my place, to my Room... Finally... I charged my batteries, put memories in the correct boxes, crossed out all the superfluous things. I opened the balcony door, I let the rain kiss my face... I took a deep breath... darkness filled my lungs... It made me feel alive.
