Naci en Alamo

No tengo lugar
y no tengo paisaje
y aun menos tengo patria

Con mis dedos hago el fuego
y con mi corazón te canto
las cuerdas de mi corazón lloran

Nací en Alamo
nací en Alamo
no tengo lugar
y no tengo paisaje
y aun menos tengo patria...*

~ Naci en Alamo (Vengo), Yasmin Levy

*I have no place
And I have no landscapes
I have no homeland.

With my cold fingers I make a fire
and with my heart I sing to you
The chords of my heart are crying.

I was born in Alamo
I was born in Alamo
I have no place
And I have no landscapes
I have no homeland.

Mausam

Aik rang mein jeena jeewan ko
Ai janay tamana theek nahin

Ghum aur khushi do rustey hain
Aik raha pey chalna theek nahin

Badal jaye mausam
Khushi aaaye jaaye ghum...*

~ Mausaum, Nitin Sawhney



*To live life in one color
My darling, is not right

Sadnass and happiness are two paths,
To follow one path is not right

As the weather changes,
Happiness comes and sadness flees.

job hunt

i'm broke!!!

i love my new place though, small and dingy as it may be...being near water and the beach is great, plus i can enjoy the partial chicago skyline from my window. if all else fails, i'll sell my ovaries to pay rent. i canot even afford to buy food at this point...i have 6 eggs and a bottle of jameson in my kitchen.

i was opening up some old boxes and came across priceless junk...old stuffed bears, old photo frames with me and friends in our "awkward" years, old jewelry pieces, half of them broken, and all sorts of other trinkets...i may be living in my 12th home (so far), but i've managed to keep everything with me...i think that says alot about the kind of person i am.

let's see how this turns out...
