Light

Light, in the absence of eyes, illuminates nothing. Visible forms are not inherent in the world, but are granted by the act of seeing. Though the world and events do exist independent of mind, they obtain of no meaning in themselves: none that the mind is not guilty of imposing on them.

What I have in mind for you is much worse

Trevor Goodchild: When will you give up, Aeon?
[he hands her a gun]
Trevor Goodchild: Here. Go ahead. Kill me, if that's what you want. You can't do it.
Aeon Flux: You think you know what I'm doing so obviously you don't. What I have in mind for you is much worse.

Mind

The limits of my language are the limits of my mind. All I know is what I have words for.



Ludwig Wittgenstein

Dazed

One is the loneliest number
That you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one
No is the saddest experience
You'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience
You'll ever know

A Mind For Details

Detalhes

não sei quando é que nos tornamos bons observadores. não sei se é o tempo se é o hábito se é apenas uma sensibilidade para os detalhes que adquirimos sem saber exactamente como. um olhar atento. aos pequenos pormenores. daqueles que escapam ao olhar distraído. uma palavra sussurrada na mesa do lado. um sorriso mal disfarçado. um gesto nervoso. uma madeixa de cabelo hesitante. um sotaque. as mãos trémulas que seguram um cigarro. um gesto adiado. um olhar arrependido. um beijo imaginário.

No More Posts For The Day

That is the true season of love, when we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved so before us, and that no one will love in the same way after us.

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a membrane that controls the passage of substances from the blood into the central nervous system. It is a physical barrier between the local blood vessels and most parts of the central nervous system itself, and stops many substances from travelling across it. Some heavy metals can cross the blood-brain barrier.

Down

All this running around
Well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true

Badtimes

If you receive an e-mail with a subject of "badtimes", delete it immediately without reading it.This is the most dangerous e-mail virus yet.It will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer.

It will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice cream melts.It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards, screw up the tracking on your vcr and use subspace field harmonics to render any cds you try to play unreadable.

It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number.It will mix antifreeze into your fishtank. It will drink all your beer and leave its socks out on the coffee table when there's company coming over.It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit and hide your car keys when you are late for work.

Badtimes will make you fall in love with a penguin.It will give you nightmares about circus midgets.It will pour sugar in your gas tank and shave off both your eyebrows while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and hotel room to your visa card.It will seduce your grandmother.It does not matter if she is dead, such is the power of badtimes, it reaches out beyond the grave to sully those things we hold most dear.

It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't find it.It will kick your dog. It will leave libidinous messages on your boss's voice mail in your voice!It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold.It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.

Badtimes will give you dutch elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up.It will make a batch of methamphetamine in your bathtub and then leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase high school kids with your new snowblower.These are just a few of the signs. Be very, very careful!


(Badtimes is from an anonymous E-mail!)

Too low

Too low to find my way
Too high to wonder why
I've touched this place before
Somewhere in another time
Now I can hear the sun
The clouds drifting through the blinds
A half a million thoughts
Are flowing through my mind

Advice from a Caterpillar

The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.

`Who are YOU?' said the Caterpillar.

This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'

`What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. `Explain yourself!'

`I can't explain MYSELF, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, `because I'm not myself, you see.'

`I don't see,' said the Caterpillar.

`I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,' Alice replied very politely, `for I can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.'

`It isn't,' said the Caterpillar.

`Well, perhaps you haven't found it so yet,' said Alice; `but when you have to turn into a chrysalis--you will some day, you know--and then after that into a butterfly, I should think you'll feel it a little queer, won't you?'

`Not a bit,' said the Caterpillar.

`Well, perhaps your feelings may be different,' said Alice; `all I know is, it would feel very queer to ME.'

`You!' said the Caterpillar contemptuously. `Who are YOU?'

Which brought them back again to the beginning of the conversation. Alice felt a little irritated at the Caterpillar's making such VERY short remarks, and she drew herself up and said, very gravely, `I think, you ought to tell me who YOU are, first.'

`Why?' said the Caterpillar.

Here was another puzzling question; and as Alice could not think of any good reason, and as the Caterpillar seemed to be in a VERY unpleasant state of mind, she turned away.
