I Want To Be a Loser
77
What is your problem, then? Be a loser.
I despise competition
I am not going to fight you for the first place
It is too crowded
I am taking the last one
At least it will be only mine
If you want to score
Score
Take everything
In a match “15:Love”
I will take Love
I will take Love any day
No, it does not depend on anything
There is nothing bigger than Love
If you want to play
Come and play with me
I will play to lose
That is my goal
That is my objective
I enjoy the process, not the end
In the end, game is over
Fun is over, you have to leave
When you leave, take everything
But leave me your Love
Point Zero
When you win
When you are happy
Counting your points?
I will be happy having my point Zero
I am not good with math
I find it tedious
In the game of Life
At the end
I will lose again
I will be dead
I will become Nothing
I will become ZERO
But when I was alive
At least I had
LOVE
I did not have to count
Or account
I left ALL to others
I want to be a loser
One and the only
Having my place for myself
At the end
Nobody fights to be the first to die
I want to be a loser
So, what was your problem?
I was confused
I did not understand the rules of the game
The rules are always made up on the spot
Never explained
Obscured by numbers, words
That is the whole point
To figure out
what you are playing
who with
what for
Now I know
And, yes,
I want to be a loser
I want to lose my dependence
On your opinions
On your rules
On your expectations
On anything
I will lose fear
Of poverty
Of being ill
Of …
I will lose and I will keep losing
My speed with which
I was rushing to my grave
I will be there,
But I will be the last to arrive
Yes, I will be late
I will lose respect of
Others?
Death?
Does it matter?
Does anything matter at all?
I will lose all my sense…
And then…
I will see

I am so glad you like it. It feels so much nicer to let them fight for limited resources.
I don't know, do you remember chicken house - they have to be on one level or else there is going to be NO peace? Augustine would definitely remember.
The whole premise that we all have to win something knowing that it is only one spot... why do we even bother?
I wish you had the time to look at my "inspiration", not Augustine's story, but "Fine-tuning"...
I will take it apart later - too enticing to pass.
The secret to winning - get there first, play before announcing the rules and then write a manual -
"How to be a loser",
"How to lose in 101 ways", ...
"YOU ALL NEED IT",
"You deserve to be a loser"...
Yes, something like that.
I think writeronline might get a kick from my advertising exercise.
That was my HW for today.
I wanted to lose, I lost it.
I lost it all, even the energy.
I don't want to write today. What a relief.
NOW I can dance.
I wish you to have a day where you can lose something.
Neither to play to win nor to consider to lose is good. Why be caught up in it at all? Why play enough to sense losing OR winning? Why buy into the game of win/lose? But, if it pleases you . . .
And it's an impressive poem. Especially this:
"I will lose all my sense…
And then…
I will see"
Because, next to love, to see is best. . . in every sense of the word.
That music is hauntingly lovely, the illustrations sublime.
I've been missing seeing YOU.
I quickly read over, ’Fine-tuning’, but did not study it. The advice looks like it is aimed at the non-fiction, how-to or why-to’s that will garner lots of hits. Hence generating a cash flow stream – very practical.
Those are some attractive titles you mention. I like them.
Wishing you the energy you need to pursue the activities that fill your spirit.
Dance.
Nellieanna, dear friend, I cannot explain.
The comments sections is usually the best place to interact, but in this case - take from my poem whatever you can.
No explanations.
You might want to read about the Transformation, or not.
Thank you for coming, I have missed you, too,
and
I was thinking about you today.
Mike, thank you, there is nothing to study.
She is as dry as a toast.
That is a problem I believe.
"Come and Play" - if I can steal your line (but you cannot own it) - I would call my own business.
My target audience/clientele - losers. Yes, those who flood HP with their personal lives, poetry, insufferable prose and et cetera.
And now after too much excitement that happened after I have left home - I am finally exhausted. Still willing to write.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe not.
Wait, it is already today.
How I enjoy every second now
though I took off my watch).
Rooted?
Framed?
Right. The right solution is always the opposite of suggested by those who know.
We will go for the LEFT solution. As in "left aside", "left unnoticed...", "left as forgone"....
Love this. I also like those ‘headlines’ in your response to mckbirdbks, but I wonder whether something a little more quirky would be more ‘you’.
Maybe a paraphrase, like “A loser always wins”.
In fact, I think a paraphrase on a higher level might do the trick, (although, in becoming a longer line, perhaps it runs counter to the ‘less is more’ rationale you’re here espousing..?)
Anyway, to paraphrase Alfred Lord Tennyson’s famous lines, and infuse them with a little kallini-ness, I offer,
“tis better to have played and lost, than to have never played at all...”
Thank you, writeronline.
No, the word "win" should not be there. That is the point - even though you got it right - I meant precisely that - we win by losing and lose by winning. But that opens a ground for a debate...
I have an idea of cashing my "kallini-ness" or wonderfulness.
I am in the process of gathering info - it is tiring, but exciting.
I am assuming - soon I will be "playing" all the time and I will have no time to write.
Your ideas about advertising, positioning, branding (whatever, advertising is all about) - are welcome.
It was not about losing.
It was about reframing.
It's not a problem, it is an opportunity.
Now, I am going to laugh out loud - I almost said - have a nice d.... - today I met a guy from Australia - a nicest man you can imagine. He is almost a knight errant.
He asked me to share a cup of coffee - he was with two other strangers (a man and a young woman), so we were sitting having that conversation "Oh, my God!"
not in Rome, but in Toronto
I asked all of them - would they prefer to lose or to win?
The guys from Toronto said - to lose.
The guy from Australia (his name is Wayne), in case they hospitalize me for my "creativity"
said "I always win".
I said that I wrote a poem "I want to be a loser" and told them about losing dependencies and fears...
"I love that," said Wayne.
I am NOT doing that conversation any justice. But I ... I am really too tired - the Universe is sending ... my way.
Thank you again,
Such an epic poem. Filled with pain, accepting, acknowledging the battle is lost. I can't decide if I'm a loser though. I don't feel like one...
Haha, every guy from Australia is called Wayne!
I'm not an Australian, I'm happy to be here, but will always be proud to be a New Zealander. In NZ, anytime you wanted to make a generic reference to an Aussie guy, you'd just say "Wayne". eg, someone you've never met, standing beside you, trying to pronounce the name of an unfamiliar beer, you'd just wink at your mates and say "Looks like Wayne's having trouble.."
The beer reference is instructive. The top selling brew in Queensland, where I live, is called XXXX. Seriously, XXXX. Pronounced Fourex. I know I'll probably get flamed for saying it, but Australia's known as a country of 'wide open spaces', and up here in the tropics, some of those are between the ears...
FYI, back in OZ, Wayne will be known to his mates as Wazza, (soft 'z', not like in pizza). His mates are likely to have equally popular Aussie names like Daryl, or Barry (and be called Daz and Baz..)
If you'd like to get an idea of the local 'culcha', check out this hub:
http://writeronline.hubpages.com/hub/Why-The-Urban
Read it all if you want a laugh, but in particular the section about the Queensland Cane Toad; and Do Not Miss the animated story of Baz and Daz. Funnily enough, it's a poignant story of loss....
I look forward to your reaction... lol.
Hi Svetlana – my promised comment –
I have not read it for a 2nd time. But this means it is a highly successful poem, arousing extreme emotion of sadness.
I can’t decide if it is satire or melancholy, but it is certainly excellent in both.
I normally interpret the poet as well – not necessarily who she/he is, but just for rating – You are certainly able to project emotion and a clear message. Excellent technique.
Theme: I can really not identify. For me life is not about winning and losing, although we win and lose all kinds of things every day of our lives. For me life is about living and dying. I’m now busy with my 7th on this planet. Not afraid of dying; but looking forward to the next life. Perhaps I will then have the opportunity to hate competition. I love to compete, most of the time with my own idea of the achievable.
Presentation: Impressive and artistic, Svetlana-style.
Beautiful song. Awaken severe sadness buried in the soul – the amount of tears in the soul normally surprises the dumper. I will not listen to it again. I’ve learnt how to not allow music to steal my joy.
Take care, Svetlana. Enjoy your writing! And thanks for demanding proper comments on your hubs. I wish we could have done it like this all the time.
Separate response to your words on sharing coffee with Wayne:
If you were wearing red, or even if there was only a breeze blowing, then all is revealed. A toast to the man.
Separate comment on your reference to branding and positioning:
You spoke of wanting to cash in on ‘my "kallini-ness" or wonderfulness’.
The key in positioning is to encapsulate a uniqueness, in a memorable way. A powerful way to do this is to re-work a well known phrase or colloquialism; bend it to the needs of the brand.
I realise that English is not your first language, so I hope the play on the well-known phrase I’m proposing for your brand statement doesn’t elude you, (let me know if it does and I’ll explain):
“kallini-ness is next to Godliness”
:)
Augustine:
I have never been happier in my life.
I am at peace, tranquil at some moments and
completely
ecstatic at other.
I really want to share it with you.
Come to Toronto - we will be cashing our Wonderfulness together, cashing and enjoying it.
By the way you promised, Don Carlos, to be my agent.
You will meet Colin, we both will visit him at Lake Erie, swim there (as a threesome) or I can give you, BOYS, your privacy and you will give me mine...
We will meet his cats,
and what the hell, go to see NOVA SCOTIA.
I am not quite sure about the CULT you were talking about, but it is up to you, not my cup of tea.
We can have "the best match" and this time, I will test you for your sense of humour and speed of reaction. You claimed that you are much funnier in real life. I need proof. And I promised to scream, I will, if you still doubt that I can. AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS.
We can take Mr. Happy with us, if he will be so inclined to Nova Scotia or maybe somewhere else - he is a traveller or the knight errant (he is Don Quixote!) Damn, another one...
The song of the day:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTm-Q43ZQek&feature
If you call me on my mobile phone,
that is I what I will hear:
word for word:
==================================
Buleria, buleria, tan dentro del alma mia
es la sangre de la tierra en que naci.
Buleria, buleria, mas te quiero cada dia
de ti vivo enamorado desde que te vi.
Ganas, de vivir aqui a tu lado
a tu cuerpo encadenado
hechizado de pasion.
Ay nada, sin tu amor yo no soy nada
soy un barco a la deriva
que naufraga de dolor.
==================================
It has been my "ring tone" for over a year.
It is MY SONG, it has always been. When i was a girl, I wanted to dance FLAMENCO. I think FLAME(NKO) came first and then tango.
That means I will be dancing FLAME-NCO.
So, you know where to find me, you know my number.
My number 647-***-**42.
I don't remember the day we met online.
I am putting the current date and time
November 16th, 2011, Toronto (Scarborough), 1:50 pm.
Let's see how long will it take us to meet face to face.
Have a joyful day,
?????????! ????? ????????!
Writeronline:
I appreciate both of your comments, but I approved only one.
Sounds... awful.
What I mean, it is difficult for me to address your first one about "Waynes of Australia", so I will respond to your second one - branding.
But not to forget that I have to respond to the first one - i will keep the second one unapproved.
Yes, complicated.
I love your responses. I really do.
So, the only thing I can tell you at the moment.
I think my idea might actually fly.
I will have to brand myself - sounds horrible.
I understood the principle you told me, however
"kallini-ness" is unpronounceable.
People "choke" on kallini alone (even though Fellini - Kallini is almost the same, but there is this "a" sounds as in "car")
If you have to explain how to read - just forget it.
"kallini-ness is next to Godliness"
I like the idea, I don't like the words, it had to be redone.
However, you know what it reminded me of?
"Beauty will save the World" - it is a famous quote of
Feydor (Theo-dor, theophoric name) Dostoevsky (he is one of my favourite writers, "Crime and Punishment", "Idiot", "Teenager", "Brothers Karamazov",
"Beauty" - Kallini - kallos in Greek "beautiful"
calla lily - beautiful lily
Kallini - is the first part of my maiden name (minus one "l")
http://kallini2010.hubpages.com/hub/Names-an-Echo-
Look at the picture - the first one - a Russian Bride - it is me marrying the second time.
The dress will be red (I am not joking).
- Who is the lucky guy?
- I don't know, he may very well be Wayne from Australia.
I said he can be called anything he pleases even if for one day. "Pedro", for example.
I don't think there are too many Pedros in Australia. Maybe I am wrong.
Maybe I have to come and visit and see the Sail Opera House.
Maybe.
Same as with Augustine, I am dating this response
Toronto
November 16, 2011, 14:09
Have a peculiar day,
Martie:
Thank you for your comment.
It is neither satire, nor melancholie.
It is more philosophical, it signifies my transition, acceptance and understanding, a new level of understanding of things that are so easy and so "in your face!"
When we compete, we all lose.
When we cooperate, we all win.
You can read a comment that I left for Augustine, maybe it will illuminate might point even more.
We look, but we don't see.
We listen, but we don't hear.
We have forgotten (we were socialized into) how to rely on our OWN senses, how to follow our hearts, how to listen to ourselves. We knew it when we were children, but we were constantly told how wrong and immature we were.
That is what I believe. Truly.
The song? I don't care much for it either, it seemed suitable.
What did you mean by "I’m now busy with my 7th on this planet." 7th?
And comments:
I enjoy when readers tell me what they see, how it makes them feel, it is not about getting "the right" answer, it is about telling me about them. That is the exciting part.
Telling me how great or terrible I am - does not help me at all.
I have been through too much BULLSHIT in my life. Enough is enough.
And I made a decision - I am not going to do things I DO NOT WANT to do - because it is the same - doing it for the person and hating him/her for doing something I don't want to. That person will only adjust seeing that whatever s/he is doing is not working.
If a book sucks, it does not sell.
If the book is good, but still does not sell, the presentation sucks.
Or advertising or something. To be successful - you have to find/identify weak spots and improve. And sell this bloody book.
I am on a mission
If I am such a great/wonderful person/writer - why do i have no money coming in? Why nobody wants to read me?
That is the challenge and false praise will do nothing for me. A good advice may or may not, but false praise is just sweetened shit.
Thank you, but, no, thank you.
I feel that I have just met the most incredible woman. And I am so much richer now. Thought-provoking does not do your work justice, but you certainly have me thinking. I think at this point I can only say, thank you for being you, and for sharing you with us.
Thank you, Bella Nina, what a beautiful nick name! I am so tired of unpronounceable, unreadable nicknames. When I have to pay attention to every letter... Actually, I copy and paste now, but it is a pleasure to see the name that can be said out loud.
Believe me, there is nothing profound in my thinking. Winning? Winning what exactly?
We forget to clarify our goals, then get confused simply because we were told
winner - good
loser - bad.
Good what?
Bad what?
Don't bend your head - just listen to your heart and do what you WANT to do. Do you really WANT to compete?
Svetlana - no explanations needed; certainly not for your lines I quoted: ". . then. . I will see". I added my comment to it as its importance struck me. That's what comments do, basically,don't they? - present a reader's response about something that's been mentioned by the author which generates thought along mutual or personal lines. Yours are a pleasure to read and worthwhile to contemplate.
Nice that you give further reading references to help with grasping meanings. I will read it soon.
My circulation is currently less: It's probably no surprise if I mention that I'm reading more poetry than I've read since school, along with other mundane impositions.
I'm so pleased you were thinking about me.
Dear Nellieanna - everything goes as it should. I am spinning out of control, but it is part of the program being executed... I don't think I had the pleasure to meet "the programmer" yet.
I do not read, things that I HAVE to do are growing like ... something enormous.
But not without benefits.
Today - why do I feel that I have already said that?
Sunnie Day wrote my biography. It was the sweetest surprise I ever had (generally I do not like surprises), even better for Sunnie.
I will upload my last hub and I will be off to bed.
We will meet each other in the turquoise waves ... or under that famous umbrella with cranes...
Seems like a trip to Toronto is in order. I will need to pack for the winter, and plan to use my mind and engage in stimulating coversation. OF course, I will need to meet Colin, as I hold him in high esteem. I will bring cash, because I'm not sure of the value of our wonderfullness. You may get a better exchange rate. The cult isn't what it's cracked up to be, impossible to plan for the future when they see none. Novia Scotia; I would like to say I've been there. And, of course, to meet Daniel and visit his lions den. Sounds like an adventure...
Augustine,
I cannot say anything to this...
When you asked me "to accept", "to deal with it",
I did. I did my Homework.
Now, that I did exactly what you told me, you are saying "I am not sure in the value of our wonderfulness". You did not believe in my wonderfulness for a second. That is why I do not accept what others say unless I become convinced myself. That is called proof.
It happens to me all the time. One etape is finished, now it is another one with its own "challenges". I will be playing a game and it is a serious game and that is when most people become very uncomfortable. I do NOT tell you the rules.
It is a game, not a test. Maybe it is a test. In psychology, or anywhere else (you may not believe in cash value of my anything...) there is experiment that is the means of arriving to a conclusion, not only pondering and speculating.
In short, what we do is more important than what we say.
You were offered an invitation,
You know where to find me.
The rest?
Not my opportunity.
We all travel with a different speed, every time I ask my friends to come along, they would respond that their speed is more comfortable for them.
Augustine, you are the driver of your own life.
Wherever you go there you are. If Toronto will be on your itinerary and you want to see me, you will. If you don't, you won't.
What can be easier?
I have spent all this time on HP not to "waste" it, I worked on my "weaknesses".
Let us see - whether I have done it well. Now is the time to test the results.
Have a wonderful day,
who are u...........
u r deeply sinked in love.....
its not a loss at all....and it is called so is bcoz no one knows the rules of love game
i am totally emotional and in touch to u........if its writeen by u...i love u...not as a girl or a boy...but as a person who is in touch to god....
thanku for this enlightenment
Thank you, moneycop.
I loved the first one especially. "15:Love"... I used to play tennis. I was also very competitive in school. The system taught me to be. I don't compete anymore.... At least, I don't think so really.
Yes... This is me spamming your hubs again. Each comment is code for "This hub/your writing means something to me". Whatever that means... ;)
Maja!
You cannot possibly spam my hubs. Compete, lose, win...
Do whatever you like, do whatever you want.
FLY!
I lose with you
Thank you, goego.
By losing you win. It takes a wise soul to see that. Losers are always ahead of winners.
Let them win. And then ask themselves "So what? Are we happy?"
Oh my I think I found my heart, the music, the visions, the imagery, the words you've expressed. You have class and have fully expressed it here on this very hub.
Wow, I definitely need to read more of your style of writing.
I too love poetry & discovered my gift as a child in grade school or shall I say it was discovered by one of my caring teachers back then & who helped me to cultivate as well as learn how to embrace such a great gift.
You have a way with words that dazzles my mind into a sorta trance & after reading your beautiful poem to be lead to a totally entrancing song just topped it off entirely.
I wish for a second there I wasn't married & even if you weren't as well maybe, just maybe our words could make love lol, that's the kind feeling I'm left with here after viewing which is just amazing.
You surely deserve a hub award for this one, yes indeed. Voted up on all levels, because the funny thing is your word play twisted my view as well from beginning to end with the love spin & paradox you played with there. this one I'm adding to my sharing tools on the Cloud.
Thanks so very much for such a beautiful illustration on how to present a powerful Hub. Oh and thanks for reading my hub a well, its nice to meet ya Kallini your new found hub pal & fan CloudExplorer.
Thank you, Cloud Explorer, for your kind words.
I am sorry, I am slow to respond these days, I am simply busy with other things, not writing or reading.
I am flattered that you would consider marriage or at least leaving an application as one of my new friends put it.
I am considering marriage and there is one hub/poem dedicated to it and there is a whole series "Men are Buses" where I have "42 Marriage Proposals" - I guess I have to include yours as well.
It is hard to be a loser when others like me and what I do, but it is the secret of existence. By losing we gain, by gaining we lose.
I miss writing and I probably have to find balance... but that is a challenge.
You are welcome to explore my space - whether I am dead or alive - it is kind of my legacy that I am creating while I can.
I hope to see you again,
Good luck with your HP and life journey. Come and play "My (The) Game" when I find time to continue writing it.
All the best.
You said alot and I'm glad you said it. It was a poem that did more than rhyme, it made sense.
Thank you, tyra marieza.
My son surprised me the other day by saying: "Let's make the one who lost the Winner and the one who won the Loser". I thought... well, an apple does not fall too far from the Tree. The Mother Tree. And they blamed the Woman for eating an Apple...
Sounds like You had a long talk with Nietzsche before writing this. Indeed losing our baggage is important, in our own personal quest of becoming who we are. (That's just my opinion.)
I don't know about losing though ... or winning. There's nothing to win and nothing to lose - it's all perception. We give meaning to everything, in any way we wish.
Personally I could care less about winning or losing. I care about walking my road, that's all. A Warrior and a Hunter just follow the trail - winning and losing is for ... sumo wrestlers maybe ...
I appreciate your passion : )
May Wakan Tanka guide your path. Cheers!
It's tough when you can only see the words I wrote and not the smile on my face. Haha ... I do love our conversations!
All the very best, Kallini!
It was Mr Happy who suggested I read your poem and I am so glad he did. Your words just fit magically into a spiritual jigsaw puzzle that creates a very special experience. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Happy.
I don't remember talking to Nietzsche, but I remember seeing you today in my dream.
I had a car (!!! how nice is that?!!) and I was driving around simply for the pleasure of driving, then I stopped at a house, and I slept in a car...
I woke up, it was raining - I looked at the building, at the surroundings, and I realized it was the building where you lived (I have never seen your building, remember?)
And I was so happy to recognize that it was your place, not only, all the front yard had your stuff...
I looked up and I saw you sitting at a desk, typing something...
I felt so peaceful and I was thinking "Should I come up or maybe it was not the best time to visit?"
So, I ended up - ...
I guess I woke up.
Winning?
Losing?
I was talking about Buddhist Concept...
The Orange Tree... Remember? I forgot, but now my son is getting an Orange Tree for Christmas and I will be thinking more about you.
Well, I am off to practice flying.
Maybe I need to practice landing on a Orange Tree - I might just crash it and I would not want that.
Cheers,
Thank you, Spirit Whisperer, for your kind words.
Once I decided to surrender, life became so much easier. I fight for my beliefs, but I try to do so in a peaceful manner.
I am still learning.
Thank you again for your visit and thank you, Mr. Happy, for recommendation.
I wish you all happiness whether you lose or win or both.
Oh no, you are making me think. I will have to read this one several times.
I like the first photograph of the shell. The blue color works well on my monitor.
Leroy64, I have not INVENTED the concept, I only discovered its power. I refuse to participate in this absolutely idiotic race to the top. The pyramid needs foundation. Everybody cannot sit on the top of the mountain...
And it is not the position on that pyramid that makes us unhappy - it is more stable and relaxed at the bottom - it is the desire to be at the top. We were socialized into "wanting" things we do not need. We were socialized into "not thinking", "not questioning", "following blindly"...
That is all. You have all the power you need.
I asked a question about surviving homelessness and someone said "It's a dumb question" and I would say...
Nothing. Dumb? Let it be. I want that person to come to Toronto or maybe Moscow and be homeless for a while. And tell me the story.
Because I am not brave enough to be homeless. Maybe not yet.
Whether you invented the concept or not you have made me think with this hub. That is not an easy thing to do.
Thank you. At least you enjoyed the images. I love BLUE. And shells, too.
There is a poem - you can read only a poem, if you want...
http://kallini2010.hubpages.com/hub/Discovering-Bl
That was my very first one.
Then came Orange
http://kallini2010.hubpages.com/hub/My-Tango-Momen
And maybe now I should think about Green.
Let's think together.
I just wanted to make a quick note here: Orange is what's "in" this year: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100014240529702049
No coincidences. : )
Hey Mr. Happy,
I have never used the Wall Street Journal for fashion tips. I would not have guessed they paid attention to fashion trends; but, I guess it makes some sort of sense.
Yes, gentlemen, Mr. Happy and Leroy64 -
Orange is In, but it makes sense - it is the Year of the Dragon (even though it is a Water Dragon) -
orange is the colour of action and courage.
I love it. I already bought an orange jacket (even though the Sales Person was advising me against it - in favour of Blue, but it was not the same effect)
I said - I will take ORANGE
it is a Fashion Statement
"Here I AM. LOOK AT ME!!! I HAVE THE GUTS TO STAND OUT!!!"
Now, if everybody will be in orange - it would be wise to wait until they get into another colour of the year - the mindless people who follow trends...
But my orange is on the inside.
It is the understanding that counts - and in the midst of the Orange Ocean that other people would be wearing - I can wear calming BLUE.
What will you wear?
Haha Mr. Leroy, indeed I do not get my fashion tips from Wall St. Journal usually.
I prefer fashion shows actually.
Here's some Orange in Alexander McQueen's collection for this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIjf9QMbg_w&feature
Dior certainly has Orange: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j3VyIxScr0&feature (Dior's collection and the entire show for spring/summer 2012, was pretty formidable in my opinion.)
Prada joined-in on the Orange flavor too (not that much but I love Prada ... haha): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y7ELirvWDA&feature
Anyway ... that's how I get my fashion tips : )
Cheers!
I love the music..
Dear Mr. Happy:
Just because you are Mr., all the time I start writing "Dear" it tends to become "Dr." - almost like Doctor...
I am surprised you have patience for Fashion. I clearly don't - I tried to watch the videos and then I was "escaping" half-way through...
This area of interest is somewhat does not captivate me.
Maybe something to explore in the FUTURE.
Thank you for the comment.
Maybe I need to read on "retreats...."
Cheers,
Mr. White Wolf
I woun't lie - I have at least three or four friends who call me either Doctor or Dr. Dre ... there are no coincidences in my world.
Regarding fashion, it's art for me ... I appreciate some of the creations : )
Cheers indeed!
I agree, it is Art, but i could not sit through the presentations...
However, I have an intention to pay more attention to it and maybe write an article or two some day.
I cannot be for or against ART, it is an expression...
I am not judgmental at all...
It is all either ART or Nature and I love both. Really.
Cheers,
I need a drink. The ART of Drinking ... and Passing ... Passages... Pass Ages... (and this comment comes BEFORE I poured a drink... what will happen after?)
Cheers indeed,
P.S. My Spelling became weird lately - I manage to make a few spelling mistakes in a three-letter words. How is that for coin-CI-dences?
Coco the Loco
Self-entertainment.
I told a friend "I am Svetlana with a "y"" and he was wondering where that "Y" was.
I said "Y" as in "Why"
"Y-42" - I am considering this as my new nickname.
Ok, better have that drink, at least it will give me an excuse for being weird.
Nice writing here. I enjoy reading a different perspective on daily life.
Thank you, Vinsanity100, for your comment.

Only a winner at the game of life could write a piece of poetry with this message. The music was so graceful. The picture you choose reveals the artist within. You display a new clarity.
