The year of living interestingly

The year of living interestingly


My friend g and me had the same idea without each one to know about the other having it: To make one of our very last posts for 2007 somehow like a recounting of the year. Of course each one will do it in his own way. For a poetic one you should wait for his. I’ll do it somehow professionally, if not…officially. Well this year was for me just like the others and that means a bit good, a bit bad and a bit difficult and all the things in between those three. Though I have to say that overall it was better than last year, not too much but quite a bit.
But it was another thing that was the most important part of this year for me: It was interesting! Way too much interesting in fact and that hadn’t happened to me for many years, so many that I’m really afraid to count them. And that had to do with only one reason that is really just one person…I really hope that you’ll read this. Because it was you that made this year so different and that way so interesting too. Everything interesting that came my way had to do with you…As almost all of the good things too. And also some of the not very pleasant…but even them were interesting, in their own way. But the most of them were very good and all the interesting ones (and there were quite a lot of them) came from you, directly or not. You were even the reason for the starting of this blog...And for many, too many of its posts. Even many of those that nobody but me, not even you, can really see and tell how they are related to you…but they do. And through this blog I got to meet some great people, new friends really. Most of them as fellow bloggers/commentators/readers but with some I got much closer and with one we became best buddies in a really unusually short time, that’s how well we get on together. Another reason to say thank you then and it’s one of the most important ones…
There are a lot of other things that could be said for this year. But for a number of reasons it’s not possible to say them…For some of them I can’t really bring myself to write about as much as I want too. Some others can’t be said here…some others nowhere really. And finally there are some that I honestly don’t know how to say them…But here comes the aid of the wonders of the human mind. Because if you know where and how to search there is always somebody else that have said what you can’t say. Much more so in music, in songs…Even if it’s not a whole song and not used in the way the lyricist had intended. You can always try and make it to fit with what you want to say…Just like I’ll do right now with an REM song, not only using not all of Michael Stipe’s lines but reinterpreting/rearranging them too in a quite drastic impromptu cover version of sorts. With an almost totally different new meaning...Probably it’s just that which we call «creative treatment».
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
That's me in the corner
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my<b> confessions
</font></b>Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Consider this
The hint of the century
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
But that was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I've said too much, I haven't said enough...Just like it happens many times when we are talking. Just like it happens much more and more often when we are writing as those of us who practice this regularly know very well. And just like what I wanted to say really...It’s not enough but nothing more can be said. So just a thank you for dropping by, even if it was for that brief. And I just wish that I will see and feel a bit more of you next year...Even the prospect only is so interesting that I couldn’t wait it with more interest. And that’s more than enough to write, say or think about…

Just me but with all the ego left at the door...

I'm just using the standard font here without making any changes, bigger or smaller letters or anything. But OK, I'll try and see what I can do...I don't want my posts to be the reason that you'll have to wear glasses!

For some of them I can’t really bring myself to write about as much as I want too. Some others can’t be said here…

i have another private blog for those things. they have to be said somewhere.

There is a very fine line you know between private and really just for three or four people...But maybe sometime, who knows?
