The day before yesterday and the day after tomorrow

The long title covers nothing more than what it says. I think. On sunday i’ve been roaming in town and around town in the forests, just because i felt so. I took some pics, but i’m not quite much satisfied with them, so i’m not sure if i’ll ever post them online. Maybe once, when “day and dream unite and the end is near” (And then there was silence by Blind Guardian). It was a nice way to spend a day though – i got lost once in the forest, or at least, i knew that going further would surely cause that, i drank a really interesting cafe and ice-cream mixture at the best place in town, and went to the top of the world – well, at least, the top of the town, or something like that. I think i learned a lot that day, too bad i’ve already forgotten what i’d learnt, or just i can’t remember it.

And what will come on the day after tomorrow? I’m going to buy the books for my very last compulsory school term. Interesting, i wonder how it’ll feel. Will write about it for sure.


Let the hammer…

My brother’s kids aged 8, 11 and 14 are stomping by the sounds of a HammerFall album. I think i’m doing well at raising them.


Tir

Why is that, when one’s physically exhausted, his way of thinking changes too? Is this where the great philosophers’ idea of the separated mind and body crashes to dust? To be honest, i don’t quite care about anything, and thus even such matters now, i’d only want to talk with someone i consider my friend, but naturally now not one of them is available, so my only resolution is to do some training, have a shower and go to sleep after eating some fruit. I’m interested, what will tomorrow bring along.


Advice

This morning, when walking to my driving lesson’s meeting point, on the back steps of the last car of a short train of thought, i realised something. Sometimes, but not always, when people are asking for advice, they mostly want to devolve the responsibility to someone else. Not consciously, but still, most of the times, when someone’s not asking for advice to get inspiration, this is the case. I think.


Dark

In the morning i had to do something in town, and then the sun was shining full bright, the weather was nice and clear. But as soon as the day passed noon, suddenly huge dark clouds appeared out of nowhere, covering the whole sky. It’s so dark now that i’m thinking about turning the light on, because i’m reading For whom the bell tolls by Hemingway. It’s strange how quickly the weather can change. This is chaos, isn’t it?


Wish of the night

On a forum i just accidentally stumbled upon a post, in which the author claimed that he was watching the Nightwish video titled Amaranth. Well, this was quite strange for me, as i was pretty much sure that i don’t know and never heard of such a song, even though i have all their works. So i checked out the official site and realised that they’ve found a replacement for Tarja – no, i should rather say, a new singer, because Anette has just such an identical and beautiful voice as Tarja did. Surely there will be – and possible already there are – fans, who won’t like her, but personally i do. Watched the Amaranth video already, but i can’t stop with it. I should, because there are two other songs of the new album, Dark Passion Play available in samples on the official site, and i don’t want to miss those either. But this Amaranth one is simply great. I think there’s already one thing that i’ll surely buy: this new Nightwish album will worth it. Too bad they are not coming touring here in Hungary… I’ve seen the video on the Metal Hall eZine. Check it out. I’m doing so with the other two songs, and those are very good too.


Can’t wait

I simply can’t wait to get of age. It’s still two months, and there are lots of things i want to do as soon as i can. Such is getting a normal Visa or MasterCard credit card, with which i could shop on the net. I’m kind of fed up with having to use my siblings’ accounts every single time i need something online. That would be the most important for me. I’ll possibly do the host switch before then though, the conditions here are sometimes quite worse than acceptable.


DVD

I just messed up a 8.5 G double-layer DVD. I wanted to burn some anime to free hard drive space, and insisted that the disc has 8.5 gig space. Well, it almost had, but still the burner ruined it. Sucks.

Edit 16:29

Since then i managed to nullify another disc by accidentally closing the burning app. This is getting ridiculous.


Cycle

Yesterday i had the feeling that i’ve to go out somewhere sunbathing. I had no mood to go to the plage (?) or such, so i decided to cycle out to the nearby mountains and lie there in a sunny glade. This what i did, set off after lunch, and stayed out there for a few hours. The sun does great good to my skin, at least so i believe, not to mention that it’s a nice good stamina training to cycle out there, since it’s all mountains around here, and this place i went to is the second highest of them. I also brought six 1.5 litre mineral water bottles along so that i could bring home some fresh spring-water. Got to say, riding downwards with about twenty pounds of water on my back is quite an experience, no to mention that the extra weight gave a nice deal of extra speed, thus let me ride over 70 kmph. After, i went and bought some fruits, but still even with that i managed to make an average speed of 18.8, which’s not so bad i think, though i usually aim for averages of over 20… doesn’t matter much. It was fun, the sun shone, the landscape was beautiful as usual, the birds were chirping and such.


Cold shower

After a year or so, i’ve once again picked up the habit to only have cold showers – the reason for the first time is the same as last year: right now, the hot water’s pipe is cut. I wonder, did they cut it on intention or accidentally? If on intention, i could understand, but i heard that it was an accident. Gosh, how can a somewhat trained construction worker cut such a huge pipe? I think at least, that it’s huge as only in our house there are twelve homes, all used to using hot water. Well, last year i lasted with this habit until around my birthday, when i had to have a bath when i was once terribly hung over. Well, i hope this year i won’t be. Anyway, cold shower feels good.
