Goldfrapp gig

Friday. Hurry.

Bus 25, O'Connell Street, Grafton Street, Harcourt Street in a hurry, a club door, an exceptionally nice security guy punches stamp on the inside of my right wrist and warns me not to smear the red coat cuff.

 I refuse the idea of double gin & tonic because the bars are obstructed with tipsy gay guys. The entire space is filled with slightly older intellectuals, ultra-young gays and some attractive personalities, and a few cabaret-inspired girls. We all trying to get as close to the stage as we can and waiting for Alison's golden curls to float uncontrollably. There is an active fight for personal space. And here she appears, a goddess in transparent voice, a princess in pioneer electronics and an ambient shadow primadonna in one, wearing a pink-ethnic robe with a glow of the fluorescent sun and no fear of barefoot on stage. And the performance begins… from the beginning, Alison sings "Human". Around the third line, tears run down my cheeks. And the euphoria, along with the music, floods the whole body, and all the cell membranes of the body vibrate in the same rhythm.
Alison greets the audience, maybe after the fifth song, but doesn't swear to eternal love for her listeners, overall throughout entire concert she stays in her inner trance and that is exactly why it makes my new big crush.


The lyrics of "Happiness" are known to all gays around and grinds their tongues into each other's ears and mouths, somehow capable of simultaneously muttering "how to find love real love .. love love love".

Alison tells in many of her interviews that her lyrics are inspired by cabaret, circus, nature and fairy tales

 And finally, "Strict Machine: At a time when the whole crew is performing on stage with unspoken energy atmosphere around becomes almost techno party, some girl comes over and hugs me and yells" OMG it can't be true! ".. Then I turn around and make off because I still can't bear to be touched.

Afternoon thoughts

Here's how I feel when most people turn off their eyes after five minutes of my luck theory lecture, though I can't even finish of the introductions. Every day like a big zoo around :) but it's all right, better than you think.   If others feel the same about me, it is all uber :)

Coffee in your cornflakes

Once I had a lecture by Professor Ian Robertson about forgetfulness, distraction and inattention. Why do we sometimes pour coffee in our cornflakes instead of milk? Why don't we remember how we find ourselves somewhere else? Leaving home with slippers, etc. The answer to all the questions is automation, which is the result of routine and loos of the joy of life. Despite the fact that one of the most sophisticated mechanisms in the world is installed between our ears, a normal statistical person on the way to work does not look around, he does not know how many and what buildings are around, do not look at people, can not even tell the colour of the co-workers' eyes. Most of our behavioural complexes are habits. It's like a soft which w e will gradually install ourselves. Looks like we look, but we don't see it because we don't pay attention. To sum up, we control only a small part of our actions, and we leave the rest of the controls in the brain. So we tur...

Confession of go-go boy (Part 2)

I didn't always look like that. Have you ever heard the story of the "Ugly Duckling"? Right now, you're looking at it, I didn't always look like that. I always lucked confidence, even I could win most of the time. But a lot of people could say I can, I'm good. These deep roots of mistrust have always paved the way for my dream to stand and dance. My dad chose my path for me when it came time to choose between dance school (Fagot - says - "not my son" blah blah blah) and architecture school, Until now I could not convince him so far that interior design (3 years) studies were like "pure" architecture (7 years). Even after leaving the parent's nest and twisting the nest for several months in LA, I still couldn't follow my dream - dance, because I was fighting the best guys (shit, I didn't have good body shape), I wasn't the best looking guy (I needed a little more time to strip my look), and I didn't know anyone who...
