Passion can create drama out of inert stone.

--LE CORBUSIER, 1931

What human beings need is ... a real
city which they can build, a place which satisfies the dreamer and is
acceptable to the scientist, a place where the projections of the artist and
the builder merge.

--CONSTANTINOS A. DOXIADIS

A requirement of creativity is that it contributes to change. Creativity keeps the creator alive.

--FRANK HERBERT

If I compare the way in which a graphic sheet from my technique period came into being with that of a print expressing a particular train of thought, then I realize that they are almost poles apart. What often happened in the past was that I would pick out from a pile of sketches one which it seemed to me might be suitable for reproduction by means of some technique that was interesting me at that moment in time. But now it is from amongst those techniques, which I have to some degree mastered, that I choose the one which lends itself more than any other, to the expression of the particular idea that has taken hold of my mind.

The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.

I promise this won't be normal or typical.
I promise you can leave and I won't weep.
I like it when yo use your laptops.
I prefer people checking their texts/calls/etc.
I'm a big fan of interaction. Talk.
This is not church. (Is it?)
So, Oddly, this is FOR you.
I know what i know. Ask for what YOU need.
Think about what's important to you.
And another thing. Laugh. (not the whole time)

We all have our dreams. We all like to imagine what should be, or could be. Be they tangible or otherwise, we all look to our thoughts for the comfort that one day we'll have what we want, or need. But the truth is that no matter how hard you try, they all crumble and burn; struck by flying metal and thrashed to the ground. I have hope, I have faith, I have love and I have trust, but all in all it never really matters. In the end, no matter what you've said to people or done in your life, it all falls short. Well. I had faith, hope and trust. Now all that's left is love, but once more, it doesn't really matter. Life is just one big vicious fucking circle.

human condition

The guys I dated were very bad, but then again just human
and conditioned to their environment.
In that light, I will take a reformed bad boy. Those are fun. They still have that edge in the way they talk and mannerisms, but they've grown. And they've learned on their own why their former ways need mending.

Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.

-Alice Walker

You can't always have what you want
or need......Yet.
You'll get it. One way or another.
As long as
you keep your eyes peeled
your mind clear
and your heart dedicated.
Just set your goal and never let it go.Trust me.

It's all right on time.And it's all for a reason.
You may not know the reason right away, if ever
but I can garuntee you that it is indeed there.
It's hard to believe, and it's even harder to accept
but it's true.So never look back and give a shy eye.
And never act like your life is meaningless. It's not.

Truth be told, it is a good idea to keep your eyes
on the road ahead of you...
just be sure you check the rear view mirror every once in a while
just to see and make sure the town you grew up in is still in sight.


Hang tight, never give up, never say never and never give in.
=
Love me.
Love you.
Love her.
Love him.
Love them.
Love us.
Love we.
Love when.

the princee went slowly through the forest]
his beautiful horse was silent
its hooves didn't make a sound on the moss
the branches magically spread before him
the sky was taking on the color of roses
will I be in time? the prince wondered
he remembered what the magician had told him
the night is your only enemy once it has cast its cloak
of darkness over the world
and you can't tell the shadow of a dog
from that of a wolf
you will know it is too late,
and your beautiful lady is lost forever
hurry if you love her
the princes heart was pounding.
he knew he was thinking of his beloved of the darkness

a garden in the rain is so sweet
and sad like me without you
i don't want you to die, ever
we'll always be together, my love
your little pierre

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Tomorrow Starts Without Me

If tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all that we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss some tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day is the same way,
There's no longing for the past.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart "

I Am Thankful

I am thankful for everything I have experienced
In this life of mine
For in all I have found
That in His Word-the answers I find

I am thankful for all the tears I have cried
For they have taught me to appreciate laughter
They have given me the ability to see the
The joy that comes after

Through my tears I have come to know
His Holy Spirit in my life
How He is always there
And comforts through the strife

I am thankful for the storms I have encountered
Knowing that the rainbow is at the end
Realization that they are only temporal
That with time all will mend

I have learned that I don’t need to be strong
For Yahshua supplies the strength for me
He shoulders my burdens
Regardless of what the circumstance may be

I am thankful for all the relationships
For the good and yes, for the bad
For they have given life to my emotions
An appreciation of what I have had

My most valuable relationship
Is that with Yahweh, my Father
I know that I can trust Him
As I can trust no other

I am thankful for the pain I have known
It has given a compassion for the suffering
An ability to reach out to others
An appreciation of little things

I understand the greatness of Yahshuas love
And the pain He has suffered for me
How He endured all things
So that I could be set free

I am thankful for the hunger and thirst
That I have had to go through
I appreciate having food before me
And sharing it with others too

He has given himself as my food and drink
To make sure that I was fed
His Blood shed for my drink
And His Body broken for my bread

Most of all, I am thankful for His Grace
For the provisions that it brings
How it has provided for
Me in all things

The Person I Long To Be

The day light breaks again
Another day has begun.

But still no sleep has come.
My body is weary

My mind overworked.
I lie awake thinking

But what I am unsure.
I need to break free from the cycle I endure.

Everyday is the same and the nights are undistinguished.
I feel as though I am being pushed along with the tide

Unable to break free from the everyday flow.
This is not me I need to change, before time takes over

And I am unable to change.
I need to be freed from the grasp of ordinary

And become that person I have always longed for.
Express myself in every way, and conquer the dreams as I lie awake.

Then I may fall asleep and put my mind to rest.
Make changes in my life and help those in need.

I would like to touch everyone's life in a positive way
And leave my mark on society before I fade away.

Victoria A. Mogyorosi

I’m
Taking a ride
Off to one side
It is a personal thing
Where
When I can’t stand
Up in this cage I’m not regretting

I don’t need a better thing
I’d settle for less
It’s another thing for me
I just have to wander through this world
Alone

Stop
before you fall
Into the hole that I have dug here
Rest
Even as you
Are starting to feel the way I used to

I don’t need a better thing
Just to sound confused
Don’t talk about everyone
I am not amused by you

'Cause I’m gonna lose you
Yes, I’m gonna lose you
If I'm gonna lose you

'Cause I’m gonna lose you
Yes, I’m gonna lose you
If I'm gonna lose you

I'm gonna lose you for good

Peter Yorn //Lose You

If I never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack; a glance from your eyes, and my life will be yours.

me without you

I dream of a world not afraid of color. A world where Oranges and Cyans can cohabit freely. Where Magentas and Greens hold hands with Greys and Teals. A world where no one would deny the right of a Yellow to marry a Blue. I dream of a world where the color one wears is as bold as one is.

-Chris Hemingway

“Jordan Lee 7/1/08

Today I think upon the nature of the mind and how little of mine I know. It wasn’t too long ago that I was of the assumption that the mind was something I used, a tool that I was given and relied on.

Only after each day of watching myself in action have I found I am, instead, just an occurance of my mind, this deeper thing that is my fate embodied.”

"I’ve never been 100% confortable and confident in myself, but I mask it pretty well."

so yeah, i am so much a dreamer still.
thanks to you, i know it now.

"It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It’s many hundred miles and it won’t be long" -Train Song
Vashti Bunyan

Sometimes i still feel the bruise.

January 18, 2009, 7:21 pm
Filed under: intangibles

This is just to say “hello”
And to let you know
I think of you from time to time
I know I never really knew you
But somehow I miss you
And wish that you’d stayed in my life

Making contact gets harder
As the silence grows longer
And isn’t it only me
Who’d like us to see each other?
How I would hate to be a bother
The way we left it was you’d ring

I’m under no illusion
As to what I meant to you
But you made an impression
And sometimes I still feel the bruise
Sometimes I still feel the bruise

Now and then I stumble on
What I’ve misplaced but never lost
An ache I first felt long ago
Though you’ve appeared and disappeared
Throughout these past few years
I’d be surprised if you now showed

Making contact gets harder
As the silence grows longer
And why would you think of me
When you were not the one in love?
When you were not the dreamer?
When you were just the dream?
-Trembling blue stars.

Same but Different

I'm in a boat
On the sea
And I see
You on the shore
So sure
Of yourself

You're in a boat
On the sea
And you see
Me on the shore
So sure
Of myself

We're in a boat
All at sea
And we see
We are the same
The same
But different

-Vashti Bunyan

you paly me hot and cold

FOOTPRINTS ON THE HEART-

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts
And we are never, ever the same."

Crimson Days

Every night I empty my heart, but by morning it's full again
Slow droplets of you sleep in through the night's soft caress
At dawn I overflow with thoughts of us
An aching pleasure that gives me no respite
Love cannot be contained
The neat packaging of desire splits asunder
Spilling crimson through my days
Long, languishing days that are now bruised tender with yearning
Spent searching for a fingerprint, a scent, a breath you left behind.

-Kelly Moss

today i put my purse in the washer. only to find out the washing had poked a hole in it during the course. but hey, no worries, i superglued it and it's all fixed now. a scare is not gonna hurt me.

- thanks for being my friend

i could be into you if i knew you were into me, you know

很多時候我們總是身處在孤獨的位置上
獨自面對著四面八方而來的龐大壓力和責任
要消化這些巨量的負荷
必須同時擁有堅定的意志、樂觀的心情、以及積極的態度
不能天真地期待別人來照亮自己
自己就是自己唯一的太陽

you got to cherish it.

a big surprise from mumu today was that she is three months preganant now. what a great news! i just thought what a great year for 1845: two gang memebers are having a baby, vicky & justin are getting married and vivi landed on permanent position at Apple. It definitely cant get any better than this, dont you all agree with me?

i am so so happy for mumu aiya and winston. they are going to start a whole new chapter of their lives. things are going to be so different and tough since there are still a lot of things they haven't sorted it out yet, but i am sure they will do just great. wow. i do not know how to put it in words. cant find the pharse to describe how thrill i am just by thinking about when we all meet at the next 1845 reunion. I am hoping its gonna be soon. I just cant wait for the moment to come.

hi gang,

my brian got issue and i am sure you all know that by heart. er.. what to write today. well, i started at waking up late this moring and was late at least 15 mins for my glass class. when i got there, my partner already blowing glass and i had to wait for my turn. so i went to library to pick up "digital hadid" and got some dvds also. went straight back to shop afterward. saw a bunch of high school kids in the shop and was wondering what the heck they were doing there. anyway, it was my turn to blow the glass. i occupied the bench #1 and started the rutine of blowing process.
i was quite happy with the result even though its so small. oh well, i'll blow a big one next time.
