My little kitty


Before a cat will condescend
To treat you as a trusted friend,
Some little token of esteem
Is needed, like a dish of cream.

Mystery in Fog



"I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.”

Mini Expedition to the Secret Soldier Barracks

A short background... from Wiki ;)


Kaunas Fortress is the remains of a fortress complex in Kaunas, Lithuania. The fortress was originally constructed as an imperial Russian redoubt of the Class 1 or "first class" grade. Its gradual construction lasted from 1882 to 1915. During its heyday, the fortress was the largest defensive structure in the entire state, occupying 65 km2 (25.1 mi2).


The fortress was tested by war in 1915, when Germany attacked the Russian Empire: at that time the fortress withstood eleven days of assault before being captured. After the battle, the fortress' military importance declined due to the outmoding of its design by more modern weaponry and it was used for various civil and military purposes. When Lithuania was occupied by Nazi Germany during the Second World War, some surviving portions of the fortress were used for mass executions. Currently some sections of the fortress have been restored to their original form and the IX Fort houses a museum and memorial devoted to the victims of mass executions that took place there during World War II.

...No forgiveness for all...

November in Lithuania

Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
~Chinese Proverb


The 1st of November.
All Saints Day.
I was wandering in the streets of Kaunas.




1000s of candles for the forgotten ones.

We, humans, are nothing. Who cares if we are dead or alive? The ones who are remembered today -- they will be forgotten tomorrow.

I Like The Way

"I Like The Way"

By Darren Hayes




Somewhere inside my evolution

Karmically I seek retribution
Looking for love in physical beauty
Desire is the drug of the bourgeoisie
And now I try to intellectualize
Like a glimmer of good in a bad man's eyes
I am consumed by the flesh haunting me
I know temptation taunts the empty

So pour yourself over me

Until there's nothing left to see, yeah yeah
Because I like the way you move in the dark
I like the tension, the tension and the spark

The decadence of giving into desire

Creates such entropy within
Looking for love in spiritual faces
Blind to the art of fabrication
I'm like a baby sucking mama's milk
Want to drink my fill and then some
Leave me alone
I always thought I was better than this
But temptation tempts the temptee

Pour yourself over me

Until there's nothing left to see, yeah yeah
Oh, because I like the way you move in the dark
And I like the tension, the tension and the spark, oh
Because I like the way you move in the dark, oh
You know I like the tension, the tension
and, the tension and the spark, oh

This physicality
Shifting me chemically
Such power over me
It's just desire
I know it's treachery (shifting me chemically)
I know it's just skin deep (such power over me)
I know I should resist
I'm just too tired

Too tired

There's just one thing missing
One thing missing here is
Love


I like the way you move in the dark
I like the tension, the tension and the spark (so pour yourself over me)
You know, I like the way you move in the dark (so pour yourself over me)
You know, I like the tension, the tension and, the tension and the spark

So pour yourself over me
(There's just one thing missing)
(One thing missing)
Until there's nothing left to see
(There's just one thing missing)
(The tension and the spark)
(One thing missing)
(So pour yourself over me)

There's just one thing missing
One thing missing
(So pour yourself over me)
(I like the tension, the tension and the spark)
(There's just one thing missing)

One thing missing here is...
Love
