Early one monday morning
Hours before I really should get up
I open the window and feel the cold air blowing
Outside
But meanwhile, inside
I've made myself a cup of tea
The contrasting warmth I get from it
makes my mind wander as I sit here
Relaxing in a comfortable chair in the middle
of the room
Leaving the lights off
Just listening, thinking
about things

A Mess
It's night and I'm wide awake. The watch on my laptop tells me it's quarter to 01 AM. I really should get some sleep, but I just don't feel like it. I'm tired, but somehow not enough. Right now there are as many good reasons to stay up, than not. The two halfs of my brain are having a heated debate on the subject, throwing the arguments in eachother's faces (?!?), but none of them seems to win the thing. I agree with both of them. The left one fights for education, the right one for creativity. For most people the first option makes much more sense than the latter, but I need both of them. I have to get educated to get by, but my passion is to create. "Most people". They say creativity is at it's peak at night, and I agree with that to a certain extent.
But who are "they" really? as a friend I often have epic chats with put it. That question is an interesting one, and lately I've been thinking a lot about it, and it's a hard one. Anyway, we had a discussion on the matter, which I enjoyed, and she in particular had some really good points. We agreed that in a perfect world nobody should get expectations out of what other people have said, especially when the others are persons unknown. But then, again, it will never be like that, but individuals can, if they are determined to do it, at least try to be less expecting. For instance, if you want to buy an album in a record store, and the ones working there tells you that the album you're looking for has received mostly negative reviews, you are in a way forced to judge it before listening to it. But, and this is the point: You can choose not to! Don't take other people's opinions for absolute truths. What matters is what you think. If the idea, concept, project or whatever is of interest to you, by all means go ahead and check it out. Don't throw it away before taking a closer look just because somebody talks the thing down. Popular views aren't laws written in stone, you don't have to follow the masses if you don't feel like it.
Come to think of it, what I said earlier about the record store wasn't the best example in the world, as almost nobody's buying records anymore. Kind of sad, as I personal love to hold the albums, and especially vinyl records in my hands. Nowadays I guess the shops would recommend anything for you just to get a sale. But you catch my drift. I hope...
Yes, digressions are my thing.
Time flies. All of a sudden I've become really tired, and I can't see no other option than to let my left brain win tonight's battle. I often need quiet music to fall asleep to, and what I've noticed is that Leonard Cohen is a perfect choice. Not in the sense that his work is boring, it's really quite the opposite. It's dynamic, poetic and makes you think. When I have fallen asleep to his music and lyrics, I often wake up the next morning having dreamed about things similar to those found in his beautiful songs, or poems as they truly are.

"-ation"
Read fast please!
So you think I am asian? I expect no explanation, no new nation, proclamation
I'm not starting a sugar plantation on any different location, or going on vacation
It's just that the whole creation is the foundation of my frustration
A new relation, animation and admiration in combination with a dedication
To you
That is why I sing this song
That is why we get along so well

Poem
How come the sky is so blue
How come I can't be there too
Surfing the clouds in a weather balloon
Waiting for someone, I hope it'll be you
Taking us places none of us knew
A dream come true
How come the night is so dark
How come I'm not in the park
Strolling along while the trees say hello
With you by my side, I guess both of us know
It's the lamps above us that makes the lifeless night glow
Although they're low
How come the desert's so dry
How come I'm always so shy
I guess it's all part of a daily routine
Something you're used to, presenting yourself clean
And even if nobody get what you mean
Life is not on the big screen
How come I can't be there too
Surfing the clouds in a weather balloon
Waiting for someone, I hope it'll be you
Taking us places none of us knew
A dream come true
How come the night is so dark
How come I'm not in the park
Strolling along while the trees say hello
With you by my side, I guess both of us know
It's the lamps above us that makes the lifeless night glow
Although they're low
How come the desert's so dry
How come I'm always so shy
I guess it's all part of a daily routine
Something you're used to, presenting yourself clean
And even if nobody get what you mean
Life is not on the big screen

Then I guess it's my turn to start blogging.
So why am I starting this blog? I'll be honest with you. It was not for any particular reason at all, but I guess once you think about it there are many reasons to do so.
If you thought this blog would be solely based around the magnificent banjoplaying of a strange butler I'm very sorry to dissappoint you. Allthough I do own a banjo myself, and have been playing it for some years.
I guess it will be featuring anything really, you'll just have to wait and see.
I can't really think of anything else to write about at this moment, but I'll be back as soon as I have something worthy to put down.
