My last two days of being 22. What has been keeping me busy the last weeks, what has kept my mind on constant rotation? Hanging out a lot with AM was one big part of it all. But I'd lots more on my agenda.
I still have to make a good start at my bachelor-paper, I've the books, only the motivation is lacking. But this week will be the beginning of hard work, I hope.
I started on a new zine, same title as the blog. Yep, it's finally happening! Pretty siked about this, once more.
I have a couple of job-interviews, one concerning next year (I have to choose between working at the university or helping out once more at Go Short, film festival) and the other one is for a job as stagemanager at Doornroosje. Would be awesome if I would get that last one!
Yeah that was about it. Let's see what this week brings me.
Music wise, yesterday I went to see The Veils. Fucking awesome! I didn't think to much of it, kinda expected it to be a let down, so I didn't expect such a good show. Finn Andrews didn't have his good health at his side, but that didn't do anything to the quality and intensity of the show. You could only notice he was sometimes getting pissed off and it only helped to give the show just a bit more of an aggresive vibe. GREAT STUFF!
Shivvers....
But I've a change in mind // Calling all the time
That I don't want to live in your side // Though the rose is vermillion
And I find it so hard to survive // Without when within you
ps. I'm going to see MY BLOODY VALENTINE in two weeks. FUCK YEAH!

Just enjoying the good weather, trying to get my mind to studying. Just one blog-post and them I'm gonna do some schoolwork. Tonight I'll probably watch a movie or something and just chill out. Maybe Inland Empire, I still have that one lying around. Or just hanging out and read a bit more in "You shall know our velocity", I need to finish that one sometime soon. Pff, talking about blogpost without anything to say in them...
What's on my mind lately: Doing a new zine and moshing on a more regular basis! Oh yeah, and maybe I have a new band going on.
Ok, another artist Rowan pointed me to. Jessica Lea Mayfield, I'm absolutely in love with her voice and last record. Why do I always find out about artists when they just passed through on tour... This song is called "For Today". HOW GOOD ARE THOSE VOCALS!
I was walking with your left hand in my back pocket
And I stared at the sky while you kissed me
And you were running away, away from everything
And I stayed behind so you'd miss me

How I hate people who are completely different in public, compared to how they act in your presence. Acting like they care, but when it comes to it they just act like they couldn't care less and that nothing ever mattered. And then I feel guilty when I have to turn someone down.... yeah whatever. I'm just going to leave all this behind me, and not put to much thought into it. Enough friends who I can really rely on.
X Dear, I'll stay gold just to keep these pasts at bay
X You were my heaven ablaze //Riddled with faults and fractures

I need to get back on track with my life. Suddenly I've got a lot of sparetime on my hands. I'm not busy with the festival 24/7 like before, I don't have to make anymore trips to Utrecht, I don't need to go back to my hometown every weekend.... Suddenly I notice how much time I have left, so I can get into the things I put beside me for a couple of months.
What to do:
- Making it through my upcoming exam-period and wrapping up my internship.
- Starting on my bachelor-essay, and finishing it before the summer.
- Watch more movies, read more comics, read more books, listen to more records.
- Going to more shows and hang out more with friends.
- Getting back on track with my sport-schedule.
Ok, I guess those things won't be a real problem if I look at it, I just need to get myself some steady routine and everything will work out fine. Let's just see what happens.
Fever Ray, The Knife vocalist Karin Dreijer Andersson gone solo, I'm definitely into it! If you like The Knife, you'll also like this. Maybe a bit heavier at times, still great. Freakydeaky clip!
I put my soul in what I do // Last night I drew a funny man
with dark eyes and a hanging tongue // It goes way bad, I never liked a sad look
From someone who wants to be loved by you

Carnaval is taking over the Southern part of The Netherlands, madness in the streets, people boozing all day long and not able to stand on their feet at the end of the day, young and old people singing along to the most horrible music you're ever going to hear.... nah, can't say I'm a big fan! Doesn't change the fact that I've got to work three days in this chaos. No I'm not going to wear any crazy costumes, no I'm not gonna join any "polonaises"!
Sooo what am I doing on a day like this? I've just awoken actually, around 2'o clock, because my girlfriend called amazed that I was still sleeping. Not that I blame her, I wanted to get up at 11'o clock. I've just been looking at clothing I want to buy, but don't have the cash for. I just need to wait untill monday and then I'm going to buy a new pair of sneakers and some new t-shirts. I need some fresh gear.
I want to do at least two of the following things: Start at my internship-essay, start in my reader for my lecture on monday, watch The Fountain, get some pages done in "You shall know our velocity"... yeah that's about it.
This week was pretty hectic, having to get all the information in for the catalog of Go Short and working two nights at my new job. Too bad that this weekend isn't about chilling but about working some more. Next week isn't really gonna change anything with that, but the upcoming weekend I'm staying in Utrecht doing nothing and seeing The Gaslight Anthem on sunday. SiKeD for sure!
Ok, about a new song I want everybody to hear. Let me think. What have I've been listening to a lot... A quick glance at my LastFm page tells me I probably should post something by Jens Lekman or Ryan Adams. But I've also been listening a lot to the Desperate Measures album by Leeway. I wanted to post "Make me an offer" but I can't find a video with that song so I'm gonna go with "Kingpin"!
He justifies-eye to an eye. Take his side or go for a ride.

Chilling out is what we do best!
Lately I've been lacking new entries... I think I even started my last post with the same statement. Still busy at my internship, with all the deadlines in sight, and at my new job, seeing I'm being evaluated this week. But besides all the work-stuff, I've been having an OK time.
Went to Afke's party last friday which was pretty cool. Hanging out with the Nijmegen-crew and the Rocker, cocktails, hardcore: good stuff. Next day I chilled out with Thijs, listening to records, eating pizza, laying low...your basic saturday. Sunday kinda blew up in my face, with some mindtroubling issues, but I'm working on them.
Check this band out: MEMORIAL! The vocalist from Renee Heartfelt, for fans of Quicksand and Texas Is The Reason. I have this song on constant rotation!
