virtual reality lust

The Lust We Fought For

The lust we fought for in now just a pile of ash.
The lust we fought for was a lie to it's very last.
The lust we fought for burns in my memory every night.
The kust we fought for wasn't worth it's own right.
The lust we fought for seemed so out of control.
The lust we fought for only needed us to grab ahold.
So the lust we fought for wasn't lust at all.
Indeed it was love that made our great fall.
The lust we fought for keeps me crying at night.
The lust we fought for has me praying to turn it right.
The lust we fought for makes me miss you more.
The lust we fought for broke my heart to it's core.
The lust we fought for brings out a million tears.
The lust we fought for challenged all of my fears.
So the lust we fought for was the pain i deserved to face.
Indeed it was love from that magically beautiful place.
The lust we fought for is now gone up in flames...
Because I now know that the lust we fought for was real all the same.

a wormhole towards a new dimension

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

a wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime that is fundamentally a 'shortcut' through space and time. Spacetime can be viewed as a 2D surface and when 'folded' over, a wormhole bridge can be formed.
A wormhole has at least two mouths which are connected to a single throat or tube.
If the wormhole is traversable, matter can 'travel' from one mouth to the other by passing through the throat.
While there is no observational evidence for wormholes, spacetimes-containing wormholes are known to be valid solutions in general relativity.
The term wormhole was coined by the American theoretical physicist John Wheeler in 1957.
However, the idea of wormholes had already been theorized in 1921 by the German mathematician Hermann Weyl in connection with his analysis of mass in terms of electromagnetic field energy.
This analysis forces one to consider situations...where there is a net flux of lines of force through what topologists would call a handle of the multiply-connected space and what physicists might perhaps be excused for more vividly terming a ‘wormhole’.

—John Wheeler in Annals of Physics

Airly Beacon
by Charles Kingsley

Airly Beacon, Airly Beacon;
Oh, the pleasant sight to see
Shires and towns from Airly Beacon,
While my love climbed up to me!

Airly Beacon, Airly Beacon;
Oh, the happy hours we lay
Deep in fern on Airly Beacon,
Courting through the summer's day!

Airly Beacon, Airly Beacon;
Oh, the weary haunt for me,
All alone on Airly Beacon,
With his baby on my knee!

Land of Birds


Land of Birds, originally uploaded by maksid.

...Μ' απόψε, τώρα που έπεσεν η τροπική βραδιά,
και φεύγουν προς τα δυτικά των Μαραμπού τα σμήνη,
κάτι με σπρώχνει επίμονα να γράψω στο χαρτί,
εκείνο, που παντοτινή κρυφή πληγή μου εγίνη...

...Το χέρι τρέμει ... Ο πυρετός ... Ξεχάστηκα πολύ,
ασάλευτο ένα Μαραμπού στην όχθη να κοιτάζω.
Κι έτσι καθώς επίμονα κι εκείνο με κοιτά,
νομίζω πως στη μοναξιά και στη βλακεία του μοιάζω ...

Με το όνομα μαραμπού είναι γνωστά και τα μαλακά φτερά της ρίζας της ουράς των πτηνών αυτών. Τα φτερά μαραμπού πωλούνται ακριβά ως διακοσμητικά.

Επίσης, «Μαραμπού» είναι ο τίτλος της πρώτης ποιητικής συλλογής (1933) του ποιητή Νίκου Καββαδία, από όπoυ και δανείστηκα τις δύο αποστροφες από το ομώνυμο ποίημα

a parallel love cosmo-story


Parallelostory from impactist on Vimeo.

Spend a couple minutes in the multiverse and you may find it comfortable enough to participate in your own Parallelostory, which is just hip meta-universe slang for "parallel love story". But remember, this is only one of an infinite number renderings of the same story that your dimensional alternates will have already viewed, are viewing, or will view.



Or not at all.

macarons


macarons, originally uploaded by simply photo.

Ladurée is a luxury cakes and pastries brand based in Paris, France. It is known as the inventor of the double-decker macaron, fifteen thousand of which are sold every day.

Louis-Ernest Ladurée, a miller, founded the bakery on the Rue Royale, Paris in 1862. During the Paris Commune uprising of 1871 the bakery was burnt down. A pastry shop was built at the same location and Jules Chéret was entrusted with the interior decoration. The chubby cherubs dressed as pastry cooks, painted by him on the ceiling, form the company's emblem.
The interior of the premises were painted in the same celadon colour as the façade. Ladurée's rise to fame came in 1930 when his grandson, Pierre Desfontaines, had the original idea of the double-decker, sticking two macaron shells together with a creamy ganache as filling.
Queen Catherine de' Medici had brought the macaron to France from Italy in the 16th century, and the recipe for the biscuit had hardly varied over the years, but the amounts of the ingredients used and the appearance of the end product were up to the individual bakers.
Desfontaines also opened a tearoom at the pastry shop. In those days ladies were not admitted to cafés, which were the exclusive domain of men. This was a big success with ladies, who enjoyed meeting in the freedom of the tearoom rather than their homes.

Imagine! no gods no master,,,

Agnosticism (Greek: α- a-, without + γνώσις gnōsis, knowledge; after Gnosticism) is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims — particularly metaphysical claims regarding theology, afterlife or the existence of deities, ghosts, or even ultimate reality — is unknown or, depending on the form of agnosticism, inherently impossible to prove or disprove. It is often put forth as a middle ground between theism and atheism,though it is not a religious declaration in itself.

The Field Daisy

I'm a pretty little thing,
Always coming with the spring;
In the meadows green I'm found,
Peeping just above the ground,
And my stalk is cover'd flat
With a white and yellow hat.

Little Mary, when you pass
Lightly o'er the tender grass,
Skip about, but do not tread
On my bright but lowly head,
For I always seem to say,
"Surely winter's gone away."

Chandra, Hubble, and New Horizon View Jupiter (Redux, 3/24/09)

Chandra, Hubble, and New Horizon View Jupiter (Redux, 3/24/09)

This gorgeous view of Jupiter is from March of 2007. Still building older gems like this into the gallery. Hope this makes you guys feel "jovial." :)

Caption: On February 28, 2007, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft made its closest approach to Jupiter on its ultimate journey to Pluto. This flyby gave scientists a unique opportunity to study Jupiter using the package of instruments available on New Horizons, while coordinating observations from both space- and ground-based telescopes including NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.

In preparation for New Horizon's approach of Jupiter, Chandra took 5-hour exposures of Jupiter on February 8, 10, and 24th. In this new composite image, data from those separate Chandra's observations were combined, and then superimposed on the latest image of Jupiter from the Hubble Space Telescope.

The purpose of the Chandra observations is to study the powerful X-ray auroras observed near the poles of Jupiter. These are thought to be caused by the interaction of sulfur and oxygen ions in the outer regions of the Jovian magnetic field with particles flowing away from the Sun in the so-called solar wind. Scientists would like to better understand the details of this process, which produces auroras up to a thousand times more powerful than similar auroras seen on Earth.

Vanessa Paradis Coupe Coupe Lyrics:

Coupe dans la brousse
Coupe dans les bois
Just cut, hey brother

Dans ta main tourne
Tout autour de toi
Le fer de ta machette

Coupe dans la brousse
Coupe dans les bois

Just cut, hey brother

Un grand soleil tourne seul
Autour de toi...
La canne a sucre est mure

Et couper c'est ton boulot
Il faut couper les roseaux
D'ou le sucre coule a flot

Coupe, coupe, brother
Couper c'est ton boulot

La machette te casse le dos
Fer forge...
Fer forge... sucre

Coupe les murailles
Coupe la tristesse

Just cut, hey brother

Dans ton coeur, tourne
Tout autour de toi
L'histoire des jours de fete

Coupe dans la brousse
Coupe dans les bois

Just cut, hey brother

Un grand amour tourne seul
Autour de toi
Il coupe la nuit qui dure

Et couper c'est ton boulot
Il faut couper les roseaux
D'ou le sucre coule a flot
Coupe, coupe, brother

Couper c'est ton boulot
La marchette te casse le dos
Fer forge...
Fer forge... sucre

pale blue dot

If you look carefully at the NASA photo below, you will see a little white dot. This minute speck is Earth seen from the Voyager 1 spacecraft as it exits the solar system, nearly 4 billion miles away. The photo was taken back in 1990.

Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there–on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.
– Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994

All we need is love, originally uploaded by maksid.
..love is all we need

There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say, but you can learn
How to play the game, It's easy

Nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do, but you can learn
How to be you in time, It's easy

All you need is love
Love is all you need

There's nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where
You're meant to be, It's easy

All you need is love
Love is all you need
