the brain shell

i am a leader, not a follower and i love my brain: helmets are hot and i can dress up, too (as posted on sj's new group 'i love my brain').

i was asked a question the other day about my top tips in cycling and i said in one breath:
helmet, visibility, individual style...

so, i bought a helmet on friday, on my way to town to get some stuff for qB and, because i was refusing to cycle without head protection till then, ever since my friend's accident, i walked into brixton cycles and after careful consideration and discussion and trying ons, i got one, with a good price, too.

i have been riding a brompton (black and silver) for nine years... before, i was on a blue racer with drop bars...

the london sky lately

sow and reap

it feels like sunday, but it's monday; end of bank holiday weekend, including the leopard queen Bees, which was fun and wild at times with a good bunch of most of us dressed up and working two days in a row, listening to reggae, dancehall, soul, funk and live music, interacting with different people and polishing my social behaviour, opening up more to the diversity of life; making money (again)...
i left the studio where i was photographed, feeling the late summer chill. lovely. a bit melancolic. terribly nostalgic.
i drove home, listening to hapsicord chamber music, anticipating a creative, interesting and rich (in everything) time, autumn, life, future ahead of me.

i dreamt again, art, chemicals (none taken), the person, whose absence is impossible to digest, whose love is impossible to ignore...

it was lovely, non planned and/ or expected, wonderfully received, meticulously stored in the vast section of my memory; i live with it, i do it...

busy week ahead full of projects and possibilities...

the moon is full and in pisces

This Full Moon in Pisces occurs at 1:05pm EST (5:05 pm GMT) Tuesday, August 24, 2010. This Full Moon is the culmination of those things started during the New Moon in Leo on August 9, which started a period of introspection and discovering not only our inner child but also how to make that inner child happy.
Since the Sun has just made its move into Virgo (opposite the moon in Pisces), we need to note that the discretionary power of Virgo will affect us during this Full Moon. Pisces is about seeing the bigger picture, and Virgo will help us to understand the details of this picture. However, it should also be noted that Mercury is still in retrograde in Virgo, which gives us additional power of introspection and re-examination of the details of our lives.
We are still feeling the energy of the Cardinal Grand Cross, too, which was activated on August 6 between Jupiter/Uranus (Aries); Pluto (Capricorn); the Moon (Cancer); and Saturn, Mars and Venus (Libra). Because all the aspects in a Grand Cross are considered difficult aspects (squares/oppositions), we will be feeling pulled in very different directions. Be sure to be attentive to your actions; you don’t want to try to accomplish everything at once and end up not accomplishing anything.

do you deserve...

... my love?

with your clumpsy manner? (so cute)
your rough skin? (i want to kiss it forever)
yout little tyre around the waist? (i want to wrap myself around it)
your huge hands? (which make me quiver upon your touch)
your nervous gaze? (i dive into your eyes relentlessly every time i see you)
your shyness? your fear? your amateur tricks? (every painful and/ or not moment with you is a joy, which i can't, nor i wish to, explain)

unshaved agitation i don't know the next thing that it is going to come out of your mouth; it might be good, it might be ridiculous, it might be nonsense (i am being very very leniant here), or what you are going to do; it might be nice/ beautiful, courageous, it might be mean/ silly/ plain stupid...

i don't care i don't care i don't care
i am chemically devoted to you... with no fear and no compromise, of course (but you know that already); it is a yes...

and remember, what you do, i can do better, but i choose to go against your grain, instead, much better challenge, not that i expect you to understand with that simple head of yours, that i shall offer more love, without being taken for a fool...

the art of life... contradictory and wonderful...

now, the other question is... do i deserve yours? as i said it before, i am saying it again: everything begins from the self and ends there too, so i might as well start first...
