Shapes and colors make me happy.
I like abstract paintings. I like Picasso. I like solid colors - blue, red, yellow, green and orange. Sometimes I like neon. I like geometric lines and shapes. I'm particularly fascinated with squares. Not so much with waves and unclosed curves. I don't like Baroque-inspired designs. I don't like paintings of the Madonna and Child, farmers in the field, flowers in vases, and fruits in baskets. They hurt my eyes.

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge
That myth is more potent than history.
I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts -
That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death."
~Robert Fulghum, It Was On Fire When I Laid Down On It

You Belong to Me
See the pyramids around the Nile
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
Just remember darling
All the while
You belong to me
See the market place
In old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember
When a dream appears
You belong to me
And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me
Oh I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me

What's Up
Twenty - five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
Ooh, ooh ooh
And I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
Twenty - five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
(hmm…. Whenever I hear this intro, I want to close my eyes, curl up in a soft bed, hide under a thick layer of blanket, in a dark, cold room and get into that wistful mood… Time suspends for a while and I fly back to the early 90’s…. :)
Met you by surprise (very gentle, like a pleasant surprise)
I didn’t realize (suspends time for a short while for that pleasant surprise)
that my life would change (here is the beginning of the pleasant surprise, the song’s version of a drumroll, hehe)
forever (cliché, yes, but darn it, the smooth way “forever” was sang makes me tingle all over)
Saw you standing there (here comes another prelude to something pleasant)
didn’t know I’d care (suspends time again)
There was something special (the beginning of the second plesant thing.. drumrolls again!!!)
in the air (oooohhh!!! *croon* here comes the second pleasant thing)
(And now we officially enter the dreamlike state:)
Dreams are my reality the only kind of real fantasy Illusions are a common thing I try to live in dreams It seems as if it’s meant to be.. Dreams are my reality A different kind of re---- ality I dream of loving in the night And loving seems alright Although it’s only fantasy
<<<>>>> If you do exist (seems like there’s a moment here for a reality check …) Honey don’t resist Show me in your way of loving (I start to feel like it’s really me he’s talking to) Tell me that it’s true Show me what to do (the way “do” was sang…. awwwwww) I feel something special about you
Dreams are my reality the only kind of re---ality Maybe my foolishness has passed And maybe now at last I’lll see how a real thing can be
Dreams are my reality A wondrous world where I like to be. I dream of holdin’ you all night And holding you seems right Perhaps that’s my reality…
<<<>>>
Met you by surpise (at this point I’m lightheaded, teary-eyed and dancing in the air in my dreamlike state) I didn’t realize that my life would change forever Tell me that it’s true (now I want to say, YES YES YES IT’s TRUE!!!) Feelings that aren’t you I feel something special about you… (i’m practically non-existent now here, just some gas whirling in the wind)
Dreams are my reality A wondrous world where I like to be.
Illusions are a common thing I try to live in dreams Although it’s only fantasy Illusions are a common thing I try to live in dreams Although it’s only fantasy
Dreams are my reality
(AND NOW WE SNAP BACK TO REALITY! HARSH RE-ALITY!!! DARN IT)
