Luminous musings
A cap of good acid costs five dollars and for that you can hear the Universal Symphony with God singing solo and Holy Ghost on drums.
Hunter S. Thompson
It was late, I don’t know how late exactly but it must have been close to first light. The sky had that luminous haze to it that marks the pre-dawn, and the streets by the canals were blanketed by still quietness, only occasionally broken by the clatter of a passing fiets (push bike) or wild howling of an amphetamine freak trying to come to grips with the psychosis descending on him. It was a beautiful sight really.
But I was lost and I was wired, and my mind wasn’t working properly. I knew that I too had a bike around somewhere, but I was buggered if I knew the right direction to go get it. I looked up and down a bunch of canal ways and this terrible realisation came upon me that if I chose the wrong one, I’d be fucked. The beer haze wasn’t helping either. I know better than to trust beer judgement; that little voice inside your head that says everything will be fine if you just listen to him. Oh no, that little bastard decieved me too many times before for us to be on speaking terms, so I ignored the ranting in my head as best I was able.
I looked around the streets in hope that I would find someone I could ask for directions. That was a dicey proposition at best. The only people up at this hour were probably in worse shape than I was, and if they weren’t, one look into my eyes would have them running away in sheer panic.
What to do?

He Padwanna,
If i’m not mistaking you had your 38 birthday party correct? I hope it was a nice party. I must admit that i miss your stories, and your presance on your blog. Can i persuade you writing again maybe by revealing my identity? ( Sorry for that ego-trip )Me i’m fine i’m really looking forward to, a big job either in the theatre, or an other creative decorating thing. It’s almost time for the famous childrens party off “sinterklaas” for me that means working really hard because i’m dressing the old man and his helpers and believe me there are many. I love the magical part of that tradition. Do you have that in Australia? I know a lot off foreign people who are puzzled by our strange traditions and parties. How is your Dutsch by the way, and your other blogs coming along? Hope you are doing good and talk to you soon. Groetjes Pippi

Hello dearest Pip,
Yeah it was a sort of a holiday. I needed some time off from writing to find some stuff worth writing. Kinda coincided with my birthday lead up, which always is a bit of a dramatic time for me, seeing as how I’m a bit of a drama queen and all.
And wow Pip, the way you remember my birthday is amazing! I’m way impressed! I’m off to London for a week starting friday but I’ll be in contact here on my blog to invite you to come to a small get together to celebrate. I hope you’ll come!
Take care, and wishing you all the best!
Padwanna!

Hi Sweet Mercedes,
I’m doing fine! Nice to hear from you though!
Yeah, yeah, I know I’m shit at letter writing, so I’ll make another one of my well intentioned by a bit useless promises to write more!
Hug and kiss from Amsterdam.
Padwanna!
