Kazim Kanat

Kazim Kanat öldü. Guzel insandi, eglenceli insandi, cok severdim. Tum Besiktaslilar'in basi sagolsun, bir abimizi, bir dostumuzu kaybettik. Aklimda hep onu anarsizmle suclayan Ahmet Cakar'a "Tabii anarsistim ben. 68 kusagiyim" demesiyle kalacak.

give me my, give me my wings

"what have i done to be a son to an angel

what have i done to be worthy

daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence

difficult to see with this light

please forgive this selfish question, but

what am i to say to all these ghouls tonight"

"daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence.

difficult to see you in this light.

please forgive this bold suggestion:

should you see your maker's face tonight,

look him in the eye, look him in the eye, and tell him:

i never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one.

hallelujah, it's time for you to bring me home."

vekaleten yaşamak

"we all feed on tragedy, its like blood to a vampire.

vicariously i, live while the whole world dies.

much better you than i."

ride the spiral

"and following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been. we'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been. spiral out. keep going."

Gökçe çiçek

"Bugün bahçemizde onu ağırlamanın tam zamanıdır. Bir kez daha. Bundan tam 28 yıl önce onun son bakışıyla yaralandık. .... Erdal Eren. Kurtaramadığımız kardeşimiz. İdam sehpasının gölgesinde bir çırpıda büyüyüvermiş çocuk. Yakın tarihimizin bir dönemecinde bıraktık onu. Bütün sarılmamış yaralar gibi hâlâ kanıyor. Erdal, bize bakıyor hâlâ." http://www.radikal.com.tr/Default.aspx?aType=YazarYazisi&ArticleID=898436#

12 Eylul

Bugun 12 Eylul, kalbimin sol yani sizliyor. Unutulmasin unutturulmasin o insanlari katledenlerin vahseti. Unutulmasin kanla insanlik kurtaranlarin cirkin ruhu. Soz, bitmis coktan. Insanligi idam ettiler. 28 yil once.

çok özledik

ağaçlar sonbahara hazırlanıyor
bu şehir o eski istanbul mudur
karanlıkta bulutlar parçalanıyor
sokak lambaları birden yanıyor
kaldırımlarda yağmur kokusu
ben sana mecburum sen yoksun

Ambient awareness

This NYT article talks about the current online tools we use nowadays. Some notes: - ambient awareness: A new term used to describe the incessant online contact. - "online awareness as a reaction to social isolation" : - Dunbar number: the estimated average number of people one can connect to at a time; 150. For apes, the number is 55. - Socialness through modern technology essentially helps the weak ties, not the already strong ties or the Dunbar number. - “weak ties” greatly expand your ability to solve problems, since your friends are so similar to you to be of much help when a new problem emerges: "outsourcing your life" - Dangers: Parasocial relationships, as with a celebrity? A common plague of Facebook: the recent ex. - dynamics of small-town life revitalizing: "So we’re going back to a more normal place, historically. If you look at human history, the idea that you would drift through life, going from new relation to new relation, that’s very new. It’s just the 20th century."
