what luck
so much to study for.
i m so dead. like dead dead!
like dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead. thanks.
such are NOT the minds of our youths. they expect direct joy and direct excitment and have not introduction to the theory called, waiting.
though this wont be my main interest.
i'm actually highly interested in the psyche of criminals. especially Young criminals and how they became who they are. peer pressure? parental stress? i doubt so. i think it is much more intrinsic. something much more personal and at a micro level. i think some of these criminals WANT to commit crime. because they cant stand waiting, waiting to get comething out of an event. they want immediate joy, immediate rush of blood in to their heads and to achieve a state of joy.
so what can we do to help.
train our kids from a young age that instaneous gratification isnt common. that we have to wait, wait and wait for things good to happen. it isnt all in a flesh, it takes time to accumulate the work processes that eventually lead to an outburst of joy. teach them to wait. teach them to prove themselves and earn their statuses.
Dont pick up toys for them. that is instaneous and without any work on their part. Make them pick the toys uo. Make them face the wall for bad things that they've done. and No, not for 2 seconds, for 2 minutes, dont give them any attention. they will only get instant attention, if they DESERVE it.
And this clearly shows the connection between psychology and education. but due to the structure of the Scholarship i want, i need to take a second subject, a teach-able major.
so, i have to take a double in psychology and chemistry(with specialisation in organic chemistry) or a double degree in psychology and biology (with specialisation in general biology).
i really want to teach,
so i really hope they higher bosses will give it to me.
this is getting on my nerves.
someone give me the scholarship already!
Tonight the moon called out to me.
i responsed.
i asked her, when will i see the truth, and where can i find strength.
she said nothing.
I've just spoken to the moon,
she is charming.
I've just spoken to the moon,
she's still.
Still, still.
I asked her another,
will i ever find inner peace?
she said nothing.
the moon smiled at me
i thought the moon smiled at me
i smiled back
she didnt smile at me
or so i thought.
even so, joy spreads so easily.
then it started to rain
no it wasnt blood.
not water though.
moon dust
star dust
no,
just dust
normal, still dust.
not so still.
she was crying, though i couldnt see
dry tears
no, thats not right
dried tears.
died tears
thats not right
died years
many years.
ago.
how temporal.
how rapid we change
a smile to a sob.
how rapidly we transform
from light
in to the hidden.
so fast we retreat.
so hast we run.
lets stop running.
the moon spoke to me today.
i was overjoyed when she started.
but it ended my day with darkness
as with moonlight, comes the darkness that makes it bright
a giving nature, a compromise.
but with the darkness
comes another yoke of joy
that of the sun.
oh, the golden yoke,
oh may it shine upon my desires.
or rather not,
for the moon will rise again.
up high.

i studied for about 2 and a half hours and i did only 15 pages.. well considering it is biology and that i aint in too good a mood, i would give myself a pass.... and i will get an A for my test..
Saw some blogs, and the pictures that came with it. well, in my sec sch's council, there's a tradition where the presidents and the coordinators will 'swap pants' after investiture. the guy would wear the skirt and the lady, the pants. well my partner and i never did it. we had this debrief that lasted forever. Well at that point of time, it was really emotional. out last meeting with them. and i mean last last. ahha. Well talking about them, saw siti walking towards the library just now. though i was on the bus.

je suis trop gros. je le sais. je dois manger moins, ou au moins, manger en bonne santé. d'autres peuvent penser je le gras aint mais je sais mieux. ils la coutume comprennent.

It wont stop will it...
there are so many things that i cant say, not to anyone.not even you.
so much feelings i cant emote. if i do, it might all change.
and no one's going to find out.
so it wouldnt change.
===================================================================
i must say it is really tough trying to study again. really hard to get back in gear... it is really hard to focus when there are once again so many things on my mind. and being lazy doesnt help
i hope you get well soon.
so, after our A lvls, some of US suffer the decline in academic fitness while some OTHERS fly off. well.. hmmmm. a little unjust?
And i cant stop thinking about friday's performance. but at the same time i dont want to think about it. i know that friday might just be my last time dancing, ever... but, i dont want to stop.
watched 'rookie' just now. tis the same. he loves baseball but external sitautions points the other way.. i would really like to dance, for as long as i can. but i need to find something stable. so i wont stave to death. seriously...

Two Rooms by Lee Blessing
Michael is beind held prisoner by terrorists. He is blindfolded and wearing handcuffs. He is writting letters that wont get sent out, and he knows it.
MICHAEL:
One night someone came to move me. It was no one I knew - none of my guards. I was blindfolded, but I could tell by his voice. He spoke English better than any of them. He said I had to be moved at once - that the Syrian Army might have learned where I was. He was nervous, but there was a softness in his voice, too. I think he was young.
Some clothes were thrown on me and I was hustled into the back seat of a car by three men. All the voices were new. It was actually a cool night. The feeling of being outside was incredible. I listened for anything - any sound, any voice - over the noise of the car. Not because I was planning to escape. Just for the sheer, sensual pleasure of it. A sound, at random. A voice. Anything that was completely disconnected from being a hostage. That just... existed in the world. And I thought for some reason about all the things that always exist in the world simultaneously - with or without us. Innumerable parts of a system designed to not even recognize itself as a system. Dogs barking in the streets, wind in the shop awnings, people talking on corners, flowers letting go their fragrance, people riding bicycles, pigeons mourning nobody we know, people driving in cars, people buying oranges, distant explosions, people carrying guns, people dying of poison gas, oceans rocking on their stems, people making love for the first time in their lives, people designing clothes-hangers, people designing the end of the world, people in movie theatres, people singing in languages we don't understand, insects filling the world - filling the world - people in restaurants ordering the best meal of their lives, people using the phone, petting their cats, holding each other.
All of it, at once.
They drove me to a quiet neighborhood and shoved me into a building. I was taken down, still blindfolded, to a small, cramped room that smelled like... clay, and I was shot to death.
It's not fun to be in a wartorn town. it's not fun to be, hanging on a string. the worst feeling is that of losing control, control of the situation, control of oneself.
and sometimes, thats what life does. it makes us lose control. it numbs all, so numb that nothing matters anylonger. so numb that living becomes a routine. think about it, i think everyday is supposed to be a new start. one filled with intrigues and exciting learning. one filled with expectations and deliverances. but no. we're numb, so numb that we cant feel nothing no more. no ice, not the pick of a needle. not even fire.
no warmth
no warmth
no warmth
no warmth
no war.
sometimes it pains me when i see some people move the way that do, and that i may never reach that kind of mastery over my body. i do think that someone who can move and move with conviction and concentrated will is one that deserves respect. i understand that dance is painful, that when we are designing a dance, there are small daily deaths, because the body is so tired, tired of trying to express things by moving and not words. tired because it takes so much raw energy to dance to express and to liberate.
As this chapter comes to a close, i know i will miss my times on stage. and the realisation that pains me the most is that i may never get to move the way i want to again. because i may never get the chance to..Not to say that my time in the AT company allowed me to move the way i want, that would be a lie; but the times i spent with myself in the studio designing my dance really made me fall in love with it. Countless hours. i m quite sure no one spent as much time in the studio as i did... because i refused to design a dance that is not.. meaningful. i refused and i still am against dance for dance. i think dance is for teaching, for empowerment and innovation. i believe that every contraction is an outburst of energy that spreads rapidly outwards and inpact everyone around. i believe that whenever i dance, i give a part of me away. and a dancer retires when all of him.her has been given away. that is when the inner landscape of that dancer is so well crafted, he/she will surely fly in dreams.
i believe that dance is powerful
and i believe i may never dance again.
And i believe i will never fly in my dreams because i will never see my inner landscape.
oh gosh, someone save me now. like... make dance profitable and i wil persue it...
Not going to happen.

WHY CANT I PUT PICTURES.
Seriously.

HE WHO GETS SLAPPED
A monologue from the play by Leonid Andreyev
MANCINI: You should see her. Little temptress. Black hair. Eyes as dark as night. And her smile! So ... bewitching! Like the devil's bride! Like Eve, holding the apple! Her eyes sparkling! Just daring you! Laughing! Begging you to take a bite! Promising untold pleasures if you just have the courage to grasp it-to take her in your arms! How can a man be expected to resist such temptation?! [Pause.] You're the only one who understands me, HE. Why don't I like things which aren't forbidden? Why should I always, even at the moment of ecstasy, be reminded of some stupid law?! This passion, I'm telling you, it'll turn my hair gray and lead me to the grave-or prison. [Pause.] Is it really my fault if she's a few years younger than the law allows? I mean, how was I to know? Eh? Besides, it's only our society, you know, that makes it such a crime. In the old days, it was quite normal. It was expected. Everybody did it. Mary and Joseph even. She was only thirteen, you know. Nobody judges them. And you can't tell me she didn't know exactly what she was doing! This girl-not the virgin mother. I didn't teach her anything, if you know what I mean. But her parents don't see it that way. And they know they've got me by the throat. [Pause.] I can't go to jail, HE. I wouldn't last a month. I'm an intellectual-a man of refinement. The jails in this country ... they don't discriminate between men of my kind and real criminals. They'd eat me alive.
Yes, they'll eat me alive....
