the place between sleep and dreams

...

I'm just gonna sit here (quietly) and wait (patiently) until Kimmers contributes some of her insane literary creations... :-P

BTW- Hi Kevin! :) Now we've got THREE people reading this Blog! (ray, kevin, & rach) Where the heck are Jeremy and Sara?!?!?!?!? .... and all the other thousands of supposed crazed reader-fans!?!?!?!? :p

I finally got together again with my neighbor (the one who owns the coolest DVD collection in the world! LOL) and I'm now watching Bond movies again! Oh yeaaah! ;) ;)

Yep! :)

Mountains of Snow

Outside my very window,
I see mountains of snow.
The peaks of a long lost kingdom
that once upon a time had swayed.
And in my imagination,
I see your presence go
outside my very window,
to the fields I’ve never played.

You hide out there,
as if it were okay,
behind the curtains
that the mountains create.
I’d like to find you.
That much, I pray.
I won’t let your hand
play my very fate.

Let the snow come down!
And break my heart in two!
An avalanche that murders
is welcome if you’re never here…
The message is so simple.
My love for you is true.
It’s my only message…
I shout it but you never hear…

There you are again:
My love of comes and gones.
Where are you if I can’t see you?
Show yourself outside my door.
The unreachable desire
that gnaws at my bare bones
is outside my very window
and I’m left with nothing more…

Outside my very window,
all I see is snow…

Brother (translated - Hermano)

Years gone, as an infant,
and I did not see them.

They looked and saw me,
those guardian-eagle eyes,
that never whistle pain,
if they don't want it known.
But always passing on,
the sigh of reason,
and experienced ways.

In those years, as an infant,
I never once could see them...

I saw and looked,
without getting to know;
those eyes of protecting-bear,
that in silence and no verb,
gave off their strong love.

And it is, now distant,
in adulthood…
That I can finally see them.
The eyes of my brother,
in the eyes of his daughter;
and I love to see them.
The eyes of a brother,
who I love like no other.

LOL Well, you were chopped liver until you spoke up! ;) J/K

At least now I've found a way to get the people that read this thing to post some Comments! ... Pretend they're not there!! LOL Now, if only Rachael wasn't our ONLY audience... :(

*waits for the flood of Comments* :p LOL

So, miss rachie rach! Does your sudden presence in the comments section of our Blog mean that you are interested in reading some Roob-poetry!? ;) :D

oh and by the way...

I AM currently living kick-ass days! :D

;)

Weird Phase...

Ok, after having read all that Dante, I've been having really stupid dreams where I talk to trees and nymphs... in rhythmic prose! In fact, even in the normal dreams where I'm talking to someone like my father or brother, I talk as if I were reciting! Very weird. Very annoying.

Anyway...

It gets weirder... Now, I get these sudden urges to talk pretty! LOL To say beautiful things. To write poetry. I'm having these thoughts in Spanish of course. Mainly because I read the Spanish translation of the Inferno (because it doesn't lose anywhere near as much of its Italian rhyme as the English version does). But the problem I see here is... I normally DON'T write poetry in Spanish, 'cause I suck at it! LOL When I write poems, or stories, or songs, I write 'em all in English (my vocabulary flows better in English for some reason)... so I'm freaked out! Where the hell (get it?) does it come from!!!??! If I'm somehow inspired by Alighieri's Cantos, shouldn't I be writing sh!t in Italian!!??! LOL

But anyway, I'm writing away (I've even translated one of my English-written songs into Spanish!!!!!), and I'm coping. :) Maybe something good will come of it. :) And who knows?! If ever I get the opportunity to translate the stuff to English... or even start writing in English again!... I may post some stuff on here! :)

LOL If only for the reading pleasure of my only audience, my partner in blog-crime, The Kim :) LOL :p

Tuesday in Hell !! :p

Oh yes, today went splendidly! It was pretty much the way I planned it :) I got to do everything I wanted to do; and even got some spare time to read the trek through Hell all the way through!!!

Theater Workshop was awesome as usual. It's so much fun! The coolest escape... :)

I didn't get any smoogles LOL and I came straight home from the theater 'cause I was dead tired, man!!! LOL I still am!! I'm half asleep as I write this! LOL Definitely a change from 3 o'clock this morning! :p

But I've learned my lesson :) If I start out my day, loving my day... I do end up loving my day! :) So tomorrow I will wake up happy again, and live another kick-ass day! :)

¡Luna lunita lunera!

Don't you just luuuv it when you wake up at 3am and can't wait to start your day!!!?! :) I'm so happy I could sing! Heheh :) In fact... if it wasn't so damn early, I WOULD! :p LOL I just want 5 o'clock to hurry up and get here so I can shower and get dressed and go out and live my day! :) I love it! :)

Today, I get to be a true college student LOL and sit in the library most of the day and do some research. This excites me because I'm kindova slacker LOL and maybe if I'm responsible and have a productive day, I'll feel good about myself. :) Need to read up on some chapters about media management (history and schools of thought) and take some notes for discussion in class tomorrow. I also need to read up on psychiatric methods of treatment (and take notes) for a test or quiz or whatever sometime soon. Then, I must look up some native theater plays, study some scenes, and choose one to learn and put on stage... AND I wanna get to reading Dante's Inferno! :) Fruggers better have a copy in that library, man!!! :)

At 3pm, I got Theater Workshop... and I sweahtah gawd, to end my wonderful day... I'm gonna get myself a date! Well, maybe not a date, but bygummit I'm gonna hang out with SOMEBODY!!!!!!! LOL ;)

And yes, I'll come home tonight and tell da Blog all about my Tuesday!!! :)

KIM! MMMMMMM *lotsa hugs* I hope you had a great weekend! :) Mine was kinda slow and boring lol but Tumblin' Tubular Tuesday here I come!!! :)

(calming down now for a bit, so I can tell you about Signs)

I saw M. Night Shyamalan's Signs on Saturday.

Signs -> Duuuuuude! It's the best movie I've seen all year! It's right up there with Mendes' Road to Perdition. It's just one of those movies that leaves me satisfied! Leaves me thinking.... "Heck yeah!!!! That's why human beings make movies!!!! Sure, we sculpt, we paint..... But we make movies!!!!!!!!!" :) Shyamalan is a true inspiration, by bringing this utterly creepy, fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat, cunning, genius, thriller!!!! I loved loved loved it! :) Intelligently written, beautifully acted, and masterfully constructed, Signs showed it was a magnificent movie in EVERY scene... yet even so the ending hits you like the icing on the cake! And some cake! And some icing! LOL Signs is a genuine treat! :)

(didn't calm down much, did I? LOL)
