Tono came to Europe to contact resellers of his hats. He posted a message in the Queer Couchsurfers group and decided to put Holland on his visit list and stay with me for a few days. Tono is a very relaxed guy, who knows how to enjoy and take the most out of life. We became friends while we were having lots of fun partying, walking with the dog, sightseeing, making dinner and we shared some serious talks too. I took him out to a multicultural gay party in Basta, where he met several other latin guys. They danced so cool and hot! Two guys wanted to join us in the taxi back home, we found out that one of them is living just around the corner of my house. It was already 3 am but the guy invited us for a drink at his place. After drinking a beer the latin guys started taking off their and our pants.... I realized they wanted to make a naughty home party. Although the guys were really good-looking and hot I was not in the mood for this kind of fun, as I had to get up at 7 am to be in time at my work. So I went home to sleep. Tono stayed as he was enjoying himself very well. A few weeks later Tono came back to The Hague again, to visit me before flying back to Ecuador.

Didn't want to get out of bed knowing the suckage I would have to deal with. Last day to pack stuff. Little did I know that wasn't the only shit I would have to deal with today. Tomorrow is total suckage day.

"What's it for?"

Vocals: Emily Curtis

Music: Kanno Youko

Lyrics: Tim Jensen

I'm not too sure that I can go much father

I'm really not sure things are even getting better

I'm so tired of the me that has to disagree

And so tired of the me that's in control

I woke up to see the sun shining all around

How could it shine down on me?

You'd think that it would notice

I can't take anymore

I had to ask myself

"What's it really for?"

Everything I tried to do, it didn't matter

and now I might be better off just rolling over

'cause you know I tried to hard but couldn't change a thing

And it hurts so much I might as well let go

I can't really take the sun shining all around me

Why would it shine down on me?

You'd think that it would notice

I no longer believe

Can't help telling myself

"It don't mean a thing"

I woke up to see the sun shining all around me

How could it shine down on me?

Sun shining all its beauty

Why would it shine down on me

You'd think that it would notice

I can't take anymore

Just had to ask myself

"What's it really for?"

I wish I woke up this happy and cheerful in the a.m.

THE DAYS OF NUMBERS part II

day 15

sleep around early to wake up yesterday

eggs

thinking of chicken

elegance

visiting the pet store again,

argueing for hours with the clerk

waking up around noon to feel

extra-late

feel to feel to know what it is like to not be able

to feel

at all

circumstances, chances are.

listening to those shoe-gazers again.

day sixteen.

younger than ever before.

no it’s the time.

I wake up and feel all woken.

all´s anew.

the air is breathed but freshed.

I scent like roses.

eating beef for dinner.

cooking stew for lunch.

forgot breakfast.

this tradition sucks.

day seventeen.

12 0´clock lunchtime,

mom´s calling.

on the phone.

I am calling the police.

speaking of fraud,

speaking of theft.

10 years to the gutter.

I want back what belongs to me and will take what you keep away from me

I take what did not belong to me. sold it to officers for lunch at snacktime.

burgled my own car, drove around for a while.

burgle a vending machine, thirst!

give me a break!

day eighteen.

there wont be trouble today.

day 19.

feeling dead.

one of my blacker days. watching those things on the telly I already watched years ago.

thinking about thinking about the past. whats the deal with that. did I question that earlier?

I think of bulbs. I think of investigating.

sneaking around for a while. I wanna see it in a whole new light.

too skinny, attacked by passer-bys, beating me up in passing by.

bleeding.

feeling alive.

day 20

change the blankets. morning dew, what can I do today? I go to work.

get fire all at once. hadn’t even entered the building, got my papers. lots and lots of

screaming and yelling. i don’t give a heck.

going to see laura.

thinking of her big ones.

go to the mall first.

candy, mags and vitamins. maybe I give them as presents today.

I feel like giving.

standing at the gates, all locked-in.

going hoem, change the blankets again.

I need the feel to be done.

I chose the saying, I chose the feel.

to be done.

day 21

have to make up a plan.

so much more days to come.

stay there.

I make up a plan.

day 22.

coming through.

a breakthrough performance. lots of handshakes and milkshakes. thinking of milk.

spilling a drink again. buying new whiskey and celebrate the way.

ruining the evening just for the fun of it.

ruining a company in passing-by.

burning money big time.

travelling to Switzerland.

day 23

arriving in Switzerland, lusty.

becoming a mob, thousands of faces and voices.

can´t understand a word.

looking for girls, looking for action.

forgot the mace.

forgot the plan.

what was I thinking about?

lots and lots of castles, lots of huts and rivers.

lots of all that I missed the last days.

day 24

forgot my suitcase there.

didn’t pay the hostel.

did not leave a note and didnt noticed my leave.

woke up in my circumstances.

chances are, I´ll loose today.

try to get a grip.

try to get ahold.

get a new car instead, convertible.

driving around for days.

realizing its just hours.

buying new tapes at the thriftstore.

go to the movies: wrong turn.

spend the rest of the day in nightime

spend the rest of the day in the city. it is calling me, the dust is calling me.

playing lotto: I win!

day 25

hung-up.

day 26

vomiting like a sick dog. nearly lost my life. why is my world not ending at all.

still going strong. 7 more years til the end of my world. seven more years of bad luck.

broke another mirror, double the trouble!

go for the whole thing, in it to win it!

listen a bit to 7 minutes of nausea.

feeling contemplated, feeling ripped,

at least I know how to read.

reading Yates.

day 27

daylight stings my eyes, staying up awake to feel extra-special.

feeling late to be special, but doing what has to be done.

calling one of the friends again.

not home. smash a glass or two.

beginning a new painting, acribic.

beginning a new day, sloppy. afterwards.

beginning like in the beginning:

day 1

i waited. for hours and hours to see.

day 28

no its not too late.

I mend.

speaking off sins, the world begins and spins.

getting dizzy, falling on my knees.

thinking of the birds and bees.

Check out July's weekday action. You can thank Marquette University for that one. I do! You can also thank Marquette for the spate of weekend days in the Spring when I had to get up early on Saturdays.

2013 Photo Challenge, week 2: Self portrait.

Hi, all. My name is Chuck, and I live in Brooklyn, NY, USA with my wife and almost-five-year-old son.

For this assignment, I combined 2 of my least favorite things: waking up and being photographed. Set up the camera next to the alarm clock and took turns pushing the buttons on top.

Sadly, this qualifies as not a bad picture of me. At least the scowl is in context...
