lessons n people

i learned 2 things today(actualli there were at least 15 but these r e most significant)..Afghan sounds a whole lot like Hebrew..n the word 'line-weightin' refers to the thickness of the line drawn with pencil or ink..n has nothin to do with how heavy ur pencil, pen ink is...or how heavy ur hand presses down on the paper with any of those media...or how bluidy hard or dark ur pencil/ink is..a revolution-izin revelation i call it...

n how in e name of our Lord n Saviour, this 19th day of May in e 2006th year of the same Lord's comin did i learn of this? well, i was havin dis break from mi draftin (out of frustration more than laziness) at e studio..n when breaks come, i head upstairs to dat nifty lil' pantry to hav some toasted muffins (muffins not bread mind) when i saw dat e cute white Black n Decker toaster was occupied with 2 pieces of toast dat had oredi popped up on e machine..so i turned roun 2 see whose it was..n saw dis most amazingly beautifu lady sittin at e table havin Greek Humus..

so i says,''dis urs?" "yes, thank you very much.i'd clean forgotten bout it" says e lady..n dat was how i got 2 noe my 2nd year senior, Unai Najabullah of Afghanistan..u noe wat exotic Turkish or Lebanese models look like? dats e idea...a guy would kiss e ground she walked on n praise Al..God for creatin Eve in e flesh again..i'm not affected..she was talkin 2 a classmate of mine who's also afghan (i never knew)..n i realised that Afghan sounds extremely like Hebrew..deep, nasal, liltin n like water trickling off rock..

anyway, her story was more interestin den her (oredi extremely flatterin) figure.. she'd wanted 2 be an architect from e earlist years of her character formation..n had come thru lots to get to Australia (three quarters-way roun e world)..passion for great architecture n design drives her along..1 of those ladies we guys would want to be seen talkin 2 in a bar..cos she can hold an intellectual conversation on esoteric subjects like art history yet looks like the winged Nike of Samothrace (dats Greek to mi too)..

wat i'm tryin to say is simpli dis..another dae..another interestin person 2 meet..another lesson learned..n another reminder dat the Power Dat Is does do miracles n create magic even thru human beings..flawed as it is..i'm encouraged to develop in wat i'm doin..studywise dat is.....
