Nobody knows my name
Page 12 from Paulo Coelho's Warrior of the Light:
Warriors of the Light always have a certain gleam in their eyes.
They are of this world. They are part of the lives of other people and they set out on their journey with no saddlebags and no sandals. They are often cowardly. They do not always make the right decisions.
They suffer over the most trivial things; they have mean thoughts and sometimes believe they are incapable of growing. They frequently deem themselves un worthy of any blessing or miracle.
They are not always quite sure of what they are doing here. They spend many sleepless nights, believing that their lives have no meaning.
That is why they are Warriors of the Light. Because they make mistakes, because they ask themselves questions, because they are looking for a reason they are sure to find it.
I've briefly started reading Eat, Pray, Love, which is reviewed to be about the author's account of loosing her "perfect" marriage and career and jets off to travel the world in search of answers for those deep questions, though during her narration she makes fun of herself. It's pretty funny so far! If you like Under the Tuscan Sun then you may like this book.
Ok- we can all agree that Michael Phelps has the body of a Greek god and was obviously a dolphin in one of his past lives. He's from Baltimore too. Ooo I've had my fun with those Baltimore boys. Now where am I going with this? Nowhere but to state the fact that whoever gets to swim with him in the right waters is one lucky piece of ass!
I watched Yossi and Jagger again last night and I wondered about a couple things.
1. The scene where the soldiers throw a techno dance party is interesting. Professor Hanson from Modern Hebrew Culture mentioned that raves are really popular in Israel and boy were they getting into it; that or they all slipped some E. The Tibetan Buddhist practitioner avoiding the superficial distraction, I guess, represented a resistor of the temptation (loss of self-control and a dancing siren so to speak) and symbolized a Siddhartha resisting the daughters of Mara. Throughout the film I found him to be the conscious voice during all the chaos. No one really listened to him but instead poked fun of his spiritual state (Buddhism is apparently popular in Israel too as it is here in the West).
2. I'm sorry but Yaeli was stereotypically a dumb girl. How could she have led the mother to mistakenly take her for Lior's girlfriend? Selfish, selfish, selfish! I couldn't help but think, "God what a dumb bitch." I hope Yossi would later explain to Yaeli but I understand if he let things be with the mom as Lior had left it.
