THE EXPLORER

"Adventures on The Rhine"
Part 1
Yesterday night i spent some hours reading about the movie called The Fountain. If you havent seen it you have to. It's amazing, different, both visually and storywise.
The Fountain is a 2006 American science fiction/fantasy film directed by Darren Aronofsky that follows three interwoven narratives that take place in the age of conquistadors, the modern-day period, and the spiritual world of the human soul. The film stars Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz, whose characters' romance exists in all three time periods. The Fountain explores the themes of love and mortality, drawing influences from Mayan mythology. The film is framed with visual language by using transition scenes, light, and shapes. - WikipediaI love Darren Aronofskys movies, coz they make u think. If you havent seen his first two movies look up Pi and Requiem For a Dream. Pi is about this number theorist Maximillian Cohen who has a theory that everything in nature can be understood through number and if u graph the numbers in the right way patterns will emerge. .
And anyway, drifting away there for a sec. Ehm back to the Fountain, the movie for me is about the search for love and the search for "god". So i was reading about that and every theory behind it and the making of the movie. And from that it just kept on going, coz i kept finding these things that sounds interesting; Tree of Life, Padmasana, Kabbalah, Ex Nihilo, Biossphere 2, Tree of knowledge...
And on and on. Thats the best thing about reading stuff on Wiki is that u keep finding other things and you learn more and more. One of the biggest reasons i can sit with it for so long is that its also very inspiring. So you get both the knowledge and u get inspired, a win-win situation haha. I love to learn stuff like that.
The only sad part is that i sometimes find it really hard to discuss all those unusual stuff with people. but the most important thing is that i know what it means to me i guess, but sometimes u just wanna get it out there coz "stuff" gets heavy to you in the end.

CREO

I dreamed this scenario a week ago or something, really fascinating, I felt so calm when i was standing there and the moon was so close to me, it almost touched the tree tops and the light from the moon was almost pulsating.
Ive had so much time recently just to think about, well everything i guess. One thing i thought about was about people who are happy with there situation in life. And with that i mean people who are satisfied and have settled down in their life. People who live in the countryside for example, or in a really small town and just feel really pleased about life. I really dont mean anything negative about that, I wish i someday gonna experience that feeling, but right now i just feel so restless, like i have an entire world to discover.

I got some really good presents, a shirt, a painting, some movies and pencils. I also got a really good present fron Phoebe. She sent a box loaded with funny stuff; an awesome scarf, a book she made herself with cute stuff about us aaw, a bamboo lantern, a kung-fu guy key ring, a really cool bag and a "I heart my penis"-chewing gum bwahahaha :D Excellent, exactly what i need!

New years eve was spent with my friends, first me, Helen, Lopez, Max and Richie made dinner together and then we played Wii and drank alot. Then at eleven we went into the city to go to Emilias party where we watched the fireworks from Kungsholmsbron. Then after that i had a little mishap involving throwing up, it wasn't pleasant. But overall, it was awesome :D
