in 2005, i spent a little over three months exploring the “far far away”, and in the process i learned to appreciate even more the place i call home.
i think i may have to try and regain this sense of appreciation.

if things are going to be like they seem now, it’s going to be an exhausting new year. :-\
one of these days, i’m going to try and find a way to make christmas time NOT be the most stressful time of the year.
it doesn’t help that it’s the choir high season.
i had to put the handbrake on today.
rather than “5 minutes to midnight”, it was “2 minutes past midnight”.
as much as i hate to not deliver what i’ve promised, i do feel relieved now.
memo to self: remember this for next time.
quite fitting, at the moment:
try to remind myself that i was happy here
before i knew that i could get on a plane and fly away
from the road where the cars never stop going through the night
to a life where i can watch the sunset
i don’t have time
i don’t have time
…i’m not even gone yet.
spür ein zittern, spür es seit tagen.
wollte aufstehn, komm nicht aus dem bett.
und ich frage mich wieso seit jahren
es viel zu viele stunden gab, in denen nichts passiert ist.dominik plangger – spür ein zittern (album: gestern noch)

i ran into tom this afternoon.
i either hadn’t seen him in more than a week, or it was too short for me to remember.
there was a 30-second-overlap in spacetime: he had to catch his bus, i just got off mine and was walking home. we had a short “conversation” while walking in opposite directions, which lasted until we were so distant that talking loudly became shouting.
it seems sad, considering that we’re brothers and live nextdoor…
