My Mask's Name Is Caravaggio

In the gallery at the center of the garden, David looks ruefully to the severed head of Goliath. There is some lesson there, something about human humility, but I confess I was distracted by the light of your face that I stole from sideways glances.

I'm The Other Man

The faults we find easily in others are the character traits we possess ourselves.

Boa Duvet

And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling, I am fading,
I have lost it all

Sid Meier

"A game is a series of interesting choices. They must be both fun and meaningful."

Irving Yalom

"Finding universality in personal struggle is key to both overcoming it and finding connection with the rest of the world. By writing and sharing your grief, you, and other people may realize that we are not alone, and the differences between us are not so great."

When we are older you'll understand it's enough when I say so, and maybe some things are that simple.

She's Just A Girl / With A Woman's Smile

Blue Moon
So white
So scared
To come out tonight
It's too dark
For him
He's just a boy
With a man's grin

Some of my favourite colours in the world
Beat against my eyelids with the blues of green hummingbirds

I Think I'll Smoke A Cigarette Instead

Apparently my odds of dying from electricution caused by making toast next to the bathtub are 1 in 36000.

"It's impossible to travel faster than the speed of light, and certainly not desirable, as one's hat would keep falling off."

Red Moon Valentine

There’s a nail in the door
And there’s glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor
And the tv is on
And I always sleep with my guns
When you’re gone

There’s a blade by the bed
And a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor
And some cash on the nightstand
When I’m all alone the dreaming stops
And I just can’t stand

Well you’re up so high
How can you save me
When the dark comes here
Tonight to take me up
The mouth from woke
And into bed where it kisses my face
And eats my hand

There’s a shark in the pool
And a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbour and he’s been watching me
And there’s footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Something’s under the bed
Now it’s out in the hedge
There’s a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall

Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it’s not here soon
I might be done
No it won’t be too soon ’til I say
Goodnight moon

99 Balloons

I walked past three men today. They marched to a song that they made up as they went. The one in the red duffle coat carried and the other two did the harmony. There were no words to the song, but it still seemed kinda catchy.

I'm pretty sure that it was Katamari March Damashii.

Partisan

When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender,
this I could not do;
I took my gun and vanished.
I have changed my name so often,
I've lost my wife and children
but I have many friends,
and some of them are with me.

An old woman gave us shelter,
kept us hidden in the garret,
then the soldiers came;
she died without a whisper.

There were three of us this morning
I'm the only one this evening
but I must go on;
the frontiers are my prison.

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come;
then we'll come from the shadows.

Les Allemands e'taient chez moi,
ils me dirent, "Signe toi,"
mais je n'ai pas peur;
j'ai repris mon arme.

J'ai change' cent fois de nom,
j'ai perdu femme et enfants
mais j'ai tant d'amis;
j'ai la France entie`re.

Un vieil homme dans un grenier
pour la nuit nous a cache',
les Allemands l'ont pris;
il est mort sans surprise.

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come;
then we'll come from the shadows.
