wick(end)ness

All things lavish and beautiful, all the torn notes and salty tears, all the rhythms of life and the rhymes, all the burning feelings, the ever impatient anticipations, the pains of pleasure, the charms of sopot nights, attention, the memory losses and cigarettes, easily distracted and frequently contradicted, the self destruction theories, mad to live, mad to talk, desirous of everything at the same time, all the conversations with strange people, the sunrise at the beach, the redbull insomnia, the naked and famous, the warmths of nights, the nights of warmths, the serious conversations.. and the 2nd first time...
FRIENDS

Don't you think there's something lovely about growing up and still being friends with the people you knew in school - even better - watching your friends create beautiful things, get awesome jobs, make a name for themselves and succeed!
23
I think for me the answer lies somewhere around 23... because since then I really never felt the 'birthday fever' and never celebrated them. That's probably the charm of birthdays wearing off or something :).
And what about you? How do you feel about your birthdays?
This bouquet
almost reminded me of those old paintings where the flowers have these amazing pastel colours, peonies are always present, roses have those soft round shapes, hortensias those greenish hues and the incredibly beautiful eustomas complete the whole composition...

Would You Paint Your Room Red?
image by Arek
Several studies have indicated that red carries the strongest reaction of all the colors. Red is hot. It's a strong color that conjures up a range of seemingly conflicting emotions from passionate love to violence and warfare. Red is Cupid and the Devil.
A stimulant, red is the hottest of the warm colors, which can have a physical effect, increasing the rate of respiration and raising blood pressure. Red is used as a symbol of guilt, sin and anger, often as connected with blood or sex. It is associated with lust, passion, love, and beauty as well.
So would you paint your room red? :)

The bright greens of trees and the bloomy whites; fresh leaves and grass all around; the sun and the still chilly wind; the warmth - inside and out; smells from childhood; the chemistry; reactions and emotions; the vibes; hormones; bumping hearts; crazy heart beats; blushes; endorphins... the spring is all to blame; it makes me feel like I'm on drugs :)
I Would Watch This Right Now :)

Indie movie of the day!
“Etienne!” is about a moustached boy, Richard, who takes his hamster (Etienne) on a road trip after finding out that the hamster has terminal cancer so that he may live his final days to the fullest. How great is this? :)
Deserve?
We think - and we frequently hear others say - that we deserve something. But the thing is - why do we think we deserve things at all? and compared to who? is the word 'deserve' just a heritage from religion as in the notions of 'heaven' and 'hell'? Or is it a disguised form of presumption?
What do you think?
Is what we deserve in life the same thing as what we expect of our life?
And isn’t it kind of amazing to be alive at all, considering the odds? :)

Growing Up
I almost forgot that it was this blog's birthday this April!
What has started with one strange post 2 years ago has developed into... this.
This wouldn't have happened had I not got to know all of you, who (for some strange reason :) are reading these pages.
It has been great getting to know you and keeping in touch!
Those who never reveal themselves - thanks for visiting too.

Factotum
Check out this new Factotum cafe in the very heart of Gdansk with its standing out interior design and probably the most unusual menu in town.
The place brings out so many interesting associations and allusions because of it's bohemian, decadent and somewhat S&M interior:
black and white rhomb shaped tiled floors, shiny black plexiglass wall with 3 old German black typewriters serving as candle holders, old picture frames lit from inside; black leather quilted sofas and heavy upholstered old-style chairs; metallic cushions; little red lamp shades, which are the very zest of this interior.
The place made me feel like I found myself in Germany of the 1940ies, even though it is extremely modern. If you are a 'visual type' person, like me, you'd very much feel at home here. Oh, and the music is very well chosen and goes in line with the whole mood.
If you like this you can also check out Ferber and Indygo.

Streets of St. Petersburg
Walk with me along some of my favorite places in Piter - historical, vibrant and full of contrasts. One of the world's most beautiful cities, St. Petersburg has all the ingredients of a perfect travel destination to offer: high art, lavish architecture, wild nightlife, an extraordinary history and rich cultural traditions that have inspired and nurtured some of the modern world's greatest literature, music, and visual art. From the mysterious twilight of the White Nights to world-beating opera and ballet productions on magical winter evenings, this city will be capable of charming and enticing you in every season.
