naomi wolf

listening to naomi wolf give a speech at the county library. She talks about freedom, patriotism and the bush administration. She almost told people to vote for Obama. Now wait a minute. Isn’t this an infringement of my voting freedom? Brain washing. People are actually laughing and smiling.

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.

Margaret Thatcher

The last thing I am is a Thatcherite, but this quote was quite pertinent today to an office conversation about “coolness”.

I’ve been to this area. It’s quiet and haunting. Very powerful picture btw.

Forestry workers look on as a male Royal Bengal Tiger leaps off a boat into the water after being released back into the wild in The Chamta Forest District of The Sunderbans, in India, on September 4, 2008. The tiger was declared fit for release by veterinarians after it was recently rescued from a nearby village. (via Scenes from India - The Big Picture - via stumblng)
You ever look a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background?. It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other peoples life have we been in. Were we a part of someone’s life when their dream came true or were we there when their dream died. Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were somehow destined to be there or did the shot take us by surprise. Just think, you could be a big part of someone elses life, and not even know it.

This is probably why pictures with a lot of background are some of the best: you get to see the actions of so many people at the same time.

If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

We need to try and remember this in our daily life.  The barista is a human being.   The cyclist is a human being.  The guy asking for change is a human being.  And you too, are a human being.  Treat them all as such.

Such a humanitarian thought.

the power adaptor of my laptop sucks. So the battery keeps dying. Hence I’m typing this post using my phone and it’s gonna be short. I went to a coffee house today and sat with him… Watching the traffic. It was a wonderful feeling. I don’t remember the last time we did this. There was this guy sitting near us who was talking loudly over the phone. Seems like he was selling some kind an educational product. Who works on a Sunday night? As if the thought of going for work on Monday is not bad enough :) my typing speed on iPhone seems to have improved! Yay !

You might not see too many original posts here…mostly reblogs. Blame my laptop! I can’t type much using my iPhone. Especially those short comments following reblogs, even though I want to say something.

Haha. Reminds me of Leo Di Caprio in The Aviator. Just watched it again a couple of weeks back.

“Papers over” hahaha

I have always believed that sexual orientation is fluid. No one is strictly heterosexual or homosexual. Fantasies, personal experiences, and curiosities often waver between gay and straight. And this doesn’t mean that you have to act on these desires, either. (For example, there are plenty of women who are aroused by watching lesbian porn but may not have a desire to be physically intimate with another woman.) Both men and women can be attracted to a spectrum of people and experiences throughout their lives. And if that weren’t complicated enough, just because someone engages in sex with someone of their gender doesn’t mean that he or she is gay, lesbian, or even bisexual. Sexual orientation is about attraction, not behavior. Is it all that surprising that many people are curious? And really, a kiss is just a kiss. It is hardly a gateway to oral sex. And labels are just old news anyway.

I completely agree! finally an article that makes some sense. Whenever I tell people that none of us is completely heterosexual…they stare at me like I’m mad.

books may well be the only true magic
