O che sciagura d'essere senza coglioni! (Thats not about me by the way!)
Reading reading reading! Onwards Onwards!! Along with Music music music! Onwards! A bit more specific perhaps: I enjoy Voltaire, Heaney, Sartre, Llosa, Lorca, Freud, Baudelaire, Ceasaire, Barca and Joyce. Musicwise, the loyalties are with Oasis, Interpol, Strokes, Rachmaninov, Ravel, Blur, Smiths, Beethoven. Books are brilliant. Descartes. As are languages. I study French at Spanish at uni. I like existentialist ideas along with a bit of solipsism.
A tree is a tree because it is not a bush - thats all you need to know. Buddha said "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense". Its quite inappropriate these days, but its a nice saying.
Colourless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously. Linguistics. We can all speak all languages really.
"Before reaching it we would be met on our way by the scent of his lilac-trees, come out to welcome strangers. From amid the fresh little green hearts of their foliage they raised inquisitively over the fence of the park their plumes of white or mauve blossom, which glowed, even in the shade, with the sunlight in which they had bathed." Is that not one of Proust's most beautiful descriptions.?
I like the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and more or less all of Staney Kubrick's works. |
