View from the window

This is the view from my bedroom window (in winter, it's a little better now. Though I love the melancholy this picture captures but in real life, it's not as good):




This is what I wish my view actually looked like:

What I saw I almost couldn“t comprehend

Recommendation

My mom once had this book, she just couldn't finish. It was
not because the book was that bad, but because she kept on
running erands or helping out friends, taking over shifts from
the other nurses at work. People talked to her constantly
while she was trying to read, which broke her concentration
completely and it took her too long to get absorbed back into
the story again (when I read, I'm not reachable, it's like leaving
a message on a phone if you talk to me. I takes a split second
me to get absorbed into the story and go absend minded for
everything but the letters on the pages). She bought this day-
ticket, and went to a whole lot of city's. She couldn't tell me
which, because she had forgotten. Because it was about te trip
and not the destination (this is a way you could see life aswel).
While being in the train, she red her whole book. She started
from the top and was only bothered when her ticket (which
she used as a bookmarker by the way) was checked, or when
she had to switch trains because hers had reached its final
destination. She took little coffee breaks, a lunch break and
diner inbetween and finished her book. When she came back
she was relaxed, enjoyable, calm and at the same time full
of energy. It probably is a recommendation to many including me.

Give me that cigarette kiss.






















I need to go on some sort of an adventure or (road)trip. I used to have some adventure and excitement from time to time but none of that lately. I've been busy with school and other issues which were quite heavy or nasty. But maaaannn, I want a motor bike and a backpack with only the necesary and LEAVE.
But seeing the plans I've had with someone for over two years, we will be travelling after the next school year.
I'd love to go to America. Not New York but all the little southern states. Plus I'd love to go to Mexico and the desert (Joshua Tree) I reeeeaaally wanna go to the Rancho del Luna, a studio where the pure geniuses (word?) of the Desert Sessions let their creative juices flow.
I'd also love to go to Australia. It has city and nightlife, sports (SURFING), wildlife (KIWI BIRDS, well ok, that's actually New-Zealand but whatever), music (Wolfmother, amongst others), plus a very nice accent.
I think this feeling of escapism is something everything has felt before. I've had it stronger than now, when I really almost packed my bags to catch the first train I'd see on the station.
I'll leave you to it my dear, imaginary readers!
Ohjeah, there are some Rancho pics in there (6 & 9), as well as a picture of Lowlands festival (first picture), where I've been last summer.

Landscapes in photo's radiate more emotion to me than humans do in pictures
