The Café de Flore, at the corner of the Boulevard Saint-Germain and the Rue St. Benoit, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, has long been celebrated for its intellectual clientele.
The classic Art Deco interior of all red seating, mahogany and mirrors has changed little since World War II.
It is said that Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir would meet here and discuss their philosophy of existentialism over a drink.
Another book Santa brought me because it was on my list and I was a good boy this year. I've already had a taste of Hazel Rowley's dual biography of Jean-Paul Sartre, the existentialist philospher (and great letch) and Simone de Beauvoir, his companion for 50 years and author of "The Second Sex," and I found it a great read. Rowley had to remove excerpts from Sartre's letters that she originally included, but I'm not a scholar so that probably won't bother me.
An interesting piece on each corner of the Dallas Museum of Art . . . I only wish the stylization of the features looked less like it was pulled a mold made of broken thumbs.
It was midnight, midnight at noon
Everyone talked in rhyme
Everyone saw the big clock ticking
Nobody knew, nobody knew the time

Not only am I back the Sting lyrics are as well ;)
More riffing on the theme of black and white and the way we look at the world. Its the beach but is it.
if you have read a book called "Only Forward" by Micheal Marshall Smith then this image might start to make some sense. For those who havent. There's time to start - suffice it to say he uses beaches as part of a theme, but then much of what you think is going on is not really whats going on - its existentialism hiding behind smart writing - try it, you will laugh out loud and think at the same time
my idea is to call forth the contrast between a life lived in the love given by Jesus and a life unaware of that love. Without I find life all dark, liear and empty, with I find a path marked by the Words "I LOVE YOU!"
Taken in the Franz Kafka cafe in Prague nearly two years ago. I'm rooting through the old folders for material...
Also I have a thing for empty chairs.
they never understood you
so why should you care?
why do you need approval?
or need them to be there?
you left home so many years ago
you must know it’s true
the only person who can help you now is you
you think it’s not funny
but it’s really absurd
i know what you’re saying
i’m hanging on every word
don’t know if I can help you
i can hardly help myself
but maybe you can see more clearly
if you talk to someone else
all that excess baggage clutters up your mind
throw it out the window, leave it all behind
talk to me, talk to me
tell me about it
come and talk to me
don’t say you don’t know
let your mind run free
tell me about it
come and talk to me
how can you miss something
that you never had?
is existentialism just a passing fad?
what’s humanity’s mission?
why won’t anybody listen?
so many questions, you can see
why don’t you talk to me?

part of my working month away. it's an eimac 400w transmitter tube i believe. and for sale too. did this one in ps2 a couple of times. not for the first time i realise how much me and 'Le Chop' aren't complimentary partners. you need a f'king phd to consider all options. thesis included! 'The statistical variance of photoshop algorithms amongst unenlightend application users'. oh no, i think i adjusted my gradient tool without considering my previous colour balance! twenty fotos to do - who has the time man? it's like nosebleed chess. a hundred ways to drive yourself crazy. so i eventually went to my back up 'el rock picasa' or 'el picadoro' (if you are not into the whole brevity thing) to finish the job up in a timely fashion. think I got something near precise as what i wanted. isn't that the point? sounds like existentialism, and like 'Le Chop", it takes a lifetime to comprehend with a similar gnawing feeling 'i should be doing something else'.
me, visiting the town, where I went to school, after 40 years living far away ... comment by msamaclean: I lived in so many places, growing up & many are not what they used to be. comment by kjatexas: I love to go back to the towns I grew up in. Usually when I visit my brother in NY, we get in the car and take a ride to all those old places.

The philosophical meaning of Absurdism is belief that the universe is irrational and meaningless and that the search for order brings the individual into conflict with the universe. And darker meaning of the flower, Anemone, is fading hope. But positive meaning is Anticipation, which can lead to existentialism
Some of my books, including Uri by Andrija Puharich, miscellaneous books on Existentialism, and When God Was a Woman by Merlin Stone, in 2006.
Not-me in not-my study. Or what would be a study if it existed. Or more precisely a picture of what would be me in my study, if any of that stuff existed. Or rather what would be a picture of all that stuff, if a picture existed, and if a viewer existed who could look at that hypothetical picture. Which doesn't.
I think I need to go take a walk.
