Thoughts on Art in the Present Day

M u s h b o o n — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 10:15:00 +0000

I haven't really done a lot of my own artwork very much, sadly it's because I have no motivation to do so, and also because I think I'm addicted to using the computer.

However, I was looking at some images on deviantART and saw some images that to me, don't look like art. It seems as the word itself is used so casually and loosly, it's hard it seems for anyone to say what really is art, when really it seems anything can be considered art.
At TAFE I often heard people say things like, "that as long as you like it, and as long as it has meaning behind it, it's art," and sentences along the lines of that. I don't believe that is true. Just because you put two chemicals together into a beaker to see whether an explosion will occurr doesn't make you a scientist. I see photographs taken of something and yes the person may have thought about it, and it meant something to them, so what? It looks like an ordinary photograph that anyone can take without thought or question, and that I believe defeats the purpose of what art is. Art is meant to make you stop, think, question and challenge you (whether it be morally, ethically, spiritually, mentally etc), not just so you can go, "never seen that before." People who don't study art themselves, and who do not understand art often think that art is anything, and they can call whatever they want, art. However I know different now from going to my art theory and history lessons.

For example, you might question why someone bothered to put a pink box in the middle of a street, that is the size of a car. How is that art you might ask? It's art because in a street where you see nothing but cars, buildings, tar roads, traffic lights and machinery, and to see a pink box, you stop and look. It visually captures you. I mean of course it would fucking visually capture you, it's a fucking pink box in the middle of the road. That's just it though, that kind of art focuses on the elements and principles of art. It's focus is colour and shape, that was the artist's intention.

Just because you see something nice in the street and want to take a photo of it, doesn't make it art. It has to be more than that. I think art has become so "normal" nowadays and people just abuse it, and do whatever they want with it.
Although down in history and in ancient times people were strict and artists were men rather than women, at least there art had its name. Now, it's hard for people to appreciate it, for what it REALLY is.

Sick n Lovin it?

bingz — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 10:02:27 +0000

Was down with flu last Friday afternoon and I was really troubled by it. Tried self-healing, and having others to QT me, but it didn't work. I felt vunerable, in need of help, frustrated with all those sniffing and coughing.

Then it occurred to me that I haven't fallen ill for a long, long time ever since I learned Quantum-Touch! Before that, I had MCs quite frequently, to the point that I actually looked forward to being sick! (not a healthy thought).

Now, it just seems pretty abnormal for ME to be sick. That's one of my biggest gains having known how to apply Quantum-Touch. :-D

Another thought came to me: energy healing is just one of the tools to help self-heal. It doesn't mean that I'm invincible. I still need to take care of my physical body through proper exercise and nutrition. Maybe that's what my body was trying to tell me.

another precious lesson learnt!

Review #27

pygospa — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 10:02:13 +0000

So, my weekly review. What happened?

Actually I feel hard to remember. I remember doing something for maths, which went quite well.

Also I did a lot of cleaning but did not get any further. This is kind of strange, as I threw away a lot of stuff. This weekend I filled 7 bags of garbage, mostly old papers I do not need anymore. Still my flat is a mess.

And then there was a lot of troubble in company and some situations that touched me personaly very much. Actually I am really looking forward for my next semester. Not because I am happy to be at university again (after the second semester realising how much work it is and experiencing weeks of to less sleep, and having no time for nothing I actually are more happy about not having a semester), neither because I am back at my beloved hometown Hamburg.

No, it is because I am out of here. Away from those people here, away from the troubble I have. Just out of here, in a new area with different people and different environment.

And considering that I still have to be here 4 more years, that thought is really sad. So the only thing to hope is, that this situation somehow changes after I return from my studies. If not, then the only other thing is to look forward to leaving this place as fast as possible. Which actually isn't a nice thought, but sadly the best to do, when you feel surrounded by idiots.

EU no more.

det-res — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 09:57:44 +0000

I am putting an end to educated-unemployed. It is going to be determined-resident from now on wards.

The transition is going to be difficult, awkward and disorganised in the beginning; but I will get there. So will you. Some people who are so used to calling me EU are already fighting the change.

This is essential. For me. For my growth. For where I want to be. For where I am beginning to be.

I have been wanting to make this change for the longest time. I don't think I wanted to make the effort but some times one just has to. So I have. The profile picture needs a change too. That will take longer.

My determination comes from this post, an old college friend and the lack of change in my status for some time now.

magic of the word of mouth

Tomas — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 09:56:23 +0000

the rapidly growing amount of spam messages threatens the world, shutters our trust in written word... yet the word of mouth still has the power to unlock the closed doors of our heart. The faith opens the windows for the sunlight could defeat the darkness of the current ambiguity and the miracles happen - we are talking with one other till now, isn't it?

Apologies.

I apologize.

I wanted to spin my Gerbil around in circles when I was younger, I didn't want his tail to snap off. I apologize.

I wanted to have fun and belong, I didn't want to overdose. I apologize.

I wanted to draw attention to myself by cutting myself, I didn't want to hurt you. I apologize.

I wanted to masterbate, I didn't want to hate myself. I apologize.

I wanted to read dirty books, I didn't want to feel tainted. I apologize.

When you put it into words, you put the things you've done on paper - they almost lose their significance.

Nothing I do is insignificant, and that is or was one of my largest fears when I was committing these acts of self righteousness. Everyone needs to be significant in one way or another, and if they aren't acknowledged or if they can't see their own significance they will keep getting worse, and worse. When one loses their significance, it's downhill from there. There isn't a positive side to losing your meaning, your reasoning, nor is there a positive side to losing your significance.

Christine, you are significant to me. Yourself. You are alive, you haven't made the best choices, you're doing good for yourself now.

I forgive you.

I forgive you.

The Most Trusted Name In Tripe

brotherpeacemaker — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 09:16:29 +0000

“The problem with the media is not that they’re veering to the left or to the right but that they have an addiction to presenting two sides to every issue, even when the truth lies on one side or the other. I’d much rather we make our preferences and points of view transparent than pretend we don’t have them.” – Arianna Huffington, the conservative turned liberal editor of the Huffington Post.

After the grand jury refused to indict Joe Horn for the murder of two undocumented foreigners that were accused of burglarizing a neighbor’s house, CNN took an opportunity to listen to the story from Mr. Horn’s point of view. Mr. Horn went on camera to tell his recollection of the events that transpired on that night.

Standing in front of his home in Pasadena, Texas, Mr. Horn went on record telling the officer, “I wasn’t expecting to see nobody. Okay. So, I immediately…I went up like this”, he lifts his arms as if he’s pointing a shotgun at someone, “and I had my shotgun on me. Okay? And I said, ‘Stop! Don’t move.’ And I think I said I called…I called the police.”

The reporter, Kevin Quinn from ABC affiliate KTRK-TV, added the fact that Mr. Horn said he went outside only to give the emergency services operator on the 9-1-1 call he made a better description of the suspects or an idea of what direction they were headed. Mr. Horn didn’t even know he exited his home until he saw one of the men just feet away from him. Mr. Horn claims that one of the men made a move for him and he shot him. In subsequent interviews at the police station on the day of the shooting and a month later, Mr. Horn said the only reason he pulled the trigger was because he was in fear of his life. The story ended. The CNN newsroom came back on the screen and they went to their next story about people’s tendency for poor etiquette when talking on cell phones.

The problem with this “news” story is that Mr. Horn’s recount of what happened didn’t jive with the audio taped conversation he had with the dispatcher. Mr. Horn told the dispatcher that he intended to walk out his front door with his shotgun and kill the suspects.

Joe Horn: “I've got a shotgun. Do you want me to stop them?”
Dispatcher: “Nope, don't do that. Ain't no property worth shooting somebody over. Okay?”
Joe Horn: “Hurry up man. Catch these guys, will you? 'Cause I'm ain't gonna let 'em go, I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm not gonna let 'em go. I'm not gonna let 'em get away with this. I don’t know if they’re armed or not. I know they got a crowbar 'cause that's what they broke the windows with. Man, this is scary. I can't believe this is happening in this neighborhood.”

The dispatcher asks if he can see the suspects.

Joe Horn: “I can go out the front. But if I go out the front I'm bringing my shotgun with me. I swear to god, I am not gonna let 'em get away with this. I can't take a chance on getting killed over this. Okay? I'm gonna shoot, I'm gonna shoot.”
Dispatcher: “Stay inside the house and don’t go out there. Okay? I know you're pissed off. I know what you're feeling. But it's not worth shooting somebody over this. Okay?”
Joe Horn: “I don’t want to. But I mean if I go out there, you know, to see what the hell is going on, what choice am I gonna have?”
Dispatcher: “No, I don’t want you to go out there. I just asked if you could see anything out there.”
Joe Horn: “I can’t see if [they’re] getting away or not.”
Dispatcher: "I want you to listen to me carefully, OK?"
Joe Horn: "Yes?"
Dispatcher: "I got ultras coming out there. I don't want you to go outside that house. And I don't want you to have that gun in your hand when those officers are poking around out there."
Joe Horn: "I understand that okay. But I have a right to protect myself too, sir, and you understand that. And the laws have been changed in this country since September the First and you know it and I know it."
Dispatcher: "I understand."
Joe Horn: "I have a right to protect myself. And a shotgun is a legal weapon. It's not an illegal weapon."
Dispatcher: "No, it's not. I'm not saying that, I'm just not wanting you to ..."
Joe Horn: "OK, he's coming out the window right now. I gotta go, buddy. I'm sorry, but he's coming out the window."
Dispatcher: "No! Don't! Don't go out the door Mr. Horn! Mister Horn?"
Joe Horn: "They just stole something. I'm going out to look for 'em. I'm sorry. I ain't letting them get away with this. They stole something. They got a bag of stuff. I'm doing it!"
Dispatcher: "Mister, do not go outside the house."
Joe Horn: "I'm sorry, this ain't right, buddy."
Dispatcher: "You gonna get yourself shot if you go outside that house with a gun. I don't care what you think."
Joe Horn: "You wanna make a bet?"
Dispatcher: "Stay in the house."
Joe Horn: "There! One of them's getting away!
Dispatcher: "That's alright. Property's not something worth killing someone over. Okay? Don't go out the house. Don't be shooting nobody. I know you're pissed and you're frustrated but don't do it."
Joe Horn: "They got a bag of loot."
Dispatcher: "Okay. How big is the bag? Which way are they going?"
Joe Horn: "I can't ... I'm going outside. I'll find out."
Dispatcher: "I don't want you going outside, Mister..."
Joe Horn: "Well, here it goes buddy. You hear the shotgun clicking and I'm going."
Dispatcher: "Don't go outside."

On the tape, the shotgun can be heard being cocked and Horn can be heard going outside and confronting someone.

Joe Horn: "Move! You're dead!"

A shotgun blast is heard on the tape. Then we hear another cock and another shotgun blast. Then Mr. Horn comes back on the phone.

Joe Horn: "Get the law over here quick. I've now…get…one of them's in the front yard over there, he's down, he almost run down the street. I had no choice. They came in the front yard with me, man. I had no choice! Get somebody over here quick, man."
Dispatcher: "Mister Horn, are you out there right now?"
Joe Horn: "No. I am inside the house. I went back in the house. Man, they come right in my yard. I didn't know what the…they was gonna do. I shot 'em. Okay?"
Dispatcher: "Did you shoot somebody?
Joe Horn: "Yes, I did, the cops are here right now."
Dispatcher: "Where are you right now?"
Joe Horn: "I'm inside the house."
Dispatcher: "Mister Horn, put that gun down before you shoot an officer of mine. I've got several officers out there without uniforms on."
Joe Horn: "I am in the front yard right now. I am..."
Dispatcher: "Put that gun down! There's officers out there without uniforms on. Do not shoot anybody else. Do you understand me? I've got police out there."
Joe Horn: "I understand. I understand. I am out in the front yard waving my hand right now."
Dispatcher: "You don't have a gun with you, do you?
Joe Horn: "No, no, no."
Dispatcher: "You see a uniformed officer? Now lay down on the ground and don't do nothing else. Lay down on the ground, Mister Horn. Do what the officers tell you to do right now."

Mr. Horn knew exactly what he was doing when he ran out of his house. His story about being so frightened and so surprised for his life doesn’t match the conversation he had with the emergency operator. Mr. Horn made the choice to kill those two men before he ever got up. The CNN/ABC news article never reported these facts. So much has already been told about Mr. Horn and how he ran out of his house to kill his neighbor’s burglars that we now had to have balance and listen to him give his side of events. The only problem is that Mr. Horn’s story is easily refuted with his own taped confession about what he was going to do. Add the fact that the two men were shot in their backs and it is hard to believe Mr. Horn's story about the men jumping at him.

Reporting used to be about the facts. But the facts and the honest truth are no longer important. It is more fashionable to give both sides of the story in order to appear neutral. But being neutral and listening to both sides of the story is not always prudent or even necessary, especially when a killer already confessed that he was going to kill.

We allow this tripe called on television brought to you by CNN, the most trusted name in news, to serve as investigative reporting. But all it serves as is just more confirmation that the truth of things is being eroded away for the sake of television ratings and the false appearance of neutrality.

"Instant Gratification" - get the bang for your buck

JJ — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 09:15:52 +0000

Google ushers in concept of "instant gratification." Idea takes off and becomes an emerging market, and websites start to orient themselves to become "high quality" and "user-friendly." i.e. the so-called web 2.0 (something that should have happened @ 1.0 else we'd have never gotten the dot.com crash).

Is it just me? or is the United States surviving on junk and only now people are starting to wake up and realize it?

Portero.com follows in the footsteps of Google and makes money off selling authenticated luxury goods ONLINE by building upon customers' base loyalty trusts. Hence showing another aspect of Google's "instant gratification" concept.

Now here is a brand which hires people with masters and ph.ds in appraisals (i.e. figuring out whether something is really what it is) and sells that concept online. Look at Google, you type in the ****ing word and you get results within the first two seconds. That's instant gratification as close as you can get.

SBUX (Starbucks) declines due to customer demand for premium coffees - which is not offered. OOPS sorry guys, for $5 bucks you can only get a regular coffee. Yeah right, you gotta be ****ing me.

Shines light on an emerging trend; i.e. demand in United States is increasing for high-quality goods at high-quality prices. Or rather the fact that customers are starting to realize stupendous prices better damn well mean meteoric qualities, else theres no point buying it. - PERIOD.

HEY sbux! when your ****ing stock takes a dive from $51 to $12, maybe you oughta start thinking about that black **** that you put in a cup for $5.

Tag: Changes

gaizabonts — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:58:03 +0000

There is something about a tag that often irritates me -- leaving it in the infinite space to its own destiny. So when Amit, of all the people, wrote this interesting tag, I'll admit, I was a bit upset. It's not like him to launch a tag and not have a Houston to direct it, given that this is a nice tag to do.

I love tags; here's my version:

A short (and non exhaustive) list that changed, thanks to S (in no particular order): (and no, I haven't just blindly copied the headline from his tag, my significant other is also S)

A new taste for yoghurt's Indian version, slowly being developed to perfection
More colour in my wardrobe
That there is more to fish than the smell. (I think I eat more fish than her now)
Asking for directions, once in a while
Not letting logic infiltrate my every waking moment
That art is more than your standard idyllic village landscape; seeing more
Letting go; which also, I believe, I do better now
That almost anyone can be an artist
Seeing that Big B is slowly losing it; being objective about being a fan
Taking interest in the cosmic order in the world
Respecting your own passion, irrespective of world feedback

Given my fixation with structure and such, here are the tag rules: Write about the changes that have happened in your life, at least five, because of your significant other. Then Tag five others. If they don't have a significant other, then any one person, who has caused the change. Please don't leave the tag alone in the wild.

And here are the tagee blogs:

Happy 3 months...

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:52:40 +0000

Time flies as it always does. Our baby is 3 months old. Some nights he's out by 9pm and others 11pm. We've still not subscribed to any of the sordid books out there of parenting... still parenting by instinct, and I think it's working! The main goal I have is to incorporate him into our life; not change our life around a schedule that restricts us from going out to eat, visiting with friends, or staying up late. There will come a time though when he will either be able to fall asleep wherever he is OR be the type of baby that HAS to be at home in his bed to sleep well. So far he's the former, but I predict he'll be the latter in a couple of months.

I stared at him in his bassinet last night as I was falling asleep. It won't be long and he will have outgrown it, and it truly makes my heart grow sad. I had always said from day one that he would be moved to his room at 3 months. Now it's when he's outgrown his bassinet. I tell him every night to stop letting time fly so fast, but he isn't listening. He can hold his head up longer now and can hold up his chest when on his belly. He's mesmerized by music and lights, and he loves his Baby Einstein gym that a friend of ours bought him.

I sometimes think he may be lactose intolerant as he's extremely gassy (man farts, as I like to say), but it's nothing to stop pumping or nursing for...

I'm working on more days of nursing and less days of pumping. So far, he seems to be getting it, but I'm waiting on my LC to get back in town so that I can get him to weigh him and see how much he can transfer at this point. I'm guessing 2 oz... right on track for a newborn; a little late for him but better late than never.

We start the process today interviewing nannies for our son. He'll need one on Tuesdays and Fridays only as my job is just upstairs next to his bedroom, and I work from home. Sweet huh? I'm going to work 30-32 hours a week which will at least keep us from being on such a tight budget.

I really want a Beco Butterfly Baby carrier. Hopefully can get one pretty soon... just haven't caved on buying it yet... they are over $100.

Our son is making noises now. He sounds like he is cooing and enjoying life. He does a laugh that resembles a rooster or a chicken. He's grabbing things and attempting to put them in his mouth.

... I should have done this years ago...

ASSET FORFEITURE HITS HUMBOLDT AND MENDOCINO COUNTIES!

Emerald Triangle News — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:34:29 +0000

FEDS SEEK ASSET FORFEITURE OF COMMUNAL PROPERTIES IN

HUMBOLDT AND MENDOCINO COUNTY!

Feds move to seize properties

Operation Southern Sweep raids end

By Heidi Walters

THE WHOLE ARTICLE CAN BE READ AT :

THE NORTH COAST JOURNAL BY CLICKING HERE!

The federal government took the first step last Thursday toward seizing the nearly 2,000 acres near Whitethorn that were the main target of last week’s “Operation Southern Sweep.” The raids brought 450 agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the California Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement, the IRS, the U.S. Postal Service and others, who joined local law enforcement.

According to documents recorded Thursday, June 26, in the Humboldt County Recorder’s office, U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello’s office filed a complaint for forfeiture in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, on three properties comprising multiple parcels in southern Humboldt and northern Mendocino counties. The parcels all belong to the Lost Paradise Land Corp.

The complaint alleges the three properties “facilitated violation” of the federal code that prohibits commercial marijuana cultivation and are therefore subject to forfeiture. The complaint notes, however, that the properties have not been seized but that notices of the complaint for forfeiture have been served to the properties and to the owners of record of the properties.

The complaint identifies the three properties thus:

The first: four Mendocino parcels totaling 960 acres, which the complaint calls the “Juan CC property,” owned by Robert Juan.

The second: 10 Mendocino parcels and two Humboldt parcels totaling about 945 acres, owned by Lost Paradise Land Corp.

The third: Two Mendocino parcels of unspecified acreage owned by Graeson Prescott and Paul Sayers.

The government is seeking the forfeiture of several Southern Humboldt and Mendocino properties which were the subject of federal marijuana raids last week.

U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello filed two complaints for forfeiture identifying more than 20 parcels where federal agents reportedly found nearly 80 marijuana gardens and more than 12,000 plants during what they dubbed “Operation Southern Sweep.”

More than 450 federal agents served 29 search warrants in Humboldt and Mendocino counties last week, targeting what officials called a “large-scale, for profit, commercial business.” No criminal charges have been filed to date, according to the FBI.

According to United States Code, any properties used to manufacture a controlled substance are subject to forfeiture to the federal government.

The complaints first reported in the North Coast Journal were filed with the Humboldt County Recorder's Office last week and list a total of seven properties, three of which can reportedly be traced to an individual identified as Robert Juan.

I HAVE ARRIVED

neilina — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:23:45 +0000

Inspired by the below poster entitled, "I HAVE ARRIVED" which I luckily found on google.

Unknown hope perspires

in the state of abeyance

holding an empty echo

of the song sung by my soul long back

One day If I can remember the words

then I will shout to the world,

"I HAVE ARRIVED".

Lifeless shadow lingers

besides my body quiescently

giving out the mysterious power

of birth of nirvana from my barren womb

One day If I can make the shadow to breathe

then I will shout to the world,

"I HAVE ARRIVED".

Anesthetic dreams dwell

infront of eyes as heavenly holy mortuary

turning my soul into immortal phoenix

bridging me to the buried mystic power

One day If I need not give reason to awake my dreams

then I will shout to the world,

"I HAVE ARRIVED".

The Sound of Silence

uphilldowndale — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:23:16 +0000

I've been running around like a

(Ok so it's got a green bum not a blue, but you get my drift?)

It's of my own making, well most of it. There are so many thing that interest me and my default setting is to get involved, a more liberal application of the words 'NO, ask some one else' and the adoption of a motto of 'Never Volunteer' might be a good idea. I thought that after the fell running epic things would ease up a bit but the combination of 'end of term' school events, work and study deadlines along with dealing with the 'fall out' from the actions of a 'time stealing mischief maker' (I am showing great restraint here, but I really can't put in print how feel about the Muppet.) has gobbled up time and energy of late

A colleague has gone on holiday this week to a silent retreat, it has an appeal, a bit of Zen calm and tranquility; or does it, how on earth would I cope with 7 days of silence? no Internet, no text, no blogs, no radio, paper or news and worst of all no conversation; could I really hack it? What do you think, would you love it or loath it?

I think it sounds more than a bit scary, all that time with my own company, alone with my mind; goodness, knows what I might find lurking, I don't think I'll go there.

Excuse me I've got a stack of blogs to read, I'll put the kettle on.

What a total surprise. I got a call today from someone I haven't spoken to in 7 years. I didn't think he would still have my cell number?? It was Dennis. I've hung out with him a few times while I was dating some young guy. (yeah.. I know.. jugglin' here) Dennis is much older than I am, but we got along very well. I stopped seeing him because I knew he only wanted to "play" and evenutally found out that he was married. (Figures! His apartment was too damn clean... like he didn't LIVE there.)

Well.. he called to say HI and that he saw something that remembered him of me and realized that my birthday is a few days away. After all these years... he calls to wish me happy birthday. OH.. and he wanted to know if I was up for lunch.

Oh oh.. trouble!

I know what he means by "Lunch"

Damn dog...

Everything has an end

Everything has an end…but the worse that it could happen is to have that end when you expect it the less. Is when you lose someone forever, when death don’t ask you if is really the right time…like someone would know what is right time…

But then you lose someone that is still alive and that is painful still, but at least you know that is alive and probably happy. On one hand is not everything lost, I mean there are not hopes anymore, but knowing that happiness is there for the other one make you somehow to accept the fact, but on the other hand you keep asking you self why this happiness can't be on both sides? Why I can't be happy as well? Why we can't be happy together?...well, I guess some of us have the answer but we can't or don’t want to see it…and others can't see a why through it and here is probably the worse pain, you can't see nothing else then the dreams you've lost, the hopes that are stubborn and they don’t want to leave…as they say, the hope is the last to die. Thinking of that, some are stronger but some are not and occasionally you hear sad stories about people "falling off the window" in the name of a lost. Its not the right way for sure but maybe it was the only way of killing their own hopes. Sure, time is healer and it does always work, sometimes it takes weeks, other times years…but in all this time you waiting to heal your wounds you wrap your self in a security blanket and in many times you forget how live. Starting by losing maybe your friends and continuing with no trusting no one. Of course, from time to time you wake up like from a deep sleep and try to be your self and maybe get some life back…but in between you don’t know who you are anymore, you lost your own identity…so is quite hard to stand up and say "ok, is enough, I am gone be me"…because you "me" is confusing.

But how I said right from the beginning…everything has an end…and finally you find self out of your pain…then is when you are looking for what you missed all this time and start to do mistakes after mistakes…all this not trusting made you hungry for trust, all this loneliness makes you hungry for company, all this love lost, makes you hungry for love.

Here I will say please be careful…some people just don’t know the notion of love.

But don’t hide…go for it! The feeling deserve all this pain. And don’t forget…everything has and end.

ENDLESS

Recently, one of my professional contacts revealed some details about himself in our newspaper, thanks to a special edition we're currently printing dedicated to the leading people of our country and their habits. Among the various details we learned about him, we discovered that he has a huge admiration for another CEO he worked for. He said that this man has taught everything in his life.

The strange thing about this admiration is that my contact is now like a carbon copy of his former boss: they treat people the same way and they think the same way. They even dress the same way (they share a common tailor). They share the same wife. There's something even odder about my contact: he can't help talking without referring everything to what his former boss would say, and he has a photograph of his boss and himself on his desk.

I find this particularly odd, because I don't admire anyone in particular, and I can't understand that. But one of my friends has a little theory about all of this, and she said that it depends on how easily influenced you can be, and on your ability to take decisions (even the smallest one) in your life. "In this world, there's two types of people, the leaders, and the followers. When you're a leader, you can't really admire someone else, you will have recognition for some people, while if you're a follower, you can develop a true admiration for someone. And I do believe that if you're the eldest kid in the family, you fall into the first category, while if you're the youngest, you belong to the second one. I see that with my little sister: she's constantly trying to mimick me in the way I dress and act, and finds all my friends so interesting. If we're at the restaurant or just shopping, she will buy the same thing I bought" she said.

Maybe she's right. When I was invited to lunch with my professional contact, I noticed he was hesitating in choosing his menu, so he took the same as mine. It's quite unusual: none of my professional contacts has ever done that with me. Only my sister and some of my friends do that. Moreover, now that we know each other, he keeps on mentioning what I wrote in my articles, and if he doesn't agree with them, he wrote a column in our newspaper to prove me wrong.

I asked around me if people would prefer dating someone who's admiring them or someone who just treat you well, and this is what I got:

"Thank god, I would hate someone who would admire me and who would place me on a pedestal. I believe that it's easy to put quickly someone on a pedestal and then put him down as quickly. It's frightening, I think, because it's so easy to disappoint. We're not perfect" I., 34, said.

"Oh, I wouldn't mind if he admires me. My ex was like that, constantly cheering me up for everything I was doing. It really helped me to boost my confidence" J., 35, said.

"I find that extremely sweet lovers who do everything like each other, like dressing the same way. It's flattering, I think, if he's constantly referring to what to say, and can't do anything without thinking about what you would think instead." K., 34, said

So, would you mind a partner who admires you?
