Marathon
Today Sunday the 16th of April i went out into town. I walked past the Rotterdam Marathon route for a bit. I’m not much of a fan to be honest, but i did walk on beside the people cheering on the runners.
I did feel sad. Last week i got an e-mail from my health insurance that my insurance is to be closed of because i do not have an address with the municipality.
I’m still unclear what to do next. Apart from going to the Paulus church and talk with the doctor and social worker. Which is what i will do, of course.
The past year has been tough. I do have a place to live, but i can not make it my permanent address. My work on my website has taken a backseat. Which does make me feel sad, but it is for the better.
I do need to go on. I have these plans to make a video clip, but i haven’t done any real work on it. I hope i will start working on it soon. I hope i can find a light in these days, dark to me.
Salute!

Fellowship with Men once again
I just threw the I Tjing and got exactly the same outcome as on 29 January 2020. That was the day before i moved out of my old house, my old home.
I do not know what this means. I do know i need to keep on working on my videoclip, which is still in its beginning stage.
Happy second Easter day, if you celebrate this day. I am making this post on a Friday. This weekend i am going to see my mum and have dinner with white asparagus.
See you next week!

Springtime in April
Feeling happier
The last few weeks i got this idea to make a new video clip. I was thinking of the clip i made in 22 February 2005 for The Answer. It doesn’t work anymore, of course. Flash.
First i had this idea of making it in flash and export it to a movie. I got another idea, of making it with little clips i made with my camera. Then i questioned if i would make it for The Answer. Now i’m finally at the start of this project, where all assumptions are of the table.
I hope i will finish this project. I hope i will make a videoclip i will be proud of. I will start soon, but i am gic=ving myself time to work on this.
I feel happy. Wonderful!

Cleaning, showering, hair washing and mending clothes
Today is the day of the equinox: Rotterdam, Netherlands: Monday, 20 March 2023, 22:24 CET.
Yesterday i stayed at home the whole day. I showered, washed my hair, cleaned up the house a bit and mended the pink sweater which had two holes at the elbow. I watched some television. When mending my sweater i took of my glasses, i can see better up close with no glasses on.
That is it for today. Enjoy the week. Salute!
Ideas for new work
The last few days i find myself thinking of making new work, especially about a video clip. The last couple of weeks i am dancing once more on my old musi, one of which is The Answer from the Bloc Party. I made a video for this song in 2005, which you can not see anymore over here. I am still in the early stages of thinking about this new project. Looking forward to starting to work on it!
Quiet time
I have no idea what to write here today. So that is it for now. Bye bye!

Looking out the train
