HEART OF GLASS

Once I had a love and it was a gas

Soon turned out had a heart of glass

Seemed like the real thing, only to find

Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine

Soon found out I was losing my mind

It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind

Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between

What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine

Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind

If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good

You teasing like you do

(...)

Once I had a love and it was divine

Soon found out I was losing my mind

It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind

Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Lost inside

Adorable illusion and I cannot hide

I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside

We coulda made it cruising, yeah

Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

(...)

NIGHTMARES... #2

In 2000, in the painting Waiting for God, I used for the first time a pin with a logo like a motive for my painting. This logo come from Aphex Twin aka Richard David James, an electronic musician and dj.

I decided to put this motive in my painting after watching Come to Daddy, the orgiastic mind-fuck video directed by Chris Cunningham in 1997 to the music of Aphex Twin.

To see it go to: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Az_7U0-cK0

Aphex Twin's logo was created, not by Dan Parkes as some sources assert, but by designer Paul "Terratag" Nicholson in 1992. Nicholson: "Dan Parkes was the illustrator of the artwork that appeared on the "Ventolin" release. A s far as I know, that is the only artwork that Dan created for Richard. A little piece of trivia about the logo: at the time I met Richard, I had being doing artwork for a San Francisco-based skatewear label called Anarachic Adjustment. Their 'thing' at the time had been the whole "alien" vibe (remember, we are talking 1991). So, I had been creating loads of designs based around the letter 'A' which got knocked back. Richard, having seen the work in progress, liked where I was going with the amorphic shape and from these I developed what is now the Aphex 'A.' The logo was finished early 1992, in time to appear on the "Xylem Tube" sleeve." (1)

Evil needs to be pondered just as much as good, for good and evil are ultimately nothing but ideal extensions and abstractions of doing, and both belong to the chiaroscuro of life.

NIGHTMARES... #1

No outro dia fui ao meu clube de video com a intenção de alugar o dvd do filme Shortbus (2006) escrito e realizado por John Cameron Mitchell. Queria revê-lo, sofria de ennui gripal era de tarde e não me apetecia fazer nada.
-Estava fora! - disse a menina. E provavelmente não voltaria, já estava fora há muito tempo.
Voltei para casa a pensar nas palavras de Susannah Breslin no seu blog; http://www.reversecowgirlblog.blogspot.com/

I've seen all kinds of porn - mainstream porn, altporn, feminist porn, fetish porn, midget porn. In my opinion, porn is porn. Porn is a movie in which people are fucking, period. You can call it what you want, and spin it how you will, but at the end of the day you're watching people fuck for show, for money, for a living. Porn is a pretty rough trade, and no amount of spin can doctor that fact.

Restou-me, apenas, chegar a casa fazer um charuto e passar o resto da tarde a ouvir a Nazi Girlfriend do Iggy Pop:

I want to fuck her on the floor
Among my books of ancient lore
So I will make a full report
I got a Nazi Girlfriend

POSTCARDS FROM... #1

Berlin 2008 - photos by José Elói

In Berlin, by the wall

you were five foot ten inches tall

It was very nice

candlelight and Dubonnet on ice

We were in a small cafe

you could hear the guitars play

It was very nice

it was paradise

You're right and I'm wrong

hey babe, I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone

One sweet day

You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me waiting through spring and summer
You will find me waiting for the fall
You will find me waiting for the apples to riped
You will find me waiting for them to fall
You will find me by the banks of all four rivers
You will find me at the spring of consciouness
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
