ATMOSPHERE


Walk in silence
don't walk away in silence
see the danger
always danger
and the stalking
life
don't walk away

Walk in silence
don't walk away in silence
your confusion
my illusion
walk like a monster
confronting and die
don't walk away

people like you
find it easy
it comes to see
walking on air
hunting by the rivers, through the streets, every corner...
abandoned too soon
sit down with you
( care ..)

don't walk away

Giuliana Sgrena - Nicola Calipari

No man is an island, entire of itself,
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main
if a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were,
as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were
any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls
it tolls for thee.
-- John Donne

El Greco

El Greco was born in 1541 near Heraklion on the greek island of Crete and died in 1614 in Toledo, Spain. The painting you see here is a "View on the city of Toledo" dated +/- 1600.
( NY MOMA )
We still find this painter attractive today, he is really an icon of catholisism and representation of different saints. When I was in Madrid I especially went looking for him in the Prado and the Museum Thyssen-Borneszima and I can say I was really impressed by the powerful force you experience by looking at his works.
The fierce colours he uses, the long-stretched figures who are anatomically impossible, but gives each painting a very dramatic tension. When you see an El Greco painting, always look at the right hand of the character, you will notice that the fingers are crossed. That was his signature.
I very much like the passion and the pain I feel when looking at his works, to me he is one of the greatest en certainly most unique painters I know.
The view on Toledo you see here, I find a very dark and depressing painting, the coming tempest predicts us times of violence and tragedy.. Also the very low perspective reminds us of the littleness ( nothingness ) of man in relation to history, faith and fortune.

I hope you enjoy him as much as I do.

My tiger friend has got a sled
And I have packed a snack
We're all set for the trip ahead
We're never coming back

We're abandoning this life we've led
So long, Mom and Pop !
We're sick of doing what you've said
And now it's going to stop

We're going where it snows all year
Where life can have real meaning
A place where we won't have to hear...
"Your room could stand some cleaning"

The Yukon is the place for us
that's where we want to live
Up there we'll get to yell and cuss
And act real primitive

We'll never have to clean a plate
of veggie glops and goos
messily we'll masticate
using any fork we choose !

The timber wolves will be our friends
We'll stay up late and howl
at the moon, till nighttime ends
before going on the prowl.

Oh, what a life, we cannot wait,
to be in that arctic land,
Where we'll be masters of our fate
and lead a life that's grand.

No more of parental rules !
We're heading for the snow !
Good riddance to those grown up ghouls !
We're leaving, YUKON HO

Hell fire and heavenly light

As we can always enjoy an elegant chain of thoughts :

Dr. Schambaugh, of the University of Oklahoma School of Chemical Engineering, Final Exam question for May of 1997. Dr. Schambaugh is known for asking questions such as, "why do airplanes fly?" on his final exams. His one and only final exam question in May 1997 for his Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer II class was: "Is hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Support your answer with proof."


1 student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time So we need
to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which
they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to
Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let''s look at the different
Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that
if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since
there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to
more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in
Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the
volume in Hell because Boyle''s Law states that in order for the temperature
and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand
proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which
souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase
until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls
in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell
freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa Gibbons during my Freshman
year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take
into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must
be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen
over.

The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows
that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore,
extinct...leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine
being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

This is BY FAR the best flemish poem ever, not incedently it comes from Antwerp, enjoy :

Toen hij bespeurde hoe den nevel van den tijd
In d'n ogen van zijn vrouw de vonken uit kwam doven,
haar wangen had verweerd, haar voorhoofd had doorkloven,
toen wendde hij zich af en vrat zich op van spijt.

Hij vloekte en ging te keer en trok zich bij den baard
en mat haar met den blik, maar kon niet meer begeren
hij zag de grootste zonde in duivelsplicht verkeren
en hoe zij opkeek als een stervend paard.

Maar sterven deed zij niet, al zoog zijn helse mond
het merg uit haar gebeente, dat haar toch bleef dragen
Zij dorst niet spreken meer, niet vragen of niet klagen
en rilde waar zij stond, maar leefde en bleef gezond

Hij dacht : ik sla haar dood en steek het huis in brand
ik moet de schimmel van mijn stramme voeten wassen
en rennen door het vuur en water plassen
tot bij een ander lief in enig ander land

Maar doodslaan deed hij niet, want tussen droom en daad
staan wetten in den weg, en praktische bezwaren
en ook weemoedigheid, die niemand kan verklaren
en die des avonds komt, wanneer men slapen gaat

Zo gingen jaren heen, de kindren werden groot
en zagen dat de man die zij hun vader heetten
bewegingloos en zwijgend bij het vuur gezeten
een godvergeten en vervaarlijken aanblik bood

Astemblieft !

Si tu m'aimes vraiment
Viens donc me retrouver
Dans ma cabane perdue
Au milieu des marais
N'aie pas peur sur ta route
Des barques échouées
Suis la senteur salée
Des longs roseaux mouillés

Et nous nous aimerons
Sur le sol craquelé
Allongés sur ces herbes
Par le soleil brulées
Quand grondera l'orage
Ne sois pas effrayée
Puisque nous sommes deux
Sur mon ïle isolée
