E pur si muove



I suspect that this weekend will be quite different from last weekend.

The legend goes that Galileo Galilei was arrested in 1633 for going against church doctrine that the earth does not move and, instead, everything revolves around it. He recanted his beliefs rather than face the Inquisition but as he was being led out of the courtroom, he muttered, E pur si muove - and yet it moves.

What he was saying was that the truth is the truth regardless of what else one says. It's action, the motion, that matters.

Could try'n explain why I do what I do but it'd just be hot breath and lies.

Ah, there it is: The lies we tell ourselves.

Tonight I was honest, I mean really honest, with the Hazel-Eyed Italian and where I was. And hate myself for it. And tonight I was also honest, really honest, with myself about SX. And hate myself more for it.

Well look at that, I'm completely single again. Isn't that convenient?

As luck would have it, it's the weekend. Even luckier, I clean up real nice, have far too little shame and far too much rum.

But one more bit of honesty between you and me, just because it's late. And I'm tired and introspective.

I hide my ugly well.

So well, in fact, that when I smile, you only see the whiteness of my teeth and never the sharpness.

And yet it moves.

Goodness. Would you say you're a bit of a self-saboteur?

e mancan le parole
e io si lo so
che sei con me, con me

Not the same song, for a moment I thought it was "Time to Say Goodbye".

I rather be honest and hate myself about it than be dishonest. (I hate myself a lot of the time.)

Perhaps we should start a club.

But why bother with the hating yourself part? Isn't that a little pointless?

Yes, but sometimes one can't help themselves.

Honesty is good. But it does hurt more being honest with yourself than with someone else.

Why are you so mean to yourself?

Because I'm very good at it.

I hate it when I find someone interesting and everyone else in LJ land finds them just the same.

I bet I hide my ugly better than you do.

I'm Kyla.

Can one be honest about a lie? To truly believe it because the truth itself doesn't fit one's perspective on reality?

Newtonian physics only applies to our frame of reference. Einstein showed that what we observe depends on our perspective which is affected by the speed at which we are moving. Understanding Special Relativity requires that we give up on insisting that our perspective is the truth.

In the end, it all fits. Fear of the truth goes against nature. They may not be the ones ready for the truth.

I believe what you said with all my heart. It's all about the frame we have looking out into the world. Thanks for it.

o lo so che non sono solo
anche quando sono solo

yo lo sé que no estoy sola
aunque estoy sola

when translating into spanish i
use estar rather that ser
since ser represents some-
thing permanent; unchanging.
actuallly; perhaps ser is better.
i wonder if in italian they only
have one way of expressing "to be"..

oh yes, they do have two...
essere and stare..
the artist uses the permanent.

so i should translate as:
yo lo sé que no soy sola
aunque soy sola

i like this lyric too ...
i want to learn italian too ...
if only i was surrounded by italians
rather than hispanics; i'd be speaking
it fluently by now...you too?

i was honest on the subway (e-train)
this morning when i cursed out this
sicko hispanic-man who was rubbing
his erect penis against my hand.

this is the 2nd time in 5 months... he
wore the same, this grey sweatpants
as the other guy... then when i moved he
was rubbing up against another woman
from behind and i let her know and made
a scene in an attempt to embarrass the sicko..


at least you have a good feeling towards
the female species though... no?

i'm single too, but i don't know if i
could even let a man near me anytime
soon... i am cat-called and rubbed against
and objectified and looked at as a
possible accessory. i am trying to have
positive thoughts about men and in
the process it gets thrown in the trash on
days like today, when a sicko rubs his
cock against me on my morning commute...

i often ponder what love would be
like in a different city...

i envy the neighborhood you live
in. you don't need to pass filth everyday
while walking down the street. i have to wear
sunglasses and blast my iPod to block them
out and if god forbid i wear a cute/sexy
outfit the men get out of control...

i imagine what you were honest about.
it was about what you want wasn't it?
there are two in your pic; ms. left or right?

i was honest on my date the other night.
he got his things and left without even
turning back to properly say good-bye.
