The Desire of the 31th

The desire in the last day of the year is always strong, somehow we become ambivalent about letting the day to pass. A desire to work against time but we know it's hopeless. It conjures up the imagery of Atlas holding up a globe, just waiting, a suspension of time, when will he let it go, soon. Last year I made some wishes or resolutions, why? Because everybody else did it. Yeah that's a stupid reason. So around the same time today last year, I made three.

I didn't able to fulfill any of them. My year turned out to be totally different from what I expected. As always, it turned out to be much much much more exciting with a few bits of significant pains. But, hey... Don't want it the other way. Thanks God, He didn't listen to my boring 'resolutions' and gave me something beyond my wildest imagination. 2009 still feels like a dream. It's then time to wake up... Ehm or should I? Our cosmic life doesn't operate on a Jan-December basis, does it? Well... Let's go into 10, here I come.

Gus Away

Gus Dur, our fourth president, passed away today, a few hours ago. He is my role model for a man of faith: an extremist in loving God and loving people. Really a jewel of the nation!

Is to be a Photographer

I dont know if I have shared this with some of you. I think the ideal and the coolest profession I dream of is to be a full time (and relatively sufficient) photographer. That's the one that consistently pops-up my mind, with many "wouldn't it be cool if..." moments. I imagine, I will just wake-up every morning or ever ynight just to figure out where is the next cool space I should go now. And then go there and go enjoying the space, probing, interogating, and lastly framing the space into the camera. Click. Other cool professions I consider are: movie-maker, writer, musician, singer-songwriter like Glen Hansard (haha), neuro-scientist, and physicist (is that the correct word?).

PS: I love blogspot, feel so good here, able to vent my thought more than the inhumane 140-character in Twitter. But have you create one? You will love the pain of that 140.
