You know i don’t really know why things happen,

but i know that they happen,

and i know there is good to be found in them.

d e m o c r a c y.

such a heavy sounding word
for such a effortlessly simple concept

Turkey!

nobody@ipernity.com (..mo) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 16:21:05 +0000

So yes! it's a family trip to the lovely country Turkey, where my ancestors came from (or at least half of them).

The whole trend of shiny text annoys me, it feels like fisher-price attacked the web, but i guess it looks nice/annoying rather than just ugly/annoying?

Anyways!
If you're the photo-enthusiast that i know you are (the kind that commit queer awkward things for groovy photos) [yes, i know you *know* exactly what i'm talking about]

1. climbing up buildings at 5 am (that's you Nirrimi)
2. following strange people for more than half an hour
3. talking to strangers, precisely the kind your mama warned you about
4. trespassing, breaking-into property
5. shooting in "no-camera" illegal places
6. jumping in out off, heights
7. soaking yourself in rain without an umbrella bc your hands are full
8. roaming the streets long till after 12 to catch the nightlife
9. being yelled at, for not asking first
10. putting *real* fire to old buildings to capture a more dramatic scene (ohhhhh really?)

If you fit any of the cases above and have travelled/lived in Turkey i'd appreciate your input on the places i can visit near Istanbul to commit any of the above in the most rewarding way possible!

:) that was to make you smile, all advice is highly appreciated and welcome!

i can think of a few flickr friends that i would love to meet.
i'd also like to make time to meet you,
flickr mail!

the Lover, the Liar, and I

Listen MP3 (@ ipernity) or read it bellow...

I felt the ground move
and with it
the stars above
Higher more distant
like travelers saying goodbyes
I reached out and
held on one, the earth tore apart
From it came whispers
of forgotten stories and white lies
Neglected souls and dying hearts
Captives of temporaries and sadness
Prisoners of power and possessions
Farewell, Farewell, said I
I may not be coming back
I may not be recognized
They told I,

Parted, I looked above
Into the dark, past the burning light
Who's stung brazed the observer
the lover, the liar, and I
"There is nothing but vacuum and darkness"
said I
"It is all that they will ever see"
said the Star,
but blind, was still I
We left our natures behind us,
the acceptance of Knowledge
and the nothingness of Time
our arrogance in territory and
our lustful glee for the colors
Oh, the Colors how they shine
aloft, among us now
How gay and glorious they are
without us now

What joyous Light is this!
What does it carry, where will it lead us?
What other miracles await us!
But sure silence answers..
My body, machine over mind
My mind, twisters and imagery
"Be still, be still" says my heart
But patience leaves ever so quickly
as the delirium that afflicts enters so quietly
Desperation and thirst, I ask once more!
"Tell me, tell me! What magic overtakes us!!"
"There is nothing of what you seek here child"
said the Star
"No riches,
no tricks,
no love that binds,
no fear to praise,
no fame to daze
Nothing of what you have ever known,
awaits us"

Your senses are all that you will ever feel
Your world illusions at your fingertips
They told I,
Lights encompass my mind
My vision restored
Swift! A thousand memories pass by
What youth, will thy age reconcile?
What ache, will thy love overcome?
What is this then?!
"Be still" says my heart again!
Is this the view to eternity,
or am i envisioning the true window to truth?
"There are no lies here,
But truth! Truth, Truth?!
'Truth' is all you realize"
said the Star

Here..
there is only stillness
But in this stillness there is Creation
And in that Creation there will be Life
and Life will be blooming Life
The blooming and revolving and the dying
in One
There is no light here but one that bends
This crescent holds no colors but all take One
The never ending, and the semi translucent
The Layers, the Layers, the Layers
There is no more or less
There is only Existence and in Existence there is joy
In Existence there is Acceptance
What you see here is nothing.
but the silence of Creation,
the Equality, the Scale, and Translucence
of Life,

Do you know where you are

everything is fair

how? | why?

everyone’s got secrets
and i thought i was yours
i never knew anyone
could come so close
to be a part of you
i woke up this morning.. to realize
that you were never there
and i, probably lost

but today is different
i’m no bigger, never stronger
just trying harder
keeping pace with my heart
this anatomy of melancholy
is laced to every memory of you
but this time i’m not leaving
and i’m not left behind

everything is fair
there is no control
why bother trying
you know before being told
bitter & sad it’s all there
i wish i could turn it all around
but who would suffer now
who hasn’t suffered already
when will you see
i’m not who you want me to be

i know i wont be riding a sports car
or living your fairy tale.. nor mine
those tight suits don’t fit me
my smile isn’t an inscription
or a reciprocation of duty
i was never fishing to be special
just trying harder to listen
to this faint music compromise
this beating heart.

Well here is a photo of my Grandma —because fear of my life my mom will go ninja on me if she found out i was uploading photos of her (well actually that's her arm on the right there).

On the other hand my grandparents are quite enthusiastic about it! Its true, my grandfather even, wants to be updated if any good looking European women are interested in him. And i'm sorry i haven't brought this up before (forgetful me) but i guess this is good time as any, if anyone fits the bill feel free to contact me the usual way and i'll pass on the message, thanks! :)

But today is about women and mothers so here are 5 totally true reasons my mom is awesome.
1. she's my mother! (or at least they tell me she is -oh and they have photos to prove it)
2. she's been in history & is very brave (for real)
3. she's written 4 books which are used as university text books today (i honestly cant believe this)
4. she chats with me on msn (LOL)
5. she is ridiculously intolerably self-sacrificing eee!

this year's greeting card inscription
mom,
i know its hard being you,
especially when i'm your kid (no joke)
but that's why i love you so much
you never returned me to the store
you bought me from :)

happy mother's day?

You Aren't Lucky

nobody@ipernity.com (..mo) — Fri, 23 May 2008 22:52:18 +0000

you aren't smart . you never were
you're always barely making it past
just to reach the next bending corner
no one has ever called you "special"
or "talented" as far as you remember
but you dont . you wouldn't
there was no one to read you stories late at night
and you'd knock the jaw right off the toothfairy if you ever met her
you're who they call a basket case
behind your back, with that emotionless pity nod
your life's fucked . and they all say it is
they don't care . neither do you
because you're doing

just fine.

the law of infinite momentary consistency; or otherwise known as
plain self integrity.

I wasn't at all satisfied with the previous edit of this image - I thank all of you who have commented or faved it, this repost is for me :)
