One more

March 2nd, 2003

I had always heard that your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that second isn’t a second at all. It stretches on forever like an ocean of time.

For me it was lying on my back at boyscout camp, watching falling stars. And yellow leaves from the maple trees that lined our street. Or my grandmother’s hands and the way her skin seemed like paper. And the first time I saw my cousin Tony’s brand new Firebird.

I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me, but it’s hard to stay mad when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, my heart fills up like a balloon about to burst. And then I remember to relax… and stop trying to hold on to it. And then it flows through me like rain. And I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every moment of my stupid little life.

You have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m sure. But don’t worry. You’ll someday.

    So. You’ve seen the movie again. You’ve liked the script. And you didn’t have any other way to tell us but by posting a couple of the most brilliant parts of it. Now… What? Man… Get a job! :-D Oh, no… You already have one… Well, then… Work on it! Oh, you probably do that on working hours… And I would reccomend you to go out and have a beer or a glass of wine. But then it turns that you are this kind of guy that enjoys those by travelling some thousand kilometres away from home (see February 18th and 23rd posts).
    Well… If any of your followers didn’t know, it’s time to let it go again: you are exceptional, lad.
    Don’t you quit updating us about your last experiences.
    Regarding Lappis… Well, you know: Lappis Pub Parties rule. They have always, and they always will.
    Hugs,

    Samer
