Hopeless emptiness



I went to Perth. It is a nice slow motion city. I bought one book there. It turned out to be about Sydney:



“…At the very word “philosophy” people in Sydney run away in droves, reach for revolver; the look down at their shoes, they smile indulgently, they go blank…”


I do not write in English so often anymore. My friends from Switzerland employed software which translates everything into German. It hit me. Why to struggle and write in a foreign to me language then? I can’t find a good reason for it. It is probably about location.


“…From being the most unphilosophical city in the world, Sydney has become the most psychological city in the world…”


If you want to save money on psycho analysis please mix the book on “Pages” with movie on “Revolutionary Road” by Sam Mendes. It should shake you and awake you. It moved me yesterday night..


One asked me how is it to live in OZ land? It is first of all very easy – I answered. People here do not see it and at the same time are more than afraid to leave this comfort zone. It leads to boredom and question about sense of life and maybe to silent desperation too.


The couple from the movie gives up their dreams to money and conformity. They are dragged back to the crowd of similar people - smiling, nice and rich in their hopeless emptiness.

I simply have to diarize that Thrilling Tuesday (19 June 2018). That Tuesday didn't start anything special.

The hairdresser turned out to be a rock/jazz band singer and I could not stop asking for more details. Is there anywhere a place on Earth, except for New Orleans, where singers recruit their fans by trimming their hair :) ? Anyway, here is one of the videos of  that rock & roll hairdresser Barbarella Blue (like all well-established Kardashian-like stars in USA Barbarella Blue has Instagram too):  A chatter with Barbarella made me come late to viewing World Cup game at the Botany Lab, Tulane University. Fan W. set up the projector and the live channel before I came. Few colleagues joined us in supporting Poland against Senegal. What a disgraceful game it was for Poland! One deflection off P...

Igatsus

= missing/craving. Today I won't write a lot because I am still ill and in addition I went through stressful and very long IELTS test. Let us listen together a guy who created a band in Estonia called Sun and this song used to accompany me almost everyday thanks to "SkyPlus" radio playing loudly in my ex-workplace in "Green Fairy" Greenhouse in Tartu: Refrain goes like this: Igatsus pole süüdi Do not blame craving Igatsus teeb head Craving does good Igatsus annab teada Craving lets you know Armastus meist inimesed teeb Love is what makes humans out of us I dont have to miss my Estonia anymore. I followed my Estonia to Australia : )

Few days ago my friend Bartek sent to me this picture: It is a view from his window. Transport/communication in Lublin at the time of this white precipitation was paralysed. Bartek asked me to stop uploading pictures of sunny Australia : ) if I want to save him from depression.
