"Sleeps With Butterflies" <--clicky clicky
Airplanes
Take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
For you the acrobat
I won't push you unless you have a net
You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy
Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy
Not much exciting going on...I'll write when something happens that's worth writing about?
Oh - my roomates are cucumber sniffers. That's about it in the excitment department.

This song (http://www.porcupinetree.com/blackfield/PAIN_large.mov) from Aviv Geffen's first English CD makes me sad. Actually, most of his music is slit-your-wrist sad, but this one, for some reason...
ya
:(
PAIN
Here I'm standing on the seashore
She is gone, now she's gone
All the angels praying for me
As I fall, as I fall
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?
To the nightmare with the devil
I'll go strong, I'll go strong
All my friends now try to save me
What a joke, what a joke
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?
(LYRICS - Aviv Geffen)
BUT IT IS OK!!! THIS VIDEO (and mostly the song) MAKES ME GLEEFUL!! BECAUSE IT IS SO GOOD!! WHEEE!!!

Came accross this picture today.
I was searching for a picture of the scene from Fantasia..the one with the fat greek guy eating grapes in the wine fountain.
Instead I came up with this photo of three guys in Brazil at Carnival. As funny as it is, the funnier part is that I remember, way back in 1997, knitting something like this for my cousin. As a complete joke. After watching this hilarious Afrikaans movie...ok. That sounded wierd. It wasn't wierd. But it would take too long to explain.
So here is the photo
(Really, I have no words for this)

"Man Of Action"
Between the night and day
lost in the law of averages
what would you know
unless you'd lived a life of it?
They say the kid sold out,
in love with himself run ragged,
always looked to be a man of action
cause that's what the old man
should have been but
this world it wore him out
this world it wears you out
I dissapeared today
i went under
if only for a second
and i found where the light drown
if you lay down you can dissapear
altogether
I got me a whore head
i got me a day star
i lost me control of myself
and baby i don't want it back
no i don't want to be like that
if this is us in control of ourselves
Between the night and day
and so few eyes left open
your forgiveness ain't a neighborhood
that i'm looking to live in
maybe this world it wore me out |

 And 5 hours of reading about Genocide.

Followed by a nightime game of....
 AND 5 more chapters of

Sounds like the making of a good (?) sticom.

Hast du geglaubt, hast du gehofft, dass alles besser wird?
Hast du geweint, hast du gefleht, weil alles anders ist?
Wo ist die Zeit, wo ist das Meer?
Sie fehlt, sie fehlt hier.
Du fragst mich, wo sie geblieben ist.
Die Nächte kommen, die Tage gehen,
es dreht und wendet sich.
Hast du die Scherben nicht gesehen, auf denen du weitergehst?
Wo ist das Licht, wo ist dein Stern?
Er fehlt, er fehlt hier.
Du fragst mich, wo er geblieben ist.
Wird alles anders?

Ja ich weiß, es war 'ne geile Zeit,

Du fehlst hier.

Du willst hier weg, du willst hier raus, du drehst die Zeit zurück.
Du atmest ein, du atmest aus,
doch nichts verändert sich.
Wo ist die Nacht, wo ist der Weg?
Wie weit, wie weit noch?
Du fragst mich, wo wir gewesen sind.

Things have been status-quo. I'm almost done my application letter. How I'm supposed to describe myself, why i want to do OT and what I can offer in 500 words...I don't know.
Managed to get the (new) Idan Raichel CD (ממעמקים) if anyone knows him...so now I have both albums. So so good.

wow. what a weekend.
Friday night was a New Year's Eve-Robbie Burns-Friday the 13th party at Aviv's place...lots of champagne, kilts, haggis, and kissing at midnight.
Saturday night was amazing...but from now on, i MUST remember to cease drinking before 6am. haha. I was, as Mel put it, "Crunk"
Spent Sunday in a bit of a haze...did about 3 hours of homework at Calhouns, went home and ordered Pizza (SPELT!! Rebellious Tomato wins!!) with the roomies...attempted to do more homework and gave up in favour of listening to corny Israeli music with Jonathan...who unsuccessfully tried to convince me that there is such thing as not corny israeli music.
Oh, and by the way, Idan Raichel is gorgeous...other than the waist-long dreads. But wow.
This was a bit of a pointless entry but anyway... |

How much am I loving my roomies right now, and their willingness to participate in all the crazy things I suggest?
On Saturday it was pouring pouring rain...there was a puddle in the driveway big enough to swim in! But, I somehow convinced both of them to go for a run with me. We put on our bathingsuits and ran about 14 blocks, then back to the beach, stripped down, and (I) jumped into the ocean. Then hung out in our bathing suits doing cartwheels and sommersaults in the grass (mud). We walked home barefoot...which hurt on the gravel...but the mud in the grass squishes so nicely between your toes! So I just stuck to the mud as much as possible.
When we got home we realized the big problem - how to get our dirty muddy feet across the white carpet to the bathtub to wash them off. So, we all stood on a towel and jumped/shuffled/fell our way to the bathroom and stuck our feet in the tub. Which was nice and warm. Until J* turned on the shower!! So, we all got (more) soaked, but whatever...it was fun.
I haven't done enough things that make me laugh in a "this-is-crazy-what-am-I-thinking-I'm-laughing-so-hard-I-can't-breathe" kind of a way lately.
But, it seems that I now have loyal partners in crime.
Mwhahaha!!
(Next step is to convince them that skinny dipping in the fountain in front of main library was fun and should be repeated....) |

יהיה טוב
אני מביט מהחלון
וזה עושה לי די עצוב
האביב חלף עבר לו
מי יודע אם ישוב
הליצן נהיה למלך
הנביא נהיה ליצן
ושכחתי את הדרך
אבל אני עוד כאן
פזמון:
יהיה טוב
יהיה טוב כן
לפעמים אני נשבר
אז הלילה הו הלילה
איתך אני נשאר
ילדים לובשים כנפיים
ועפים אל הצבא
ואחרי שנתיים
הם חוזרים ללא תשובה
אנשים חיים במתח
מחפשים סיבה לנשום
ובין שנאה לרצח
מדברים על השלום
פזמון….
שם למעלה בשמים
עננים לומדים לעוף
ואני מביט למעלה
ורואה מטוס חטוף
ממשלות וגנרלים
מחלקים לנו את הנוף
לשלהם ולשלנו
מתי נראה ת'סוף
הנה בא נשיא מצרים
איך שמחנו לקראתו
פירמידות בעיניים
ושלום במקטרתו
ואמרנו בוא נשלימה
ונחיה כמו אחים
ואז הוא אמר קדימה
רק תצאו מהשטחים
פזמון….
עוד נלמד לחיות ביחד
בין חורשות עצי זיתים
ילדים יחיו בלי פחד
בלי גבולות בלי מקלטים
על קברים יפרח העשב
לשלום ואהבה
מאה שנים של חרב
ועוד לא, לא אבדה התקווה
...And all will be good, yes all will be good,
Though I sometimes break down.
But this night, oh, this night,
I will stay with you... |

How long, how long, how long will we take to come undone?
If you know the answer tell me now and I'll write up a calendar for our count down.
'Cos what if what we see is all, is all we've got?
Say you've kept some fire aside to set light to me some surprising night.
And say you've locked some fire away to set light to me some surprising day.
To me some surprising day, any day now...
How come, how come, how come I'm now on a road holding out my thumb?
If you know my destination please buy me the fastest car and throw me the keys.
'Cos what if what we see is all, is all we've got?
Say you've kept some fire aside to set light to me some surprising night.
And say you've locked some fire away to set light to me some surprising day.
'Cos finger by finger we're losing grasp and
I'm questioning the reason why nothing beautiful does last...
Say you've kept some fire aside to set light to me some surprising night.
And say you've locked some fire away to set light to me some surprising day,
to me some surprising day... any day now. |

Hmm...I have been supremely horrible at updating this diary. I really don't have any excuse, other than laziness. So, a little update on what I've been up to...
Working...lots of working. We are in the process of getting another grant from NASA to do a study on retired Russian cosmonauts. But NASA is in a bit of a turmoil right now so things are being held up a little. I also hired two students who have decided to work on the Holocaust study. One is doing a study on Righteous Gentiles, and the other is doing a comparative study of values and religion in Jews vs Jehovahs' witnesses in concentration camps (as Jehovah's witnesses had to option of 'giving up' their religion and being freed, whereas Jews didn't). Apparently, USHMM has 100's of oral histories that are availible to the academic community free of charge, so I'm going to see if I can get some transcripts of interviews with Jehovah's witnesses. Should be interesting.
I've been considering what I want to do next year. I still want to do something in the medical field, although I'm not sure if being a doctor is what I want to do. I've been looking pretty seriously into the MOT (Masters of Occupational Therapy) program at UBC. I have most of the requirements, I just need a few more volunteer hours working with people with disabilities. AND, it doesn't require GRE's. Major major bonus.
_altoid_ is in Montreal for the weekend...UBC gave him a scholarship to attend the "Canadian Association of Security and Intelligence Studies" conference. Goodstuff. He's staying with Elaina, which is pretty cool. I'm getting caught up on a bunch of books I've been wanting to read, which is nice.
Going to walk home tomorrow. Out of interest...just to see how long it takes. It's 16km, of which 6km is uphill. I predict it will take me 3 hours...but we'll see.
Thats about it. I should get back to work.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!! |

It's hard to explain how I am getting by
on so little from you.
It's hard to believe that I would let myself
get so wrapped in you.
There's got to be something that would
be worthwhile for me to give to you.
We need a connection but you
seem to push me far away from you.
Sorry I haven't been very good at updating...
Things have been pretty hectic, but now that my parents are back I think they should calm down a little bit.
If anyone has time on Thursday night at 9.30, the film fest is showing a movie called "Live and Believe" It is absolutely one of the best films I have ever seen. IT is about an Ethiopian boy who is sent to Israel as part of Operation Moses (to save Jewish Ethiopians from famine and persecution) but the only problem is that he isn't actually Jewish. He is adopted by a family in Israel and the movie is basically about his life and how all these things start colliding: race, religion...love...it is really really good. SO GO SEE IT!
I've done a little bit of hiking. R* and I were supposed to go up to Mamaquam lake last Friday but I got sick so we didn't leave until Saturday. In retrospect, I probably should have stayed home cuz I wasn't feeling much better, but anyway. We headed up planning to go up Garibaldi Lake but when we got there the parking lot(s) were ALL full!! So we decided to go up to Russet Lake via Singing Pass. You hike from Whistler Village to a lake that is higher than the top of Whistler mountain. Good times.
The pics are posted here:

Always a little sad today.
I'm getting together with Rach later tonight so we can reminisce about him...the good times we had...the regrets...
Rootbeer and Rum will be the drink of choice I believe. Might have to do an honourary lap around the block in a frozen sports bra.
*sigh*
I can't believe it's already been two years.
Last night I saw "Live and Become" at the film fest. It is playing one more time. If anyone has time, they should definitely definitely go see it. So good. So so good.
Tomorrow night I'm going to see Lie With Me. It looks like a porn. Basically. R* and I have post-movie plans. I'm excited.
Dido keeps running through my head. Strangeness.
When you're stoned, baby, I am drunk
And we make love, it seems a little desolate
It's hard sometimes not to look away
And think what's the point when I'm having to hold this fire down
I think I'll explode if I can't feel this freely now
If you won't let me fall for you
Then you won't see the best that I would love to do for you
Instead you will be missing me when I go
Cos' I'm bored of hangin out in your cold
When I feel loved baby, I join the road
And the world moves with me
When I feel lost I just slip away
Silently, quietly take my things and go
And think what's the point, think where's the hope we're coming home
And if you find one day, find some freedom and relief
With this freedom maybe, maybe you will find some peace
With this peace baby, I hope it brings you back to me
Bring you home, take me home
Oh, take me home
Oh, take me home
When you're stoned, baby, take me home
Oh... |

...from an American Friend
1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, liposuction and air conditioning.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. And everyone knows that gay people constitute their own species, not of the homosapien nature.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9) Children can never succeed without both a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans... |
