The simple demonic power of a blink

Blinking is quite a natural movement. It involves the closing and reopening of your eyelid.



Fun fact : It has been something I have had to learn. When I try blinking, I do it with both eyes, which is not even remotely the same. (Although it should be twice the same)



It's about a simple meeting, where I was with an important someone.

Everything was going swimmingly, and a clear connection wasestablished. Smiles were exchanged, and at a certain point, it was clear everything was said.



Then, we shook hands. And after second thoughts, at the door, we still discussed about another topic on the fly.



Then it happened. I just blinked. He blinked back, as by pure reflex.

In a blink, we passed another milestone, as if something else was exhanged.

like :

Blink : "You know what I am talking about"

Blink back : "Off course, I do"



Su ch a powerful tool was in my hand and I never used it enough.

You are sharing something personal. As if only the two of you could understand it.



Just a blink.

"A typical conversation with my mom"

I can totally picture this happening to me.

Mom, I am sure you would agree.




This is a clip by Levni YILMAZ, one of my favorite artist.
I'll be posting some more clips from him...

Window on the world

It looks like there are several ways you can access several universes...


As you see here:
- Real life from window. Sunbeams sparkle on the glass and leaves flutter in the wind.
- Painting shows deep inner world. There is something like a sunset at a hawaian beach or just simpleness at its peak _ offered by Rothko.
- TV. La caja tonta. The stupid box. The fuzzy warm background noise that keeps me company. Desperate housewife rerun number 217 tries to get my attention. At least for the advertizing.
- Laptop. You are my friend. Do not leave me. Please. You would take a piece of me with you.
- Smartphone. With which the post was typed. With which the picture was taken. Laptop's new rival!

Now take a few noment to realize that the woman you see on TV has been through at least 5 intermediate screens before flashing your brain.
Weird.


Is lifestreaming lazy blogging?

A few days ago, I acquired the new HTC Dream. ( aka the google phone).

In a few clicks, I could upload a picture on my blog, make up a one sentence post.
All that is a little slice of my life.

- A few thoughts caught on the fly.
"I think we should stop pretending we're productive, when we have time maintaining a blog."
"A blog does not equal social life."
"Rugby is a simple sport. All you need to know is that if the defending team catches a kicked ball behind the 22 defence line, and the catcher shouts "Mark!", then the game stops and the defending team restarts with the ball at the defence line".
"Banana"
- Pictures of cute girls on the bus.
Yup. There are many. There is a nurse school on the way to Airbus.
- Random fuzzy pictures.
"What's that?" I don't know why are you asking me?

That's lazier blogging. I guess.
But that might be of more value to you guys.
I'll give it a try. But I'd hate to focus less on content.
