Reversed Egg

What if our world is a reversed egg,
And we don’t come out of it,
We just go back and pretend
To love everything about it.
What if our ups are downs and somewhere in between,
Our roads are heavy, our skies unseen,
And what if our words are swallowed,
Instead of being spitted out?
Our bodies hollow
And full of doubt?

Trust is like a mirror…

Trust is like a mirror, she said.
E ciudat cum, dupa un an in care nu m-am gandit deloc la asta (am un articol in draft), ma loveste gandul fix in seara asta.
Lumea mea un amalgam de chestii si oameni, ganduri si emotii, cadouri si bucurii, multe meritate, sau nemeritate. Nu m-am hotarat inca.
Trust is like a mirror, she said.
Am spart-o sau nu, e doar crapata si atat? Nici nu stiu stadiul in care e.
Si daca l-as sti, cu ce m-ar ajuta?
Adica, din tot ce-am fost si-am devenit, nu sunt nimic si sunt doar crapaturi?
Ma sufla vantul in ceafa. Ma indreapta spee directii necunoscute, de care mi-e frica.
Oare ce cale sa aleg? E ca si cum cuvintele nu au directie si sentimentele nu au sens.
Oare asa a fost dintotdeauna?

Bad Boys

I am a sucker for bad boys, every girl is, in a certain way. Mine is that I like my bad boys in films and books, but only if they have a softer side.

I am amazed how many people consider Merle from The Walking Dead awesome, when he looks and sounds just like that drunken uncle that did stuff to you when you were 7.

I am in awe how many people used to like Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, even more than they liked Angel, the original vampire with a soul.

I am surprised to see people liking Eric and Pam from True Blood, as well as the numbers of people who like Hank Moody (men and women alike) from Californication and House from House, MD.

I just look at The Walking Dead, when Rick the Sherrif starts to act all crazy badass and people seem to love him more and more.

The Walking Dead had its share of crazy dudes and also dudettes, but while the women were bashed constantly, Shane and Daryl and Merle were always on top.

As I said, I like my share of rude boys, but please, show some soul, guys. I could never like the Governor, he’s batshit crazy. Merle looks like a recovering alcoholic. Hank Moody is a waste of time.

Jax from Sons of Anarchy could be a good thing. Spike was funny before and after receiving a soul. Vex, from Lost Girl, is funny as hell, though only recurring.

Don’t give me that crap with Bill from True Blood, or Sam. Give us Eric or Alcide, they are worth the trouble. Give us Damon or Klaus, but give us something!

After all, not all bad guys are Agent Smith.

Carti si citit

E Valentine’s Day, stiu, o sarbatorim sau o uram, fiecare cu ce-i place. Dar, daaaaaaaaaaaaaaar…

As usual, ma dau pe net si citesc despre filme si carti si alte chestiuni culturale. Si eram cat pe ce, dar cat pe ce! Sa incep o noua carte.

Nu pun la socoteala faptul ca profilul meu de Goodreads arata ca momentan citesc 8 carti. Mai am vreo 2 incepute pe langa astea, dar am ramas la primele pagini, pentru ca mi s-a stricat Kindle-ul. More on that, later.

Tocmai ma gandeam sa ma apuc de citit Animal Farm, pentru ca George Orwell merita citit in orice forma si, daca tot am facut efortul de a citit 1984 de peste 10 ori, as putea sa continui si cu alte romane.

Dar brusc am realizat ca n-ar fi o idee buna. Gaseam un site online unde pot citi cartea sau o luam de undeva, nu asta e problema mare. Problema mare e ca accesul facil la orice forma de literatura (ieri, spre exemplu, am citit o tona de epigrame, just because), ma face sa ma comport ca un copil cu ADHD.

I don’t commit to books like I used to. Sau nu, de fapt. I was committed to The Hobbit. Pana am inceput Damnation Alley. Bineinteles, am inceput si Cinder, cateva randuri doar, dar oricum… Si mai am o carte de pe Kindle inceputa (si nici macar nu-s in stare sa imi amintesc care anume), si seria The Walking Dead si am inceput si Buffy – Season 8 pe iPad.

My Assholes didn’t Finish First. My Hunger Games are still hungry. Shadow of Night e sortita nefinalizarii, spre linistea mea eterna. La Priest sunt mai departe de volumul 4 de foarte mult timp. Cyberpunk e si el in curs de injumatatire a volumului de munca. Doar Kafka on the Shore a ramas lectura constanta in ultimele 3 zile.

Faptul ca am asa usor acces la carti si dispozitive pe care sa le citesc ma face sa ma intreb daca o sa mai simt vreodata chestia aia cu „abia astept sa ajung acasa sa termin cartea”. Pentru ca acum citesc in pauza, de pe un site sau altul, pe drum citesc de pe telefon, acasa de pe iPad si Kindle.

Si cand ma gandesc ca acum vreo 2 saptamani ma gandeam sa recitesc Shogun si Pasarea-Spin…

De n-ar mai fi…

De n-ar mai fi dorinte si placeri,
As sti de azi pe ieri
Si cum era alaltaieri,
Si cum sa spun „nu” la tot ce-mi ceri.

De n-ar mai fi pantofi si ghete,
N-as merge in sosete
Si vantul nu s-ar impleti in plete
Rasfirate de fete bete.

Daca n-ar mai fi mancare, bautura,
Jur c-as privi cu-atata ura
Tot ce se-aduna in batatura
Si se transforma-n vin si prescura.
