i can fly but i want his wings
i can love but i need his heart.
while running today, this song stopped me breathless.
I need to read more of this stuff, all the time, all the time.
It's interesting how some songs find meaning after years of dormacy.
Tearing down windows and doors and I could not find eyes like yours.

Nikita:
I think you ma be wrong about your interpretation of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead.
Her selfishness philosophy does not exist for the purpose of 'being selfish.' It has come about as a means for a purposeful society, a working society, a society made up of happy people who follow their core beliefs. It's not really to be against society, but against this society of ours that encourages lying to oneself in order to make others around us pleased. Oh, and I cannot agree more with this. (And moreover (I'm not sure if this occurs in the novel or in her philosophy), I do not believe that this is bad, because I don't see people being inherently evil).
It is not to do what you want. It is to live with integrity, do what you want, and be happy.
Objectivism, she calls it. I like Nathenial Branden's interpretations of the novel.
(I think I got a different sense from you).
Not to put you on the spot, I just thought this would be an interesting dialogue to open to everyone.

i love people.
so im walking down harbord street talking to a friend on the phone very loudly i think trying to describe where we're headed to tonight. so this girl walks out of my favourite haridressing place, curl ambassadors.. and it looks like its closing and i figure she works there. anyway. i reach the end of harbord (or, rather, i reach bathurst)... and i hang up the phone at that moment and try to go back since i still haven't found the place i was going to... and that girl from curl ambassadors asks me if im looking for something. yes, im looking for this new restaurant that opened on harbord street. doesn't know it. but people are amazing anyway.
and thats what i thought to myself. and i thought, yes, this is quite a change from a few years ago. yes, all of everything is quite quite different.
there are some things that are the same, but those are kinks to be worked out. and thats been in the works for a while.
so i go and play piano. was going to stop by the music library but i figured they were closed by then. this girl asked me if i knew where the law faculty was. i knew where it was. and... i tried to explain as best i could but it was just not coming out right and i think they were more confused. but they probably got there okay. (okay, just continue walking down this street and it's there... near the parking lot... next to the music faculty). i get to the music place and im not sure if this building is the right buildoing (theres another digression here but ill skip it). when i saw the grand pianos i almost cried. ive been waiting to be here for two and a half years.
there was this one point when i was playing when it felt like the movies when something bad happens to the main character when they're not aware of it and there's this music in the background, usually violin or piano. they're usually doing something calm like playing some instrument or walking. it was all the same except i was playing scales so im not sure why it sounded like that to me at all, but that's the feeling i had. (maybe by then i knew my mom had tried to call me? i dont chronologically remember it now).

Why is it always an "18 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO STUDIES ENGLISH BUT WANTS TO STUDY ART" from Paris. (Obviously it's not always like that, and it's obvious (indeed) because of nonobvious principles) Am I a girl who wants to study art in Paris but isn't?

I don't believe in the division of the sexes!
So, yet another stumbling onto an article of the "men are supposed to do this" sort and I decided to write about it.
There is no division of the sexes. No one is supposed to do, be, or eat anything specifically.
No one is supposed to.
On the other hand, I do recognize (and not just academically and intellectually speaking) the vitalness of the 'separation'. The ying-yang effect. The completeness of the sexes. Hey if we weren't different, there wouldn't be all those people chasing sex. There is no use denying there are differences. In fact, there is no use denying it or else there won't be any.
[on a slightly different note, basis elements. i know it makes no sense. just a 'brainstorming' thought]
So, indeed let the sexes complete (what we're supposed to do, to raise a paradox, contradiction, whatever) and not compete.
If I think about it carefully this issue has been an 'annoyance' of mine since a very early age, when I caught the battle of the sexes on tv - and that was a long time ago, back in the promised land. And I don't mean annoyance - I mean that I deeply felt that it was just not so in my soul. (I forget the age when I lost it, only to regain it recently.)
Moreover, after not competing, let's not tell the general sexes how it's supposed to be.
(Oh! digressions, I love thee, but hopefully you've not masked my thoughts).
Duality. It's great and it also helps you wearily get out of tight philosophical situations.
