Gone with the wind: thoughts on slowing birds down or eating leaves...

It is funny how the small, brown, wet leaves pass me with notice. They really draw my attention when I am to sit and eat breakfast. They move on the floor, roll up, scatter and swirl around me.

At first I thought the leaves are birds. When I noticed them I quickly turned and looked. I got little shocked when I found out they were not birds, only leaves that was dragged by the wind curves from the trees to the road sides.
They look so alive!

No matter how funny are the leaves, birds are a whole lot funnier!

Feel like blogging


Do feelings exist?
If true feelings exist, when do they strike and where?

I think that men remind me of monkeys. Monkeys reflect humans in many different ways.
I draw some questions with that reflection in mind:

How do monkeys remind me of men?
assume men are attracted to women, do monkeys feel similar attraction?
If men are disappointed and feel bad, do monkeys also feel bad?

Now forget about monkeys, I wonder about the relations of my feelings and the external reality. I think of the next model:

  1. Feelings are reactions to reality.
  2. At times when "reality changes" occur, feelings or reactions can increase or decrease.
  3. Feelings or reactions create "reality changes" all over again and shape a new reality.

This model is a cycle in which the phases are following each other.

For example:
  1. When I feel bad I want to feel better. I require specific information about my condition.
  2. This information helps me to solve my problems.
  3. From now on I would consider the knowledge I gained to feel better again.

To finish with sweet taste and encourage imagination I am hoping for a bright future.
May it hold love and joy, Amen!

Story from an early developed mind

Going to the store shopping I notice some strange occur.

The woman behind the counter wears a coat although it is not cold. Is it because the shop has air condition or is she extremly sensitive?

The woman wears also glasses that do not exactly match her face size. Is this another aspect of her been a shop counter woman?

POEM ON POLICE

They come from out of sight. When it is dark they glow inside.
Their laughter makes them shrink with blame. Too young to be confronted by their name.
Running in the cold of the night, pretend they do not care. What are they learning there? Tired of detecting lies, they despite that evil do arise.
Some kid hides and wishes he was dead or better for him, the crown above his head.

small world
On fall 2004 I got to N.Y.C.. My goal was to settle in the city and soon enough I met my Israeli friends there.
I was fascinated with the looks of the people so I decided to spend some time in guesthouses and to explore what's up in the big apple.
Passing my nights with tourists from all over the world, I met some nice people and some completely foolish human beings. Then one night I met a cute, young Romanian couple.
The woman looked quite sad and said she did not want to go back to Romania. The man saw it through and realized he had to go back. That night was one of their last nights before they would leave each other. I was excited to spend their last night together with them.
I stayed in touch with the woman for a while and then we stopped talking.
The funniest thing ever happened to me a month ago during a shopping spree on fifth avenue. Just when I was about to wrap it up, in a packed A&F store, I see the same Romanian woman helping me to try a medium white burgundy stripe Champlain valley oxford classic shirt!
Later I paid on that shirt 69.99$ with tax...
Who could believe that in a city with over than 9 million residents, two years after that last night with the couple, I would encounter that women again, and in such a way (she was working in the shop)....
That only shows that we are never alone...

intro
Pop music is often regarded as low music that was created to serve one purpose only...getting the label richer than before..
The truth is that many of us listen to it and quite enjoy!
For example I did a small experiment: While driving I listened only to radio(zapping through Israeli stations) by night continued to explore new stuff through Internet customized radio stations and downloads to my p.c.
The results are not surprising...I'm more in touch with what is happening more so I'm capable to determine the next best thing(A Maximo cover version plays these days on 99 F.M radio)
Now if art makes u look at things different pop music can fit in well as a valid art form, if it changes your thought patterns still it depends on your personal taste and the quality of the track .
No matter what, its important to realize one thing, we must keep our independent thinking. By choosing the station and by taking something with us to the next one.

maximo park

Fortunate to know their songs my brother introduced me this new band and I welcomed their music straight to my playlist .
Born in Fenham , a town near north eastern city of Newcastle,
4 members playing variety of instruments gathered together to join fifth player and form a band .
On april 2004 they succeded in getting favoring opinions from the media & audiences around the u.k with their debut album A certain trigger released under the label Warp Records.
Upon the rising of new rock bands from u.s and Europe maximo definitely stands as an independent figure in addition they address the Scandinavian sounds that brings up a further extreme day view of what is going on with the music industry.
Pop music is a valid art-form.
Pop music can shape the thought patterns of everyone.
