Malaysia lah

Most of you know, but for those who don't - I've moved to Malaysia (since May, 2013). Malaysia truly Asia lah lah lah. Let's see what is behind this door.

You never know...

...what is waiting for you around the corner. Is it 10Eu on the ground or a punch in the face from a local drunk. In my case, it was both - was fired (was working in the company for 2 past years), but the social life improved (if it's the right word to use..) significantly. But already miss my salary... or any salary...
If somebody closes the door, God opens a window. Soooooo, let's check what's up there.

On the road again (soon)

In less then a week I will be on the road again (short period - only 6 days, but still). Really can't wait. It's time to deal with that mess in my head, heart and soul, and The Road is the best for it.

The plan:
Kaunas - Bremen - Den Hague - Amsterdam - Dusseldorf - Riga - Kaunas
Some flying, some hitchhiking, as always.

Can't wait.

Stupid

oink oink
ptkshhh

Stupid. Very very stupid me feels now. I feel stupid then I know exactly what is happening to me and I can't do anything about it. I can see the whole process of some realy high quality stupidity of me, but oh well, OH FCKN WELL.

Oh God, everybody needs to be loved...even me.

Street buddies vol.1

What would make me more sad:
A) a hair in the soup
B) being showered by heavy heavy rain
C) or a new season of The Desperate Housewives ?

Nah, none of those would make me as sad as a noticing my Mp3 player battery is empty while being in the city. Yes, sometimes it's nice to dive into all those millions of different sounds, but very very rarely. Walking, driving, just being there with Jamiroquai, Marillion, Kings of Leon (or Convenience ) and many more others is much more fun. Much more.

Here are some of my new "street buddies" :

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings - Got a thing on my mind



Marvin Gaye - Mercy Mercy Me



John Fred & His Playboy Band - Judy In Disguise (With Glasses)



Gotan Project - Notas



Dusty Springfield - Won't be long



Nickelback - If everyone cared




Volbeat - We

Reepjetrip

in numbers


in 9 days, I did ~ 2277 km by hitchhiking, ~ 1000 km traveled by plane. Visited 4 different countries and 5 different cities (visiting = staying over night). I've met a lot of nice and cool people, 1 person I met twice. Stopped 17 different drivers and cars, and 1 bus with a reggae band inside (Israeli vibration). Took more then ~ 150 pictures. Consumed unknown number of cigarettes and liters of beer. Had 2 glasses of champagne just before getting to airplane. Attended 1 birthday party.

Kaunas - Bremen (~10 EU, Ryanair).
The cool band-bus driver.

30 km to Lelystad. Beautiful day for hitchhiking.

Ready to hit the road (somewhere around Bremen).

Amazing sunset in Lelystad.

A heart in Lelystad.

Frans and me.

Ricky and Zane (super sweet amigos de mi)

Thats how the night of Magic looks like... (Den Haag)

Moritz

Nice party in Osnabruck.

Still nice party in Osnabruck.


With Aga in Warshaw.

Lithuania welcomed me with a rainbow.. (Alytus)

60 km left...

Rainbow

I've just came back from the very first Lithuanian Rainbow (More...).
Went there very accidentally, but seems it was exactly the thing I was missing and looking for a very very very very long time.

Some irreversible changes have been made.

Nr.24

Nr.24

Music is what feelings sound like

• Love
• Happiness
• Sorrow
• Hate
• Pain
• Anger
• ...

The music you listen says a lot about you, more then you could imagine. And I like to read it, to read "messages" people leave/send/receive by listening particular pieces. Tons of information is floating just in the air! Communication!

Damn, it's just like plum juice with ice for the hangover...

Here is the first part of my special songs which touched my soul somehow.
Little piece of myself.
Enjoy!


1. Blank & Jones - Face a la mer


Current Nr.1


2. David Bowie - Heroes


One of my favorite male singers. Dude with style.

3.Herbert - Cafe de Flore (Ghost in the shell)

Like one blonde dude once said "It's like a great combination of tragedy, melodic twist of soul and a happy simple walk trough life base".Touching.

4. Santana feat. Chad Kroeger - Into the night

Some songs reminds some special moments with special people. This one is exactly like this. The Neverland story.

5.Gund'n'Roses - Paradise city

Rock'n'Roll! Good for a gray day in the city.


P.s. There is no any kind of order here.




Enjoy.

Who is who?

Past days were pretty casual:
Waking up pretty early (shhhh Audra:P),
coffee,
no breakfast,
coffee&cig again,
easy *marathon* uni-bank-work-bla-bank-bla-bla-bla with Pearl Jam and Larkin Grim in the ears.
Nice.
Late lunch with boss and some colleagues.
Meeting with boss.
Traditional Wednesday's *ople beer* thing in Konradas.
Saying bye to Aurelijus again (amigo leaving to Spain for Erasmus).
Saying hi to Jura (new intern from Ukraine in AIESEC Kaunas).
Home.

Sounds easy and fine. But only sounds. Where is the error?
Oh well.
All the days I was surrounded by people, colleagues, friends, good friends, very good friends, strangers...
Don't want go to the details, but the main question is "Who is who, dear Kruopa?".
Like, who is honest, and who has two faces and just waiting to stab you in the back...?One or another way.

Hate then things comes to this question. But oh well, it did this time. And the person I used to trust a lot is involved.

It's easy to re-build a wall, but the trust..?

Goodnight.
Kruops (in some deep thinking mood)

The Year 2008

Inspired by my good friend Audra's blog entry, I've asked myself the other day:

"Hey, Kruopa, if somebody once would ask you, what happened in your life in the year 2008, what would you say?"


Hmmmm...I would say:

"Oh well, I came back from my life changing Erasmus in Alicante (Spain) in February. Yeah, I am counting 2008 from February.."

"My parents moved out and I started to live on my own, jeij!"

"Mr.Devil (cute black cat) came to my apartment and life, muuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

"I was on holidays 4 times (for a week or longer):
1.Hitchhiking in Spain and visiting Berlin with Agne (July)
2.Relaxing time in Zakopane (Poland) Tatra mountains (August)
3.Inspiring week in Warshaw (December)
4.New Year trip to Berlin and Neverland.(December/January)

"I've met alot of nice people, I made some friends, and some some really good ones.."

"Hmmm, let me think.."

"Life paths with some people got separated...sad"

"I didn't quit smoking, naah"

"I made a big step in learning the most important lesson of my life - living my dream"

"I've improved my languages skills"

"I...."


...and some moments or special people from the Year 2008.
