I need some air

Byebye Olympics...
It can't just be me. I thought the London handover part of the Olympics closing ceremony was laughable. The cheap transformers bus, the messy dancing, that terrible dress on Leona Lewis, sweaty old man on the guitar (he needs a haircut), that "minimalist" violinist in American Apparel-ish clothes, and Beckham just standing there (not hot). It all looked like a Christmas parade. The only thing I liked was the umbrellas...it's rains there, bring a big one.

Cringe.

New purchase:

I got this purse at the Chinese Arts & Crafts store in Wanchai.





This was at Sanlitun in Wanchai, right next to the Arts & Crafts store.

Yikes, another hard week coming up. Hellfire, but I'm hell-bent.

Bring it!

I'm all over the place

Fine

Where I want to be right now: a courtyard in Vienna...



and it's only because the tears blur my eyes
before they wash them out and reveal the disguise
it's rather later than sooner that we see things clearer
take a look in the mirror
and you'll know what I mean

fine
I guess I'm doin' fine
I think a lot and I know too little
I think I know too little
I think I know too little

so sometimes I praise escapology
cause it's the only way to be when you learn and you see
how cruel people can be
cruel people can be
I never believed in the tale of reason

Video by Playggground, v cool.
"playgrrround is a vienna based video project.
We take artists we love off the stage, onto and around the streets, into the woods,...then we play.
They with their instruments. We with the camera. And all together with the space we find ourselves in."

Someone asked me today "What is it that you're after? (relationship)"

This is what I am after:

I want to believe. I want to be able to truly believe things that someone says to me, and never have the doubt. As soon as I start to doubt, I will find faults in everything that has already been said to me, all the things that will be said to me. Then everything loses its meaning. Only the truth matters? Well, truth is a relative thing, relative to the ears of the one that hears it. There is no such thing as the truth, there is only perception. As soon as I start to doubt, it's both endless and it's over.

You have to choose carefully who to believe in. And sometimes not believing is a fortunate thing.

This was really strange, Esquire HK 20th anniversary. I felt so out of place.


This was weeks ago, before the China trip. At Peel Fresco a little live jazz place in Soho.

Reverie

I'm so glad I went back to China for a week and 1/2, perfect timing.

Meeting tomorrow. Work is getting busier still... I don't think I'll get that day off anytime soon.

It might sound really obvious but I just realized, that morality has nothing to do with education, family background, occupation, wealth, how nice the person is, or how smart the person is.

I'm not sure what it has to do with. Maybe having a role model. Maybe having strength.

A sigh of disappointment, but of relief. Now I trust my instincts and judgments even more.

Have faith in...?
