I’m writing user guides to Dnevnik and Capital for dummies. It breaks my heart.

January
Do I have a post with the same title from last year?
Wouldn’t surprise me.
Have I mentioned how much I loath this bloody month? Everything feels like crap. It’s a freaking dementor month. Sucks all the happiness out of you and make you feel like you can never be cheerful again.
I always spend January preparing for its end. The end with all the despair, memories and stuff that...

Early year closeup
Yeah, I’ll write one of those what-my-year-was-all-about posts. Just ignore me, it’s gonna be boring as hell. (Listening to Smith&Burrows’ Only You can get you in the mood for such nonsense).
So, 2011. Amazing year.
Peace. I found the closest thing to peace I’ve ever felt. We’ll see how that goes.
I lost control. Professionally. With every person that left,...

Enough now
Enough. Coldplay in O2 is gonna have to be the hugest gig I will ever go to. I don’t regret it, it was beautiful and really impressive and Fix You at the end left me breathless. But right now I’m watching my video from BSS’s concert @Heaven last may and I realize this is what I want.
I wanna watch Gomez in the tiny hall of a small dutch town, I wanna be three meters away from...

I dreamt about the Kid finding out. I’ve been awake for 30 minutes with a weird feeling and it just hit me. It was horrible, embaracing, humiliating beyond anything I’ve felt. I’m loosing control.
This is what Nick calls going out of your comfort zone. Unknowing, uncertain, blindfolded, wondering between options.
And angry. I’m angry all the time, gritting my teeth so...

I already dream about
the moment when my inbox will stop to receive all kinds of company crap and will be full of emails from the kids and with gig announcements, album announcements, presale announcements and confirmations, pictures for print and stuff for brainstorming.
I will love that Inbox. I will leave the 7348 unread emails as a reminder of what it used to be for some time and then when I’m no longer...

I have Radiohead tickets.
I’ve been waiting for this for almost two years now. And it’s not enough to make this day good. I find this almost impossible to bear. Or maybe I’m just overreacting.

I’m going trough the drafts again today. The thoughts put into words in out-of-control times. Bold words. Honest.
Of course I chickened out every time and never published them. Or published them and then took them down.
I’m too paranoid nowadays, I realized recently. More paranoid about control than I’ve ever been. It hit me on friday while talking to Max about about his own...
Last time I started stalking someone’s blog things didn’t end well. Things didn’t end well AT all.

People always leave
I keep a written count of all the people that leave.
A cute obituary column…
I write down the things I miss most about each and every one of them, a list of useless stuff that noone never gave a shit about… a funny belt, a size too small t-shirt, a nervous laugh, a bad temper that’s about something completely different… the colour of their hair, the smell of their necks,...

He’s wise, that boy of mine. “It’s not that we get things out of hand, really”, he said tonight.
“It’s just that we do so much more in so little time that it seems we don’t have time for anything…
But if the events of the last 10 days (and he starts naming them one after the other) happened to you during six months five years ago, you would have...

I’m gonna miss it. I know the other one is better. Sounds better, looks better, has better keys, better note stand, better pedals, better, better, better… But I got mine while I was lost and it helped me return to sense. I hope my sister finds her peace in it too.
I’m moving next week. And I’m a little scared. But just a little. Cause at the end of the day, everything...
