No thank you for having a platinum tooth! I dont feel so alone now.
First they removed summer and replaced it with fall.... then on Monday they removed the 8 in my "age" window and replaced it with a 9....
I wonder what it all means.

No.. I wasnt a part of that castle scene. yikes. I went rogue from the strict traditional code of servitude. I can think for myself and serve honor before a master. Although, I have to say.. work is necessary. I will glady serve an employer if the coin is good and the cause is just. I'm thinking mercenary work..or even bodyguard jobs for the local kind hearted mechants. I will serve that type loyally to my very end. No more tin god shoguns for me.
Thank you for the birthday greeting. It made my day. I see you havent been online for a spell. You've had alot to do.. busy, eh? I just hope all the events keeping you away were not negative in nature. I wish you well. Take is easy.. and thanks again.

Last week they removed summer without warning and replaced it with some fall, complete with cold rain and storms.

I spent most of time far away from internet and its fabulous online communities for most of the last days, and I was so busy I didn't even thought of something poetry-related to post on Wednesday.... rendez-vous next Wednesday for more poetic postings?

A little time off once in a while is very pleasant. Sounds like you should have a holiday being busy like that

I'd love to hear even more poetry from you Tororo. I am fond of that last one. Do you know of any with an Autumn theme..? I have a love affair with that season. A poem celebrating it would be a treat.
Poetry day!
As I proved several times being unable to write a single verse worth reading (neither in English nor in French), I'll post a poem I love. It's by Giacomo Leopardi (from Il Zibaldone).
As I have a fondness for the French prose translation done by poet Ren Char, I'll post it too... for benefit of hypothetic french-reading visitors!

I ran both the Italian & French versions thru the machine--the Italian version was, well, still mostly in Italian, but the French one went thru okay, altho not quite as elegant as the (uncredited) version you've included:
The infinity
Still pleased me this hill so only and this hedge that, by so many lengths, steal the horizon.
But when I sit down to look at it, by my thought create themselves beyond her of interminable spaces, of the silences surhmains, a very deep peace; where almost my heart is afraid. And when I hear wind to murmur in the plants, I go comparing the infinity of this silence to this voice, and remember of the eternal, the dead seasons, and the one present and living, and of his/her/its swish. So in this immensity is annihilated my thought: and naufrager I am soft in this sea.

the latest update in my profile was inspired by a recent entry in ratsonjulia's journal... Guess?

wow - reservoir dogs fish names is a very good idea. it's oddly turning out that the pink guy is the boss of the tank, so there could be some cool movie character/fish personality correlation.
i agree about the tattoo thing. i mean a small tattoo is hardly as cool as a platinum tooth, but i have to start somewhere

Whew, yeah that can't be fun over there. It's horribly hot where I am in Wisconsin right now and I can barely take THIS. lol and yeh the paper sure knows how to write headlines......not. Hope everything cools down sooon.
The northern skyline is blurred with something grayish that looks a bit like mist, only darker. Everytime a door or a window is opened, the pungent stench breaks in. There are remnants of the smell of resin in it, but judging from its bitterness a great many things are burning together and not only pines this time.

Last time I updated my journal was for sharing with you all folks important informations about the weather...
I did tell you the heat had become, for the fist day in a long row, somehow bearable. Forget it, it's again exactly as hot now as it was before..

all this room to express ourselves and all we do is make faces? ... it really does make its own statement doesn't it?
Some days ago was celebrated Saint Eugne's feast, and my father got some new presents.... (yes, my father's first name is Eugne; no, he's not from Oregon)... among these was a bottle Matusalem brand Cuban rum. I opened it for him, and we exchanged totally predictable jokes you imagine easily....
