Eyes
I
eye nose oui no’s
everybody knows:
i love you
if you laugh and smile and happiness tames your lips
when your i’s meet my i’s
*intime*
an’ teem with yes
II
a void: the blank space;
the blue place
in between places:
in between faces.
impressions:
sometimes, when the road is hit with rain and leaves, and saws are buzzing, leaving everything covered in their dust, the mush creates a feeling; a taste: oatmeal.
sometimes, when your head droops but the station knows, and it helps you, disturbing the calm, the filth creates a feeling; a smell: cheap coffee.
sometimes, when 20 people talk to you at once, all monday grumpy it’s cold at work and everyone’s cold and unhappy whining, the throng creates a feeling; a sound: alarm.
sometimes, when the station rushes by the subway car the people warping past and materialising, coming to a halt, the whizz creates a feeling; a vision: birth. sometimes, when you’re standing next to a girl, and she’s standing next to you, holding onto the same thing, the pole, and you see her back reflected in the window, and her head’s pointed right behind you, and motion becomes absurdity, and there might be a strange connection, a feeling: yes.

coming up
with feelings
hard, dense, slow
unnatural unkind unpleasant
once more
with feeling
-s plus expressing them
difficult defective or derivative
being down
with feelings
forced mimetic academically
aloof flaky laughter
with feelings,
coming up with words
means manufacturing once more
a drab tableau of being down
humbletumble
there’s these little giggles of ripples of motion emotion, simple dimples of sky blue with sunset pink slowly setting letting the grapefruit glow flow in smiling streams whenever she talks to me.
there’s this feeling of reeling cruising losing myself and though clever i’m never at rest just rolling backward awkward like a kite caught in a draught and laughed at for noticing only her.
i don’t mind, i’ll take the jeers with the cheers.

Sónar 2010 – Barcelona, Spain
The festival attracts a lot of outsiders, but the Mediterranean, Spanish and more specifically Catalan nature of the people makes the festival what it is. Catalan people are passionate and this passion is infectious. The atmosphere is electric in Barcelona as a city and heightened by music and intoxicants at Sónar.

Summer Party Naval Styles at Seven RestoLounge
Oysters, like wine are affected by terroir and these Miyagi’s flavor profiles ranged with one showing a cleaner, almost tropical profile and the other being more salty, marine driven. As I was devouring the seemingly endless plates put in front of us, I sipped on a glass of fine sauvignon blanc.

Predictions 2010.. and beyond!
So 2010 eh? Almost but not quite (no year zero they say) another decade? It seems like just yesterday that the world was waiting for Y2K. R4NT started publishing in March 2001, so we’re not quite 10 years old yet, but in internet years we are already a senior citizen.

Invictus
No matter what, the reality of Nelson Mandela is something that deserves screen time. Should this film even remotely intrigue the masses to take interest in this figure, the world would likely benefit greatly from it.
