Portuguese lifestyle

[2009-03-21]
In this day, there was a first music show which I wanted to attend in Portugal. I woke up about 12 pm, went out for shopping about 1pm and got a text message from my friend like “don’t forget – the show is starting at 2 pm!”. I was pretty sure that he is just joking, so I made a phonecall to him and huh, the show was really set at 2 pm.
I’ve been going to shows for many years and already been in most part of Europe and to be honest, shows start somewhere between 7-10 pm. So it was like a shock for me but what could I did? I went there…

There were like 200-250 kids there and I was completely suprised. Noone was complaining! The gig was nice but then I realized the reason why the show was so early. Benfica and Sporting were playing at 7 pm and show booker wanted to allow people to go and support their football teams. That was something really amazing for me, how people can schedule their time with football priority. Well, Portuguese can! This is what I can call a commitment.

And the funny thing was, that right after a match was finished, the second show was started!

PS. Even if I support Sporting Lisboa, they lost the game..

A friendship is over – the bridge is burnt

My best and closest friend ever is gone. I got the news last night and still can’t really believe it. We were like sticky stickers. A person for the best and the worst.

With my emotional roller coaster, she was like a bridge to my daily life. I don’t know how I will handle it without her. She was like my last hope that tomorrow will be a better day. No, it won’t.

I feel so bad that we had to split our paths.

If only I could put into words
The way I feel
Telling myself the situation’s not real
Lost and sometimes I feel
I have nowhere to go
Because you tell me it’s wrong
To let my feelings show
I’ve lost my place to turn
I know I fucked it up
I turned away
One too many times
Suffered from an ego trip
That left me fucking blind
Friends are telling me
The loneliness will go away
But the memories will be there
As long as
The ink in my fingers stays
I choose to stay away
Because I want to keep control
My head is thinking straight
But my heart says explode
The thought of someone else
Is much too much
And friendship means
You’re just beyond my touch

One love. 4.07.2009

TODO lists

It’s been a long time since I have posted here for thelast time (and in fact, it was the first time).

This website is about pictures, not about my words (at least not in classic form huh). And some time ago, I was reading my notebook, where was a lotta TO-DO lists for my daily tasks. What I’ve noticed, the most of tasks are done (or crossed down at least), but only apart from photos.

I’m sorry for that. I’m a lazy guy. I have 30-40GB of pictures which I haven’t checked nor edited yet. I promise to try my best in the upcoming days (or weeks…).

Ah, as you can see on the first picture, I wrote down a lot of ideas in my notebook about topics which I wanna present here. Hope they will be published soon.

PS. Of course, “ZDJĘCIA” means “photos” in some part of this world…

[2009-03-01]
I was employed by promising company. 5 months past and i can’t stand up.
I can’t simple close my eyes and think that after 2 years i will be in the same place, work in the same company, share my flat with the same persons. Even, if I really like these things, I’m so scared not to make another moves.

Travelling, making unexpected (usually stupid) things…yeah, that is what keeps me free. My blood circulates faster and wanna blow up my vains. That’s how I really wanna live. On the edge, somewhere between rise and fall. And I know that my mom will ask me again and again (and she did it like 1000 times), why I can’t grow up and establish my life..

Oh mom, I’m so far, far from breaking!

So, I quit my job. Packed my bags and moved out from this wonderful city from Poland called Wrocław. Just to move somewhere. Discover new places and different cultures. Meet people, give something them, and get something back. Just to extend outlook on my own life.
And yeah! I got new destination, Lisbon! Olá amigos!

PS. Perhaps, in this post there are more words than in all futured together. I hope those words above describe what you can expect to find here. Just keep in mind that pictures will describe here more than any words.

PPS. Jakub Gustak, my comrade who moved with me to Portugal, took the picture of me which is used as a header on the top of this blog. He did it in Paris during our trip between Wrocław and Lisbon.
