A little prince

There's no vocabulary for love within a family, love that's lived in but not looked at, love within the light of which all else is seen, the love within which all other love finds speech. This love is silent.

- T S Eliot

Invictus

I saw this movie a few days ago with my brother and it was pretty emotional, I really liked it. Movies are supposed to move. If you ever have a spare pair of hours I strongly recommend you watch it. Not only does the music remind of the long-loved Disney classic "The Lion King", but it has plenty of content without being overly heavy for that matter. Another very valid reason to watch it would be getting to hear Morgan Freeman interpret the poem "Invictus", this could however also be done just by searching for it on youtube. It's a very good poem, I must say. Something I might actually want to ink myself with someday...

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

- William Ernest Henley (1848-1903),

Viggo Mortensen's got a ridiculous impact on my libido.

Just randomly found a cute quote btw. I guess it's falsifiable:

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl

is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves. 

- Albert  Einstein

Mistakes.

Take chances, make mistakes. That's how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

 - Mary Tyler Moore

Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart

So, I have been pretty sceptical towards this missus ever since I heard and saw the music video of "Do It Like A Dude" which I was pretty sure was a parody of something or a joke. Bottom line being that I did not really like it. When I heard this song, mainly to please a friend who sent it to me yesterday, I felt a bit embarrassed. I mean, I didn't even feel like giving her a second chance. But she does, as my friend said, have an amazing voice, and this song feels pretty authentic, even though it might have resemblance to other pop songs of today. Enjoy!

Who You Are - Jessie J

Stonewashed shoe pulling at a rock but the rock don't compromise

Gained new respect for Kings of Leon a few days ago, when I first heard this song. There's nothing wrong with the mainstreamed songs, but this one gave me a feeling of a 70's musical epiphany. That ain't the easiest thing to produce, I'll tell ya.

Where Nobody Knows - Kings of Leon

With hands in the air you look like the girl at the fare with the bubbly eyes.
stonewashed shoe pulling at a rock but the rock don't compromise,
come up to me say why are you so skinny and pretty for a boy?,
said thanks for the insults and compliments
you'll never forget my face no more

i can't hardly reach you and i know it's getting harder to be you.
so i'll be dropping you where nobody knows,
city ought to take you,
it would take a little second to break you
so i'll be dropping you where nobody knows,
i'll be dropping you where nobody knows.

looking pretty keen sitting on a swing,
That don't mean a thing at all,
heals on my feet,
are barkin like a pack of dogs,
siccin' on a coon in a stall.

Take it for your word,
take it for a ride,
take it for the evening dead or alive,
warming up the car packing as the pilots play.

I can't hardly reach you and i know it's getting harder to be you,
so i'll be dropping you where nobody knows,
city ought to take you,
it would take a little second to break you,
so i'll be dropping you where nobody knows,
I'll be dropping you where nobody knows......... Jessica........

Head like a stone,
stoned like a rock,
cloggin' up your nose again,
Papa's a searching,
devil is a knocking,
chills runnin' up my skin,
here goes now.

It's been one year and fourteen months

I Still Ain't Over You - Augustana (Acoustic version)

Out of luck and out of tune
Half a day and I'm confused
Love may wash away the bruise
But I still ain't over you

Damn the day that I forgot
Came so close and almost lost
It's been one year and fourteen months
But I still ain't over you

Hey, I'm the blood in your veins
I'm a colding rain
Love you hard when it rains
Time, no it ain't all aside
On the truth she lies
Love your tear when you cry

Back and forth and side to side
Right ain't wrong if wrong ain't right
I will love you day and night
'Cause I still ain't over you

'Cause when the walls come crashing in
When flames come coasting in
Just remember time again
I still ain't over you

Feminin Neck Tattoos & Edgar Allan Poe

What do neck tattoos, Poe and Inception have in common?

I love actress Evan Rachel Wood's idea of a neck tattoo, it's meaningful and therefore beautiful.

  

Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,

Thus much let me avow-

You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away

In a night, or in a day,

In a vision, or in none,

Is it therefore the less gone?

'All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.'

I stand amid the roar

Of a surf-tormented shore,

And I hold within my hand

Grains of the golden sand-

How few! yet how they creep

Through my fingers to the deep,

While I weep- while I weep!

O God! can I not grasp

Them with a tighter clasp?

O God! can I not save

One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?

- Edgar Allan Poe

'Know your rights'

Angelina Jolie's tattoo is not that bad either, I wouldn't mind someday making a neck tattoo myself as well.

You always said I was an actor, baby, guess in truth you thought me just an amateur

Lesson Learned - Ray LaMontagne

Just because he's a poet and a musician and I've listened to him all day.

Well the truth it fell so heavy
Like a hammer through the room
That I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby
Guess in truth you thought me just an amateur

That you never saw the signs
That you never lost your grip
Oh, come on now
That's such a childish claim
Now I wear the brand of traitor
Don't it seem a bit absurd
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
When it's clear I was so obviously framed

Now you act so surprised
To hear what you already know
And all you really had to do was ask
I'd have told you straight away
All those lies were truth
And all that was false was fact

Now you hold me close and hard
But I was like a statue at most
Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt
Now you're clawing at my throat
And you're crying all is lost
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt

Well the truth it fell so heavy
Like a hammer through the room
That I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby
Guess in truth you thought me just an amateur

Was it you who told me once
Now looking back it seems so real
That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
So why is it now after I had my fill
That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
