Misfits Season 3
Rudy: She's not ugly or anything, maybe 6 or 7 out of 10.
Charlie: So what am I?
Rudy: I would never disrespect you like that, or any other woman, but if I absolutely had to, I'd give you a 9. So mathematically, as the two most attractive members of our little community service, can't you believe we are genetically predisposed to copulate. Any reputable scientists would can tell you that law.
Charlie: Oh, well, I am obviously incredibly flattered, but it's just I don't find you even remotely attractive.
Rudy: I don't believe you.
Charlie: Why would I lie?
Rudy: I don't know, what would you lie?
Charlie: I'm not.
Rudy: Not consciously, but subconsicously you're fuckin crazy about me, aren't you? To be continued.

That Deafening Silence
The sun has set comfortably as I pulled the car from the garage. The wind blew softly. Just the right amount of humidity. Songs played in the background, check. Let the songs dominate the indoor scene inside my car, check.
Now, let the eyes be entertained by the surrounding scenery. The well designed house and building, the random architecture of these malls, the various faces of everyday people...

Broken Record
X: How am I supposed to know what you want when I don't even know what I want.
Y: How am I supposed to know what I want when you don't even know my needs.
X: How am I supposed to know what you need when you don't even know me.
Y: How am I supposed to know you when you don't even reveal yourself to me?
X: How am I supposed to reveal myself when you don't give me the chance?
Y: How am I supposed to give you a chance when you never told me your true feelings?
X: How am I supposed to tell you my true feelings when I'm not even sure how I feel.
Y: How am I supposed to respond to that when I have given you my all?

the bends
dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. frustration that you’re not enjoying an experience as much as you should, even something you’ve worked for years to attain, which prompts you to plug in various thought combinations to try for anything more than static emotional blankness, as if your heart had been accidentally demagnetized by a surge of expectations.

Tercekat
Kesunyian yang menerobos tanpa jeda. Menusuk tanpa ampun. Tanpa jejak. Tak bersisa. Tak kunjung berhenti.
Sepi yang mencekam. Membelenggu dengan erat. Merengkuh keabadian. Menunggu setia tanpa lelah.
Diam yang kekal. Membungkam, menulikan, membutakan. Bisu yang mencoba mengeluarkan gema dan gaungnya.
Kesendirian yang terlampau familiar, menyerupai suasana. Gelap yang menyelimuti. Hawa dingin...

Into The Fog by Mark Rich →
Whiteness over this village and hill
obscures everything from view until
you are right on it—if in a car
with someplace to go. Having not far
to go, by foot, to a household sale,
we wonder how forecasters could fail
so completely to see this coming,
mute folds draping over everything
so that what we see is never quite
what we know is there, in proper light.
A tree mistily looming, gray...

Ces Sentiments Inexplicables
Femme: Tu sais la différence entre...
Homme: Oui, ma puce?
Femme: La différence entre être tombé amoureuse et être entichée?
Homme: C'est difficile, ma puce. Il faut qu'on essaie tous les deux. Et bienqu'on les essaie, c'est encore difficile à expliquer.
Femme: Pourquoi? Peux-tu m'expliquer ce que l'amour veut dire?
Homme: Eh bien, c'est aussi trop facile de dire ca. Quand on parle de sentiments, meme les mots ne suffissent pas du tout. Y'a pas de mots, ma puce, qui peut exactement expliquer l'amour, amoureux, et entiché.
Femme: C'est si compliqué?
Homme: Trop compliqué, on peut pas mettre, ou bien choisir des mots. Je pense que tous les mots on connait sont une représentative du sentiment quoi, une expression de colère, d'amour, de malheur, de bonheur, de tous. Chaque mot on choisit décrit un sentiment inexplicable, ma puce.
Femme: Il me semble que tu connais bien ces sentiments inexplicables.
Homme: Tu m'as demandé quelle est la différence entre être tombé amoureux et être entiché tout à l'heure, ma puce?
Femme: Oui.
Homme: Moi, j'étais entiché de toi. Moi, je suis tombé amoureux de toi. L'amour est toi. Et toi, ma puce éternelle, es-tu entichée ou tombée amoureuse? Peux-tu m'expliquer?

Daredevil Conspiracy
- : You know that movie, Daredevil?
+ : Yeah. What about it?
- : I always remember that particular scene when Matt Murdock drowns himself, except his face, in order to get some sleep because he has supersonic hearing. I often wish to do that. Just shut myself off of these distorted voices and thoughts. I badly want to do that. It seems so peaceful and private and simple. Shutting our ears. Just for a moment. Even for a couple minutes or so. I need that.
+ : But the thoughts would still rush in, no?
- : Yes. But at least the voices stop.
+ : Isn't that, in a way, avoiding your problems?
- : Yes.
+ : Sometimes life can be overwhelming.
- : Pfft, life IS overwhelming. And utterly demanding.
+ : And fucked up. And seriously tiring.
- : Mostly fucked up. I keep seeing the same pattern, different approach, but ends up in the same old result. It's frustrating. My life. And watching some are so full of themselves, they don't even realize how sickening it is to watch them doing the same shit over and over again.
+ : Maybe we should add bath salt while we're at it. Drowning our sorrow.
- : I swear I've had enough of this crap.
+ : Be a monk, why don't you.
- : Don't have the patience. I just want a moment of peace everyday, MY private moment, where I can pretend life is easy and the people are actually angels in disguise.
+ : Sadly that's now how it goes.
- : Certainly not. I'm tired. I'm just. Tired.

White Blanket
You know why I’m not a fan of beaches? It’s because I made direct contact with sunlight for as long as I can remember. Because I gazed upon its blinding lights for million times. Because I’ve felt its scorching hotness. Because I’ve walked under it long enough. Because it’s too hot to handle, because it makes me feel thirsty. Because everybody would be sweating like a...

Hey.
Him: Hey.
Her: Hey.
Him: You uhm..., you look gorgeous today.
Her: Thanks. You look good today, the cold's gone?
Him: Yeah. My girlfriend--she uhm...
Her: Good to hear that. You should keep her, she sounds like a nice girl.
Him: If you say so.

Him: So what's up with us?
Her: Us? What about us?
Him: How come one day we're all chatty and touchy and flirty and the next day we're a complete stranger to each other?
Her: I don't know. Maybe because some days you're all caught up and stressed out, I don't want to bother you. And then there's me all confused and in a bad mood and I just want to be left alone.
Him: Guess you're right.
Her: Do you want this-whatever we have, to end? Cause I don't.
Him: Never.

Super: A Movie Review
Super, directed by James Gunn (Slither, Dawn of The Dead, Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed), is a dark comedy and superhero satire. Is that a warning? Well, if you watch Super because it has Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page in it and you automatically assume it’s a comedy, then boy you’re barking on the wrong tree. Some scenes can be violent, they make you question the point of this movie: is it to...

ambedo
dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. a kind of melacholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details—raindrops skittering down a window, tall trees leaning in the wind, clouds of cream swirling in your coffee—which leads to a dawning awareness of the haunting fragility of life, a mood whose only known cure is the vuvuzela.

Langkah Ringan Seorang Loper
Dia melangkah santai tanpa beban, senyum ramah selalu menghiasi wajahnya. Berbagai suratkabar ia gendong dengan tangan kirinya, sementara tangan kanannya mengambil salah satu suratkabar tersebut lantas menawarkannya pada siapapun yang menurutnya terlihat intelek.
Di pinggiran tempat menunggu kereta api, biasanya ia menawarkan suratkabar yang ia gendong. Usianya mungkin 2 atau 3 tahun lebih muda...

Dance of Despair
The walls are tearing apart. The glorious familiar cracks, it echoes everywhere and all around, it creeps into your ears.
The waves are clashing outside, slapping itself harder and harder, swallowing your scream, your shout, your plea, your cry.
As you grow helpless and hopeless, the waves, walls, and cracks cheer and clink their glasses, saluting their victory.
Surrounding and chanting “Despair”...

Many other aspects of astronomy could also stand to be affected if the new discovery holds. Some important ideas about the history of the universe, in fact, are based on neutrino measurements and theories.

Guratan
Tiap tantangan yang kamu lewati. Tiap masalah yang kamu hadapi. Membekas di wajahmu.
Tiap guratan yang terpatri, mengisahkan kisahnya sendiri di tiap ruas kerutan dan tatapan yang ambigu.
Kisah hidup menggelora hanya dengan menyimak keletihan di wajahmu, ombak yang pernah menghempaskan kamu, melempar kamu, bahkan menenggelamkan kamu, terukir abadi di wajahmu. Mengacu asumsi rancu.
Setiap kamu...
