Wow, cool! All these photos are very nice. I want to be a model for the bride and my beloved man to be a model of the groom. My next desire is to be a real bride. Gee, if only marriage is as easy as taking the picture. Hand in hand. Smiled at each other. Walking on the sand. Looked at the colorful flowers. Wearing a wedding dress. Dead leaves on the grass. Carefree clouds. Choir of the old church. Hugging a teddy bear on a warm evening. Send invitations in italics on purple paper. (Do not write in purple ink on purple paper, stupid!)

Kiss on the cheek. Soft whisper in the ear of a loved one. (Not to be heard, but it seems about the optimism to be able to orgasm in sex activity)

An umbrella for both. Oh. Oh.Oh. ((Why Oh Oh Oh, Cisca? Need an umbrella for a foursome? You, you, you and your baby, maybe? Ehehehe...

Dahling, is marriage easy to run forever?

Stop your stupid question, Cisca! Do not agree to any marriage just because you-are-driven-by-a-feeling-of-tired-because-you-have-been-standing-too-long-and-now you-want-to-sit-down. Shh, listen, we're not at the airport to travel around the world or having the pleasure of seeing a lot of new people along our journey, understand?

Shut up! I do not ask you, idiot. I am asking my partner.

► Getting through the day will be a bit of a battle -- not because you're fighting with anyone, though. You just won't want to be there. You'd much prefer to be home, either alone or with the one person on the planet you feel comfortable enough to be completely silent with. It's not that you're tired -- you're just drained. You've been burning the candle at both ends lately. It's okay. Even you need to rest every now and then. You need to take part in something new and cool -- and your energy ensures that you either choose or stumble upon the perfect activity! Share it with friends or keep it to yourself.

I wonder, how can it be, one can perform by putting his face to make it look convincing in front of the camera -- so that people believe in what he says -- for an event that he himself has never seen it with his own eyes?

Whereas, what is conveyed by him is not a supernatural event, such as an incident when the Prophet received a revelation from God, for example? But this is just about how to say back to the public as what was found by the U.S. intelligence in the field. Well, the intelligence that might never find the real facts but they should still report to their boss, although it can be, the reported facts are all wrong and this honorable gentleman looks confidently to convey all the wrong facts, henceforth they will process the data and make a decision wrong on the basis of mistake. And he is hoping, we here see the ridiculousness of it all with a sense of awe? Yeah? Tell me how? Tell me how to trust this clown so that he will look really funny? At least he can make me smile, even just a little and for a while, maybe?

The world has come to recognize their use as a flagrant violation of international law. As the US once again beats the drums of war towards Syria, we ask how justified such an intervention is, given the conflicting evidence and the widespread opposition to it. Will a strike help stop the war, or will it drag the whole region into a more brutal and protracted conflict? To wrestle over these issues, Oksana is joined by Kenneth Roth, the Executive Director of Human Rights Watch.

Obama says the Syrian regime must be punished for an alleged chemical attack on civilians last month. But he has a long way to go to convince legislators at home, and would-be allies abroad. So who is on what side and for what reasons? Will President Obama be able to convince his allies, the US Congress and the US public to support a strike on Syria? Inside Syria is joined by guests: Richard Murphy, a former US ambassador to Syria and Saudi Arabia; Saleh Mubarak from the Syrian National Council; and Vyacheslav Matuzov, a former Russian diplomat and currently the chairman of the Russian Friendship Society with Arab Countries.

A POEM TODAY




Voyons, d'où vient le verbe? Et d'où viennent les langues ?
De qui tiens-tu les mots dont tu fais tes harangues ?
Écriture, Alphabet, d’où tout cela vient-il ?
Réponds.

Platon voit l'I sortir de l'air subtil ;
Messène emprunte l'M aux boucliers du Mède ;
La grue offre en volant l'Y à Palamède ;
Entre les dents du chien Perse voit grincer l'R ;
Le Z à Prométhée apparaît dans l'éclair ;
L'O, c'est l'éternité, serpent qui mord sa queue ;
L'S et l'F et le G sont dans la voûte bleue,
Des nuages confus gestes aériens ;
Querelle à ce sujet chez les grammairiens :
Le D, c'est le triangle où Dieu pour Job se lève ;
Le T, croix sombre, effare Ézéchiel en rêve ;
Soit ; crois-tu le problème éclairci maintenant?
Triptolème, a-t-il fait tomber, en moissonnant,
Les mots avec les blés au tranchant de sa serpe?
Le grec est-il éclos sur les lèvres d'Euterpe?
L'hébreu vient-il d'Adam ? le celte d'Irmensul?
Dispute, si tu veux ! Le certain, c'est que nul
Ne connaît le maçon qui posa sur le vide,
Dans la direction de l'idéal splendide,
Les lettres de l'antique alphabet, ces degrés
Par où l'esprit humain monte aux sommets sacrés,
Ces vingt-cinq marches d'or de l'escalier Pensée.

Eh bien, juge à présent. Pauvre argile insensée,
Homme, ombre, tu n'as point ton explication ;
L'homme pour l'oeil humain n'est qu'une vision ;
Quand tu veux remonter de ta langue à ton âme,
Savoir comment ce bruit se lie à cette gamme,
Néant. Ton propre fil en toi-même est rompu.
En toi, dans ton cerveau, tu n'as pas encor pu
Ouvrir ta propre énigme et ta propre fenêtre,
Tu ne te connais pas, et tu veux le connaître,
LUI ! Voyant sans regard, triste magicien,
Tu ne sais pas ton verbe et veux savoir le sien!

VICTOR HUGO - Dernière Gerbe

I do not know why I always leave some empty space in between songs and poetry. I think it is the best place for love to be there forever. For you will always be among them, in between musical tones and beautiful sentences. I'm happy to have a lot of patience to keep looking where you actually are, and get you in the endless waiting for me.
