Supermodels are beautiful girls, Will. A beautiful girl can make you
dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can
make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man -
promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of
a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a
beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every
rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The
supermodels, Willy? That's all they are. Bottled promise. Scenes from a
brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto heels.
i'm well past the age of naivete yet naivete is still a perspective of
which i refer back to...a common theme for all of us but mathematically
speaking, i've been wondering when loss of
innocence met opinionated?  and obviously how long ago was that
junction where my parabolic curve seems to harden so much that my
observation and comprehensive skills, although not skewed by prejudice
against others, seems to be so heavily filtered for myself that i'd
almost call it an instinctive reflector....



You are so young, so before all beginning, and I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in you heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue.  Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them..  And the point is, to live everything.  Live the questions now.  Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.  Perhaps you do carry within yourself the possiblity of shaping and forming as particularly happy and pure way of living; train yourself to it-but take whatever comes with great trust, and if only it comes out of your own will, out of some need of your inmost being, take it upon yourself and hate nothing.

JOGA BONITA!



world cup is consuming my life....


BOOKS! BOOKS!
reccommend me tons of books please.....


    And let me promptly make a request: read as little as possible of aesthetic criticism-such things are either partisan views, petrified and grown seseless in their lifeless infudration, or they are clever quibblings in which today one view wins and tomorrow the opposite.  Works of art are of an infinite lonelinesss and with nothing so little to be reached as with criticism.  Only love can grasp and hold and be just toward them.  Consider yourself and your feeling right every time with regard to every such argumentation, discussion or introduction; if you are wrong after all, the natural growth of your inner life will lead you slowly and with time to other insights.  Leave to your opinions their own quiet undisturbed development, which, like all progress, must come from deep within and cannot be pressed or hurried by anything.  Everything is gestation and then bringing forth.  To let each impression and each germ of a feeling come to completion wholly in itself, in the dark, in the inexpressible, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one's own intelligence, and await with deep humility and patience the birth-hour of a new clarity: that alone is living the artist's life: in understanding as in creating.
    There is here no mearusring with time, no year matters, and ten years are nothing.  Being an artists means, not reckoning and counting, but ripening like the tree which does not force its sap and stands confident in the storms of spring without the fear that after them may come no summer. It does come.  But it comes only to the patient, who are there as though eternity lay before them, so unconcernedly still and wide.  I learn it daily, learn it with pain to which I am grateful: patience is everything!

African Proverbs translated in Mandarin on Chinese Factory Floors

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed
Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death
It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or gazelle
When the sun comes up, you better start running


friggin tomato!

...we parked the car and walked to the beach, where yuki vomited onto
the sand.  there'd been hardly anything in her stomach, only the
chocolate and gastric juices.  the most excruciateing way to get sick. 
the body is in spasms, but nothing comes.  You're wringing out your
entire system until your stomach is a knot the size of a
fist....glyauuugh.....
