(Actually think I might have a copy, looks, no, sorry, that's Autumn Sonata. And the laugh a minute Seventh Seal.)<br /><br />Scott: I should not be left alone without an MP3 player in my ears distracting my mind from these thoughts - actually, the impression of the rushing wind and approaching death was a brief and black humorous moment only - stretched for rhetorical purposes in the blog post to build up to the statue pic. All the literary references crept in because, hey, it was me writing (I actually removed a few, unless you got the absolute first draft in your RSS feed...)<br /><br />MM: Very pensive, actually I was thinking more of fellow blogger Creepy at <a href="http://creepy.blogs.com/creepys_weblog/" rel="nofollow">Church Of Lost Souls</a>, who is genuinely in a REAL funk! I was mainly stretching that up with a few other episodes, but I do get in a funk when I'm by myself too long. I've never ever thought of suicide though, just wondered why others have. <br /><br />Indy: dude, I know. BTW, did you look after that vodka bottle last night for me? Tapping that arsehole bartender on the freaking head with it would have been a good start. $200 bucks for a bottle worth $50 and then only 2 juices and 2 sodas... FMD! Grrr, freaking think out of the fucking box, Singaporeans! Sorry folks, private story. He wouldn't give us 3 juices and 1 soda, oh no, that's not the RULES! E@L had to keep a low profile after getting a case of irritable ang-moh syndrome and grabbing him by his wrist (!no-no!) as he leaned forwards towards me... <br /><br />"Security!" (No, not called.)expat@largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250623536121293636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-25002747248163740132009-06-07T23:05:10.242+10:002009-06-07T23:05:10.242+10:00You've got lots of friends...now if you could ...You've got lots of friends...now if you could just work out how to ride your bike and read at the same time you would be able to kill two birds...Indianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691561872847907682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-49719016808863393822009-06-07T18:45:18.414+10:002009-06-07T18:45:18.414+10:00I detect a slight pensive, if not reflective mood?...I detect a slight pensive, if not reflective mood?<br />I like it. That tells me you’re feet are somewhat on the ground, considering they will be sooner than we think under it.<br />” ……buying the time”<br />Yes, making/creating time to kill it.<br />Funny we can’t get our head around time, even when we know there is only now, and you’ll always get an argument similar to that of a non believer who in fright of his life (and otherwise) utters ”O God!”<br />To be or not to be?<br />I would like personally in this life to befriend the unknown/death; see it as a beginning of what rationally has to be the greater of what e are a part of.<br />We live, and die do we not. There is no to be or not to be; there is only both.<br />Meantime, give yourself a lash, things to do; places to be, and don’t be late.Momentary Madnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05314884356743431845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-24886838569052452352009-06-07T16:57:26.391+10:002009-06-07T16:57:26.391+10:00Too much contemplation is not always productive. ...Too much contemplation is not always productive. We can be in danger of disappearing up our own backside.<br /><br />Get out on the bike more often now that you have the seat options sorted. There are few things more liberating for the soul than feeling ahead of others and I imagine being able to move a little more freely on your bike would give you that. With the double benefit of the exercise and thumbing your nose at uncle and the other's plodding along to the tune of the dictatorship, it has to be a winner.<br /><br />Always enjoy the parties though, they move along so quickly.Lost in Melbournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03197275050826963568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-47165403526798334012009-06-07T09:16:46.919+10:002009-06-07T09:16:46.919+10:00See if you can find a copy of Ingmar Bergman's...See if you can find a copy of Ingmar Bergman's 'Wild Strawberries', get smashed, put your feet up and away you go.Dick Headleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978203284842718331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-21814131079799036292009-06-07T06:33:00.014+10:002009-06-07T06:33:00.014+10:00everything all at once again, sugar? and now, how ...everything all at once again, sugar? and now, how long do we have? yes? no? *sigh* <br /><br />the sculpture is incredible looking. i'd love to see more of his work, if possible. xoxoxsavannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310843901371718758noreply@blogger.com
