LOOKIE HERE: Her Morning Elegance

oh my! so lovely and so cool!

LOOKIE HERE: Thunder, Perfect Mind

daria werbowy recites the poem "thunder, perfect mind" in prada commercial. it is a lovely piece of work. i like the beautiful images and the ambient music, although i don't think it's a best idea to use a gnostic poem to sell perfume.



here are a few lines:

"Be on your guard!
Do not hate my obedience
and do not love my self-control.
In my weakness, do not forsake me,
and do not be afraid of my power.
For why do you despise my fear
and curse my pride?
But I am she who exists in all fears
and strength in trembling.
I am she who is weak,
and I am well in a pleasant place.
I am senseless and I am wise."

Read the whole poem here.

LOOKIE HERE: the definition of love

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

(1 Corinthians 13:1-13)

so love isn't what we feel, but what we do? for some reason i'm uber sad after reading this passage.

LOOKIE HERE: nostalgia and music

source unknown

i miss having concerts to look forward to. i miss my guitar. i miss my ipod speaker. i miss all the awesome tunes.

LOOKIE HERE: where the hell is matt?

"Matt is a 29-year-old deadbeat from Connecticut who used to think that all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames. He achieved this goal pretty early and enjoyed it for a while, but eventually realized there might be other stuff he was missing out on. In February of 2003, he quit his job in Brisbane, Australia and used the money he'd saved to wander around the planet until it ran out.

A few months into his trip, a travel buddy gave Matt the idea of dancing everywhere he went and recording it on his camera. This turned out to be a very good idea. Now Matt is quasi-famous as "That guy who dances on the internet. No, not that guy. The other one. No, not him either. I'll send you the link. It's funny."

visit where the hell is matt? =)

LOOKIE HERE: lollapalooza the awesome-ness

i'm not addicted to these sort of fb/myspace games. it just happened that adam tagged me for this a few days ago and i thought this is even more awesome than the last one!

i must confess that i did not own an ipod until last year. i was oddly and strangely really anti-apple. something got to me and now i have an inherited blue-ish nano named lollapalooza the awesome-ness, soon to be lollapalooza meyers. i'm rather fond of the future mrs. jonathan rhys meyers and always feeding her the best stuff out there.



The game: If your life were a soundtrack, what would the music be?

Here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. New question - press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool

Opening Credits: the shins, "a call to apathy"
foking great. if my life were this movie, i'm doomed.

Waking Up: spoon, "this book is a movie"
i'll publish an autobiography, which turns out to be a big success, and then they make it into a movie. not so shabby after all.

First Day At School: architecture in helsinki, "do the whirlwind"
i wish my first day of school were this incredibly sexy and awesome.

Falling in Love: interpol, "obstacle 1"
not what i imagined my falling in love would be like, but i love interpol and have no complain.

Breaking Up: yeah yeah yeahs, "y-control"
this is in a strange way utterly appropriate, and i would soooo break up to this song!

Prom: calogero, "face a la mer"
i never went to my senior prom therefore have no idea what went on, just like how i feel about the song, it's in french and i have absolutely no clue what it's about.

Life's Okay: the national, "all the wine"
what? does this mean that i enjoy life only because alcohol is my escape from reality? and apparently i turn into a total smug and act pompously when i'm intoxicated. oh nooooo! but life could be worse, i suppose.

Mental Breakdown: the wombats, "little miss pipedream"
i'm starting to get very very confused. my interpretation is that working in a dental office (like miss pipedream in the song) 9-5 everyday is the cause of my mental breakdown. yep that's it.

Driving: acid house kings, "i write summer songs for no reason"
i guess if we don't take the lyrics into consideration, this is a pretty nice song to road trip with, maybe write some summer songs while i'm away too. woop!

Flashback: razorlight, "in the morning"
wow! if my life really were this movie, i must be a very fucked up person. i mean i don't get what exactly this song is about, but it's definitely got something to do with getting shit-faced, sex/prostitution, or maybe even pete doherty.

ohhh hold the phone hold the phone, i got it! this is all making sense now. after my mental breakdown because of the dead-end job, i decided to take a road trip and wrote a hit summer song. i became a rock star and led a decadent lifestyle (therefore the autobiography) that filled with booze, blunts, and bitches. it sounds kinda awesome.

Getting Back Together: klaxons, "gravity's rainbow"
"come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity". i guess i really picked myself up after all that shit huh?

Wedding: sea wolf, "black dirt"
dude, what kind of sick wedding is this? a song about corruption, darkness, heartbreak, revenge, and possibly murder, soundtracking my wedding? did I have another mental breakdown or something? though i would totally play sea wolf at my wedding.

Birth of a Child: magic numbers, "long legs"
i'm going to be a bad mother.

Final Battle: the do, "on my shoulders"
after all that i've been through, it doesn't seem like i put on a very good fight in the end. well, if this was my final battle soundtrack, at least it is a stylish war.

Death Scene: the kooks, "seaside"
this song is beautiful, melancholy, and very short. surprising perfect for a death scene, although the lyrics have nothing to do with death.

Funeral Song: the pigeon detectives, "take her back"
dude what's going on at my funeral? guys get so drunk they can't even tell the girls they're hooking up with are 17 or 31?

End Credits: bay city rollers, "i only wanna be with you"
so i guess it's an upbeat and happy ending. maybe i finally find true love and happiness in the afterlife?
