This is the most touching thing I've listened to in most of my life. And god, I love human hope and decency.



You are asked to stand not on a question of politics, on a question of religion, on a question of gay or straight; you are asked now to ask on a question of love. All you need is stand, and let the tiny ember of love meet its own fate. You don't have to help it. You don't have to applaud it. You don't have to fight for it. Just don't put it out. Just don't extinguish it. Because while it may look like that love is between two people you don't know, you don't understand, maybe you don't want to know, that ember is the love you have for your fellow person. Because this is the only other world we have, the the other guy counts too.

... I wish it were in the hearts of all. So I be written in the book of love, I do not care about that book above. Erase my name or write it as you will. So I be written in the book of love.

Good night, and good luck.



I SWEAR I WILL STOP TALKING ABOUT POLITICS SOON.

:D? Help?

My penultimate exam is over, and my last one is almost a full fortnight away, and right now I am almost a free human being!

My first act as a free human being out of the silly compulsory education system? Raise funds. D: I wish I had space to get a job in between travelling, but it's a no-go on proper work until after January for me. But until that time - I pledged my younger cousins my old laptop, but the thing's really falling apart. I've got my own personal attachment to it, too, which really isn't helping -- but I really do want to get them a laptop.

So I'm damn well going to get them a laptop. I'm looking to whore myself out work to raise a small neat Singaporean-dollar sum by March next year, and was wondering if anybody would be interested in buying my ass cheap chipping in to my psychotic efforts? I do LJ layouts for both paid and basic accounts (my design journal being the sadly-neglected [livejournal.com profile] shifgrethor), and also small personal websites.

And if nobody needs webdesign stuff, I'm also looking to clear inventory for the sake of Ze Small Kids. I will ship to anywhere on earth for tiny fees. Really tiny fees. It's for a good cause! Help me make my baby cousins smile? :D?

Inventory clearing time! )

Please do pimp this post out if you think anyone you know would be interested! :D ♥

 

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
