the mote in gad's eye

2011-04-15T18:33:00.001+03:00

People with a big heart
need giant Band-Aids.

I want a ticket to anywhere

2011-01-15T23:19:00.001+02:00

I believe everyone can make their own path,
By themselves.

All you have to do is just go for it, and good things will happen.
Nothing happens on its own.

hate / love

2010-12-16T21:55:00.001+02:00

It is amazing to me how thin the line between love and hate can be.

Sometimes so thin, that it eludes the eye, making the observer unsure of what he sees.

And mistakes are easily made when your line of sight is obscured.

"Flowers on the hillside, bloomin’ crazy
Crickets talkin’ back and forth in rhyme
Blue river runnin’ slow and lazy
I could stay with you forever and never realize the time"

Love is the most painful feeling.

balance

2010-08-03T20:17:00.000+03:00

I've been trying to keep my balance for the past few week.

There is a certain diapason to life, which can catch me off guard and surprised at times.
Just when I think nothing can go any worse - it does.
When the bad times pass, I am washed with waves of true happiness.

Like a huge pendulum that hurdles me hither and thither,
Life shows me what it's all about - over and over again.

It's about keeping a balance between to good times and the bad.
It's about knowing that right after those rainy days,
Summer comes, and I can go to the beach.

i looked in the mirror today

2010-07-16T23:20:00.003+03:00

I looked in the mirror today

My eyes just didn't seem so bright

I've lost a few more hairs
I think I'm going bald

I think I'm going bald

Seems like only yesterday
We would sit and talk of dreams all night
Dreams of youth
And simple truths
Now we're so involved
So involved with life

Walk down vanity fair
Memory lane everywhere
Wall Street shuffles there
Dressed in flowing hair

Once we loved the flowers
Now we ask the price of the land
Once we would take water
But now it must be wine
Now we've been
And now we've seen
What price peace of mind

Take a piece of my mind

My life is slipping away
I'm aging every day
But even when I'm grey
I'll still be grey my way

Rush, Ithink I'm going bald

best feeling ever

2010-06-26T23:17:00.002+03:00

I love you all.

For my friends -

Who know how to make me feel exactly the same.

don't ask why

2010-06-22T20:19:00.004+03:00

Sometimes the most mundane words, as banal as they are,

are all that's needed to express a feeling.

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.

Wrinkles

2010-06-16T19:43:00.003+03:00

They are the texture of life,

Keeping nothing plain, nothing smooth, nothing simple.

The ups and downs of every passing day,

of every period.

They make sure you'll get the respect you deserve,

or get ignored completely.

The intensity of life in the past year,

has most definitely added some new wrinkles,

to the written book of my life.

2010-05-05T20:05:00.002+03:00

Sometimes all you need is a bit of color.

The ability to make a dark picture brighter,

Is the real gift.

play time

2010-05-03T22:01:00.002+03:00

Time to let the dogs play,

The waves roar,

And the sand to stand still.

where did they go?

2010-04-15T19:19:00.003+03:00

I thought I had them secured.

I held on so tightly, with all my might and strength.

I never let go, not for a second took my mind off them.

Daddy, where did my balloons go?

Daddy, why did they leave me?

Well son, there's nothing you can do.

Balloons are known to like the wind.

Will I ever see them again, Daddy?

You might son, you might.

So many interpretations, one truth, my truth:

I am proud of myself.

in my city

2010-04-09T18:31:00.002+03:00

Tel Aviv. 'Nuff Said.

walking the streets

2010-04-07T00:20:00.003+03:00

There's much to see, if you only stop to look.

Not a common thing to do when you are "living the city life".

I find it a great joy to take a day off sometimes, walking the city just looking for things I wouldn't normally look at.

It's not that I don't want to any other time - It's just that the troubled mind insists always on putting everything aside while it needs to be in the spotlight.

Days like this, well - It's what makes it all worth it.

Patience

2010-03-22T20:35:00.000+02:00

Is a virtue. Most of the time.

side walk

2010-03-13T13:29:00.003+02:00

Out on the front porch,
watching the cars as they go by,
Eighteen blue, twenty one grey,
Looking ahead for the first time that we could drive,
Out on our own,
To speed away

From the sidewalks,
Running away from the streets we knew,
Sidewalks,
Like the time we thought was made for you.
Or

Story of the Year - Sidewalks.

beauty saloon is beautiful

2010-02-10T20:07:00.003+02:00

I love to find a fresh perspective on an old matter, something I've done weeks or years ago. And I do mean 'find' literally - simply because I seldom manage to get a different angle on things when I'm surrounded, or occupied, by them - even if I try.

Usually it suddenly appears to me -

Giving me that indescribable feeling of growth:

This is me, now, different of what I was once was,

And I see things in a different way now. Always better.

sometimes it rains

2010-01-28T19:48:00.006+02:00

And sometimes not...

It's nice to find out that even when it's grumpy and all-so-wet, a bit of roof-top can make me warm, even enough to take the camera out for a shot.

faithless (?)

2009-09-04T20:06:00.006+03:00

I've got my own moral compass to steer by

A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky

And all the preaching voices -

Empty vessels of dreams so loud

As they move among the crowd

Fools and thieves are well disguised

In the temple and market place

I don't have faith in faith

I don't believe in belief

You can call me faithless

I still cling to hope And

I believe in love

And that's faith enough for me

Rush, Faithless

slip sliding away

2009-07-10T12:00:00.002+03:00

And I know a father who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things hed done
He came a long way just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and he headed home again

Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away

missing

2009-07-02T02:03:00.003+03:00

An endless fire.

Remindful.

The best and worse feeling of them all.

"I miss you" – Therefore there is a “you” to miss. And there is a reason.

"I miss you" – Therefore you’re not here.

reflecting

2009-06-25T19:20:00.001+03:00

We are sometimes afraid to look at our reflections.
Scared of what we may find.
See something that we did not want to see,
Something that we try hard not to see.

To know who I am I must face my mirrors,
To do the things I want most I first have to deal with my reflections.

The easiest thing is to look away,
The bravest thing is to go along with them.

lost for words

2009-06-19T10:26:00.002+03:00

When feelings get hold of me,
Throw me back and forth without warning,
I can go from yellow to blue in a heartbeat,
I can lose my words in the turmoil,
I sit and stare,
Letting the wind pass, reshaping my surface.

It seems that I can't control them, my feelings,
Even though sometimes I try.
And I shouldn't.

The wind is my friend.

2009-06-06T12:53:00.001+03:00

life time

2009-06-01T12:54:00.002+03:00

We're always so worried about time.
"How long will this take", "When did that happen?"...

Birthdays, anniversaries,
Watches, calendars.
All make us remember exactly when everything happened,
While the actual truth is that no matter how you try,
The best and worst moments of our life
Cannot be measured by time.

Funny enough, after writing this I've discovered that

juggle with fire

2009-05-10T09:38:00.005+03:00

Fire juggling can be a dangerous thing.
You might get burnt.
You have to be concentrated the whole time.
You don't know if you will make it.
You don't know if the crowd will even like it.
Or at least appreciate it.

But all of these don't really matter,
if when the show is over you can say to yourself:

"I tried, I did it, I took another step".

Is he happy when a tune works?

beer zen

2009-04-27T18:19:00.004+03:00

We sit on a wooden bench,
Scars decorate its brown surface.
A hot summer's day,
The air is humid, thick with thoughts.
Cold glass enters,
Filled with my favorite.
As I drink the air is lighter,
There is no beer.
Just me.

decisions

2009-04-14T19:33:00.002+03:00

So many decisions in the past month.
So many hard ones,
the most difficult ones I have ever made.
And the price paid was and still is very very high.

I never know if I made the right choice.
How could anyone?
What I feel and what I think battling endlessly in my head.
Never resting.
Always moving. Shifting. Changing.

Decisions come and go - and each time I'm still unsure,
Have I made the right choice? Is it good for me? Will it do good in the future?

Must be the player now, take responsibility for my actions and face the consequences.

no words

2009-04-11T14:15:00.001+03:00

No words today, just feelings.

all is happening

2009-04-08T18:54:00.003+03:00

And I feel stationary.

Might be the holiday (Passover tonight),
Or just the need for security.

2009-01-15T20:36:00.002+02:00

Sometimes in all the turmoil around you,
you just want to sit down and gaze at the world.
Like stopping a rain-drop in mid-air,
while it's pouring rain.

Unbelievable silence. Amidst all the noise.
Satisfaction.

Then, when you go back to all the chaos,
it's like you've grown a hundred times in size.

something for nothing

2009-01-06T22:17:00.004+02:00

Waiting for the winds of change
To sweep the clouds away
Waiting for the rainbows end
To cast its gold your way
Countless ways
You pass the days

Waiting for someone to call
And turn your world around
Looking for an answer to
The question you have found
Looking for
An open door

You dont get something for nothing
You dont get freedom for free
You wont get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be

What you own is your own kingdom
What you do is your own glory
What you love is your own power
What you live is your own story
In your head is the answer
Let it guide you along
Let your heart be the anchor
And the beat of your own song

Things look pretty complicated -
but I can see the light from here.

fire

2008-12-28T19:26:00.001+02:00

For so many years we have been continuously scorched by fire.
Yet we did not extinguish it.

Nor has anyone.

It is time for us to make all the fuel burn at once,
so everyone else could live safely.

After fire always comes regrowth...

rising up

2008-11-23T12:49:00.003+02:00

I've noticed most of my posts are pretty gloomy...
Or maybe just the last ones.

Anyhow, I'm usually quite a positive guy -
so I better start acting like one!

'smiley'

So all is good now,
It's been raining for the past two days,
And tomorrow I'm going to ride my bicycle somewhere,
probably the sea.

Life is good.

going swimming

2008-11-16T22:22:00.001+02:00

I feel like I'm inside a big tank filled with dark, dark water,
and the water is so still and quiet,
I can't see or hear anything.

And I won't even care if something will pass by me-
This is quite comfortable...

I like being apathetic from time to time.

going back for better or worse

2008-11-10T12:26:00.001+02:00

It's been a melow 2 months -
I havn't touched anything thats related to my actual life -
Just gazed at the world while trying to do as little as I could.

So now it's time to get back on my feet and try get stuff organized,
Get daily life ticking..

See if I can manage it all.

first drops of rain

2008-09-12T17:33:00.004+03:00

Arriving in Ireland, we were greeted by rain.
And the rain decided to prolong his greetings - until the day we left.
We felt like Ireland was trying to convince us it's a rainy place...
Coming from 40-degrees-Israeli-summer, we had absolutely nothing to lose, so we really enjoyed the weather.This Photograph is dedicated to all the Irishmen that tried to convince us Ireland is prettier in sunlight - ok, we believe you.

irish doors are smiling

2008-09-10T21:26:00.001+03:00

Back here in Israel!

And what a trip we had! Truly amazing...
First thing to notice in Ireland - everyone is nice,
and I don't mean "Oh look tourists, put on your nice face" kinda nice.
We really felt welcomed - everywhere we went.

And the doors - each one in a different color.

I just love that!

I'm gonna have a green door.

Or a blue one.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

2008-08-04T20:04:00.002+03:00

Vacation time is here for me!

Next 3 weeks - Ireland!

So see you all soon, I'll keep in touch ;)

And I promise to be back with a lot of green pictures.

watching time go by

2008-07-29T10:20:00.002+03:00

Things have slowed down for me.

I've almost finished all my assignments for college,

I'll be flying to Ireland in a week,

So it's actually time to raise my legs up-high and relax.

It's a funny thing though -

I'm so used to doing stuff all the time,

I keep feeling like I sould be doing something.

So I have decided that doint nothing is doing something.

Now my conscience is clear.

climbing up that hill

2008-07-11T14:09:00.004+03:00

It's hard keeping up blogging,

especially with all the stuff aroung me these days-

Mostly college stuff.

I find my "artistic enthusiasm" choked nearly to death, I guess because of pressure and a real feeling of "I am soooooo tired".

off to work

2008-06-10T17:39:00.004+03:00

The semester has ended finally, And now - Off to work!

3 more projects to finish.

I hardly have any will to move myself out of bed,

let alone work on those projects.

ahhhhhhhhhh

2008-06-05T21:48:00.005+03:00

One sentence/
What a miss - And it makes me so frustrated...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I had to say just one sentence to make it work -
But I simply blacked-out and in a few minutes it was all over.

And now I have this awful, unbearable feeling of "I was almost there!"

p.s.

Sorry for the lousy quality,

I forgot my camera on 800 iso...

jerusalem

2008-06-01T19:00:00.002+03:00

Walking in the narrow streets of Jerusalem is one of the most unique experiences.
Especially in these troubled times, when Muslim and Jew are alike in their fear from each other.
So it was a real intense feeling walking inside the Muslim quarter during the Jewish holiday of Passover.
Was I afraid? A little.
Was it ok to be afraid? I guess it was.
Is there a real reason to be afraid? I would like to say no -
But here nowadays it seems fear has become a part of us.

For no good reason and for a very few good ones.

gum problum

2008-05-09T17:07:00.002+03:00

I had an appointment with the dentist today.

I am terified of them.

First of all - I don't like needles.

Second - I don't like watching the dentist stick needles inside my mouth.

Third - It hurts!

Fourth - I can't stand the sound and feel of those awful dental drills.

Fifth - Need I go On?!

So when the dentists' secretary left a message on my cellphone telling me that the appointment was cancelled and I should call back to set a new one, I obviously didn't.

I'll just use satrwberries and baking soda and pray fiercely to the Dental God.

Something a little different...
Wednesday's are usually good.

Even if everythings messed up and I have a rotten day,
Somehow by night time it all seems better.
I wish weeks would only contain Wednesdays.

And weekends.

:)

My crime an illusion,
A scene badly written
In which I must play.
Yet I know as I gaze
At my young love beside me,
The morning is just a few hours away."

waddle waddle

2008-04-28T21:10:00.003+03:00

Again it is time to waddle around until I get out of this mud called bad-mood.

After two weeks of vacation, hanging around with my family-from-Canada, It's even worse going back to daily life.

And I thought this vacation will energize me...

Morning\Desert.luv

2008-04-13T20:11:00.002+03:00

The desert is a truely unique place.
So quiet yet full of sound, monotonous yet so versatile, relaxing yet truely fearsome.
Right now I think there is no more appealing place for me like the desert.
I have the feeling a week with no cell-phone, no work and no home-work will do me wonders.

I seem to complain a lot lately,
and it may seem that I'm not satisfied with my life right now.

I must say it's not true - my life is fine right now,
there's just this feeling that I need something else,
an outing for feelings or atristic desires that doesn't seem to be.

I tend to have this feeling while studying -
Could it be that learning actually bounds me from being creative?

Or maybe it gets me way to serious...

And I dislike being serious just as much as I like being serious.

Or maybe it just makes me serious when I shouldn't be.

Food for thought for me -
I'll go eat.

I think beards are more interesting than fashion.

Yup.

Super Powers

2008-03-29T21:32:00.004+03:00

When I was a child I always told myself that If I'll be granted with 3 wishes, I would ask to have the ability to fly, to become invisible and indestructable.

Today I guess my three wishes would be different. Or maybe not.

I still want to fly.

I still want to be indestuctable.

I might ask for world peace instead of invisibility.

I sure need some super powers to finish my home-work right now...

Didn't feel like it

2008-03-24T22:22:00.002+02:00

I didn't feel like posting anything lately..
It's a big No-No in the world of blogging, but hey-
Who really cares? It's not like thousands of visitors stop by here everyday.

For those of you who do bother - I love you.

So after a long brake (hopefully) will come productive times.

What I've been upto lately:

2008-01-07T00:19:00.000+02:00

Listening to music, alot.

Studying - hard to breath, soon over.

Not taking any photographs - see "Studying".

Loosing my sight - need glasses soon.

Losing my hair - won't be needing shampoo soon.

Running - 11km last Saturday, success!

Loving my girlfriend - such comfort.

Working - need money for nothing.

Neglecting my virtual life - not missing it too much/ Thanx Facebook!

My grandpa died yesterday.

My mom came to visit him at the old folks' home two weeks ago, and for the whole time she was there he refused to recognize her.
"I don't know you! Who are you? You're Pulling my leg- You're not Genya!"
She got really pissed off and was about to leave, when he signalled her with his finger to come close to him, then he whispered to her:
"Fooled you didn't I?"

That was the man he was.

When I turned 18 I really disliked the man, for how he treated my grandma.
I did not speak to him nor come visit him at the home.

A couple of years ago I went to visit him; He was half the man I remembered.
Old and confused.
Since then I visited him a number of times. The last time I saw him he didn't recognize me. Or maybe he did.

For me he was the man who is always there.
He survived the Holocaust, he survived cancer, he is still playing his accordion.
He is my grandpa, and I love him.

That's it.
Summer vacation is officially over.
From tomorrow it's back to college, back to homework.

It was a good summer tough. I really had lots of fun.
This picture, for example, was taken in the Dead Sea - it was my first time there. And I really liked it! So I travelled a lot, I saw life, I saw death... I've learned a lot.
Funny, I've actually learned more during those last couple of months than I did the whole previous year in college.

Have fun everyone!

Oh, and Cher - here's another adorable one for you! :)

Yemen

2007-10-04T17:47:00.000+02:00

Teimanya Festival, Rosh Ha-Ain.
Celebrating the colture and life of the Yemenites.

Was interesting, to say the least;

Food, drink, music, dance, way of speak, accent, fashion, religion.

Sukkot pt. 2

Quite a nice holiday, Sukkot is.
Lotsa food.

Nice weather.
Last holiday before this year kicks into high gear.

am I a patriot?

2007-09-24T20:04:00.000+02:00

I really don't know. I just love my country because of what it stands for and for the reasons it was created/established.
And it was a nice feeling holding and waving the national flag during the recent Davis Tournament (Tennis...:) ).
Israel won, by the way, 3-1 over Chile. :)

Today was a slow day.

How exciting is that?! :)

Quite a lot if you ask me...

as life flows by

2007-09-20T17:34:00.000+02:00

For some reason, life has decided to keep poking me in the stomach.

This post is in memory of Adi Na'eem and his newly wedded wife Rotem,
Who died earlier this week a plane crash in Thailand.

They got married two weeks ago, and flew to their dream-honeymoon in Poket, Thailand, Along with newly-wed friends Tzhachi and Hofit, who had been married for five months.

But apparently life had other plans for the two young, loving couples.
Their plane crashed during landing.

Both couples died, each holding his/her beloved.

Last time I spoke with Adi was 10 years ago.
He was my classmate.
We weren't the best of friends or anything,
but he always seemed to me as a good, honest soul,
always kind and friendly.

That's why, apart from the horrible tragedy of this story, I'm sad to my bones.

And I'm sad that I can't find any meaning for this horrible death.

..

Tomorrow I'm going to watch a tennis games between the teams of Israel and Chile.
Life keeps on flowing.

All things happening

2007-09-09T22:59:00.000+03:00

I really like this picture I took last year in Eilat, because there are so many things happening there - every time I look at it I notice something new, something I never saw before (Or saw it and completely forgot about it! :))

And it's amazing how life manages to surprise us regularly:

Everything happens all at once, an explosion of events and happenings that's always new and unfamiliar, constantly demanding your attention, and never forgiving for lack of focus or for apathy.

In the past two weeks I started learning how to dance between death and life, joy and sorrow,

pain and pleasure .

I guess by the time I'm 80 I'll be a top dancer.

How unfortunate that most likely by then I will brake both of my hips.

Life

2007-08-22T19:17:00.000+03:00

I was going to talk about death again...
But today I was at a funeral.
And suddenly death seemed very irrelevant.

So I went trough my photographs and found this one -
from a home for the handicapped , where my lovely Rona used to work.

Whenever I went there to visit her working, I couldn't help but thinking:
"My god! What kind of life could this people have??"

But now I understand it all. I've stopped looking for the meaning of life.
Whatever it is - I'm fulfilling it by living.

Barely Alive, But Still Breathing

2007-07-30T18:26:00.000+03:00

There's a death sentence hanging over my head.

I'm not talking about the usual "killed in a car accident", "death by lightning" kind of death.

I'm going to die because of where I live, because of who I am.

I'm From Israel. I'm Jewish.

The whole world knows I'm gonna die. They even know the date.

They might even have the ability to save me from dying.

I guess that after the first atom bomb explodes here, you will get to see that ability "in action".

I won't.

I'll be dead because one man wants me dead.

I'll be dead because the whole world couldn't stop one man.

Or wouldn't.

I'll be dead because we've let religion tell us what to do, who to kill.

I'll be dead because I have to die, in order for this world to live.

I feel like shit.

This is the face of my country right now.

And we are so busy hiding our faces that we forget no one is actually watching.

Can't wait

This is the last week of the semester.

Monday for beach and sun,
Tuesday for sleeping.
Wednesday... well Wednesday is a whole new ball game...

Rock!

2007-06-27T22:13:00.000+03:00

Lately I've gotten back to rock music.
It's not that I left it forgotten and buried away,
it's just that I started getting interested in Jazz, funk, soul and even went into the darkside of industrial and electronic music.
So I began listening to all of my "old bands", youth favorites and teenage loves- you know the ones:
Rush, Led Zeppelin, Queensryche, Allman Brothers, Extreme, Guns...
I even returned to my "black" period - Opeth, Testament...

And while listening, as I was dusting off old CD covers and forgotten vinyls, different memories and feelings came back to me.

It all made me feel.. well, actually very good! :)
Like time really doesn't matter.
I'm still that school boy with a walkman and big earphones,
listening to my music like there is no tomorrow.

Now I know not many people find this page, as it is maybe too personal and less appealing for the average web-surfer, but I'll try this nonetheless:

Post a comment with your favourite\loved\nostalgic youth band.
Lets see what we'll get! :)

Tim Burton is one of my favorite directors.
His style is just, well.. so unique and..
That's just the thing with real artists -
you can't really define their style -becuase it is so unique.
They are those who really create,
re-defining their field, the whole game.

Here's for you, Tim!

2007-06-14T21:59:00.000+03:00

Two weeks ago me and two good friends of mine flew to Milano, Italy, for the Gods Of Metal festival.
It was my first time (as an adult) in a true rock festival.
I had the time of my life.
So many beutiful people, true rockers, true music lovers/ and
So many glam rockers, just as if the 80's never went away/ ohh
I love it!

The Trees

2007-06-12T19:54:00.000+03:00

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

Rush, The Trees.

Fire leftovers

2007-04-27T19:13:00.000+03:00

We had a house fire a week ago.
The flames and smoke left the house charred black,
but in a special, kind of beautiful way.
