I have been busy “revising” for exams lately but I had to stop for a moment and capture something the other day I shamefully could not resist taking a picture of these perfectly formed clouds which i just could to sleep on
I don’t know why i have an obsession of taking film noir style shots of cups of coffees but its simplicity easily hides elements in the previous picture (look closely) The picture in some sense captures my mood or thought process at the time. Or perhaps it serves just a way for me to act out boring café moments. I stared at that cup and the surrounding for no less than 3 hours on and off.

I wanted to reblog this from: http://vincemick.tumblr.com/post/396815871/rip-sanity-cicconeyouthh-via but the reblog tabs kept vanishing!
She looks half dead but there is some expression of “love” there, or is it just an experiment gone wrong? Perhaps both…

retrodoll: Diana Dors (via retrospace)
Never seen a one of her movies, but after seeing a few pictures i think i should! Although Monroe is timeless Dors has a more endearing look, would you agree? Perhaps i should really see one of her movies, to see how she truly comes across. However, what i found on wikipedia is more interesthing:
“Before she died, Dors apparently hid away what she claimed to be over £2million in banks across Europe. Eighteen months before her death, she gave her son Mark Dawson a sheet of paper, which she told him was a code that would reveal the whereabouts of the money.”

I walked home yesterday in a good mood, a spiritual high. I said I wouldn’t indulge in the dark void part of my life, yet I wasn’t able to control my dark desires. They engulf me and then after the relief came the familiar feeling of regret. Its paradoxical I know the fact it will come after the release yet I go down this road again and again. I’m sure I’m not alone, I know I am an addict I have come to realised that now.
I have come to realise that controlling yourself is the most basic principle of what makes us who we are. It gives us some integrity thus breaking a promise that you have made to yourself is the ultimate betrayal against ones self.
I like Dexter because he struggles with the same feelings albeit on psychotic levels but the general principles is the same, being engulfed in your own sickness unable to escape.
I know my first text entry was rather heavy handed but it was something that was on my mind since yesterday so I just had to express myself. Don’t be afraid this is not a political blog but a blog about the mystery of “dystopian coffee”.
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.” - Arthur Ashe

This picture comically links to a story only published a few days ago concerning Shahar Peer, an Israeli tennis player who was denied a visa to compete in the Sony Ericsson World Tennis Association Tour in Dubai. Can you really blame them? After this murder case of a Palestinian “militant” in Dubai hotel you could argue that they were being vigilant (somehow foreseeing the consequences of allowing tennis players who pose as Mossad operatives to enter). This flawed line of reasoning is used by Israelis in their contraction of the ”Wall of terror” as I call it. Banning Palestinians from entering Israel makes it a “safer” country. I forgot that Palestinians are guilty until proven otherwise, while Israelis are innocent tennis stars as this picture “proves”.
On a more serious note the fact that the UAE has no diplomatic links with Israel, the verdict was hardly surprising. I am not saying that to deny a visa to a “sports star” is the way to go but the fact that there was “widespread condemnation” and possible action against Dubai to be removed from the women’s 2010 calendar is but just another example of the asymmetric love of Israel over all others. Ultimately the probability of Israel, facing even a miniscule punishment if found guilty will be unnoticeably brushed under the carpet of hypocrisy.
What I find truly laughable is that Avigdor Lieberman, has refused to issue any formal denial in line with a “policy of ambiguity” on security matters. Perhaps Hamas should deny all that it does too and it will be found “innocent of the crimes”. Except it doesn’t work that way; the ball is always in favour of the Israelis. The linesmen will keep on observing, never daring to stand up to that all inspiring rule breaking gallant player.
