camera obscura

"You should catch up on some sleep but are reluctant to[...] She still pervades your senses, that wild frenzy before parting, the smell of her body with your semen smeared on her heaving breasts[...] You should look with transcendent eyes upon yourself, a man who is an animal with a consciousness, an animal stranded in a human forest[...] You have nothing to complain about. To be able to enjoy life, you have paid a price, but, apart from lies and bullshit, what doesn't come at a cost? You should articulate your experiences in writing, leave traces of your life, just like the semen you ejaculate. Surely blaspheming the world will bring you joy![...]  There is no hatred[...] You stroked her tangled mass of soft hair and let her suck you."

 If not for a certain Eve*, I would certainly have not immersed myself in the literature of my cultural heritage. Ensconced—don't you just love how it rolls off Your Tongue!—in my world of Occidental influences as I was, the Oriental readings I allowed myself ran as far East as India, and no further West. Ah! Malaysia is West of the Indian subcontinent; yet East of Eden, all Under Heaven and her heaving bosom. And I shall live with my Demons in the vaulted darkened room that is my camera obscura. And only She will be most welcome to my inner thoughts—and feelings—She who is the Eve who brought me down to Earth, grounding me in the present; cutting off the painful past.

 *the eve of my eve with Eva, the Eve of Eden and the Forbidden Fruit that makes Life what It Is

Theme Song

In Love In Vain
(Leo Robin & Jerome Kern)

[click on the "play" button to hear
a low-res version of this song
by Dick Haymes & Helen Forrest. best played with mp3PRO decoder]

Love can be a blessing,
But also most depressing,
And I don't mind confessing
That I feel mighty Blue!

It's only human for anyone
To want to be in love
But who wants to be
In love in vain?

At night you hang around the house
And eat your heart out
And cry your eyes out
And wrack your brain.

You sit and wonder
Why anyone as wonderful as she
Should cause you such misery & pain
I thought that I would be in Heaven,

But I'm only up a tree
Cause it's just my luck to be
In love in vain!

LOVE, n.
1. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.
- Ambrose Bierce

2. A man's insane desire to become a woman's meal-ticket.
- Gideon Wurdz
