...And the night goes on...

Music: Play list 170206, 5 songs added.
Mood: Still ok, though a bit restless

--------------------

The play list 170206 (Lyn. Skyn., Thunder, OL, Tish, Damn Yankees, AC/DC, M. Parker etc.) keeps growing; at the moment I have more than 470 minutes music only with this list. The 5 songs which have been added recently, are M.’s (3 of them are his original, I think, 1 of them is not his song but his fave, but anyway…). Thanks a lot, M.! :)

-------------------

Went to see a movie “Dreaming by numbers” on Wednesday with V. It’s a documentary about a very special lotto and those people who come to the lotto shop very often. They buy lotto cards with numbers according to the dream they had the night before. First I was not sure if the film was non-fiction or fiction as the story seemed to me so… “dreamy” and fantastic. I liked the film a lot, very well done in b/w, the music was very nice, too.

-------------------

I wish I had money. Not just a little bit but a huge amount of money, like 80 million euros (is it something like 100 million dollars, or a bit less?). With that money, I could have bought a small village in Tuscany this week; it was for sale and put up for auction in London. The present owner asked 40 million pounds (about 62 million euros) for it. There are in the village: 34 empty houses (in very bad condition), one church, 15 farmhouses, vineyards and olive orchards. There is no electricity, no gas and no telephone connection. The new owner ought to organize the Church Festival every year.

I thought: if I had 80 million euros, I’d buy the village for 62 million and keep 18 million to rebuild the village and for me to live on for the rest of my life (… hope it’s enough). The Church Festival sounds fun; with nice music, food, wine, flea market…

80 million… I’d need to win at least 10 big, major lotteries, I think. Or the last “PowerBall” lottery! Has the winner picked up his/her prize money yet?

“You’d better be strong than hard.” Yes, that’s exactly I’m trying to be: strong. To be strong, I’d better be flexible, soft and tender as well. Being only hard, I might get crushed into a thousand pieces in one clap. I’d rather be soft enough to be able to absorb the shock, to bend with the blow, to finally come back and recover from the hard luck.

-------------------

I have pain in my back and neck since yesterday and it’s getting worse. I think I should go back to my own bed tonight.

-------------------

It’s going to be the second coldest (or so) March in almost 20 years. Although it’s clear and sunny, the temperature stays low. It’s still freezing, when on bike it feels like -10. The paper says that it will be a bit warmer next week. Well, I hope so because it’s then officially spring too.

-------------------

I came across my ex. In-law at the supermarket; I heard someone say “Well, look who’s here! Hello!” She was standing right behind me at the cashier. She said she had to look again if it was me because she wasn’t sure… “You look very different from the last time I saw you.” Well, I have perhaps now a little longer hair but that’s all, I think. Hm… ok, 6 months older, yes, that’s it. :(

The Night Goes On
(Shaw Blades)

Did you ever hear the whisper
Of the night as it rolls in
Distant as the moon
And yet it gets beneath your skin

Gets around the promises of no never again
Suddenly it takes the shape
Of an old familiar friend
And oh the night goes on

You reach for your last cigarette
And yeah you ought to quit
You ought to do a lot of things
But sometimes you forget
And still the night is calling
So you take a drive around
And over that horizon is an old familiar town
And oh the night goes on

Oh the night goes on
Ooh ooh the night goes on

When old voices dance through your head
Where you could run from the things that they said
And how could you say let ’em go walk away
Oh no not today
You never run away when you can stay and fight today

And oh the night goes on
Oh the night goes on
Oh the night goes on
Oh the night goes on
