Death is Everywhere.

Time to Die.

The conversation went like this:

  • ME: I don’t want to die a painful death.
  • HER: Huh? I am terrified of what comes after death. Modern medicine takes care of most of the pain, but I really hate not knowing what comes next.
  • ME: Really? I don’t want to look back and regret large chunks of my life. That would really suck.
  • HER: You are weird.
  • ME: ????

So, the questions are:

  1. Are you afraid of death?
  2. What is it that frightens you?

Depeche Mode - Fly On The Windscreen-Final Lyrics. Brought to you via the marquee tag. Don’t hate me.


Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen
For a start
Reminding us
We could be torn apart
Tonight
Death is everywhere
There are lambs for the slaughter
Waiting to die
And I can sense
The hours slipping by
Tonight
Come here
Kiss me
Now
Come here
Kiss me
Now
Death is everywhere
The more I look
The more I see
The more I feel
A sense of urgency
Tonight
Come here
Touch me
Kiss me
Touch me
Now
Touch me
Touch me
There are flies on the windscreen
There are lambs for the slaughter
There are flies on the windscreen
Come here
Touch me
Kiss me
Touch me
Now
Touch me
Touch me

My hard drive died a few weeks back. The essentials were rescued, but my RSS feeds are gone. I want yours.

Ave, gentleman

My goal is a serious relationship and I will do everything possible and impossible to build a strong and friendly family. I hope you are ready to be honest and I guess you can demand this from me too. I don’t want to meet in the future and to find out that you are 150 cm higher than me or that your seventh child is entering college this year. I want to find out everything before the actual meeting. I know for sure that all misunderstandings and quarrels start from lie. Any important detail, anything which you think can spoil our relations should be discussed and in the future it will not influence us any more…It will be very kind of you if you answer me to http://lovegalaxys.com/loveher and will tell more about yourself.

Please tell me about your plans for the future so that I could imagine what is waiting for me if we will be together. I am a serious lady, and I will give my heart to the man who will deserve it with honesty and respect to me.

Have a nice day

Dear, Bossy Homemaker

There used to be a time when we assisted you around the house, but those days are gone. Why? Permit us to demonstrate: Doing the Dishes.

  • US [Doing Dishes]: This is a man’s world…..This is a man’s world, but it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl.
  • YOU: You are doing it wrong! Don’t use that towel use this one!
  • US: Sorry. *Last time we try to help out.*

Or: Cooking.

  • US [Cooking Something Yummy and Messy]: Hang the DJx3. Hang the DJx3. Hang the DJ. Hang the DJ.
  • YOU: You are doing it wrong! Don’t use that pan! Use this one. Oh, and turn the heat down. You forgot to add…..
  • US [Thinking To Self]: Last time we do this.
  • YOU: Move!
  • US: Sure.

So, angry mothers/stay-at-home moms/homemakers, or whatever you are calling yourselves these days, that’s why you end up doing everything.

Photography and Me.

The Power of Lens: Size Does Matter…to the Public.

You cannot impress the general populace with this little lens. It matters not one iota that the lens is great in low-light situations. No, what matters to the public is the size of your lens. Well, thanks to a certain someone - you know who you are, sir - I now possess an impressive lens: 3.3″ x 7.6″ or 84.6mm x 193.6mm.

The Power of Lens: Free Pass at Local Festival.

Me, in jeans and a T-shirt armed with my breathtaking lens. Him, ticket collector at mini-train ride. Our exchange:

  • HIM: OH! OH! You can ride for free!
  • ME: ….
  • HIM: *Shuffling kids out of the way* Can’t you see that this man is a professional? Look at his camera - He obviously meant my magnificent lens.
  • ME: Thank you, but I am here to just take a few pictures. *Debating walking away to diffuse entire embarrassing scene*
  • HIM* To Little Kids: He must be from a major newspaper. He is here to photograph our festival and show it to the world.
  • ME: Ummm, is it okay if I stand here a take a few shots? God, this is really embarrassing.
  • HIM: Of course, of course! Hey, you kids! Move out of his way!
  • ME: *Snap. Snap. Snap.* Okay, thank you. Okay, I am out of here.

Poor bewildered kids.
