the sun is shining, the people are out, like sprouts of baby springs.
When the new, injected into you
life springs out in advances like
currents heavier and faster than the niagara falls.
no, im not talking about drugs.
as a matter of fact, i might need some at the moment (drugs i mean), because my whole body is aching so badly that a single jerk might tear it apart into pieces.
no, im not kidding.
for the last 2 weeks, there have been lots of movement, kinesis, in my life.
thank partially to the fact that the weather is beginning to show a promising summer (why do i think of summer? should be enjoying the spring.), but mostly to some new acquaintances that ive made.
so i have been like partying every weekend, staying up late, going to bed long after the sun has risen. that sounds like some fulfilling life man. no, but the fact that the good company, and the good understanding and the interesting, thought-evoking conversations are what that makes it so good.
the latest book ive read (not very honest) is one by Bertolt Brecht, who used to be a favourite of a great friend of mine, Eui Seok. The book i picked to read about was a drama, entitled "Die Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagony" For those of you who dont know what it means, go learn German.
The book revises, or touches on the vicious circle of looking for meaning and reason in life (thats how i read it) but using rather simple ideas like (money, love(sex), drink and violence and the unreasonable corrupt of power. At first i thought the way he wrote the book was rather banal and understating a lot of facts, but after thinking about it, i begin to realize what he is trying to say and that is definately the level one is pushed towards to when one can't go deeper into something. Like a dead body always float on the surface. But i will have to give it a second read to come up with something more concrete. another book ive read is from Sartre. It deals about existentialism which is the favourite topic of mine at the moment, due to my lectures on Samuel Beckett.
To think that Ireland produced such great writers, it might really be nice if i do consider going to Dublin for the exchange programme, to study it's mentality and culture. But i have been warned, i think globalization has destroyed a large part of it.
And the other day, we talked about 'Aestheticism'. touching on everything to culural influences to political ones to 'value' and the collective idea behind it. But like a frog, if you dissect it, it might not look nice anymore. but it is definately a very good topic to think and talk about.
think will stop now.
