Daydream Delusion

One of my favorite movies is Before Sunrise. In one scene the main characters come across a homeless guy in Vienna who instead of just begging for money offers to write a poem on the spot using any word they could think of. They say "milkshake" and he writes this poem:

Daydream delusion
Limousine Eyelash
Oh, baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet cakes and MILKSHAKES
I am a delusion angel
I am a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we're going
Launched in life
Like branches in the river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I'll carry you. You'll carry me
That's how it could be
Don't you know me (poet hands poem back)
Don't you know me by now

I love this poem for some reason. Part of it is the delivery when the guy reads it with his accent.

Snowboarding Hoodoo 1/21/2007

I went to Hoodoo with M@ yesterday and he filmed me going down the longest run (summit to base).

I'm amazed at how well M@ was able to film this. It is not easy to do while boarding.

The Surge

After the elections overwhelmingly showed that Americans want to end the occupation of Iraq, Bush is going to propose INCREASING troops. I hope the Congress smacks down on this.

Why must he always do the opposite of the will of the people? Everyone knows that the problem Bush created in Iraq cannot be solved with military might. He's believed that was the solution from the beginning and has never let go of that idea.

Update: Two-thirds of Americans oppose this plan. Congress didn't get a say in it. Unpopular dictator.
