I am looking at this dog of mine and trying to remember how many times in the past two months I caught myself explaining to others her puppy-readiness to explore. Jumping on complete strangers, begging for affection, drinking from the puddle, chasing garbage on the ground, playing with the dogs that ignore her, running tail-between-’hind-legs from the dogs chasing her to play, and generally chewing her way through her our early life (I hope!). And I have been using a Romanian common saying, “not everything that’s flying can be eaten too”…
And this morning I was reading a comment on a friend’s blog, that prompts me thinking about translations, among other things, and I have decided in a flash I’d oversimplify this saying gladly to illustrate, again, me. Not everything is flying.
I have been recommended Sedatif PC by Lab Boiron. By a pharmacist I have never met, following a brief exchange of messages after another long pause in an otherwise platonic and lengthy online “relationship” (”conversation”?). I don’t know if I should be amused, amazed or outraged.
I might as well be in denial, but I am not medicating over the counter. That is if I have a choice.
Of, the tricks of unsolicited advice!
I don’t like clowns.
Sometimes there’s such a big gap between appearance and fact. Like yesterday. I feel like a clown and there is a thick layer of make-up that separates my deed deep sadness from the joy of the outside world to such extent that I even manage to make other people’s day with something I say.
I’m illegible, very much inadequate, like a nowadays armchair on an archeological site.
DM’s Peace was written for me. More precisely for me at this point in time. There is just hope, not certainty, in this definitive “will come to me”. Hope I have. There are no guarantees in life, there will always be a little bugger of some kind to f*ck it all up for you and make you f*ck off, let’s face it. But it is important to stand up and against following each blow. Read and listen. I would like to dedicate this to my dearest friend in her time of need: leave anger in the past with all the shadows that it cast, there is no space for the regrets you must remember to forget.
Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me
I’m leaving bitterness
Behind this time
I’m cleaning up my mind
There is no space
For the regrets
I will remember to forget
Just look at me
I am walking love incarnate
Look at the frequencies
At which I vibrate
I’m going to light up the world
Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me
I’m leaving anger in the past
With all the shadows
That it cast
There is radar in my heart
I should have trusted
From the start
Just look at me
I am a living act of holiness
Giving all the positivity
That I possess
I’m going to light up the world
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It’s meant to be
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It’s an inevitability
Coming back to Buch we saw a bunch of piglets on the side of the road somewhere near Horezu. He, of course, has immediately declared we should stop and get them. As pets. And it’s now recurrently surfacing every now and then, to our mutual amusement: “Baby, go back. I want my piggy!”
Other then that, I am in limbo in so many ways it’s hard to count. Yeap, for the moment I can only count on credit. Being a hobo sucks!
What made my day: getting out of the house, taking the metro, getting the money, paying a debt, buying lunch as a birthday present, not just agreeing to my request but actually extending help, assistance in shaving my head. Basically, about my friends.
What made my misfortunes, lately? Like suffocating in my sleep? Or stopping the car trunk in the later mark on my back? The food poisoning? The depression? Spending the weekend on my own? The diet? The heavy debt? The need for change.
The equivalent in movies is: Chicago, American Splendor, Rome - season 1, 16 Blocks (with Bruce Willis), Shrek (all three), Lock Stock and Two Smocking Barrells (brilliant, of course!), I have seen again Mulholland Drive (and again I have not understood a thing, I wonder how come Lynch has had his Hollywood success), Monty Python.
