the world evolves around sushi

Haha.

One thing, at two times

You're not here. You weren't there.

You were here. You left there.

You left places. You filled spaces.

You drank purple stuff.

I discouraged you.

We're not here, not there.

We were everywhere.

____________________________________

Don't think I forgot because I was watering the flowers outside. 

They have to grow you know, they have to bloom, so the smell of fresh cut flowers can reach you. Just like the cartoons, the seductive hand drags you with her, down here, where we're still stuck. Compare us to the roots of a cactus in a deserted desert.

You ask me why I'm always talking about me and you, you and I, why? I tell you it's not about the reasons, it's about nothing. 'Cause nothing is what remains, reason is unsure and leaves us, with questions, when it leaves. It's ok, and the corners of your mouth curl into a proud grin. It's all me, conceited.

I think I need a new thing to speak about. Like persian fables, told mouth to mouth, for hundreds of ancient years. I want to be that one link in the chain, that changes the story into something heroic. Not just delivering, but also adding. Multiply myself, and adding myself to everything, and everyone around me. I know you don't like it, but it's you, that taught me to have these grotesque ideas.
So let me be you, let me be us, and I will make decisions that will make the flowers bloom even more. And someday, if I'm trying to reach out my hand, all in despair, I'll be glad if you deny it.

Visual thoughts

Every once in a while I wake up in a drought
My fresh mind gets disturbed by an earthquake
The vibrations turn into trills of chills
I shover, I seek for confirmation through the cracks in the soil I am shaking on
I look up and in the far distance I see a little lake, accompanied by a lonely, healthy palm tree
I forget the fatigue and ache, I let them blow away by the breeze that gently strikes my iced face
Liberated from my inner flame, I fly to my nutritious sight
Only to find out it was nothing more than a fata morgana
Driven by hope, I take one more step towards the disappearing oasis
When I make the fatal mistake of falling into a crack
I look down and feel the darkness grabbing my feet with hot hands
The fall seems infinite, still, I don't have a sense of time nor place
Finally I'm free from the earthly illusions

act like a shark with a fake-fin

Hidiho!

Yeaa yeaah, I know I've been away for too long. I had many good reasons though: exams and homework! These last weeks have been stressful, and they seemed never-ending. But I survived! All hail, Ilham. Gaw, I know.. I gotta spit it out; my dear disney buddy MJ has left this earth! It's so surreal, I always thought Michael was immortal. Alright, that's not true, but still; he was the king of pop! Hmm, it's a shame so just blame it on the boogie!

In the meantime I'm almost crippled. My rightleg has been bothering me for three months now, and it got to the stage where I can't walk for more than 1 km. How f-up is that?! It's hard to remain optimistic when you're not able to sleep properly and you keep having this nagging pain in your leg. You know that feeling when you can't sleep because you can't find the right position to sleep in, and then you just give up because you're so tired and then you fall asleep? Well, that's exactly my every-night routine nowadays, except for the fact that I can't give up 'cause every position is painful. Scheisse right?
Better appreciate your body, without it, you'd be nowhere (literally and figurally speaking).
Alright! Enough complaints ! BREAKING GOOD-NEWS: I'm going to Bratislavaaaaa! No, it's not in Slovenia, but in Slovakia! I'll be leaving friday night and we're staying in a PINK hostel! I'm curious about the city, it's so divided (the old town, and new city with modern architecture) and I think, underrated.

New series of pictures: ''your heavy hearted childhood''

Soon I'll post some random stuff about observations and theories. Just stay tuned!

'Cause no one rolls like my gangsta bro!

That's all folks!

Daffodils in Spain

Hola a todos!

SO I've been to Spain, Salamanca. So it was quite amazing. So I did alot. So I met cool people. So yeah, I wanna go back.

Remember when I said I would love to have the power to stretch out moments so I could enjoy them more? Well, this pronouncement, totally applies to my visit to Salamanca.
A small summary, so you have a notion of what I have been doin in Salamanca: Visited 2 museums, one with art deco and art nouveau, with a big collection of very scary ''muñecas'' (dolls). The other museum was located in Segovia, that's a small city we visited on Thursday. I loved Segovia, really small and typical, colorful spanish buildings. We wanted to enter the cathedral but we weren't aloud to. I did visit the cathedral in Salamanca, with Ravi and Rodante. Everyday we went to school, and we had a teacher who was thinking out loud. Which was kind of funny.Oh, and it was so weird, EVERY day we were late for school or appointments! It was like fate didn't want us to be on time, since we got interrupted by people talking to us, every time!

In Salamanca there was a big square, ''plaza Mayor''. This functioned as a meetingpoint for students. If you wanted to go out, but you first had to meet up with other people, you just had to say ''debajo del reloj'' (below the clock). Haha, it seemed like all the people in Salamanca were having mysophobia! They cleaned the ''plaza mayor'' every night, and if you looked closely you saw that everyone was cleaning! Kind of suspicious, hmmm.... ''the Secret of Salamanca''.

Eh, but yeah! So we had two suitmates who were off the hook! They were from Boston, and they came with a group from their University. Shout outs to Carlotta, Rosmery, Ravi, and the whole group! I wish I had the pictures of when we were Salsa-dancing. It was so much fun!
We did have a salsa lesson at our school in Salamanca, and the teacher was a liiiitle narcistic. Haha, he really thought he was all that!

Nuf talk, pictures time!!!

The most delicious ''churros con chocolate''!!! Houston...I think I just landed on a Cathedral woops.. Sweet ''calles'' One entrance/exit of the Plaza Mayor El reloj! Dunno what it is, but it was across from our house

Heading back to Holland In the morning, waiting an hour and a half for the bus! Meet art.. Looks like dark foam

Avila!

This guy was just downright amazing.

Everything, or nothing?

Hi flowers! Get ready for a very messy post! Haha, I'm very happy at this moment. Aah. Though I'm pretty irritated by my boring lay-out. Gonna change that soon enough! Eh, ánd I ate sushi today, ánd it was sincerely nice. Ánd last week I've had tons of tests to make at school. And they all went great! Hehe, my goal is to have an average of 8/10. Minimum. Haha. Oeeeh, sunday I'll be leaving for Salamanca! Ai ai aiii! So I'm listening to buena vista social club all the time to get in the mood. So Yeah, I know it's pretty early, since I won't leave this awkward country until sunday.
I think Spain has such a warm, inviting culture. Very much like Moroccan (reconquista and the Moors, duh.. huge influence), but even more inviting. It's like they always want you to join them for a dance on a very warm summernight, on a ''plaza del amor!''. People here are so like the weather. It always changes, but most of the time they're distant and cold, resembling the rain. Meh. Can't wait to get out. I mean, I love Amsterdam, but I think that's more because I grew up here and the architecture in the city is so typical. By the way, I want to learn more about che guevara and Fidel Castro! And more South-American history.

Got play in a few minutes, excited! Today I had a philosphy exam, and it was about knowledge theory. So what we can know for sure and searching for boundries which restrict us to know more than we can have any knowledge about. Very interesting, but also very difficult.
Berkeley claimed that if you have never apperceived something, it doesn't excist. But I think he contradicts himself by saying that God dóes exist. he also says that if you, for example, are at school and you can't see your house, that it's not there. So we give qualities life. I think that's selfish. Because if you agree with him, then that's like saying that this whole universe wouldn't be here if we all closed our eyes and that's extremely selfish!
I get back later on that, oh and I'm going to write a fable soon!

Lots of love and stuff!

Build your laugh

...so you can live in it.

Hello mankind!
I've finally found out what I want to study, and where! Suspense drums... Architecture! Yeah man, in London baby!!! Well at least, at Sheffield Uni or UCL (University College London). Pretty exciting huh! I've always loved designing, and technology. So the combination is very appealing to me. There still has to be done loads of stuff for my portfolio. But it's gonna be crack-a-lackin''! Soon there's gonna be a post dedicated to my love for buildings, design and more...

Next up is a new song from Regina Spektor's new album; Far. The song is called; Laughing with.. and I adore it. Just listen to it, the song will do the rest.



Yesterday I went to ''Scheveningen'' with my kick-ass lil bro and my sister. Here are some pics I took:

I especially like the last one. It has rest (sunset), speed (smudged trees), and continuity (the grey beam of the highway) in it...
