i like boys, but i do prefer girls,

once i've had enough of her as a girl,

i can still make use of her as a boy.

Goethe

it's a distich in the original German form. some good lines to romp up a peaceful sunday.

anyway, been down for stage it. and up on a birthday that left me nonchalant about birthday. and a campfire; it's always great to be back to the good old school, especially to check out the new boys and girls. there were the sweet darlings and man i can love their sweat. and a musical. a week that shouldn't have been budget.

what's history? it's the romance behind the facts. it's the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall. it's a Madonna that constantly adapts to time. it's capitalism, socialism and now is terrorism. it's Rorschach inkblot. history is the literature of life. it is seen through a rear mirror on a moving car, and only men of vision could ride a good journey. history lives; it outlives even the men who brush on the timeline. history is you and me.

and i should always be with you.
