goodbye my lover...

there's something very odd about dude's voice but it fits his music so well.

love this song. today's a James Blunt day...listening to albums on repeat. Stepping away from rap music for a couple of days - if i can help it (eeh, it's great study music...even with all the incorrectness and cursing and what not).

i still need to figure out how to post music tracks without using youtube. ideas anyone?

...and so the week ends/ another begins

Happy "Love Day"

Since feeling is first...

I know i said i wasn't going to get sucked into the mushiness of the week...but I can't help it. There's so much lovey-dovey stuff popping up around me. I'll go back to being stone cold next week (or month). Bite me!

Here's one of my favorite poems by ee cummings:

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

but...but...

in the theme of "love week" eh?

I was at Barnes & Noble today...and I saw Valentine's Scrabble. Are you freaking kidding me?!? They'll come up with almost anything these days!

Just because...

It's nice to pretend that I'm multilingual every once in a while... saying words I don't really understand in other languages...just 'cause! Today, I decided to look up "I love you" in other languages. Here are the ones i think sound sweet:

Hausa: Ina sonki
Albanian: Te dua
Spanish: Te amo
Italian: Ti amo
Portuguese: Eu te amo
Tagalog: Mahal kita
Persian: Tora dost daram
Kiswahili: Nakupenda
French: Je t'aime

I think they all roll off the tongue rather nicely...even if you don't have the accent full down...

Now, there are some languages that "I love you" sounds/reads rather harshly... for example:

Hungarian: Szeretlek te'ged
German: Ich liebe Dich
Bavarian: I mog di narrisch gern
Welsh: 'Rwy'n dy garu di

Ouuuch!

Don't mind me though.... I guess when you're hearing those words from the right person, they sound great however it is that they're said. But, if you're saying those words and you're not quiiiite sure just yet about the other person, stick to English or one of the kinder languages!

xoxo ;)
