Waking up in an empty bed

The girl and the sheets were cheering, but I still woke up alone in someone else's bed.

Some loss, few gain

Lately there seems to be two flows: one that's going rapidly and with an uncertain course; the other one strong but lingering.

Some loss, few gain and what I know seems to be hazy. This image is not what I wanted to achieve when I pressed the button, but it is very illustrative for the last couple of days.

Those tiny towns

They say people from the city are arrogant and impudent. This is a misconception: city people are ignorant.

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm a city girl myself. I've grown up in a city, I study in another and if I'm not in either of them, chances are I can be found in the capital city Brussels. One thing's for sure: city people know where to get the bargains, how to move around quickly and which alleyways to avoid. But we don't know we have to lower our voices, we have to show our public transport card on busses, nor do we realize that asking someone if he knows his dad isn't a self-evident question.

So if we act rather impudently, please remember, you can get the girl out of the city, but you can't get the city out of the girl.

Total eclipse of the heart

"Once upon a time there was light in my life, but now there's only love in the dark. Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart."

Singstar at Jackie's place. It's the first time we hung out together since she returned from Newcastle. Nothing has changed since; it felt like yesterday when I first beat her at Franz Ferdinand and she beat me at every other song. With Bonnie Tyler on repeat, the list of songs we'll carry with us on the road has grown. "Forever's going to start tonight"

The first steps...

Writer Ayn Rand said, "All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it- walk".

When I looked at the horizon I read my life lines as a road map and took the first step. On my way to Calgary.
