A poem to my boyfriend.
i once cut out fifteen paper stars,
taped them to my ceiling
to hang above my bed
so we could watch them while we held each other
so we’d be looking at the same constellations
as we were set adrift
because, when i met you,
l stopped thinking about adventure
starting thinking about romance novels,
and running away,
starting thinking about rings-
so you gave me one,
a ring that stained my finger blue
like the ocean, like something i could drown in
and that was our love,
not the fights or the shipwrecks,
but the times we held each other
my head on your chest,
and i heard the shore in your heartbeat

Just because you didn’t want me to send in our photo doesn’t mean I won’t find other ways to show you (and the rest of the world) how much I love you.

This poem is absolutely gorgeous. Better than probably 99/100 of the poems I have read in my life, and I’ve read a lot of poems. Also, awwwwwww!!!! Sweetness!!!

Of all the pics I’ve seen of Andrej, this is my favorite. He looks like simply the beautiful man he is :)

dearest friends family and wwwpack……Please...
dearest friends family and wwwpack……Please share this video with as many people as you can, raise your voice, us “people have the power” united kingdom, do you remember Section 28? This is worse. Russia is going backwards with equality laws and the message is spreading across eastern europe. its a big step backwards for such a beautiful country. Like this video says, i too, with much sadness and misery will have to boycott russia on future tours until this law changes. I would be a criminal by performing as would my clarinet player, as you know I’m not one to bite my tongue onstage. I have hope. my russian audience are in my blood and soul. Lets do this, for russia with love that knows no boundaries and sees beyond sexuality x patrick

Sixteen Things Calvin and Hobbes Said...
Sixteen Things Calvin and Hobbes Said Better Than Anyone Else
To paraphrase E.B. White, the perfect sentence is one from which nothing can be added or removed. Every word plays its part. In my more giddy moments I think that a simple comic strip featuring Calvin, a preternaturally bright six year-old, and Hobbes, his imaginary tiger friend, features some of the most lucid sentences committed to print. And when I sober up, I usually think exactly the same.
Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes ran between 1985 and 1995. His comic strip managed to infuse wondering (and wandering) on a cosmic scale into an ageless world of lazy Sunday afternoons, snow goons, and harassed babysitters. I’m not saying that you should take moral and philosophical guidance from the inventor of Calvinball (a game that runs on chaos theory), but you could do much worse.
So here, in no particular order, is a selection of quotes that nail everything from the meaning of life to special underwear. Enjoy.
On life’s constant little limitations
Calvin: You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don’t help.
On expectations
Calvin: Everybody seeks happiness! Not me, though! That’s the difference between me and the rest of the world. Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!
On why we are scared of the dark
Calvin: I think night time is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction.
On the unspoken truth behind the education system
Calvin: As you can see, I have memorized this utterly useless piece of information long enough to pass a test question. I now intend to forget it forever. You’ve taught me nothing except how to cynically manipulate the system. Congratulations.
On the cruel reality of commercial art
Hobbes: Van Gogh would’ve sold more than one painting if he’d put tigers in them.
On the tragedy of hipsters
Calvin: The world bores you when you’re cool.
On the tears of a clown
Calvin: Isn’t it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humour? When you think about it, it’s weird that we have a physiological response to absurdity. We laugh at nonsense. We like it. We think it’s funny. Don’t you think it’s odd that we appreciate absurdity? Why would we develop that way? How does it benefit us?
Hobbes: I suppose if we couldn’t laugh at things that don’t make sense, we couldn’t react to a lot of life.
Calvin: (after a long pause) I can’t tell if that’s funny or really scary.
On the falling of sparrows (or providence’s lack of a timetable)
Calvin: Life is full of surprises, but never when you need one.
On why winter is the cruellest of seasons
Calvin: Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.
On the gaping hole in contemporary art’s soul
Calvin: People always make the mistake of thinking art is created for them. But really, art is a private language for sophisticates to congratulate themselves on their superiority to the rest of the world. As my artist’s statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance.
On playing Frankenstein with words
Calvin: Verbing weirds language.
On realising God is more Woody Allen than Michael Bay
Calvin: They say the world is a stage. But obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines.
Hobbes: Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Calvin: We need more special effects and dance numbers.
On why ET is real
Calvin: Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
On looking yourself in the mirror
Hobbes: So the secret to good self-esteem is to lower your expectations to the point where they’re already met?
On the future
Calvin: Trick or treat!
Adult: Where’s your costume? What are you supposed to be?
Calvin: I’m yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet, raised to an alarming extent by Madison Avenue and Hollywood, poised with my cynical and alienated peers to take over the world when you’re old and weak. Am I scary, or what?
On the truth
Calvin: It’s a magical world, Hobbes, ol’ buddy…Let’s go exploring!
