Ozzy day

Yeah. I am stuck on an island. In Belize. After the huge storm last night we could not get any fresh water or electricity for a day. Lovely, isnt't? :). So..I am stuck on an island in Belize in a hostel with 27 monkeys from around the world. But today all the Australians celebrate and I had difficulties getting my turn on this computer :))). Cat Empire is on and we've been drinking since 13:00. What else could you do on a stormy day like today? Its hot, its very hot and there is.....something...in the air that turns you on. I've been walking 'round this island mentaly errected all day long, dancing wiht this tricky Carribean breeze, the bay is my dancefoor. Smells like fish and lobsters. I have lost probably 3 kg last few days with mainly a Cuba Libre in my hand.....

A Tribute To All Ozzies...!!!

Last



Here I am sitting in my room, sipping wine, observing my luggage. Two bags is all I am going to carry with me on this journey far from here. Two bags. When exactly did I stop caring about belongings, things, clothes? So easy to disconnect. So light for a new transition. It felt kinda sad today while packing the suitcases that I am not taking with me- how much is going to be left behind. Clothes soaked in human touch, over-washed, over-worn. Books- read, reread or untouched left for those who will have the chance to find them. Posters, flyers, documents, lecture notes, socks, bed sheets, towels. Yeah, my five month stay in Breda was all this and much more - all those faces downstairs discussing Obama, sex, drugs, music, religion, environment. The family. :). So, instead of sitting here in my room, sipping wine and observing my luggage ( : ) I am gonna get my white Eastern European ass downstairs and celebrate my last night in Europe (celebrate = get hammered = no mercy for the Europeans)

Yuil, Paradiso....



James Yuil. This long-legged South-Londoner was hosted by Noodlandig in Paradiso, Amsterdam last Thursday and I really cannot tell you how I ended up over there. Accompanied by a few wasted Finish and Bulgarians I danced hystericaly, watched the weirdos around me and tried to keep my special new vest, kindly presented to me by Ani, safe from harm (a.k.a. spilled bier). You can't really find much info about this James online but one is sure - from the first time I listened to No Surprise I tried to download whatever available on the net...well in vain. However, the party was enjoyable, the bier abundant and as the weekend progressed many new pleasurable and not-so-pleasurable events took place. I really regret not having my camera with me when I got lost in this hostel downtown hopelessly looking for the toilet. Nowhere to be found in this section of the building unlike the many "strange" faces and places that were to be found on the second and first floor. Simly Amsterdam. My last Amsterdam adventures this year probably. But great great stories are comming up! Firts shot- Tequillaland Fiday Night. See you there!

No Surprise?!

Sin techo



B1: Pst. Shut up, Kami is sleeping!
B2: No, she is not.
B1: But look- her eyes are closed, man!
B2: Oh, she is not sleeping, she’s traveling right now. Like last night for example she was back in Barcelona. Catching sunlight on top of Arco del Triumfo.
B1: Do you think she met Max at MACBA – they had an appointment. In their dreams.
B2: There was no time. She had to catch a flight. Again.
B1: Do you think she’s scared?
B2: Of what? Kami is a tough apple (giggling).
B1: Of leaving.
B2: Not right now. But she knows she will always have to be somewhere else, visit new lands and all the new people she meets she will be missing so much. It’s not scary. But it’s filling her hearth with sooo much emotion...
B1: Hm..And then sleep will come to mess her up, like that song... I think she is with them when she closes her eyes.
B2: Yes, indeed. But strong people choose their lives themselves and not the other way around. She told me one day that there is a whole world to be changed. I .. could not really get that. Do you know what she meant?
B1: Don’t look at me, dude, I am the stoner (giggling).
B2: Yeah, we’ll be in good hands I hope. Ciudadanos De La Tierra.
B1: Hey what was that – Mandarin?!!
B2: No man Spanish! But hey lets wake her up…Kami, wake up!!!
B1: Gotta go to Amsterdam. Do you remember? The flowers? There we go…..How was that in Spanish…Vamonos!!!

Le Le @ Mezz

Honestly, there are not that many Dutch artists that I would regret not seeing live (No offense). But the party animals from Le Le definitely deserve attention. This motley electro bomb consists of P. Fabergé (former member of De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig - we have to give them credit for the cool lyrics) , Piet Parra and Rimeroni Vuman (from Comtron) and have been keeping the smile on my face with tracks like Breakfast, Skinny Jeans and International Pants. Exclusively in the MEZZ podium Breda on 24. 01.2009. Well…guess what? Kami will be sitting on a plane across the Atlantic Ocean probably on a sleeping mode.
I wanna bite my nails and pick my hairs!!! I so much wanted to have an orriginal shirt with those weird creatures (TM Parra) and scream " You're the cheese on my baggette, the jelly on my bread... "
Well I will have to wait and hope that next year I will be able to have some of these Dutch tasty-looking.....
