Aung San Suu Kyi, will celebrate her 63rd birthday alone, under house arrest.
This Thursday, Burma's democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, will celebrate her 63rd birthday alone, under house arrest.
She is now in her 13th year of detention yet she has committed no crime. She is imprisoned for peacefully calling for freedom and democracy in Burma. She isn't allowed to see family or friends as all visitors are banned. Her phone line is cut and her post is intercepted.
For the rest of this week we will send you an action a day so you can highlight the plight of Suu Kyi and the repressed people of Burma. Today we are asking you to send a message direct to the regime, asking them to free Aung San Suu Kyi and the other 1,919 political prisoners in Burma. Take action here: http://www.burmacampaign.org.uk/mtvaction.html
For taking a stand against Burma’s brutal regime, Aung San Suu Kyi is kept under house arrest. But international pressure keeps her safe. Aung San Suu Kyi asks for our support; “ Please use your liberty to promote ours”. Today please do that – send the regime an email http://www.burmacampaign.org.uk/mtvaction.html
On Thursday solidarity protests will be held worldwide. If you can, please join us at 1pm outside the Burmese Embassy in London (19A, Charles Street, London, W1J 5DX,Nearest tube: Green Park) find out more here: http://www.burmacampaign.org.uk/demonstrations.html

A revelation.
This morning I had an revelation, it might seem like a big word, but it's not a too little word for what I finally realized.
Those who are concerned, or should I say, those who will be directly involved in it, will be informed quite soon.
How they will react, I have no clue, but I am sure this is the right way to go.
It's quite interesting, sometimes I just "know" things deep back in my mind, but I am not quite ready to see them.
So they wait, in the shadows, until they one day, or night reveals themselves, and then everything seems so simple.
So, I have made a decision, which feels satisfying.
I am very glad.

First viper.
The first viper made it's entrance yesterday, not very big and he or she was perfectly still on the path.
It's their time now.
It's their time now.

... what a giddy mind can come up with...
"Wheeeeeeeeeen I was an itty-bitty baby my mother used to rock me in a chair, in that ooooooold cotton-fields back hooooomeee!"
(Just thought I would share what song I have on my mind right now. I am sure I am misprinting the lyrics too. It's a shame that is the only line I can recall.
Anyway (in that ooooooooooooooooooold cotton-fields back hooooomee") I feel so tired so I am kinda giddy and kind of drunk.
A nice feeling to start off the morning with, I guess.
Yesterday I discovered Jimmy Durante by the way, I heard a song "The day I read a book", it was a great song!
Now I'm looking for more, and wondering why I haven't discovered him earlier.
On the other hand, it's okay, I'm always several years after everyone else, I still remember when my cousin showed up in the most hideous pants I've ever seen and took my silence for awe and she said "Well, when you grow up, you can have pants like this, too!"
"Hell no" I thought to myself, and yes I did start cursing very early as a kid.
What I also remember was that Beatles was playing in the background with "Shlawsjo, je, je je"
and somehow I must have blamed Beatles for the hideous pants and stayed away from them until I reached my 30s...
Then I discovered them, with the same attitude as Columbus must have had when the Indians discovered him. I mean, he obviously thought it was the other way around, we all know that.
Some might say it seems like the lack of sleep is doing me good, I am much more giggly and I must look very satisfied with life for anyone who sees me, it's mainly because I don't have the energy to change my facial expressions, what bothers me is that it looks like I am kinda smiling even if I'm not.
I don't want people to think I'm some kinda friendly bastard, how can I explain that it takes a lot less (hm?) energy to have sort of a smile in my face than bring my corner of my mouth down?
One sure would wish to know. Or not "one", I mean I.
I am also pleased to announce all the things I haven't done this week:
Clean the windows. Check, did not do that.
Replant some of the flowers. Check, did not.
Write a mail to my friend in another part of the world. And this I seriously would be doing, since I am writing it in my mind almost all the time, but it seems like it's hell to just sit down and do it. Not to mention the guilt I feel. It almost makes me wonder if I have a mini-Luther in my head that truly enjoys this.
Anyway. Check. Did not do that either.
Clean the bathroom-walls. Check. Not a chance in the world.
Dust the things, vacuum the floor and so on. Did not do that either.
Rearrange my cupboard with the T-shirts in. Check. Did not do that either. On the other hand I managed to drag out all the T-shirts on the floor and the cats been sleeping on it, so now I need to have a full laundry-day very soon.
Did not have a laundry-day. Check. But I thought about it.
There's other things I did do.
Helped my friend plant her flowers.
Gave all her flowers out in the garden water.
Heard some really mind blowing stories about the Second World War.
And another one about ebb and flow.
Talked in the phone, the rare time when that idiot-phone (which I love so much since it's pink and really a cute little thing) worked, now when I found the papers that shows it has a warranty for six more months, all of a sudden it works like a charm. Explain that if you can...
Thought about cleaning windows, doing all the things I should do and felt bad about it.
Walked in the forest almost every day. What I got out of it is a knee that hurts. I am getting old, I just have to face it.
Tried to watch TV in the night but fell asleep.
Talked to the cats about how life should be. They ignored me as usual. I am used to that.
Wrote on the blog. Hm, strange thing, by the way, I am thinking about moving this blog to another place, but with my time-planning we all know it will take a helluva time before I get there.
Hm, I think this was all for now.
Talk to you later.

What would it be like?
Right now I'm waiting for the time to pass...
I wonder what it would be like, if we didn't have any time to call time, if we all just went on doing the things we wanted without thinking about which time it is?
Shops would be open at any time, as well as closed.
We would call our friends in the middle of the night, walk to work whenever we wanted and decide to quit when we felt bored.
We would eat a full dinner in the morning then go to bed and wake up in the afternoon when we would decide that maybe now would be a good time for breakfast.
