Trophy on someone's wall

I am still trying to understand what beauty someone might find in hunting. I would like to understand the feelings a hunter has when he is holding his finger on the trigger. Thrill ? Excitement? Maybe guilt? Remorse ?

"How on earth can you get up in the morning, thinking that you will end a life, and be happy about it? Why, in order for me to live, a creature must die? a creature as free as I am never going to be ....." - Harris Wallman

A spot of colour

I have promised to a friend I would translate my favourite lyrics from a song.
Delievered of course only with the original ...

Ich habe zu einem Freund versprochen, das ich werde meine Lieblingslyrikform ein Lied übersetzen. .

"...take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time far past the frozen leaves
The haunted frightened trees out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow

Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow..."

"...Nehmen Sie mir weit verschwinden
durch die Rauchringe meines Verstandes
hinunter die nebeligen Ruinen der Zeit
hinter den gefrorenen Blättern
die frequentierten erschrockenen Bäume
dann heraus zum windigen Strand
Weit von die verdrehte Reichweite der verrückten Sorge ,
unter den Diamanthimmel
mit einer Hand ja zu tanzen,
die frei silhouettiert durch das Meer
wellenartig bewegt,
kreiste durch die Zirkussande
ein Wenn allem Gedächtnis und Schicksal
tief unter die Wellen gefahren sind
Lassen Sie mich bis morgen ungefähr heute vergessen..."

Play pretend

I've found this girlie website where you can dress up however you like. I'm not a very big fan of fashion ( somehow I think that what you feel comfortble in, is what suits you best ) yet I decided to give it a try and play pretend... well
I might delete this post later but until then .... YOU are taking me out to dinner tonight ...

Spinning

Well i've got this via e-mail...
There is this picture of a lady who's spinning.
Apperently some people at Yale University studied it for over 5 years and came up with this : if you see her spinning clockwise it means you are using the right part of your brain. If you see her spinning the other way arround it means you are using the left side of your brain.
If you see her spinning both ways it means you are some kind of a genius with an IQ over 160 who is able to shift the stream in your brain ... bla bla.
Good news is that government money are well spent, supporting reasearch ...
Bad news is that are never using enough brain ....
So ... how many geniuses out there hmm ?

Oh ... click on the image to see ....

and a Happy New Year !
