Rainbow, greenschist, pink, canal lock = light bulb falls, caraway.
It's kind of fun to nearly miss your train and turn a nice getaway into a shitty weekend. But I've only brushed off that scenario, thus on Saturday I've enlisted for a military style insertion with the morning train and an extraction, 28hours later, with the afternoon train. Destination? The current land of freedom (for the mad), of space (for the shy exuberant introverted) and of dreams (for all the lunatics, drug fans and booze masters) "Ancient Customs" =)) / "Vama Veche". I don't like the place, it's like "let's go back a few steps down the evolution chain, maybe we can find the missing link somewhere, being conceived amidst the bottles, condoms, garbage, tents and cars"... Chances are the missing link is still there, dead drunk, half buried beneath the beach sand. And I bet it hasn't changed that much over the years. :-)
Mime is fun. Up to a certain amount. Like, once a year in a really extensive degree. :-x And as long as you don't get silly, simple words. Stuff like greenschist or caraway - now that's something to really sink your hands into, so to speak! :-))
The funny side: mime brought up the highlights of the trip, before they occurred. A rainbow of characters, people and clothing, faces, sounds and smiles (burps too!) all over, that's what we got when we finally arrived to the LZ. And when you thought you'd be safe, in a space where people refrain from stealing your ass off - as lots are metal or punk lovers, there you go, lots of pitzy pink! :-O!!! Even the green-stone found its place in our activity - going down the beach, scouring for shells and nifty stuff. Even though it was nothing than algae-covered rock, it was a green stone nonetheless! :-P
And to the disappointment of lots of fans, the light bulb falls effect manifested during a concert. We're still waiting for the caraway, but who knows? :-P
Sometimes, you need to go down to a basic level and then try to remember why do you still keep the "elevated" features you gave up to, in order to come back to basics. For some, Vama is the Paradise on Earth. For me it's actual Hell, land of Chaos, stripping me of hygiene, moral, safety, boundaries. It's a double edged keen blade one plays with when venturing there, for within the Land of No Rules, lady Luck is the only one keeping you off the harm's way. And we all know how treacherous and frivolous lady Luck can get on you, every now and then. :-) All in all, it's cool to see the world from a different perspective. It's not cool to pay for a pit stop, even stand in line for such a basic service, not to mention being mauled from your backside when attending a good concert, just because a mountain of cortex-free flesh and lard finds pogo cool when drunk.
For some, freedom is to walk around drunk, shouting "Got condom, looking for vagina" (why do I get that "LF Enchanter, Got mats" -Looking For; materials- sensation from reading the W.o.W. chat console?)... For me it's having my own intact space, a square foot of dirt on which I can rely in order to take a leap forward the outer region, the one where I interact with all those around me. The fun side of any leap is that any direction is "forward". You only need to remember that every race is made of individual steps, as every panoramic image is made of tiny details. Keeping it simple keeps it genuine. :-) It always does.
Next time... it will be better... :-) I'll make sure it will.
Good luck and good hunting!
This is a really great post. :)
