I'm quite proud of these two photos. I love the reflection on the second. I took them after visiting a monastery near Kaunas and before attending a talk given by three buddhist nuns.

I noticed these people beside me as I crossed the road. I decided to step back and take a photograph. I find it amusing.

Lovely Latvian Buildings

by cooladd @ 2008-03-02 - 14:38:04

I spent several days in Lativa. They have many interesting buildings, but what amazed me most was how beautiful and unique Latvian homes were! Each one having it's own identity. Image 1 and 7 are Latvian homes.

Human not being

by cooladd @ 2008-01-25 - 19:20:11

I'm Alone but
I hear voices
I see human beings
being with other beings
being what?
being born we are simply being
being baby's we are just being.
I'm being
but i'm not simply being, because i'm
seeing on the screen
hearing through the airwaves
socialising in my own
imagination.

Tinsel Suicide

Tie me
In a deadly knot
no one
anticipated
such a sparkling end
around the neck
of life

Lost between sleep and insanity

by cooladd @ 2008-01-23 - 23:56:54

Dreaming in my bed
gleaming tv opposite my head
streaming images awaken me
glaring eyes of people, dead
staring endlessly
wearing pyjamas
it's me
hits me with it's realistic image, as I
grit my teeth and bear this death
I awaken..phew.

Air

by cooladd @ 2008-01-22 - 15:53:58

Night time
Virginal air
breathing the hymen of night
flowing over the tongue
penetrating the nasal passage
in and out, breathing
in and out, breathing
in and out, raped
by the
dalight daze
endless haze
fumes that rise
cover our eyes
inhaling a not so fresh suprise.

Free Hugs Hospital

by cooladd @ 2007-12-18 - 10:28:07

Having given and received free hugs in town centre locations I thought that it might be more use finding places where people are really in need of a hug. Hospitals are places where people are generally unhappy, in pain, dying, apprehensive or distraught. Giving free hugs outside a hospital offers people in real need the chance of some comfort.

The Musical girl with piercings & midnight the cat.

She sings
by kissing
metal things

attached like an eel
invisible air sucked in
then blown
through cylindrical silver wind tunnel

finger blocked air
and piano's polished ivory keys
squeal and thud

blackbirds and elephants
watched as
She eats
ice cream at the zoo
missing midnight's clawing
love, through eyes
between oncoming traffic
orange lights galore

Gallery of modern creativity
a crack down a long hall
friendly flames where once
in a haunted house
dragon's blew
a bonfire blaze.

Christmas Crisis

by cooladd @ 2007-12-16 - 19:25:55

Christmas Cracker
Smacked her
as it snapped
her plastic nail

Christmas cake
she ate
was to blame for the date
stuck down her trachea

Christmas tree
what glee it brings
but brought when it hit her knee
only agony

Christmas Carols
she sang no more

COUCHSURFING!!!!!!!!!!! :D

by cooladd @ 2007-08-26 - 10:21:08

After many monthes and many years of wishing and planning adventures overseas, I am finally departing England for the month of September, on what will be my first backpacking adventure around Eastern Europe. My ultimate goal is to travel around the world next June and to spend as much time on foreign shores as i possibly can.
My reason for writing and publishing this blog is to let you know about an idea that has completely changed and enhanced the life changing experiences we gain while travelling. For roughly half of my journey I will be staying with complete strangers on their sofa, bed or whatever they have to offer me. Unlike other free accomodation, this, ladies and kind sir's, does not involve squatting in a street corner, laying on a train station bench or participating in monkey rituals while trying to remain inconspicuous in their encolure at the zoo. It involves sleeping in the house of a local resident living in whichever worldwide destination you choose to visit. This invaluable experience is so simple yet life-changing and certainly an experience not to be missed. Not only do you get free accomodation in the warmth of someones home, you also gain from their local knowledge, willingness to be open-minded and accept you into their home, and the chance to make a new friend and perhaps meet many of their friends aswell.
It's nice to spend your day exploring the desert, river, lake, beach, jungle, glacier, city, knowing that a friendly face and someone to chat to greats you when you arrive in your temporary home

This process is known as couchsurfing and anyone at all can become a member without any cost.
www.couchsurfing.com already has 294,847 members from 220 countries with over 200,000 successful surfings already having taken place. There are over 100,000 couches currently available for you to surf all around the world.
As well as surfing, you can of course host people yourselves, which I have found to be just as rewarding if not more.
Enjoy, Adam

Slint : Washer Trilogy

by cooladd @ 2007-06-20 - 20:07:30

This is the first entry in my Washer Trilogy. Slint are one of my favourite bands along with Tortoise, Battles, tired irie, alexander tucker, Clark and several more that shall remain nameless for the purpose of saving you a second of your time.

Part 1 The lyrics from Washer
Part 2 The meaning of those lyrics for me
Part 3 My new lyrics for Washer

Part 1 : The lyrics from Washer.

Goodnight my love
Remember me as you fall to sleep
Fill your pockets with the dust and the memories
That rises from the shoes on my feet

I won't be back here
Though we may meet again

I know it's dark outside
Don't be afraid
Everytime I ever cried from fear
Was just a mistake that I made
Wash yourself in your tears
And build your church
On the strength of your faith

Please
Listen to me
Don't let go
Don't let this desperate moonlight leave me
With your empty pillow
Promise me the sun will rise again

I too am tired now
Embracing thoughts of tonight's dreamless sleep
My head is empty
My toes are warm
I am safe from harm
