Funny

Say, did you ever mean everything you

Say, was it all just a peek of rainbow within the

Rain, I feel it thumping over my

Heart, you kept me awashed with your

Lies, but I like the way they sound.

Funny, what girls feel sometimes.

a corny teenage song

Henji wa sugu ni shicha dame da tte (I heard from someone)
Dareka ni kiita koto aru kedo (That you shouldn’t reply right away)
Kakehiki nante dekinai no (But I can’t play games)

...Suki na no yo ah ah ah ah (...I love you, ah ah ah ah)

Koi shichattan da (I’ve fallen in love)
Tabun kidzuite nai deshou? (You probably haven’t noticed, have you?)
Hoshi no yoru negai komete cherry (I make a wish in the starry night, cherry)
Yubisaki de okuru kimi e no messeeji (With my fingers, I’ll send you a message)

But I like it! Haha!

Royal wedding Today..28 April

Roslynd Hadley is enough of a royalist that she's happily hosting a garden party Friday to celebrate the much-anticipated marriage of Prince William to his college sweetheart, Kate Middleton.

But Hadley is also enough of a businesswoman to know that, though the wedding may buoy people's spirits, it's no boon to her company. Since the British government declared Friday a national holiday in honor of the event, cancellations of bookings for the day have cost her busing firm about $22,000 in lost business.

"I am all for the royal family, but when you've got 45 employees to pay and you're losing that kind of revenue, it is a lot of money," said Hadley, whose company, Prospect Coaches, is based outside Birmingham.

"We are able to sustain it," Hadley said of the financial hit, but, "I do feel sorry for the start-ups and the businesses that are still struggling."

With British flags strung up over busy streets and finishing touches being put on historic Westminster Abbey, where the ceremony will be held, this country is getting ready for its biggest royal wedding since William's father, Prince Charles, married Lady Diana Spencer 30 years ago.

Journalists and tourists from around the world have flocked to London by the thousands, breathlessly relaying to readers, viewers, and friends and family at home every scrap of wedding-related information they can lay their hands on.

Barak Obama's birth certificate

Questions regarding Obama's birth certificate have persisted for more than two years, as the president noted Wednesday at a press conference announcing the release of his long-form birth certificate. A vast array of evidence attests to Obama's citizenship--including a certificate of live birth, signed affidavits from people who viewed Obama's long-form birth certificate, confirmation by Hawaiian officials, and independent investigations by news outlets. Nevertheless, "this thing just keeps going" as Obama said this morning. Even after the White House released the long-form certificate of Obama's birth, birther leader Orly Taitz—who has filed unsuccessful lawsuits seeking to obtain access to Obama's birth certificate—sought to cast doubt on the document's authenticity, suggesting that in 1961, Hawaiian officials would have classified Obama as "Negro" rather than using designation "African," which suggests, in her view, a more contemporary concern for "political correctness."

So what's fueling the dogged questioning of Obama's origins? Many critics of the birther movement say its core tenets--and its stubborn resistance to evidence disproving those beliefs--can be traced to racial hostilities. The fundamental birtherist conviction, these critics say, is that an African-American can't have legitimately won the presidency--and that his elevation to power therefore has to be the result of an elaborate subterfuge.

"There is a real deep-seated and vicious racism at work here in terms of trying to de-legitimate the president," Peniel Joseph, a professor of history at Tufts University, told The Ticket.

"This is more than just a conspiracy," Peniel added. "I think this is fundamentally connected to white supremacism in this country."

I know you're antiseptic, Your deodorant smells nice.

"When I was 13, she had a huge impact on me because as a small, ginger-haired kid struggling with identity she was the first pop star I could identify with. Mixed race, young and wearing bonkers outfits and dental braces, her simple but powerful message was that it was OK to be different because everyone is special"

Apple to ship new iPhone in September

Apple's next-generation iPhone will have a faster processor and will begin shipping in September, three people with direct knowledge of the company's supply chain said.

The production of the new iPhone will start in July/August and the smartphone will look largely similar to the iPhone 4, one of the people said on Wednesday.

The iPhone -- introduced in 2007 with the touchscreen, on-demand application template now adopted by its rivals -- remains the gold standard in the booming smartphone market.

Reports on the timeline of the new iPhone launch vary, though it is largely expected that Apple will likely refresh its iPhone 4 later this year.

The sources declined to be identified because the plans for the new iPhone were not yet public. An Apple spokeswoman in Hong Kong was not available for comment.

The iPhone is one of Apple's most successful products, with more than 16 million sold in the last quarter of 2010 and the product accounted for more than a third of the company's sales in the quarter.

The current iPhone 4 was launched by Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs in June last year and began shipping the same month in 2010.

Apple sources many of its components from Taiwan-based suppliers, many of whom are expected to benefit from an uptick in sales as some of them rely on the U.S. company for about 20-40 percent of their business, said Vincent Chen, an analyst at Yuanta Securities.

"For some suppliers, Apple is their cash cow, or their bread and butter," Chen said.

"With all these versions being launched so frequently, it will be the so-called low-margin suppliers, such as those that assemble the phones, who will benefit the most."

Suppliers to the new iPhone include camera module maker Largan Precision Co Ltd, touchscreen panel maker Wintek Corp and case maker Foxconn Technology Co Ltd, two of the people said.

Sarkozy's special envoy in Dhaka :YUNUS ISSUE

A special envoy of French president Nicholas Sarkozy is in Dhaka to know about the issue of Grameen Bank's removed MD Muhammad Yunus.

Martin Hirsch already met foreign minister Dipu Moni on Saturday and discussed matters relating to Yunus and G-20 summit to be held in France this year, said a foreign ministry press release on Sunday.

The minister briefed the envoy that the government was not interfering in matters relating to Yunus.

The government formed an independent and neutral review committee to make a comprehensive investigation into some concerns and issues that were raised about Grameen Bank and Yunus. "The government is expecting the review committee report in a couple of days," the release said.

Dipu Moni informed the envoy that Yunus went to the Supreme Court challenging an order issued by the central bank removing him as managing director, which he held for long beyond 'legal capacity'.
He got the verdict as per law of the land, she told the French envoy.

I Sing The Body Electric

i took some screencaps from the Georgia Hudson film on i-donline.com
inspired by the poem; i sing the body electric, by Walt Whitman, here..

The expression of the face balks account,
But the expression of a well-made man appears not only in his face,
It is in his limbs and joints also, it is curiously in the joints of
his hips and wrists,
It is in his walk, the carriage of his neck, the flex of his waist
and knees, dress does not hide him,
The strong sweet quality he has strikes through the cotton and broadcloth,
To see him pass conveys as much as the best poem, perhaps more,
You linger to see his back, and the back of his neck and shoulder-side. 

Some utter bitch from work wrote some non-descript shit on Facebook in one of those disgustingly obnoxious “without mentioning any names” posts which was some obviously about me that it made me puke out all of my guts right then and there upon reading it. Vile cunt you are. That one post on Facebook made me feel two things; 1. Like I was 17 again, cripplingly shy and terrified of what people think of me. 2. Like dying. Soon (within minutes), the second option seemed so obvious and soft in my head compared to every other thought. As I went over to the cutlery for a bottle opener for my cider, it floated into my head “ok why not kill myself, then this will be over”. And that thought was so plain and simple and lovely, such a relief. It was like that Albert Camus quote, something like; “should I kill myself or pour a cup of coffee?” I then hasted to the bathroom cabinet where I found it previously thrust open and my supply of painkillers opened, I guessed that Sophia had got to it all before me.  So I went through anything else I could find and found a few Feminax, some ibuprofen, beta-blockers, and sertraline. I took most of them. And funnily enough I think I left enough anti-depressants as if to leave me enough until I saw my g.p again. Did that mean I wasn’t serious about ending my life? And really I shouldn’t be questioning myself, I should now. But what I’ve taken is starting to mix with the small bottle of cider I’ve had. I then remember that I have some strawberry vodka left from grand canaria. I end up watching twin peaks on YouTube.

//Spring Fling Thing//

c r a n k h e a r t

Telling your son a joke
He doesn't think is funny
“We’ll catch him unawares but
What if he doesn't wear underwear.”
Lighting it up
You were so cool
Her school colors
Black and light black
Giving it up
She has started
Your life’s colors
Black and light black
Getting your hair from under your bed
Breaking your fingers
Getting killed by a car
Before you can make him pay

kutipan

-dari sebuah percakapan malam yang berat

"Apakah kita gila?

Non, nous sommes ca va, 

mais beaucoup de problem 

que autres ne comprenez pas bien!"

Menatap Langit

-berawan, cerah, daun-daun yang melingkupi ruang pemikiran di atas kepala.


"Ibu, dulu aku pernah bermimpi untuk menjadi seorang 'orang besar'. Yang kata mereka mampu melakukan banyak hal. Yang selalu disebut-sebut dan dibanggakan oleh mereka.

(helaan nafas)

"Tapi kini, Ibu, saya hanya ingin menjadi orang kecil yang melakukan hal-hal besar. Yang hampir tak pernah disebut dan bahkan mungkin tak dikenal. Yang selalu sibuk mengerjakan sesuatu yang berguna meski orang lain tak mengetahuinya. Yang menyembunyikan lelah dan keluh kesahnya dan menampakkan wajah pemberi harapannya.

"Yang berbicara dengan nada santun. Yang tak pernah menyebut-nyebutkan diri mereka sendiri.Yang penghargaan tertingginya adalah kepuasan orang yang telah terbantukan olehnya, dan karenanya ia memperoleh ridho Illah-nya..."

surabaya, setelah malam yang panjang.

Percakapan pagi hari

Mahluk mengagumkan itu mendarat di hadapan saya dengan gemulai.
Saya terdiam, tidak tahu apa yang harus saya katakan.

”Jadi,” ujarnya memulai.
”Jadi, apa?” tanya saya.

Keningnya berkerut.
”Sudahkah kamu terima pesan saya?”

Saya diam. Mengangguk saja. Itu sudah cukup baginya.

”Lalu?” tanyanya lagi.

Saya tidak perlu mengulang lagi. Saya sudah tahu apa arti pertanyaan itu.

”Lalu, saya masih belum tahu apakah saya berani melakukannya,” saya berbisik.

Mahluk itu tiba-tiba berdiri, menyibakkan bulu-bulu sayap di punggungnya. ”Nonsense!”* sanggahnya.

Mahluk itu sudah tegap sekarang, mengagumkan dan sedikit mengerikan.

Wahai mahluk cerdas, tataplah mataku. Aku tidak akan pernah menjadi sepertimu.

Surabaya. Di tengah banjir dan hujan, kaulah yang terdengar....

*untuk tidak mengatakan bullsh*t.

you'll be so happy that you didn't later on in life
