shadows from the past

***
Well you can tear a plane in the falling rain.
I drive a Rolls Royce 'cause it's good for my voice.
But you won't fool the children of the revolution.

As a shadow from the past, someone must have forgotten it. Walked by this one today and came to think of the summer, ooh some lovely summer. So far away. Maybe I should do another "Eurotrip" this summer? Anyone who wants to join me?
Spoke to my sister today, maybe I should go to Germany and visit her again soon?

Got a call from a really old friend of mine this weekend, another shadow from the past, they seem to be haunting me at the moment.

like a burning flame

It is like a burning flame, how can I love and hate someone this much at the same time? Maybe it is true, as people say, that these two things are really close.

Today has just been one of these days when you feel like putting a blanket over your head and forget all about everything.

Ooh, Vienna. Going there to (1) see some friends; (2) attend an infra ws; (3) have some fun; and (4) hopefully see something of Vienna itself.

lost...and found?

"Jag vet du lever mitt i bland.
Fast mitt i ingenstans.
Mitt i allt det där,
du försöker ge ett namn."

Feeling kind of lost today, as if my head is not attached to my body, as if there is a gap there. Tired, probably forgotten to take the damn red pills again so maybe I should look for them.


Leaving for Vienna on the 25th of February, finally got myself some tickets this morning. Straight to Vienna, no stops along the way.

Ooh life...should find my way back soon.

it is a new dawn, it is a new day, it is a...

"Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel

It is a new dawn
It is a new day
It is a new life for me, yea
It is a new dawn, it is a new day
It is a new life for me
Ooooh

And I am feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River runnin' free
You know how I feel
Blossom on the tree
You know how I feel

It is a new dawn
It is a new day
It is a new life for me

And I am feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all having fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day's done, that is what I mean

And this old world
Is a new world
And a bold world for me, yeah, yeah

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

It is a new dawn
It is a new day
It is a new life for me

And I am feeling good
Oh, I am feeling good!"

This is the song "Feeling Good" written during the 60's by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newly. So, why did I put this here? Well, I got a version of this one sent to me from a friend not that long ago and I somehow like it.

new year - new mistakes?

*******************************

New year - new life? - new mistakes?
Who knows, let us find out.

...but first, let me "close" the "old" year.

2007 in short:

• Made a bunch of stupid mistakes (Sweden & NL);
• Some of my dearest friends killed themselves/died in accidents;
• Made five trips to the Netherlands;
• Met a lot of new people, found a few really good friends among them;
  
• Spent the summer in Luleå;
  
• Moved away from Luleå;
• Got released from my secretary duties;
  
• Joined the evil (?) forces of infra;
• "restarted" an open relationship;
• Got addicted to oranges;

...and so on!

Based upon this, what will happen during this year? New mistakes? New places to see? New things to explore? New people to meet? New people to become friends with? New people to ignore? New people to love? New people to hate? More friends to bury?
