I must do the thing which I am afraid to do.

Plays

A play is a lot like a movie - ish. But there are crucial differences. A movie pretends to be a recording of something that actually happened. In a play we accept the framing and gaps and unrealities of the production, because it's only a play. A movie is supposed to perfectly realistic.

A movie can be replayed over and over, exactly the same, hundreds of times. But a play is fleeting. Like life itself, it happens once; and no repetition is exact. Plays are intimate, human, private almost. You had to be there.

Particles

The world may seem like a million tiny particles, floating and bumping into each other, but it's more than that. The world may seem like a thousand rules, tiny points of matter obeying them, but it's not. The world is greater than the sum of its parts, and I am greater than the sum of my cells. I can do things they cannot do alone, not a billion of them not connected. I live, I dream, I make, I create, I write these words that you are reading now... Who says I am but a collection of matter? Bring them here, and I shall destroy them in a thousand highly imaginative and physically challenging ways.

Watch the world, watch everything. Never stop watching and never stop thinking. You are what you see,what you eat, what you hear and read and feel and taste and smell and - most importantly - what you think, you in yourself, about all these things that have and have not happened to you. That is the secret to life, and that is what you mean -

So far.
What will you mean tomorrow?

I love you

Replace an apple with these words.

Tony Blair

No-one doubts that the world's a better place without Saddam Hussein in power. But they didn't need to go to war to get him out. There were still alternatives. Or so I've heard.

iPad

Too big to fit in your pocket: no keyboard, so balancing the screen is hard, or you have to hold it. Awkward!

Doubt thou that the stars are fire
Doubt thou that the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt that I love

Wasting huge amounts of money on pointless wars is a sign that your power is waning. United States of America, watch out. China - your time is now.

Dear Dhar

I thought that I was different
But then we're all the same
There's nothing more that I can do
And nothing more for you

Sometime you'll have to give it up
You'll have to change your ways
But until then all I can do
Is wait and hope and warn

One New Year's Night you'll look up
And in the sky you'll see
A perfect portrait of yourself
Looking back at me

I thought that I was different
But then we're all the same
There's nothing more that I can do
And nothing more for you

Please try again don't break my heart
You'll do just fine don't worry
Even without trying
You can't help but be a star

Someday you'll look back
You'll see the turning point
Was when you looked at me
Then turned and walked away

I thought that I was different
But then we're all the same
There's nothing more that I can do
And nothing more for you

So try again, please change your ways
Or someday you could kill
With friendly words and an icy heart
Be careful one-time friend

Those shadows in the darkness
They prey at the weak of soul
I wouldn't want for you to fall
So join us in our call

I thought that I was different
But then we're all the same
There's nothing more that I can do
And nothing more for you

Come home my frozen wolf
My once-and-always friend
Coward maybe but still true
Please do not be afraid

I hoped you would have changed
That you'd got over it
But now I see that I was wrong
There's only one last hope

I thought that I was different
But then we're all the same
There's nothing more that I can do
And nothing more for you
