time

                                                                                                                                                                 ( imagine a bank, which gives you 86.400$ every morning and takes the money you didn't use back in the evening. What would you do with the money? Spend it all, of course! Actually, we all have such a bank. It's called time. Every morning you get 86.400 seconds, which you can use as you want. But there is no possibility to get a loan or to save time for the future.. )

inability

television

( yesterday evening i was staring at the ceiling of my room while the tv was on. this is what i saw..
i'm afraid you have to watch it in fullscreen mode, otherwise you won't recognize anything )

( this version is a bit brighter, you can see the light better, but the quality sucks somehow.. )

façades

( "a  façade  is generally one side of the exterior of a building, especially the front, but also sometimes the sides and rear. the word comes from the french language, literally meaning "frontage" or "face". in architecture, the façade of a building is often the most important from a design standpoint, as it sets the tone for the rest of the building. many façades are historic, and local zoning regulations or other laws greatly restrict or even forbid their alteration." )

billie holiday - strange fruit

         

southern trees bear a strange fruit,

blood on the leaves and blood at the root,

black body swinging in the southern breeze,

strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

pastoral scene of the gallant south,

the bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,

scent of magnolia sweet and fresh,

and the sudden smell of burning flesh.

here is a fruit for the crows to pluck,

for the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,

for the sun to rot, for a tree to drop,

here is a strange and bitter crop.

( poem written by abel meeropol )

sticker

about colors

( this is a text about the color shades of oil-based paint my grandma wrote back in.. i don't even know..

..however she gave it to me last sunday as she wants to encourage me to paint.. ..it's written in polish, but besides that it's nothing special, i just really like documents written on a typewriter and the yellowish paper, which makes it seem older than it really is.. )

elephant

( a picture i found hanging on the wall at my school. no idea who draw it. )

roger waters - the wall

( yesterday i was on roger waters concert of the wall in the sap arena in mannheim. "the wall" tells the story of the rockstar pink, who remembers his horrible childhood and isolates himself from the rest of the world, building up a wall around him. at the end pink stands in front of an imaginary court -see below: the trial- with his mother, teacher and his disloyal ex wife testifying. Eventually he is being sentenced to tear down the wall as a punishment. it was an awesome event, i don't even really know how to define it. was it a concert? a show? a "rock opera"? ..well, who cares! it was loaded with tons of special effects, flying bombers, huge marionettes, a flying pig and of course the wall being built up all across the stage. all in all - no, not just another brick in the wall- all in all, it was a great evening!)
