hikkaduwa

hejhej! tankte forsoka mig pa ett litet inlagg har.. nu ar vi alltsa i hikkaduwa sen en vecka tillbaka ganska precis. flygresan gick bra. hade tre saten sjalv till london men darifran till colombo var det jobbigare. var jattetrangt och ett ganska skruttigt plan. kunde inte sova alls pa den 11 h langa resan men jag satt bredvid en kille fran london som skulle aka och dj:a i sri lanka pa nagra festivaler sa vi satt och diskuterade the xx efter att han sett att jag lyssnat pa det pa min ipod. nar jag kom fram fick jag vanta en timma pa ida, karin och pao som kom fran indien innan vi tog en taxi hit. tog ca 5 timmar sa det var lite jobbigt ocksa eftersom det var sa varmt. nu har dock vadret vant och det regnar och askar och blixtrar sen nagra dagar tillbaka. lyckades trots detta branna mig lite i ansiktet igar (bara lite..). jag tror att det ska bli battre vader nasta vecka sa vi hoppas pa det.

makes me think

Today, a student of mine with Down Syndrome was dancing all by herself at the 8th grade dance. And just as other students began to laugh at her, one of the most popular boys in the school got up and danced with her for the remainder of the evening. MMT

Today, he ran 3 consecutive red lights and didn’t stop when I put on my patrol car’s lights. I followed him all the way across town to the hospital with the intention of arresting him. He stopped and ran inside, ignoring my calls to surrender. I ran after him, into the emergency room, where his 4-year-old son was bleeding to death after being hit by a car. I said a prayer and walked away. MMT

Today, my boyfriend was trying to pass me a note in homeroom class. Our teacher caught him and confiscated the note. She took the note back to her desk, read it, smiled, and then came back and gave it to me. The note read, “I love you. You look beautiful today.” My boyfriend’s kindness and my teacher’s compassion for love MMT

growing up

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band – The River - Live 

When I was growin’ up me and my dad used to go at it all the time, over almost anything. I used to have really long hair, way down past my shoulders. I was 17 or 18, oh man he used to hate it. And we got to where we’d fight so much that I’d spend a lot of time out of the house. 

  And in the summertime it wasn’t so bad, ‘cause it was warm and your friends were out, but in the winter... I remember standin’ down town and it would get so cold. And, when the wind would blow I had this phone booth I used to stand in. And I used to call my girl, like for hours at a time, just talkin’ to her all night long. And finally I’d get my nerve up to go home, and I’d stand there in the driveway, and he’d be waitin’ for me in the kitchen. And I’d tuck my hair down into my collar, and I’d walk in, and he’d call me back to sit down with him... And the first thing he’d always ask me was; “What did I think I was doin’ with my self”? And the worst part about it, was that I could never explain it to him... 

  I remember I got in a motorcycle accident once, and I was laid up in bed and he had a barber come in and cut my hair... And man... I can remember tellin’ him that I hated him, and that I would never ever forget it. And he used to tell me; “Man I can’t wait till the army gets you. When the army gets you, they’re gonna’ make a man out of you. They’re gonna’ cut all that hair of and they’ll make a man out of you”.

  And this was in, I guess ’68, when there was a lot of guys from the neighbourhood goin’ to Vietnam. I remember the drummer in my first band, commin’ over to my house, with he’s marine uniform on, sayin’ that he was goin’ and that he didn’t know where it was... And a lot of guys went, and a lot of guys didn’t come back. And the lot that came back, weren’t the same anymore...

  I remember the day I got my draft notice... I hid it from my folks, and three days before my physical, me and my friends went out, and we stayed up all night. When we got on the bus to go that mornin’, man, we were all so scared... And I went... And I failed... I came home... (Applauds)... It’s nothin’ to applaud about... But I remember commin’ home, after I’d been gone for three days, and walkin’ in the kitchen and my mother father were sittin’ there.

My dad said; 'Where’ve you been?'

I said; 'Ehhh... I went to take my physical!' 

He says; 'What happened?'

I said; 'They didn’t take me!'

And he said; 'That’s good...'"
