I am still living in Amsterdam, my house was evicted at the end of October. After two months in a great squat in the centre it happened to me to have a warm flat available. The first month was paid, the second was my first rent in two years. NO fun.
I decided to leave the Netherlands, after June, unless i dont get a great job or a very interesting residence. I miss squatting, i miss having space. I feel healthier though. I am charging energy to go away. I am melancholic these days thinking of that strange building in the Damrak, now wrapped in a condom of plastic. If i get funding for a Phd, i will go to London or anywhere i can live without all of this pressure. I love Amsterdam, still.
Pressure: some days i cannot focus on anything because i just dont know where to find the money to exist. I am thinking of some malicious wild free-lancing: no interesting projects badly paid, pure digital service for mongoloids.
Love: that interests me less and less, but i am very open to people in general, who they are, what they do, what do they think…
Family: well, i am always worried about it, also i feel a bit abandoned but thats a old story.
Everyday: i am hyper-social, but i spend a lot of time alone. I am eating good food, trying to get some weight. Money is finished again before i could accomplish that. I am out of time, and out of space. I am probably dreaming reality. I feel more comfortable in a poetic dimension.
Future: well, i have a crystal ball i can look at, also a magic drum you can ask questions to and she (the drum) will answer while you play. I dont think i have to choose a place, i am waiting for a place to choose me. There i will live.
Box: i put lots of questions and answers, expectations and desires in a box. I sent the box to my next address, who knows where. I am so light without commitments, partner, children and steady life, that i think i am flying.
Hat: a friend gave me a black hat, really warm and nice. I use it to hide my smile, which i think might be illegal in this society. I am smiling all the time, people ask me why am i walking around almost laughing… I am just happy, and i have to admit my inner voice is even more ironic than my speech! (hai mangiato la foglia?)
Zimo sei proprio tu??? Quanto tempo! Io ero in Italia, sono tornata con Ubik… TODO bien.
Ciao xname! Sono passata ad Amsterdam per il queensday…รจ stato un periodo troppo breve per beccarti, ma l’esperienza troppo bella per non pensar di ritornare…sono stata allo squat di sloterdijk tutto il tempo…ci vedremo presto! Se sarai ancora ad amsterdam! bacio*lazimo*
Hello Patrice, good to hear from you!
I am in Spain too at the moment, loving laughing looking at the sun… And off course, watching the screen!
See you in Amsterdam, what about a late-afternoon strong-drink on your terrace?
Greetings, your best ‘x’
