I won’t say that all of Spike Jones’ humor has necessarily aged well over the years, but it’s still worth appreciating the artistry that went into this:

Esto es el himno de los Querubines de P.I. Tchaikovsky. Hay algo en la música de Ligeti, sin parecerse en nada, que me recuerda mucho a esto.

I know I have to let this go. My mind is telling me to run and never look back. But my heart, oh my heart -it’s badgering my soul to sink deep in the ocean of my cloaked emotions. Words do not narrate my subtle life, but moments do. I exist not in this life. I exist in moments. 

This unfaithful sobriety from the taste of you -I almost once had in my mouth.I am staying quiet and I am staying shut.
I am aware I am not allowed to admit that I miss you. Because you gave me no reason to. Even if it means death, I want to die whispering the truth,
talking to your heart, before it stops beating too. 

I could not help myself -pull myself out of the state of constant wallowing. You had left the town with a significant piece of my existence. I waited and I waited -knowing you’ld be somewhere far -laughing and drinking it away with your chaps. But I knew, deep in your heart, you could not get rid of the longing that needed my presence, somewhere close to you. The melancholy had befallen us. Our death was inevitable.

An Archaeological Wonder: Salamis

Salamis, Northern Cyprus

I had the opportunity to explore these amazing ruins while traveling around Cyprus.  You can wander around the archaeological site and easily imagine the bustling city it once was.  Salamis became the ancient capital of Cyprus as far back as 1100 BC and was occupied by a number of civilizations.  The site is approximately one square mile.  Parts of the site were built by Trajan and Hadrian, particularly after an earthquake in 76 AD.  The Romans built baths, mosaics, etc.  The city was destroyed by an invasion around 674 AD, forcing the occupants to the area around Famagusta.  The site was looted constantly until 1952 until 1952, when excavations by the Department of Antiquities began.  Personally, I think this site should be designated as an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
