whatever makes us happy

there are certain situations i find myself anticipating an exception i believe i deserve so well. but i'm not the only one. we all want an exception. this is the reason lottery companies make money. deep down inside we know we are prone to the disease or the accident, subject to the rule, choiceless against the ordinary life awaiting round the corner. but still: we hold on to our belief that the gods may look away for a second and grant us a moment of exception. we might be the special guy or girl who gets away with being human yet exceptional. we live for the moment of daily miracle.

PÖFFF !!! Bütün enerjimi aldın şimdi. Yazıyla alakalıdır deyu l'ombelico del mondo'dan bir parça mırıldandık, kuralların olmadığı, sadece istisnaların var olduğu bir dünyadan bahsediyor olması hasebiyle; ve fakat sen cynical olmayı tercih ettin, beni yerden yere çaldın.

Bu arada farkettim de yazımın yüzde 95'i (tabii bu ifadeyi yazana kadar yüzde 98'i)Türkçe olmuş, konseptte kusur işlediysek af ola gayrı! :D

ne demek efendim.. istediginiz dilde yazin, hatta italyanca yazmaya devam edin ki, sevgili arkadasim erkal bekir can'i hatirlamak ve aramak icin daha cok sebebim olsun. kurallarin olmadigi bir dunya guzel olmali, ama oyle bir dunyada yasiyor olsaydik blog entry'mdeki istisnalarla ilgili tespitimi yapamazdim herhalde.. bu da göbek deligini aradigimiz bir dunyada cok da buyuk bir kayip olmazdi tabi.

sometimes i visit my blog just for the sake of it, like the editor of a magazine checking out the latest issue. i look at serife's, ozlem's, and i go to mine. it's coming home in a sense. no that theirs are not familiar. just different. i believe with my girls we possess the same hearts, but we take different routes to self-expression. yes, i am away. blue is the dominant theme here where i am. at least for me.

i wore a black vintage-look dress. ozgur was so cute, and so was kursat. i love them so much, they made me feel so good about everything before and after the gig. we are a team now. just when i'm ready to go, i feel i belong somewhere. i guess that's the way of things here, i.e, life. some songs we liked doing and did well: smooth operator (it felt like an unplugged version of sade's, very cool) come rain or come shine (bluesy, soo delicious) almost blue (i almost cried, seriously) angel eyes (always) devil may care (i gave it a tad bit of melancholic flavor, i liked it) spooky (fun-ky) i was tense. in spite of the crowd who was there to really listen to me, at "my jubilee" as we called it. you gotta leave it at a height. i ended up taking a cab back home on my own at 2 a.m. the measure of just how lonely i am in this city.

Heisey

A famous handmade glassware company, Heisey went out of business in the 1950s but still sends passionate collectors hunting the Holy Grail of their own: the perfect piece, the dream Heisey of each individual collector. I am lucky enough to conduct an interview with a very knowledgeable and long-time collector, as well as lucky enough to be around her rich and beautiful collection every day, as she is my grandmother-in-law. Joyce Rohde was kind enough to answer all my questions. You'll see some pictures as well, although I'm saving the real photo shoot for a sunnier day. - Can you tell us a little about the Heisey brand? Heisey was a handmade glass factory located in Newark, Ohio, started in 1896 and closed in 1956. And the reason it was closed, and which has been the fate of most of the other handmade glass companies, is that it was too expensive – the cost of labor was just too much to keep producing the glassware. And it was hard to compete with factory made glassware. It w...
