New new new new new new!!

Alright, today I have received all the pictures of Japie from our trip to Spain, so as of tomorrow I will better be able to give you a detailed and chronologival account of our encounters with many generations of former Copenhagen (Emdrup) people :)

But... that won't be the only thing! As most of you know I am/have been using the referrer domain www.dutchviking.tk to avoid the loooong Blogspot-address, but that only gives pop-ups etc, so isn't really something I want to continue with anyway.

Fortunately for me I just got possesion (for free!!) of the Danish domain: www.dutchviking.dk with my own server space and all. The thing is that I just started working for an Internet company and as employee I was offered server space and all that... so I leaped at the opportunity of course.

Now, when you go to the site, you will see my pathetic effort to work with a standard template that they offer, and some seriously terrible pictures taken in the glorious summer of 2004.

But, over the next few days/weeks, I hope to - with the help of Jochem and Wordpress - to transfer everything to my new domain. Still, for now I will just continue on Blogspot, or just make a redirect. I haven't quite figured it out yet.

You'll see :)

Anyway...

For now: Greetings from Madrid and Happy New Year, from many generations of Emdrup!

The Return of The Luggage

Finally...

The bastards...

My luggage has arrived after 2 days. And looking at the label it didn't even leave Madrid airport Barajas before yesterday!

So, who's in for the 'I-Hate-Barajas'-fanclub?

And for now: laundry!!!!!!!!!! Wohooooo!!

Honey, I'm hooooome!!

So, back again in Denmark. 12 hours before I landed in Copenhagen again I was still listening to one of the best flamenco guitarists I have ever heard. Amd no idea who the guy is. It was somewhere in a small place, somewhere in a small street in Madrid, where I got the comment "Que tipo de gazpacho eres" from another guitarist, when I told him I was half-Danish half-Dutch.

And now... Just woke up from a 12 hour sleep and still with no luggage after one of the worst airport experiences ever (as of now I will join the VERY large group of people who say they hate Barajas airport in Madrid).
Am waking up with sweet sounds from Paris of a French guy, an Argentinean and a Spanish woman playing tango ("Aires De Tango"), but my head is still spinning from all that happened yesterday. What a crap trip... but ok...

Anyway, I am back to real life now, and will start with doing an inventory of my room. my clothes, my life and my thoughts. Having talked with so many, I got inspired once again, and want to keep that alive as long as possible.

First though, a shower!!

I've got to ask myself though... I still don't know which feeling is prevailing. Either "Maaaaan, I am getting too old for this shit..." or just that energised, sucking up like a sponge all experiences of the last 10 days, hyperactive, travelled, glad-to-have-met-so-many-old-friends-feeling.

I'm pretty sure it will be the last ;)

So, as I also want to finish here with wishing you Happy New Year, I will use some of the most positive lyrics I heard over the last days.
Walking the streets of Madrid this song came up, and I wanted to share it.

Happy New Year and may you have a great year, may all dark clouds vanish quickly, and the sun shine on all you do! Enjoy, dance, laugh and see you soon!!


Diego Torres - Color Esperanza
"Sé que hay en tus ojos con solo mirar
que estas cansado de andar y de andar
y caminar girando siempre en un lugar

Sé que las ventanas se pueden abrir
cambiar el aire depende de ti
te ayudara vale la pena una vez más

Saber que se puede querer que se pueda
quitarse los miedos sacarlos afuera
pintarse la cara color esperanza
tentar al futuro con el corazón

Es mejor perderse que nunca embarcar
mejor tentarse a dejar de intentar
aunque ya ves que no es tan fácil empezar

Sé que lo imposible se puede lograr
que la tristeza algún día se irá
y así será la vida cambia y cambiará

Sentirás que el alma vuela
por cantar una vez más

Vale más poder brillar
Que solo buscar ver el sol"
