I have to say.. its been quite a while since I did this thing.. Well, since I seriously did this blogging thing I mean.. Some useless links nobody cares about.. Its not what blogging is all about. Blogging is about Soul! And I guess I lately dont have any soul left to put in that. Which is a good thing actually. It means that my life is richer now than it was..
it also means that I have that much on my hands that I cant find time to write stuff.. And thats tragic too :)
Music soothes even the savage beast. And my newest (re)discoveries are The Rat Pack, Norah Jones, Gorillaz and Beethoven..
We re going snowboarding tomorrow! At last! Im madly looking forward to it!
Im glad I got to some RoD Stuff.. and I'll be even happier when this mad rollercoaster stops & I can peacefully enjoy my internship! Internship + Pizzahut will be a breather after School + Pizzahut + School Tasks!
Altougth I'm glad I got to awe my english teach by writing a small text.. Maybe I should put it up here? Maybe I will.. So here it is ;)
Why I am having such a hard time attending the English courses on Monday morning..
By me
As always there are two possible answers to this question. Two answers that have equal right of existence, two answers that are equally correct in their own respect. One of them, people like to call Fiction. Or bullshit if you want. The other is commonly referred to as Truth, reality or "The totality of all things possessing actuality, existence, or essence." So lets take a look at those answers.
One answer shows a view of me, working hard in school for numerous courses, trying to cope with the enormous amount of work. Every day, I either go to school or I do tasks and other work related stuff. But lets be honest, my life is more that that! Yes, indeed, because on those not so rare moments that I am NOT going to school or doing homework, I squander my time at Pizza hut! And not because of some freakish pizza addiction, No! I'm there because THAT is the job that pays my rent.. Of course this schedule makes it hard to fit in everything else I need to do.. Visiting my mom in the hospital was quite difficult, but she STOP!
I could go on for quite some time here, but lets be honest.. This answer is starting to look like reality, and nobody likes that.. So lets have a peek at the second answer and figure out if we like that one!
It was Saturday, around 7 pm and I was getting ready to relax a bit by reading trough the more exciting parts of my English course, trying to recite them by heart. Viona, my lovely girlfriend, had taken her usual place on the couch. Ready and anxious to hear the already 6th instalment of "Unit 2 Emails". I know by now that she especially looks forward to "3 Can I send attachments?" and quite dreads the "5 Am I flaming someone?" chapter. That's why I always try to read a bit faster there.. I do think she appreciates the effort. Anyhow, we were getting ready and I had taken the Orator's stance, as described by Mr David Keanrick and Mr Enoch Mossop in Blackadder the Third (if memory serves me right). My lungs filled with air as I prepared for the Roar (as is accustomed at the start of every great speech - Thank you again, Mr David Keanrick and Mr Enoch Mossop) when out of nowhere a door flung open. Now, I hear the scepticism flowing.. Doors opening isn't really peculiar, and I agree! The curiosity is in the detail, the door. It seemed to have appeared out of thin air. A door stood where no door was to be expected. As you can imagine, this was quite a surprise. We've been living in that tiny place of ours for nearly 17 months, so discovering a New door all of a sudden was quite .. weird. And so was the little guy walking trough it. A small imp like person. I had a flash of Poe and immediately asked "Are you The Imp Of The Perverse?" The imp sighed, walked to the couch and asked "Why do all you humans have to ask that? Is that REALLY the idea you have of us?" .. I was baffled "well.. euh.. no.. euhrm.. I didn't want to .." The Imp watched me in disbelief and asked "Speechless? .. They never get it right at HQ.. I had explicitly asked for an Eloquent person!" "HQ?" I asked.. The amazement was wearing off. "Never mind that," the imp said, "We need a balloon! We need a balloon and a rope! And .. Oh, eurhm.. make that 2 ropes since there are two of you this time." I couldn't believe my ears. "I don't think so!" I screamed, "we're right in the middle of something here! We don't have time for your shenanigans." "Oh" said the Imp. "Well, that's alright, I'm no imp anyway, I'm just the little guy that lives on the other side of that door." We were finally getting somewhere. Information! "What IS on the other side of that door.. And how did it get here?". "That's two questions", the imp like thing said. "And the first one is quite a stupid one too. I just told you. My Home is what is on the other side." He told us this very matter of factly. As if the door had been there since the beginning of times and we were just extremely stupid for not having noticed it before. The imp was already continuing whatever he was saying. I missed the first part, but I tuned back in right about when he was saying.. "so stop asking stupid questions and come with me!" Viona was already getting up from the couch, so I decided to trust her judgement and follow the imp trough the small door. This is where the whole thing went really weird.
The next 2 days were filled with fantastic experiences and incredible people involved in unbelievable adventures. I'll never forget the juggling pigs, that thing with the rainbow and that Hilarious moment where the candle fell in a bucket of water.. (I suppose it was one of those "you had to be there" moments, so never mind) It was a great adventure! After all we had gone trough, the imps granted us permanent access to their network of doors, enabling me to pop out in the school privies, right in time to meet my English teacher in the hall and attend my Networking class on Tuesday.
So, there it is.. Two answers to that same dreadful question! Reality or fantasy, the important thing is that I now have unlimited access to the imps door network! The down side, on the other hand, is that they all have problems and seem to be unable to solve them without My help!
There it is indeed.. I quite like what I wrote here.. it makes me smile.. And happy. Happy because I managed to write a short story that makes me smile! I quite fancy a writing carreer when I grow too old to work.. Time will tell its tale ;)
