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
i felt like posting my latest friendster "about me" before i change it again :)
i have a strange sense of morality.
i won't save the lives of ten strangers who are about to be hit by a train (by pulling a switch to divert the train) and hit one stranger, even if that one stranger were a criminal, because i strike a difference between the positive act of killing one person and the mere failure to save a life. but i can kill a person to save myself, provided that he is dying or gonna die anyway. i can sacrifice my happiness, even my life or my fate, for someone i love. i can wreak damage to someone else for my own happiness or for the happiness of the ones i love. it is all a matter of balancing of interests.
i am fiercely protective and territorial. i'm ruthless, smart, cunning, pompous, fiery and feisty. i love and hate fiercely and in equal measures. sometimes i see the world in psychedelic colors. sometimes i see it in black and white, no grays. i always think before i act, sometimes i think fast, sometimes i’m calculating. nearly all the time i'm right, but admittedly, sometimes i'm wrong. i am stubborn when i know i'm right, but i'm willing to give in when i'm wrong. but first you must convince me that i'm wrong.
i do not believe in the inherent goodness of people. i believe in the power of the human emotion and in ulterior motive. even if some people claim they act within a worldview or based on reason, i am still convinced it is all about human emotion. i don’t know if I can be considered an empathic person, but i always try to read human emotions and act based on that to achieve my desired end. in pursuit of my happiness, i believe that i should act on my emotions, tempered only by reason and a sense of justice and morality.
because of all these, make sure you already know me really well before you enter my world, because i am not one to be trusted to handle you with care if you get on my bad side. but then again, if you get on my good side, you’re up for a nice ride. :)
