Night


The full moon shone through the clouds as I walked from the train station to my parents house. Earlier I’d seen a similar scene when I was waiting at my local train station. It wasn’t late, but I was totally alone. No one in sight. When the train arrived, lots of people got off, but only I jumped in. No one traveling the same route as me, that night.

Once there I treated myself to a hot bath. It’s often the first thing I do when I get there, sort of a ritual. iPod on, water running, eyes closed, another world.

I spend Saturday afternoon putting up (newly bought) christmas lights. Appereantly LED lights are now the hottest thing christmas light wise, but as I found out they’re pretty expensive. At my own home I’ll stick to generic lights, for now.

Putting them up wasn’t the easiest thing ever. I had to get myself into impossible positions to hammer in the seven or so metal-support-thingies that I could attach the waterfall-style lights to. The result was different than I expected, but it’s okay I guess. There are just so many options when it comes to putting up the christmas lights…

My week started slow. I left the radio on for a change after it woke me. That’ll be the last time in a while… it certainly reminded me why I hate (certain) radio stations. Heard only two songs in thirty minutes time, and way too many irritating commericals. I want to hear music. I don’t want to listen to a couple of people laughing at their own stupid jokes. Oh well, I’ll probably give it another shot in a few weeks or so. At nights it can be okay, most stations just put on a playlist at that time and except for the commerical breaks it’s bearable. I just can’t stand those self indulgent disc jockeys for long…

Thought long and hard about what I write here. There’s always stuff to say, but I must admit that I feel limited in the subjects I candicuss because of the variaty of people reading this. That’s probably why I’ve been writing so much in my protected section. With the exception of certain entries about general interests of mine, when I write I write for myself. I have no problem in sharing them, but unfortunatly so many of them not with everyone.

I do have a note on my desktop with a few subject ideas for me to write about, but so far I haven’t found the will to actually go through with writing them. They’ll come, I just have to get back into the rhythm of writing public posts. Too many big things have been happening lately, and somehow I lack the energy to write about all of them – even though I want to.

(newly bought) christmas lights. zucht ;)

omdat je in het engels schrijft vind ik het een stuk moeilijker om te lezen.. Maar goed ik heb het zelfde op dit moment, er zijn een aantal dingen gebeurd die ik zou moeten beschrijven.. maar ik heb er geen energie in.. en er te veel emoties aan vuil maken is ook niet goed.. na ja goed ik weet het zoals gewoonlijk ook niet..

Ik schrijf vooral in het Engels omdat ik het persoonlijk prettiger vind, en daarmee gelijk ook meer mensen zou kunnen bereiken.

Over het schrijven: mja, soms wil je wel ergens over schrijven maar kun je gewoon de energie niet vinden. Ik forceer het dan ook maar niet, anders komt het er toch verkeerd uit. Als het echt belangrijk genoeg is, dan komt het vanzelf, en anders vergeet je het weer of denk je er niet meer aan.

Oh, I know what you mean about the radio station. I am never much a radio listener but I used to listen in couple of years ago and I felt the same – the programm was listening on the late hours when they only had songs. The programms – like morning ones what are very popular here – I hate it. There are people who think what they say are funny and make those lames jokes.. it is horrible.. not that there are many stations that play music I might like.. but it was good thing to use to break the silence..

Iardacil,

I completely agree… most radio show hosts love themselves just a little too much. Even if the station plays good music, it’s only a few songs an hour. What happened to radio being about the music?

Like most people here I prefer music over talk when listening to radio at home. But this doesn’t matter cause you see; millions of people listen to radio while traveling to work by car, often stuck in traffic. Listening to the stories, interviews and news while driving sleep drunk in the early morning is for some reason pleasantly amusing.

Also, radio for music is more of a 20th century thing.

You’re right, Ivan. I realize there are many people that enjoy listening to ‘talk radio’. There is still music, but it’s been put into the background on popular stations. No one is forcing me to listen to the radio anyway, so you’re right, it doesn’t really matter.
