Illuminate me from above


Illuminate me from above
let me walk a while in the sun
I’ve spent too many nights
with my mouth around a gun

Illuminate me from above
let me have my moment at last
let me live in the presence
and forget about the past

I’ve searched through my heart
I’ve sifted through bitter ashes
to find a sturdy part
a black box they find at crashes

I’ve fled to another world
to cut the cord that binds me
to this broken world
but somehow it always finds me

Illuminate me from above
point me out to the reaper
the shadows hide me no more
I’m tired of being a creeper

Light me up from below
if that’s where you want to send me
I’ve cursed enough to be welcomed
I’ve hated enough to be loved

Enya

Okay Mr Moon, by all means unleash the night. 
We are ready, our eyes are closed,
We welcome the embrace.

Enter, little star
you are most expected
onto our sky

Into our world
into our lives
into our hearts

Darth Vader Jellyfish






This is the Hydromedusa "Darth Vader" Jellyfish, or rather Bathykorus bouilloni.
It's a litte deep-sea jelly fish discovered around 2005 by Kevin Raskoff, and it wasn't just a new species, but a new genus! And for a nerd it kinda looks like Darth Vaders helmet, doesn't it?

Films I recommend

Mr Nobody 
A fantastic fantasy, a beautiful piece of film making
Favourite quote: Promise me that when I die, you'll scatter my ashes on Mars.

Inception
Epic, this will rank among the greatest films of all time.
Do they come here to sleep? No, They come here to be woken up. Dream has become their reality! Who are you to say, otherwise?

Hot Tub Timemachine
Surprisingly amusing, and amusing in surprising ways. Not the expected jokes, felt fresh. 
Favourite quote: You're married?  No, not yet, she's nine.

Green Zone
Well made and any film with Matt Damon in it that I can watch without being irritated that Matt Damon is in it must be good.
Favourite quote:  What the fuck you talking about? Of course it fucking matters! The reasons we go to war always matter! It's all that matters! It fucking matters!

The Ghost Writer
Cosy, though not scary or very exciting. More than worth the time though. 
 Favourite quote:  He can't drown two ghost writers, for god sake. You're not kittens!

Taken
One long action sequence, and one awesome revenge-movie. Gore-fest with Liam Neeson, sounds strange? Yes but it works. 
Favourite quote:  If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

Trees


Oh how I love and fear them
