facing up

2008-01-20T10:05:02Z

do i only use the internet when i'm bored of 'real life'? thing is, i want to keep in contact with my friends ...

recently watched (or tried to watch!) tideland by terry gilliam, with em. very interesting, beautiful and horrible. also reminded me of the time i met him and told him the observation my brother made about his films, and i shook his hand and he wouldn't let go for what seemed like forever.

mm had a sign saying 'closed until further notice'. need to work out where my energy comes from and contribute to it better.

sorry i missed w's gig. wanted to come but arrangements were hard.

uh ... i like 'the sartorialist' and 'hel looks' for pictures of people in clothes.

c'est tout ... 'pour maintenant'

When I was young I used to ask a lot of questions. Once I asked my daddy what he did, and he said he was a philosopher. I asked 'what's that' and he said 'someone who asks questions'

Happy Holidays

I'm going to see my family in Northampton, MA until the 28th so I must be a bit quieter for a while.

Love to you all, merry x-mass and I'll see you all on the other side

One of my favourite movies, La Vie Est Belle starring Papa Wemba, is currently on youtube

If anyone knows a better way I might promote this film or singer please drop me a line

Is this a compelling argument or what?

Cos we know

when the child was a child

2007-12-15T00:05:58Z

als das kind kind war,
war es die zeit der folgenden fragen:
warum bin ich ich und warum nicht du?
warum bin ich hier und warum nicht dort?
wann begann die zeit und wo endet der raum?
ist das leben unter der sonne nicht bloß ein traum?
ist was ich sehe und höre und rieche
nicht bloß der schein einer welt vor der welt?
gibt es tatsächlich das böse und leute,
die wirklich die bösen sind?
wie kann es sein, daß ich, der ich bin,
bevor ich wurde, nicht war,
und daß einmal ich, der ich bin,
nicht mehr der ich bin, sein werde?

als das kind kind war,
würgte es am spinat, an den erbsen, am milchreis,
und am gedünsteten blumenkohl.
und ißt jetzt das alles und nicht nur zur not.

- Peter Handke

Why, if a human says something repeatedly, will it become true?

The BlackAmericaWeb.com Relief Fund is providing support to families who are assisting those displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

This is a grassroots relief fund being distributed through churches in the areas affected by the hurricane.

homophonia

2004-03-23T13:03:15Z

something i found out yesterday:

as a prefix, from latin, 'homo' means (and derives) 'human'

eg. homo sapiens

as a prefix, from ancient greek, 'homo' means (and derives) 'same'

eg. homosexual

funny, i thought in both cases there was some reference to 'men'.

went to see this guy benji reid and his group perform last night. wow. two pieces of hip-hop performance art, encompassing poetry, body-popping, singing, rapping, djing and tight-as-you-like bass and drums. all combined and choreagraphed into a seriously powerful event - voicing deep messages (hip-hop history, appropriation, media manipulation, being outside of the mainstream, existential angst, to name a few) combined with humour and loads of hip-hop references. i think a lot of people (including me) came away having learnt (or felt) a thing or two. a night to remember ...

was very impressed that such a show should come to little canterbury, and that these performers (hailing from manchester) should have the courage to bring such a strong message to such a little backwater, predominantly white, town such as ours.

i went with the kids from the youth club where i work, and two of them, budding djs, warmed up for the main act. it was their first gig and they played really well. and we all got to meet the stars of the show after too.

it left me all a-buzzing. :)

soldiers' voices

2004-03-21T12:59:34Z

some of the kids i'm working with have got fathers who are in iraq right now.

just looking through this photo essay. reminds me once again how different other people's lives can be to mine.

and that's to say nothing of the lives of iraqi soldiers and civilians, dead and alive. i guess i've yet to read their stories ...
