A guy asked me what I did so I said "not kids. I am done with the kids. I have enough kids already and I know too many friends of my kids. I wake up at 6 every single fucking week day. Not doing kids, no, not anymore". Then I noticed I was all alone, probably for most of my whining speech.

I don't mind sleeping 5h / night as long as my eyes don't hurt in the morning. But they do.

BERNIE: Thinking’s not the problem. We freeze up because we expect a certain result or because we want things to be perfect. We can get so fixated that we can’t do anything. Goals are fine; what I don’t like is getting caught up in expectations or attachments to a final outcome. So the question is, how do you play freely?

JEFF: Just throw the fucking ball!

Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin settling like crows
Though I never perfected that simian stroll
But the cigarette scent, it was everything then

Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket boys!

My gym mix is everything above 125 bpm. Random. 300 of them, just in case.

The thing that really helps me to go through all that elliptical bike and kettle bell shit is the thought of the beers and schnaps I'll have in the afternoon.

I'll take another photograph
Before the old one fades
It reminds me of those things that past
And quickly passed away

Every time I listen to Elbow's Leaders of the Free World (this time from Live at Jodrell Bank) I remember Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds. It's the guitar.

Every day, glimpses into possible futures: heroic, sisyphic, glamouros, exciting or just plain vanilla suburbia, all appealing, all equal and all real, all flawed.

Questions to ask your priest: "Who created Ganesha?", "Who created Horus?". "What about Zeus and Thor?"

"Dad, why did they invented religion?"

Because of fear my boy. Fear of unknown, fear of unleashed nature, fear of illness, fear of randomness of our life and fear of death. Nothing beats a good story, my boy, nothing beats a good story.

“But if you are going somewhere else, let me say this much: At least change the boat and the oars. Say I get to the other side, what do I do? Well, I got here thanks to this beautiful boat with the set of oars, so I’ll just hold on to them and carry them wherever I go. Isn’t that weird? Now I’ve got the burden of carrying around whatever got me here. Instead I get rid of it, and I’m free. Time passes and now I want to get to the next other shore. I’ll probably need a new kind of boat and different oars, because maybe now the other shore is on the other side of the ocean and that requires a whole other mode of transportation.”

But I do remember them boats and oars.

If you want to get to another shore, and another one after that, you have change the boat, the oars, and also the people you hang with.

I've been shutting down myself several times in the past, both consciously and unconsciously. Shutting down is the thing I am best at.
