Forever 21 shoes, 4.75" heel, with 1" platform. They're not the most comfortable shoes I own, but they're definitely not bad, I like them a lot. In retrospect, I thoroughly wish I had positioned the heel in front of the outlet.
Accompanying music: Existentialism on Prom Night, Straylight Run. I'm gonna start recording the music I was listening to while I was taking the picture, cool?

"If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning."
C.S. Lewis
I didn’t do yoga, but one day I saw one of my friends who does yoga, while she was in the lotus form and wanted to learn more about the lotus symbol. She told me that lotus form symbolizes recreation. Yogis believe that during the lotus form they come to life again. So, the first drawing represents the birth. The second figure symbolizes the Utkatasana pose, which means power. It is not the power that you feel when you have control over someone, it is the one about life energy. So, the figure represents the energy that yogi has during their ritual. Thinking that they had a second life, they motivate themselves. She is feeling pleased and, in some way, she is praising. The third pose of the figure is likely to be the Sukhasana pose. I used this pose because yogi believe that during this pose, they spread the feeling of peace around them. I wanted to use my own imagination with the third pose, so it doesn’t have a name.This piece represents how existentialism is a part of our daily life.
My video-poem on YouTube: youtu.be/whuBQMQ6gxc
Description
This started as a couple of short night-time clips.Then it became a poem. Then it became a video-poem-song. I knew from the beginning what I wanted to show and say. The music was a surprise but it lightens what might have seemed heavy. In actual fact, despite appearances, although the video is quite serious and solemn, it is not gloomy. It examines in a poetic way something which is scientifically true for everyone. The conclusion is surprising but it is undistorted veracity.
*************************************************************************************
Tutto iniziò con un paio di brevi clip di notte. Poì divenne una poesia. Poi divenne un video-poesia-musicata. Sapevo sin dall'inizio ciò che volevo mostrare e dire. La musica era una sorpresa, ma alleggerisce ciò che potrebbe sembrare pesante. In realtà , nonostante le apparenze, anche se il video è molto serio e solenne, non è cupo. Esamina in modo poetico qualcosa di scientifico che è vero per tutti. La conclusione può sembrare sorprendente, ma indica una verità non distorta.
*************************************************************************************
Es begann alles mit ein paar kurzen Clips in der Nacht. Dann wurde es ein Gedicht. Dann wurde es eine Video-Poesie in Musik gesetzt. Ich wusste von Anfang an, was ich zeigen und erzählen wollte. Die Musik war eine Überraschung, aber aufhellt, was schwer scheinen mag. In der Tat, entgegen allem Anschein, auch wenn das Video sehr ernst und feierlich ist, ist es nicht düster. Es untersucht in poetischer Weise etwas, das wissenschaftlich sachlich für alle ist. Die Schlussfolgerung mag überraschen, aber eine Wahrheit unverfälscht geben.

Reg the miniature schnauzer. Not my dog, sadly I'm allergic to him. But he IS the cutest and loveliest dog in the world.
I don't get to take pictures of animals very often, as I'm allergic to most things with fur. I hate my allergy. . :-(

darkness and woman"-Pythagoras .
.
Woman, the other ofman has been historically and socially viewed as the darkness as this quote depicts. The identity of.
female is marked by the absence. The qualities which are attributed on man like virility, intellect, courage etc, female is.
defined by the absence ofthem. It is an originary absence in the sense that the encounter with one's own self is always.
mediated through the dominant-hegemonic social structures. Simone writes in the Second Sex, "Man thinks himself.
without the body ofthe \voman, whereas the woman's body seems devoid ofmeaning without reference to the male...she.
is nothing other than what man decides. She'determines and differentiates herselfin relation to man...She 'is the Other.".
The alterity which is ascribed to female brings about a different conception ofthe self which is not absolute or abstract.
but which is very much embedded in the concrete and subtle social forces. As a feminist, the question before Simone is.
.
the analyses ofthis 'situated self' ofthe female. She analyses it through unfolding the social forces which mark the body.
offemale into the dominant patriarchal social order. She therefore is 'not born but made' as woman. The objectification.
of female through patriarchy converts her into an entity where the meaning and values ofher existence are derived by.
the norms and ideals of patriarchal order. The images of Seeta and savitri and other chaste women in Indian society.
.
which remains encoded in the patriarchal framework and ingrained in the psyche of girls through various institutional.
mediums like family, religion becomes the sort of"Superego" for the females. So female has to assume the role models.
provided by the patriarchal set up otherwise it results in the guilt, a loss ofthe sense ofthe self. Simone points out at this.
predicament when she says, "she discovers and chooses herself in a world where men force her to assume herself as.
.
Other: an attempt is made to freeze her as an object and doom her to immanence, since her transcendence will be forever.
transcended by another essential and sovereign consciousness., .

The present talk will discuss the various issues which remains crucial even after her demise..
1-The life as acknowledged by her in autobiography, interviews and letters and the life as lived by her which shehas not acknowledged yet we can delve into it through other sources. .
.
2-The dialectics ofengagement with Jean Paul Sartre, her life partner. Whether she is the thinker who is influencedby Sartre as she herself acknowledged or she is an independent thinker from whom Sartre has taken the manyinsights and later appropriated them? .
3-Feminism as existentialism or otherwise? .
