World of Jop

For Dutch standards we had an excellent summer; and even the last days we had some really sunny days, which is not so ussual for Oktober at all, when is should be rainy and stormy and stuff. Well, it was quite pleasant, allthough there are also people who say this is not a pleasant matter at all, but a sign of global warming…

Anyways, autumn finally has made his way through and have really started now. And, as always makes me quite nostalgic, less energetic and a bit more introvert, I suppose. Since the wheater is not so pleasant, people will shift inside their houses soon, and it is not so busy in the streets…Moreover, it is also dark soon outside. Instead of looking to the future, I rather will look at the past, and get back all my memories from for instance India and Malaysia. So, now I finally started with my photoalbums regarding those, just emailed my old Japanese, HK & Korean friends from India which I have not spoken for ages (since last autumn), and dream of quiting my job to go back to Asia which is not possible at all since I have no money for that.

But actually, this fall it has become even worse because I seem to look even further back in the past than my own lifetime. I decided to borrow some really classic movies from my parents and started watching them: Birds, A Space Oddysee, and King Kong, that is the old version in dark white. Really inspiring indeed. I even bough 2 CD’s with songs from the 80ies including old-timers like ‘ Shout, shout, ready to route’, ‘ have a little faith in me’, and ‘ live is life’. Even worse, I bought a CD of Elvis Pressly and even kind of like it.

Mmmm, when winter is going to begin? Guess I need some snow…
