A Box of Chocolates

I was just searching for something on the internet, and then I ran into this quote. It's a quote from the X-files. I was actually quite flabbergasted when I read it, and that's exactly the reason why I post it...

"Life... is like a box of chocolates - a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that no one ever asks for, unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there's nothing else to eat while you're watching the game. Sure, once is a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but it's gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you are left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, which, if you are desperate enough to eat, leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper."

Shiny happy people

Summer is getting near. And you can read it form peoples faces. The sun really changes people. Like the throw away their fur and frolic around, just like shaved sheep who are recently released.
But it’s really true. People are smiling and are complaisant. And it looks like everybody wants others to see that they are. They want to get rid of the grey mass were they used to belong to during the dark days. And that effects the people around them as well, it’s one big synergy.

But that same big amplification also seems to make people more senseless. The best example I can think of is traffic. If I have to count the number of situations where I was almost run over by a car, almost had collisions with other cyclist, or even the number of emergency stops the tram makes, and I would get a euro for every situation, I would be rich now. But even if the horns make their alarming and neck hair arising sounds, and the bicycles bells make their tempered tinkling noises, people stay friendly and are making as much gesticulating motions as possible to say that they are sorry. And then life goes on as before, like nothing happened.

And the sun does the same to me. I’m in a good mood. Not only the scalding thing high in the sky… but also my personal sunshine realizes this feeling inside me. I’m happy, I’m blissful, and I’m proud. Proud that human beings apparently know how to enjoy life.

Yes, let spring do its work, and let the summer intensify it even more…

From Slovenia with Love

Just to let people know I'm still alive: a short post.

I moved my ass temporary to Slovenia. I arrived previous Saturday... and will leave next Tuesday again. For some reason the good things alway have an ending... but on the other hand... also the bad things come to an end. Not that it makes any difference for me; I mean, I really lived towards these days, and I'm really enjoying... but it's so fucked up. Leaving this country for me means leaving the person behind I really love. And if it makes any sense: I'm not leaving her behind in a way that she will be forgotten, I can asure everyone that the opposite will happen.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not being depressed or whatever, I'm actually really happy (and in love) now, and for sure when I'm back home and I'll look back at these days, a rush of adrenaline will pump through my venes and an immense smile will appear on my face again.

Well... I'll continue this story another time. It's better for me, coz I don't want it to get in my head too much for the remaining time I'm here.

So: will be continued... and hopefully love will be continued as well
