Zero Degrees

Brrr... it's really getting cold here... :) my first zero degrees. Not a big deal, but it's a first.
The next thing is to wait for snow... apparently it already snowed in some parts of Kaunas and in Vilnus.

I hope I will be lucky.

Next Thursday...

Everyday is new day, no memories, only Today. And the future... holds future plans for home, for work, for new life.

I will fly to London next Thursday. I almost don't believe it, but I've been waiting. Lithuania has been an amazing place for me, every single emotion have been reached to the maximum, every thought clear. So, next thursday, I will be in London. Just a matter of a week (plus minus). Only today I realised when someone said, "So it's next Thursday?".

SO... next thursday.

Kaunas Party

Kaunas <-> Vilnus <-> Kaunas

For a long long time, we've always went to Vilnus for parties. This time, they finally came to Kaunas! :)

Even though in Kaunas there really isn't much happening on the streets, there are some klubas (clubs) around the town, but the small town vibes still prevails! However, I must say it was a party of all times, all good friends and happie people. We first went to check out Rouge (where I did work for 3 days), which is at the moment, is one of our favourites in Kaunas. The night started slow, we adjourned home for the after party and watch a Lithuanian comedy (a little strange but was quite a teaser with its slapstick humour), and then suddenly there was sunlight... It was morning, we turned up some music, and everybody was dancing crazy!

Unfortunately, there were some unpleasant neighbours, who even came to the door and called us "drug users". Well, sorry neighbours but it was weekend. Guilt aside, the party was a blast!

*Pictures will be posted soon...

Crazy

Last night I was speaking with a friend. He told me how he lost his mind 3 years ago because of drugs. It was not addiction. I asked him if he feels alright now, he said yes. He continued and said some people get driven nuts because of problems in life, from disapointment in love and relationships, from a bankruptcy, from unemployment, or going through the death of close ones, from war. For him, he made his choice about a drug experience, and he didn't find any reason for regret about going nuts on it.

Everybody does some things to find themselves. Some people travel, go on holiday, run away from home, go to live overseas, some people work really hard, and for him, he conclude in retrospect to have found himself in this extreme mind opening drug experience, and coming through to find himself again after having gone crazy. Now, he sees the epic core of his mental distraction, and no longer finds the excuse for not knowing what to do, since he did nothing for a year. He believes that understanding and communication are most important for his spiritual evolution and that "work" is essential for the well being of any persons. We need to have something to do.

However much he has gain for himself, he finds that things have changed fast, and some of his friends have become somewhat distant.

I told him, in my opinion, nobody can be really considered crazy. Or, everybody is crazy in some ways.

I think the going crazy part was probably what people were telling him, and what he eventually told himself. I also think changes in friendships is normal and is best dealt with in acceptance.

Last night I couldn't sleep. with a hundred millions of thoughts and ideas speeding through my head. There are many things I want to do, too many "I"s to be. I guess I managed to sleep some hours eventually. After waking up, I cleaned the fridge, took a shower, made soup (pork ribs with potatoes, carrots, onions) 6 teas and 2 coffees. Today there were many guests in the house, mainly Iggy's clients. Also the plumber came to see the house for changing of pipes. Busy day, but I enjoyed it, as I have been pretty bored learning photoshop, and reading online texts.

Have you heard this song from the Beatles - Maxwell's Silver Hammer (Lennon/McCartney).
Check out this animation! http://www.funny-games.biz/animations/13-maxwellssilverhammer.html

I believe you'd agree with me that this indeed a strange and crazy song.

------------------------------------------------
Joan was quizzical; studied pataphysical
Science in the home.
Late nights all alone with a test tube.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine,
Calls her on the phone.
"Can I take you out to the pictures,
Joa, oa, oa, oan?"

But as she's getting ready to go,
A knock comes on the door.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead.

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again.
Teacher gets annoyed.
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant
Sce, e, e, ene,

She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away,
So he waits behind
Writing fifty times "I must not be
So, o, o, o.."

But when she turns her back on the boy,
He creeps up from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead.

P. C. Thirty-one said, "We caught a dirty one."
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Rose and Valerie, screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
(Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them
So, o, o, o.

But as the words are leaving his lips,
A noise comes from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead.

Whoa, oh, oh, oh.
Silver hammer man.
