weaker

I can tell I’m weaker than before. Something has been wrong with me since I came back to Hangzhou last week. I’m getting tired very fast, I have no appetite (what is bad – how thin can I be!! Zmieszanie), I’m getting angry, so many things annoy me these days. Are they just changes I experienced during my travels? If so, then how long can it last to adjust?
My mood has been also unstable: sometimes I’m melancholic, sad, want to cry, ad it takes just few moments to be extremely happy. I guess it’s not normal. Emotional swing, sleepless.
Yeah, I need to take a long rest. When? Maybe in next life… Sarkazm
I bought tickets to fly back to China. I’m going to Poland in the end of June (the ticket was purchased last year) and going to be back in mid-July. It’s a roundtrip… so yes, I know when I’m going back to Poland again. And it won’t be until March 2009… That scares me a little because it means I won’t be back home for Christmas. It’s going to be the first time I won’t spend Christmas with my family. I decided not to come back at that time because my sister-in-law has been pregnant, hopefully is giving birth in winter – I’d like to see the baby. Perhaps it won’t be born until Christmas and I want to be sure to meet a happy, enlarged family. It’s too expensive and too time-consuming to fly to Europe twice within few months.
Now I think it’s a good idea. Who knows how I’m going to feel in December.
Looking for a better world; where can I find it…?

You turn myself to me
Recognise the poison in my heart
There is no other place
No one else I face
The remedy, to agree, is how I feel"

Currently I’m in Guangzhou – I’m attending Canton Fair. So big evnt, so many people, so big city, which… unfortunately didn’t impress me much.
Anyway, everywhere you can try to find some nice places. I found! Pity, that there are not too many such places in Guangzhou.
I’m going back to Hangzhou tomorrow. Finally, I miss it!

"Don’t get any big ideas
They’re not gonna happen
You paint your smile
And fill the holes
There’ll be something missing

Just when you found it
It’s gone
Just when you feel it
You don’t
It’s gone forever"

[Radiohead, Nude, In Rainbows]

how to disappear completely

01 Apr 2008 1 Comment

What happens with people after they die? Where do they go? Can they see others?
How to disappear completely?
How to disappear completely and never be found?
The song I want to present is one of the most touching songs I have ever heard. I’m up in the sky, so high… from where everything looks so small and meaningless. I love that feeling. I’m not here. This isn’t happening. Let the music take you there. 
 
 
Radiohead: "How To Disappear Completely"
 
That there
That’s not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I’m not here
This isn’t happening
I’m not here
I’m not here

In a little while
I’ll be gone
The moment’s already passed
Yeah it’s gone
And I’m not here
This isn’t happening
I’m not here
I’m not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I’m not here
This isn’t happening
I’m not here
I’m not here

[Radiohead, How To Disappear Completely, Kid A]
