Crossing Borders
Sep/26/06 Filed in: World
So far this year bout 25.000 (illegal) migrants from North Africa have tried to reach Europe by boat. Many died doing so. Yesterday, in the Street of Gibraltar, three of those refugees were picked up by Spanish authorities. They tried to reach the mainland by waterbike. Dunno about you, but hey lets welcome those cool heroes, give them a hat and medal. Clap clap.
Summer Autumn
Sep/19/06 Filed in: At home
The start of autumn is a summer day. Whats happening with the world? Jeez....I'm rejuvenating my tan in a sunny yard instead of crawling in some dark corner, drizzle outside and in me head, its insane. I'ts never meant to be this boy contented this time of year. There will be a counterstrike soon. There must be. Anyway. Back to the past this weekend. They promise some rain too...
A Nomad World (1)
Sep/15/06 Filed in: Website
Some are wondering what's this new thing in Zoo world? What is he up too? And above all, will he not get bored with it, drift away again?Ok, time for some answers. First Conrad is not alone in his, uhm... dreams. A whole community is behind this. For instance, lets call her Emma, a pleasant name to go around. Don't know her, but I guess she's in the same league: independence on own terms, money (income, flatscreen tv, ipod, fancy clothes) not the goal but just a means to go around pleasantly. Maybe she likes to travel just as much as Conrad? Maybe she likes to share her knowledge while doing so with others - and get a living with that too? Check her website (about Cypress, lovely place) and you know what Conrad is doing.
Yip. Luxury is doing what's in your system.

I didn't do anything remarkably today. Thinking of all my life saving plans I should be worried, but I am not. It was a beautiful sunny day, the first in weeks, so why not spent it in leisure? My shorts still did fit well. My skin needed that extra pigment boost. The breeze in me backyard was lush with a hint of Bangkok (thanks to my neighbours, prime collectors of garbage). It was nice to see my toes again, and trim them, indeed, under clear blue skies. Bliss. But over a glass of wine, well, tranquility me be nice, failure may be a good lesson, but time is running out. Soon I will be a kinda drone again, wishing I took more effort at times as these, plentiful and promissing. Duh me.
Always New Depths

"If it ain't broke, it can't be fixed".Anyway, it was a nice day. Progress, no progress - it's not half as bad as it sounds. Didn't I say 'almost'? So almost is another week away, or always finding new excuses, when I got me a new musical input device (brainwasher in a good sense), a flashy, updated Apple Nano. Next tuesday they say.
When Autumn Arrives...
Sep/03/06 Filed in: At home
So September did make it again. Ok, it's almost time to move on, get a clean shave, put on a nice tee, perfecting that corporate smile that will bring me back into 'a thou shall work' society. For now I won't settle for anything more then a temp job, a steady job still out of the question.
I need the money, yes, but no, I am not that willing, not that desperate to sacrifice what I am doing best. The idea is still there: work (as in a dreary job) as little as possible, have a good life nevertheless, well, because of that. It will be tough enough, the alarmclock settings, that early cup of coffee over a quick smoke, that pace in chains towards a 5 o'clock relief.
It shouldn't be but here I go. Meh.
A Smoke?

Nothing is really happening. Anyway the weather is not that bad, I am working on a total re-design (again, yes...) of this site, and plan to start working on a nxt one, the one that maybe will bring in some money, and yeah, already making plans for my nxt trip to warmer climates. So, yes, I am busy. "Nice Holiday? But What About A Job?"

And then I read this article and everything seemed clearer, or at least I had something to linger on, another (verbal whenever anyone would ask and I would remember the right kinda lines) excuse to stay put.
Less then a week back home now and The Heatwave has turned into a cold drizzle clouding all the memories of clear blue skies. I need a break.
Waiting Room aka Lounge
Jul/31/06 Filed in: Website
It seems that I have changed the link 'Travels' into 'Lounge'. Anyway, eventually this part of my site will be the main part of this website. In time I will split it further into 'Arrival' and 'Departure' (which will be part of the entry page as well). It seems like a logical thing to do thinking of all the possibilities to make this effort going on with The Airport analogy, which is in the visuals already, as stated yesterday. Ah well, see what happens. Probably it will turn out to be something completely different, losing interest, or that other personal weakness, boredom.
So what do ya think. Leave a comment. You will be the first. It's nice to be the first one, isn't it? So go ahead.

Anyway, life without symbols is kinda boring aint it? Think of Leonardo Di Caprio in Spielbergs 'Catch me if you can'. I am my own captain over here.
Also, I like the color schemes. Lifting off or chrashing down, it's all a orange and blue frenzy, a visual blast.
ps. the contact form (About-Contact) doesn't seem to work cause of a bug in the app I am using. Hope this will get solved soon.
ps. solved, working now (02-08-06)
Homeland
Jul/30/06 Filed in: At home
So there is a heatwave. Big deal. Where I just came from its called a nice day. Can I complain? Yes, but I shouldn't. Life is tougher elsewhere. Name a country thats making headlines and I nod in silence. I'm still aware of the discrepancy of what is and what seems. I am not really a bad guy. Anyway. Hello all of you. I am back.

Jun/15/06 Filed in: World
According to the BBC a cumulative audience of more than 32 billion viewers around the world are expected to have watched the 64 World Cup matches on TV or other media by the time the final is played on Sunday 9 July. Thats a lot of people. I almost feel isolated, inhuman, since I haven't watched or will watch a bloody single game. Am I normal? Will my act of denial, as in 'the butterfly theory', cause the delay, or worse, the missing last chance to world peace? Questions, questions....
