i'm having trouble disrupting!! argh, stupid army.. so many rules... i've served 2 years already man.. give me a break.
fft: if our god is about love, this is no wrong kind of love is there? it feels pure, child-like, not of greed and is selfless, in and about itself. no matter what the cynics say.. i hate to talk bout religion..and or god, it's a personal topic and journey.
St John of the Cross wrote the following poem when he was destitute and suffering physical pain in prison. he lived by the belief that "Where there is no love, put love -- and you will find love." in this following poem, he wrote of god i believe:
0 night, my guide
0 night more friendly than the dawn!
0 tender night that tied lover and the loved one,
loved one in the lover fused as one!
On my flowering breasts
which I had saved for him alone,
he slept and I caressed and fondled him with love,
and cedars fanned the air above.
Wind from the castle wall
while my fingers played in his hair: its hand serenely fell wounding my neck,
and there my senses vanished in the air.
I lay. Forgot my being,
and on my love I leaned my face.
All ceased. I left my being,
leaving my cares to fade among the lilies far away.
what would people think of such a love at this day? is he crazy? blasphemous? open your eyes people.. theres more to love than the conventional. mmkay? good. now shut up and sit down please.

my first week back in camp after 6 weeks.. and i'm reminded how mundane army life is.. waking up early, doing things people ask you too.. but its nice to see some faces again though some are gone and some close ones clearing leave already. i'm like the most lao chao now ok!? dont play play! not that it means anything to me, i'm still a slacker. haha.
when i got back, some guys came up to me to hug me and said they miss me. erm, i dont know why they did that.. i'm a pompous prick most of the time in camp!
on another note, what the heck is this ad about?

You've got that look again
The one I hoped I had when I was a lad
Your face is just beaming
Your smile got me boasting, my pulse roller-coastering

havent updated in a while.. sorry. (since valentine's day!) just finished a great book. it's called Everything is Illuminated by jonathan safran foer. bout an american jewish boy going to ukraine to look for a woman who saved his grandpa from the nazi's but all he has is a photo of her when she was young. so he sets of, with the help of alex, who translates for him, but completely butchers the english language
(It made me a tickled-pink person to recieve your letter, and to know you are reinstated at university for your conclusive year. As for me,i still have two years of studies among the remnants. I do not know what i will perform after that... enough of my miniature talking. I am making you a boring person. I will now speak about the business of my story.." lol), alex's grandpa and a dog called sammy davis jr, jr. brillant! for all its comedy, the accumulation into the inevitable nazi occupation at the end was heartbreaking.
