Jazzy Vibrations

Let me be honest - everything in New Orleans is fluid. Life feels so fragile as everything around us is under risk of either floods, hurricanes, termites, crazy gun guys or God knows what.

So locals found the way to deal with that unbearable shortness of life.


Everyone fills their existence with so much jazz as possible. Local cyclists equipped their bicycles with loudspeakers so that they can listen to their music anywhere they go. Pedestrians and drivers love the jazz of portable loudspeakers too. Ferries and trains blow their horns all day all night.  Air Conditioners mounted around NOLA and our house are jazzing all the time.


As the below-sea-level Mississippi delta forms a sort of concert shell all this jazz mixes up and echoes back at everyone. Scientists gave in to JAZZ too :)

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.
