i carry your heart with me


i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

for what it's worth, it's never too late..


"For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit... start whenever you want... you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."
-Brad Pitt, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I thought this was an absurdly profound movie and any similarities to Forrest Gump superficial at best.

quantum of solace was excellent


daniel craig is the best 007 ever! quantum of solace was a race of a film - it's only real shortcoming is the lack of gadgets. i really wanted to see at least one cool gadget. but it is very clear that daniel craig has revitalized and reinvented bond the way christian bale did for batman.

must see!

can't wait for quantum...


I'm not an athlete, although I've always enjoyed keeping fit in between bouts of minor alcoholism.

I live out of a suitcase, which I found tremendously exciting and romantic when I was younger, and is a pain in the arse now. I don't have any order in my life except when I'm working. Then I'm meticulous; I'm disciplined as much as I can be, because otherwise I can't do it.

wanted: mcavoy & jolie


i was really excited about seeing this movie until i started watching it. in the beginning - i considered leaving because the idea of watching james mcavoy for another 2 hours was painful. but once he began his training in earnest - i couldn't take my eyes off of him.

he was a stand-out in an otherwise desperately boring 'atonement' and he more than holds his own against the stunning angelina jolie.

highly recommend.

like the numbers of a small child


"The only thing that makes me truly happy is mathematics, snow, ice, numbers. To me, the number system is like human life. First you have the natural numbers, the ones that are whole and positive, like the numbers of a small child. But human consciousness expands, and the child discovers longing.

Do you know the mathematical expression for longing?

Negative numbers. The formalization of the feeling that you're missing something. Then the child discovers the in-between spaces, between stones, between people, between numbers, and that produces fractions. But it's like a kind of madness, because it doesn't even stop there. It never stops. There are numbers that we can't even begin to comprehend. Mathematics is a vast open landscape. You head towards the horizon that is always receding... like Greenland.

And that's... that's what I can't live without."
