Amazingly numb

Why is this post title like that?

Well... It sounds good...

Lately I haven't posted here... Mia also didn't... So it's a dull front page... Static as hell.

So now a new threat is unleashed upon the world... This post!

I've been trying Apple's iTunes Music Store... Well trying isn't the exact word for it... It's more like I've been sucked in.. And in a matter of days I managed to spend almost 20€ in it... That's about 10% of my monthly budget, so you should be able to imagine the cataclysmic state of my finances right now... Of course, considering that, in this month only, I've already bought 1 CD (Placebo's Once more With Feeling (the singles)), and one of these days almost 15€ where deducted from my account in parking fees only, you could say I will be living from donations for the last 3 days of the month...

Where were I? Oh... iTMS. Listening to the music I legally bought gives me that warm fuzzy feeling of doing something right.. So Nuspirit Helsinki, Velvet Underground and Nitin Sawhney, thank you for keeping me warm. :)

Next on the agenda... Hum nothing... I don't have an agenda for these posts :P

It's funny all the little feelings you get when you're around people of the opposite sex... Ever had the feeling one of your friends could, if in a different time or space, kiss you, love you ... In sum.. You could be a couple, and the only reason you're not is because fate threw a curve ball at you?
I had that feeling the other day... a few days after listening something on the radio that put me thinking... A know radio show (Prova Oral) at my favorite radio (Antena 3) was discussing Love. They said something like "Sometimes you love someone that cannot love you back" and then they jumped that situation entirely and discussed only letting go from those you cannot love. Of course the other possible course of action isn't a very pleasant one: waiting.
Wow.. I managed to write two paragraphs saying almost nothing... but in nothingness you'll find the path to enlightenment, as they said in some old Japanese film (or I'm just making it up while I'm typing ;)).
So.. And to end this little rambling... What if everyone could have half an hour (I had written 2 minutes... But half an hour is more like it) of unrestricted, unaffected, forgotten moments with another person... A moment where both of you weren't tied up by social, psychic or physical constrains to the outside world, you could do anything, without affecting the course of history.. a dreamlike event... Which both would remember as a different, if not weird, dream...

That would be an opportunity I would love to have... Even if after it I would be like the cavemen in the "The Allegory of the Cave" by Plato (

With this I say goodbye to all my imaginary reader, the shadows in my wall...

Kisses and Hugs...

P.S. Blogger spell check suggests me to change my name to Richard.... maybe it's the right thing to do... maybe it's a premonition... ;)
