bright light city

A year slips by and we are all a year older. Are we a bit wiser, thats for everyone to ask themselves. I feel a bit wiser but still a lot to learn.

The interesting thing is no matter how far we travel in the end we return to where we came from, I'm not saying we go back to the places we were born, it's more the feeling we spend all our time wandering about be it in waterloo station staring at the glass roof, the Midlevels in Hong Kong, waiting for the tide to come in along Southsea beach.

For all the time I spent in Germany, the start of something beautiful and the continuation of it all. I've had a time which I could never believe I would live, glanced upon a endless lake and saw nothing but mountains surrounding, seen the view of a castle in the mountains, caught winter snow and to lay in it and stare at the sky. But most of all I met the someone everyone talked about me meeting.

Tomorrow, I go back to where I came from, but this time I go back a little wiser and a lot richer in my life.

I hope you all find your place in life, laters my beautiful eggs.

silence through the night

As with each day you age a little, you notice it the most and least in your hands. Everyday you use them and take no notice, its only when you do notice you can see the veins, the wrinkles and the colour of the skin. Once was pale skin umblemished, I can feel the stiffness of my hands as I clench them.

The most enlighthening and enjoyable thing about the latest generation of consoles isn't the ability to waggle your controller at the screen, even the HD graphics burning a hole in the environment. For me it's the ability to download old games.



But with that the nostalgia my fingers are creaking and what games I enjoyed as a teenager which were 'easy' at the time are just making me tearing out what is left of my hair. Well thats melodramatic, just pray Solid Snake doesn't eat lead for the 5th time today.

Laters my beautiful eggs.

light and the start of

Autumn drew in for a few weeks here, winter came to stay. The odd thing is it feels I’ve been writing this blog for a long time, much longer than the 16 months that seemed so long ago. But in between that time I haven’t been to Hong Kong, anyone knowing me well enough would assume I would write pages and pages about the place (which I have and not shown anyone).

I’m going back in 2 weeks time and not sure what to make of my trip; it came out of necessity rather than want, but has turned to a nice state of wanting. The grey skies of Munich can be blown away five thousand miles away and turning into the blue skies of Asia . The song that reminds me most of the place is El Capitan by Idlewild, they had just released a new album a few weeks before I went there a while back, it was constantly on my mini disc player (which is two new MP3 players since) as I rode the bus to Central.

By the harbour I harbour the strangest memories,
over land I could ever be,
stranded in nostalgia,
so tonight I’ll try harder,
but it's hard to fix this floodlight on me,
in a cast that's taken to places,
I’m unsure of where I want to be,

The truth was at the time I was stranded in nostalgia walking around Victoria Harbour , but the world spun around and it didn’t care for me and my troubles, through design or failure I can look out of my bedroom window and realise I’m in Munich . Maybe not where I want to be, but who really knows where they want to be, especially when you’re 23. But this isn’t the point of this article, I don’t want to end up talking forever about how I grew up and these are the journeys I took to get there or here.

Quite the contrary, I just wonder what Hong Kong is like this time around, I imagine I will end up on the island somewhere with all the greenery, two steps away from the traffic gassing us to death. In the sunlight I find a small white cat with ginger strips sitting in front of me licking its front paw. I ask it where it’s going and walks off in a direction; it turns its head as if a motion to follow me to wherever it is going. I follow it down an alley way which is still drenched in brilliant light, it starts to move faster as I chase it, my steps quicken until I’m running full pace. My lungs collapse under me, looking up the sky is black without stars; the neon signs keep me company for the moment.

These are the things I wonder about.

What do you wonder about my beautiful eggs?

Some days are easier than others, people would remind me that's all part of life. I find it easier when it's the hard days I'm not in control of, I'm sick, work being shit, I get mugged, the world ends and I'm swallowed up.

It's the other days I find hardest. Choosing the wrong words, not choosing the right words, not doing enough, finding myself staring at my own reflection and seeing my skin ageing by the moment. I wish I was more ill so I had an excuse.

I don't think there are any words I could choose that are mine which would fit. The truth is this is the happiest time in my life.

Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of the spark
