Of daylight and shadows

)arrow Sometimes I feel like Gollum, forever fleeing the burning brightness of the Sun. We endlessly seek its heat only to find our skin aging, our eyes blinded and shadows flattened.

There’s no worse light for photography then a bright noon sunlight. Over it I’ll always choose a late afternoon’s warm nuances and lazy shadows.
I wish there was a way to record a moonlight’s rendition of the world. When all the cats are grey, when men are equal, when corruption sleeps and music prevails.

I’ve borrowed a few words from the Finnish band Nightwish:

)oquote Two hundred and twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet’s play
Until there’s nothing left to say...
I wish for this nighttime
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea... )cquote

The Sex Lives of Cannibals

)arrow I was recently reading a book when suddenly, hidden in the middle of a chapter, I recognized... Myself.

)oquote This would be me, I realized, if I remained in Kiribati any longer, a dissolute man untethered from his own land, a foreigner who has adapted to the queer realities of island life, but a foreigner always, disconnected from the world beyond the reef, and possibly from his own mind. )cquote

That’s a quote from « The Sex Lives of Cannibals » by J. Marteen Troost, an excellent story about life on an island, set in the Pacific but so completely pertinent here on Little Cayman. It’s a modern version of the classic « Don’t Stop the Carnival » and I strongly recommend it to anybody still nursing illusions about the island myth...

No Time to Cry

)oquote Everything will be alright
Everything will turn out fine
Some nights I still can’t sleep
And the voices pass with time
And I keep
No time for tears
No time to run and hide
No time to be afraid of fear
I keep no time to cry )cquote

[From No Time To Cry - The Sisters of Mercy]


)oquote It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we´re going
No care in the world
And maybe I´m learning
Why the sea on the tide
It has no way of turning )cquote

What's a blog, anyway?

)arrow All right, I’ve already had the question asked once, so let’s throw water at the fire before it evens starts: what on Earth is a blog???

Rather than explain it myself, I did a quick review of already posted web definitions, and I kinda like this one:
)oquote A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world.Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what’s new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not.Since Blogger was launched, almost five years ago, blogs have reshaped the web, impacted politics, shaken up journalism, and enabled millions of people to have a voice and connect with others.And we’re pretty sure the whole deal is just getting started. )cquote

Got it?
