digging deeper in her heart,
but it's such a solid art;
spin your spade round and round
and round, through the senseless ground.

WAKE UP / WRITE DOWN
i can see the moon but the sun hasn't set yet
falling asleep or waking up in the name of some cool platitudes
we are just like long rays of light in the depth of the woods
forget everything that's old, keep something to reinvent
Do you dream... in verse? Yes, poetry in a dream.
Heavy and sleepy dawn, you're writing down oddly rhymed lines that have just aroused you.
Do you dream in verse? I do.

Hitler heat.
"He killed approx 11 million people, to include 6 million Jews. If anyone should have their birthday forgotten, it's Adolf Hitler."
Eight days ago this phrase was trending in twitter.
Eight days ago it was the day of Hitler's birth.
The second part of this tweet was considered to be strong and solid. Strange thing, but I can't agree with it.
Of course, this thought is deep enough (although "depth" is not that usual for trending tweets). Forgetting his date of birth means forgetting Hitler himself. As a person who had never had a birthday so he had never existed. An emotional and catchy way to express your hate for A.H.
That phrase got thousands of retweets. These thousands were a solid reminder, not a monotonous "hypnotism" so as we could forget Hitler. Indifference is a more efficient way to forget anything.
But not in that case. I feel that today there is an incredible obsession with everything wicked and disastrous (Hitler in particular, even if mocking him or so). Talking about peace and harmony in public but adoring evil in secret.
It is no wonder that lots of people love finding fun or beauty in vicious things. Especially nowadays, when there is a certain tension in the air (fear of catastrophes and wars, that causes perversion in people's tastes and preferences). That's why such personalities as Adolf Hitler won't be forgotten.
Furthermore, by saying "Let's forget A.H., let him drown in clouds of history dust!" we mean ignoring his deeds. That's why such personalities as Adolf Hitler mustn't be forgotten. Forgetting him equals neglecting those 11 million of victims, mentioned in that trending tweet which was considered to be strong and solid. Strange thing, but I can't agree with it. Really? Nothing strange.

I study political science.
And I can't stand those people who know nothing about war in Libya.
Just as a good British cook can't stand other cooks who can't remember exactly the simplest recipe for pudding.
Or a vintage cold steel collector who can't bear when people try to discuss his collection (being a total disaster at recognizing a sword and a carving knife).
Or anyone else.
When they pathetically say "Whole world is watching Libya", well, those who don't give a darn about current events in this country — they are out of the world.
I don't mean that war in Libya is the only hot topic now, but who knows what will come out of it?

I'd prefer knowing nothing about crappy reality shows on MTV rather than knowing nothing what's going on in the world. Litter to my brain. Do you know who is Justin Bieber? I do. I want him to get out of my memory but I adore all evil jokes about him HAHAHA. Ok, that's clear.When they pathetically say "Whole world is watching Libya", well, those who don't give a darn about current events in this country — they are out of the world.

By the way, could you tell me any pudding recipe?
And I'll tell you something about Libyan war. Agreed?

Waves overhead.
I was surfing the Net yesterday to find out exact information about magnitude of the earthquake and height of tsunami waves in Japan. But soon I realized that figures wouldn't show the scale of this catastrophe better than the photo reports.
The other disaster is some people's reactions. Making fun of the tragedy by asking if the catastrophe in Japan would have any influence on apocalyptic themes in anime — how do you like it!
Idiotic jokes — bliss of idiots. You know, if they want to mock, they can open their mouths even in tsunami wave, only the joke will end with bubbles on the water surface.
Of course, life would be a bit more boring and monotonous without madmen. But on the other hand, what if their stupidity provokes fury of Mother Nature, huh?
Depressed whiners (who are always howling about the apocalypse) deserve no praise either. Well, it is unpleasant that this disaster has happened not long before the infamous 2012. So what?
I don't even want to comment on this. If an earthquake of weeping can't kill those whiners, let tsunami of their own sniffles take them away from here.
