It's an interesting feeling, waking up a few minutes before school, knowing you're so late it doesn't even matter what you do anymore and just getting to school at your leisure, a couple hours late. Realizing that, even though you're usually cooped up in the artificially lit 'torture chambers' behind the school gates - well, electronically keypad-locked doors that prevent you from fetching your stuff after four by switching the code for no good reason, actually - there's light out there nowadays. Sunlight. The Day Star is shining upon us in Finland and melting all those beautiful piles of snow into so much slosh and slippery patches of ice that it's a miracle any old people survive long enough to become a risk to the national economy.
Meanwhile, riding a bike to school has become even more annoying than it was in the harsh winds and -30C mornings - at least you stayed upright back then, unless you froze solid and clunked down on the pavement. (No, this rant has nothing to do with the fact that I fell on my bike yesterday evening... stupid ice...)
Regardless, spring's coming. And time keeps flying by while I don't really get anything new done. I keep getting the feeling that I should be working for my future, not just drifting aimlessly towards it, but it's easy to think of what you should do. So easy, that you spend more time thinking than doing.
Inspiration struck me last night at 3am and kept me awake for way too long. But now I have another bassline ready for a song which will probably never receive it's lyrics. A bassist working alone is a sad sight - I really wish I had a band again.
The most obvious meaning for the Lovers card isn't always the correct one. There are so many ways to make a connection in this world, I prefer to trust DNS over SMS, let alone some weird non-electrical vibrations in the air. (Yes, I know my cell is wireless, shut up.)

Just beautiful, Simo.

I'm sure it's the same for most of us. :P
VastaaPoistaThat's why we're gonna be the intelligentsia instead of the mob, neh?
