Ten things I like that start with the letter D

Because the nice
ladycelia asked me for:

Decadence - The natural state of my country from it has more than 500 years (since we had an incredibly idiot king who started a constant crises, while marrying a bitchy Queen of another country, created a third one which has been an stupid jail for some few others). Decadence is the natural state of Europe as well, from it has a bit more than one century ago. To live in a place which is falling in pieces, like this continent is now, is the only way to live in this world for a person like me. It is a nice way to pay for the sins of our parents - and our own ones - even it could be nicer if our youth used a bit less ignorant way to suicide itself. OK, European decadence isn't ever so glamorous in all places like in Venice, but I think I couldn't resist to live in a place full of opportunities for future : How we could to complain and die slowly of those nostalgia and melancholy I love so?

Denmark - my favourite country starting with this letter. It is another decadent country (this is an independent one, at least) it means for me a certain stupid ideal of a certain dreamed Europe I have in my uncertain head. All it is even more uncertain if we face the ever shocking reality. You know, just in this I fall here into the topic of the Mediterranean guy who likes to daydream in a sort of Shangri-lah placed in the Nordic Europe, when the people has more culture, etc. The reality says that all those countries are full of their own ignorant people who come to our home to wear Mexican sombreros (dear friends, Mexico is 10,000 km at the other side of the Ocean and even there nobodody wears sombreros now), drink beer (why the North European guys - I admire so for so lot of other things - have a so bad alcohol culture?) and piss in our monuments. *sigh*

Dreyer, Carl Theodor - (Denmark again, 1889- 1968) one of my favourite filmmakers. From the silent times until the sixties, his cinema represents for me a getaway to a world of silence and austerity, I feel at home, when I want to be as if I was a monk in a monastery.

Desert - with the two frozen poles, my favourite natural landscape in the Earth. Are there something more beautiful and inspiring that to see that the ever changing dunes of the Sahara Desert ? (my favourite of favourite ones) It is like to have the clouds (my other favourite natural thing in this world) spread by the ground, the serenity and all that stuff. A quite scary and disturbing thing as well, indeed.

Dynamo - How I could avoid a so cool word? I love it, specially written in Russian Cyrillic characters (OOooOOooOOooh, visual orgasm :P)

Daydreaming  - The normal constant state of my mind.

Die Roboter - Made and recorded (the first time they did it) by the German group Kraftwerk in 1978, it is still being for me the best few minutes of music I think I have heard in all my life - and for me one of the peaks of the history of the human intelligence - and I am still loving each time I put it on the CD, vinyl or whichever player. I ever feel like a son of bitch, without to feel guilty for it. It is one of the coolest sensations, after a day you feel like the shit you are: you are a robot, a piece more of this world, an alienated and manipulated by the society piece of shit - as so other million people as well - but you are sexy just for being it, yeah! :P

Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Love and Stop the Bomb - Shoot by Stanley Kubrick and played by Peter Sellers in 1963, it is maybe the nicest story of love I found looking at the letter D.

Death - That interesting thing which ever happens to other people except you and it is so cool, thinking in abstract (Ingmar Bergman's Seven Seal and stuff like that, for example) but so horrible if I think in what happens really. It's a nice contradiction I have inside my brain, I guess.

Dialogue - One of the nicest inventions of humanity and one of the most rares to enjoy.

If you wish to play, leave me a note and I'll leave you a letter.
