I must say, Ill always be a friend.
Sincerely, I apologize for any harm or insult I might have laid upon you, unwillingly as it might have been.
Bye Margo. =)
I shall go back to my behemoth-huge homeworks. My good wishes and nice thoughts stay with you, though.
But I miss reading you :( So I just came here to tell you and so you know you are not too far from my thoughts.
I hope you are doing great.
About my photos: The only advice I could think off is making "click" on where it says photos, because I dont really know ^_^ But dont worry, its just me with much less clothes and a pic of two dogs doing funny faces.
Have to go sleep now, just so i can keep going when I wake up. Eyes closing.
I like all things you write by the way.
Oh, but It's still too late to write anything.
But least I can say by now is thank you Margo.
Thank you.

This is so much frustrating!
I was typing a very extensive response to your warm comments since the last couple of hours aaaand the lights went off!
I couldnt save it
Oh no.
WAEFWDFSDAFAWEFI
I'll... Im sorry. I'll respond later my friend, I think they (neighbours) are going to keep overusing the electricity line. And im a bit "grrr" at the moment.
grrr
Sorry about this, again. ^_^
You indeed are an interesting person. Although I havent find much in life that is not interesting I still mean that and mean it like a compliment :) I percieve a different person each time you answer.
I was sick 4-5 days ago but I dont know if I got the epidemy sickness; I had fever but I didnt had the other symptoms. Whatever the case, im all right now, thank you!
Ill try not to inquire much about your past since you dont seem to feel so good about it. I hope you dont worry about it too much. I've done some awful mistakes myself and I feel suffocated by them often times, so I can relate.
My room has a view to my grandmother's little garden. Birds have their nest on the tallest tree and they used to tweet early in the morning. It is still a wonderful sight I have on my southern window but everything seems to be in a more precarious situation nowadays. Birds dont tweet that much now.
How do you enjoy nature? I enjoy it alone and in silence. I like to observe and daydream about it.
Do you know what is that?Earl of Sandwich: 'Idont know whether you will die on the gallows or of the pox!'
John Wilkes: My Lord, that will depend on whether I embrace your principles or your mistress.'
*Do you know any comedy sites? I think I saw those on one
Primavera(Spring)-Sandro Bottechelli-a girl in a red cloak is standing in the centre of the group,next to her,to her right,in a patterned robe is the "girl."On google images theres some closeups of this "girls" face.
*Ah yes, thats the manliest of them. That Bottichilli and his subliminal messages.
Are you interested in Philosophy,Rich?-you mentioned Aristotle and Plato as two of your dinner guests-dont know much about them-Aristotle categorised things? Plato created a perfect city?(did he grant equality to women?
*I really dont know much about that either. I do know they were philosophers, they were highly intelligent and their way of thinking, on logic and other fields may fit my own. I've learn about their thoughts while studying different things
and I think they are remarkable, even when both persons werent as knowledgeful as we are supossed to be. Most surely they would judge different certain things if they were exposed to our age's knowledge. Maybe you are refering to your aparent fascination with Marco Aurelio.
I am very much interested in philosophy, It will be a large part of my life. So far I've only dialogued with myself and my father, our line of thoughts are very much alike and since we have been exposed to much the same meaningful
knowledge, we both have realized similar implications. The knowledge I refer does not come from books but of analizing our surroundings. My father has not studied what other philosophers say and does not plan to, for our findings
already make our lives somewhat happy and complete, enough for him. I have learn little about other philosophers social thesis (which is the most important subject to us) but I do plan on studying theirs because I want to "save" our
world. I consider this to be my responsability, my duty and my main reason to live.
I'm getting 3 philosophy books from the library-Marcus Aurelias(how did he find time to be a philosopher and rule the Roman Empire,too?) Epictetus(accepting reality) and Epicurus(eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we diet.)
Do you have a definition of philosophy? myself,I think of it as something that makes the journey through life a little easier.
*Definition of philosophy... I think yours is a nice way to see it. The way I see it, philosophy is the psyche trying to understand and improve what is known to it.
About your dinner party--I'v never heard Philip Glass,keep meaning to get a cd of his.I like Scott Walker,his later music is off the planet,keep meaning to get a cd of his.
*You just made me discover Scott Walker.
Leonardo da Vinci-I'd tell him about my Mona Lisa theory-for all we know,he might be a party animal.
Darwin--he could tell us stories about his voyages and if he lets his hair down he could be a fun person.
Mozart--I'm sure he enjoyed parties-maybe he and Philip Glass would play for us.
We need a couple of women-I nominate Ruby Wax and Margaret Cho--comediennes.
What a party we'd have--all of us pissed to the eyebrows and laughing our heads off all night, then at sunrise we'd all head to the beach for hamburgers (or whatever)--then we'd all hop on a plane for Rome and have lunch by the Trevi Fountain--then we'd all go clubbing all night--at one of these clubs I'd meet Johnny Depp who would fall in love with me,and,looking across the dance-floor, I would see you with the woman of your dreams and she's VERY interested in you.
Poetic,erotic, white-hot love would be made under the Roman moon--everyone in our party gets laid-and next morning we would all assemble for a leisurely breakfast and talk about our evenings entertainment--then we fly home.
*Haha! Yes, that sounds like well thought fun. But as always with me, I would pass on that. I know I make false impresions of my tastes, although if im not joking I dont lie. Parties do not fit me and I dont fit on parties. That sort of party, at least. Mi idea of party would be a chat, each chat is a party to me.
Big Arnie had an abusive father(these days who hasnt?)--sometimes this will push men into success (I'll show the old man!!)
*I have always known im very fortunate to have the parents I have but I had not realized there were so many cases of an abusive father, I thought the norm was the careless/irresponsable parent.
In his autobiography, he said that he once had skinny calves,and to force himself to develop them,he cut off his trouser legs so that everyone could see his skinny calves--the man must have a will of iron! In the doco 'Pumping Iron', he used psychology on his biggest rival Lou Ferrigno, freaked him out and beat him-he took ballet lessons to move more gracefully up on the stage.
*For what you mention, I think he did not rely so much on his own will as much as he relied on his intelligence and traumas. He conquered aggresively himself with that. I see it was other people that motivated him through his own fears and sensitivenes, and that made him be brave.
I dont like that much. His life is full of conflict.
Although conflict is what has made us into the species we are... and although life itself represents a conflict, I somehow feel we should tend to no longer need more than the most basic common life vs aparent death.
In Chinese Astrology he is a (Leo) Boar.I'm a (Cancer) Fire Boar-what sign are you? (sounds like an old pick-up line from the bars.)
*Im a (Cancer) Dragon aparently [yeepee!]. The description I found on that site I just checked is part of a good sketch of me. But that could fit in other sing descriptions as well. I do believe it's posible for the magnetism and other planetary intrinsic phenomena to inflict such stuff on a being, as it was already shown that magnetism affects behavior. I still wouldnt trust much in astrology to make important decisions.
Marquis de Sade--an interesting man-when he was a judge,he handed down the most lenient of sentences-While in prison,he could see the horrors of The Terror from his window---in case youre interested,Geoffrey Rush played de
Sade in the movie "Quills",set in the madhouse.
*I have that movie on my ipod! :)
Hitler would be interesting(if we could stop him from from making speeches). But we'd have to surgically remove the uniform,shave off the moustache and get him a decent hairstyle before we let him into the party.
*I laugh
He was also abused by his father. He told Speer his architect that he had to lift weights to strengthen his arm for those heilhitler salutes on those lengthy parades. I tried to read Mein Kampf,but the book was a mess-talk about my
struggle!-reading it was like trying to climb a hill wearing rollerscates.At one point,he descibed himself as a cosmopolitan--Cosmopolitan!! Hitler?!!---the mind boggles!
*I laugh again.
I'd love to get him drunk at our party--in vino veritas!
He did one good thing,though,he married Eva. (People still call her his mistress)
*You know? I wonder if you are a male and just how old are you. Not too much because,to me, it's ok if you are anything, pretending or not.
Do you think we are all mentally insane? I think we all have something of that.
Have you ever noticed how many dictators have worn moustaches? (check out Vlad The Impaler) I read that men who wear moustaches and rings on their little fingers are not getting their sexual needs met.Also read that the moustache originated to imitate the tusks of the wild Boar.
*I can't have a proper moustache. My facial hair is all messed up: I have very tiny thin brownish hair below the level of the eyes except on the moustache part and the chin; in both exeptions I have it scarse, thick, dark and sometimes dark red.
When you say "all is a wonder in itself,' do you mean like sunsets,rainbows,etc?
*I ment... have you seen Watchmen? seen the reason *SPOILERS(which end on "end of spoliers")* Manhattan decides to help Laurie and human life? *END OF SPOILERS* well I've thought something like that but expanded to
the whole universe. Hehe, now you have to watch Watchmen, eh?
Iread that we should take pleasure in the small things-when I'm watching my favourite movies or eating my favourite food, for that brief time I dont envy a billionare.
*Yes, it's a joy to be able to do that. But it's even more when you dont seek it and you notice it without wanting to do so. You should try not to seek pleasure. By the way, do you feel unloved or something like that? honestly.
I always wonder "why?". Do you know why we should take pleasure in the small things?
Are you saying that Intention is better than Doing?-please clarify.
*It's not that you reach the top of mountain that is important but the pursuit of climbing the path. But, still, I did not express my thoughts well. Sorry for that. I want to say that I don't take as evil the act of doing something good but its more important to my taste that the motive the good thing is done is good, a good intention. In some cases the intention is in fact better than the act and in other cases its the other way around. Like how corporations make art available to people but their intention is to be rich and not to make the good they are doing to those people, against how a president may want to change the wrongs that benefit some and perjudicate the vast majority (and thus, also
those who aparently benefited more immediately) but he can't do it because those with power wont allow him to
Ilike animals too but my flat's not suitable for pets and what about the responsibilities-animals become like children--getting them to the vet,(not the children)*xD *,and what do you do with them when you go on holidays?
and will the animal hotel feed them properly? Some people in Australia still cut off Boxer dogs' tails and no-one seems to feed their cats and dogs fresh meat any more,just canned rubbish--would they feed this garbage to their children?
My philosophy is that all life is ONE,no difference between plants insects and humans. All Living is made of the same stuff,all Living comes from the same source,then returns to it,All Living must be respected (if that's possible) Icall it a duty it Life.
*Oh yeah. That's nice.
I dont tread on ants if I can help it, but I will kill any flies,bugs or spiders in my flat, but if theyre outside,I'll leave them alone.
*Those blasted things are so much anoying... when I said I saved many insect lives I was counting those that were on my grasp but I took conciousness and release them outside.
MARGO xxx (see how I obey you? I added the extra cross.)
*Very good Margo, very good. Next, send me a photo of yours :D even if you are a indian 13 year old boy! or a dog. Specially if you are a dog.
Me, I feel sympathy towards animals and actually I have saved many insect lives which is all I feel I can afford commiting to. That's a way to say im trying to be responsible for all the things I already have and in order to do so I can't start something demanding like a pet relationship; because surely there is the chance to have one always, even taking one dog from the streets into my small house, and even to take care of it's basic needs, but if I care for something I don't have the heart to leave it at that.
Plus im allergic to low IQ, that's why I can barely stand being around myself.
Nah, im actually mildly allergic to dogs and cats and dust and other stuff.
It's right what you say, our dreams and fantasies about life are more pleasuring than the real thing; fortunately, if you dont seek that pleasure you are bound to get it anyway if you apreciate things for what they are. From my current point of view it seems all is a wonder by itself, a wonder which could be improved but already is magnificent.
I think we all have some chance to be better, the ability of doing so is desirable but the intention of doing it is one of my favourite things and what I like in any given person.
That's a good analisis of Lovecraft you did. I'm very bad at analizing people but I like trying to do so, and that's one mind game I like.
Oh! I would like to invite... Mozart (the famous one, of course) because he had a similar sense of humor to mine, I think; also Aristotle and Plato, that H. P. Lovecraft, Philip Glass because his music is way too much similar to the music i've composed and that could only mean he's as cool as me :D; Leonardo da Vinci would be on my list because I would like to know about crazy stuff he was involved in, Arnold Shwarzenneger because I would like to study what drives an intelligent man to seek power and not reflection over it and see if reasoning could change that; i'd like to chat with that Marquis de Sade guy, Hitler and Darwin. And maybe we could have one of those WILD parties, if you know what I mean ;) And you are invited too ;)
Tried to find the Primavera painting you mention but there were too many that fit your description, which is sort of funny.
You can't make me bored, I never am, and even less when it's about a friend.
Aaaand you missed an x.
xxx
On both last messages. =)
Is that a proposal, by the way? :O
