tunnel vision

The other day just before my station arrived noticed “Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.” Can one be more darker in the underground?

hubris

Went to buy bookshelves at Ikea. Looked nice. But then I thought - for my books, the best. Or at least I should do better than IKEA. So I went to a midtown store and ordered a nice unit. Paid and after six weeks inquired about my purchase. The midtown fancy store was out of business.

like him

All alone. His causes forgotten by all, long ago, still carries on his fights talking to empty walls. Never changed his extremist opinions. Half paralyzed since 1991, carries on. Saw him several weeks ago, my far away cousin, and realized I have same readiness to fight to the end.

Mother tongue

Afternoon from the opera. In the break Angela Gheorghiu gives an interview. The interviewer asks her if she wants to say something in Romanian. Why? It is New Year time...your Romanian audience...So Angela says in Romanian "I have a cold today." How else would one use one's mother tongue but to complain about the life's little miseries...

me too warm

Like the Cheney guy. I'm lovable too and have no friends on Facebook. Unexplainable. I haven't shot any.

tired wit at high noon

if you look around the blogosphere, everything has been said. HATE it. There was a time i could be original..... To friends and family. Seemed original. Now, not really a plagiarist, but late with the bon mot. A reuser, a slow with the repartee. A copycat. Someone else's retort.
