~ a partial print ~


the last pic i made at ingesund.
finished it around 3 or 4 a.m. after twenty-something hours of non-sleeping, and with another twenty-something sleepless hours ahead. i waited for the taxi that would take me to the train station at 5:10 a.m. i was writing a letter as an attachment to the cd, using the rainy pen on a sand-coloured paper. i don't remember what i've written (; probably a weird mixture of metaphysical, silly and random stuff. the regular.

cover-making was put off to the last minute. but of course.
the idea came to me at one of the last lectures in the history of nordic art.
well, the results were that i was packed, the dormitory was cleared of any useful tools and so - i didn't have any pencil to make a sketch, no ruler to measure the paper and - no scissors to cut out the cover. i used a huge kitchen knife. now imagine this: me, in a lunatic state in the morning greyness, with a huge kitchen knife, cutting paper. i could call it 'adventure' ^^' though i swore a bit in all languages i knew. from greek to japanese.
didn't have a glue either. the pic is fastened by rolled tape and i really hope nobody will get ahe idea to take the pic out.

the cd itself was the promised cd in exchange for the one i got from peter last november. it should be the bestest songs ever but i so suck at choosing such stuff. so i just copied the playlist i was listening to the whole may. and called it a partial print. well, 'my variation on...'
77 tracks, peter's lucky number doubled. mostly singer-songwriter, indie, alternative, downtempo, ballad and female-vocalists. we'll see (;

the thought in the pic is catching myself. the relation was-am-will be. the process of getting grip of the essence, grasping a continuum instead of getting stuck in a confused existential staccato.

~ son et lumière ~





so turn off your phone and bring some sheets
so this is a place where young lovers meet

hey, i cried to this clip last night, can't stop watching it.
why do sad love stories seem so much more real than happy-ends?

i'm listening to this song, looking at that flashing mobile screen and hands. throat. but mostly hands. reading their charge.

thinking.
about soulmates i'll never meet.
because they're gone. an accidental death. a stupid underestimation. a bus someone missed. a glimpse someone misunderstood. a smile someone overlooked. a calling someone didn't hear in city's noise.
about happiness that can be cut off in a second, when one truly believes that a miracle is happening now and that nothing can go wrong. and runs with hands full and flushing cheeks just to crash his head into the asfalt ground a moment later. eyes dimmed, lips frozen halfway through a word that yet a while before had meant everything.

anger at people who don't dare to feel and do is a secondary feeling. hurt and disappointment preceed it.
i believe i'm not the only one who understands that, truly, human life is unbelievably fragile, while fortune ruling it - cruel and unpredictable. that in the blink of an eye we can lose everything that we love and that fills our reality with meaning. sometimes though i feel as if i was alone in not wasting time for cowardly excuses and stepping back.

oh, sam
oh, sam

and now i've just come to this thought -
- that death doesn't take what already belongs to her. she's not the least interested in living dead people or emotional zombies, because she already owns them. she turns her eyes towards the ones who radiate with warmth and life - the britghter light, the greater greed she feels.

it feels heavy but i remember,
world can end in a second.
