well i'm here in amsterdam for a team meeting. About two months ago i would have looked forward to coming over, now i feel a bit strange to be in a city where once part of my life was taking place.
I wonder sometimes if the surroundings can be witness of what happend, asking myself why they are so quiet ...
was in the bar where i earned my name as Mr Oban . Thanks to Mats and Cecilia i once got tricked into a whiskey tasting and bullish me stated i love Oban so much. During the drinking session they swapped my Single Malt Oban for a blended whisky Famous Grouse .. i failed the test miserably . I still have the nametage Mats prepared for me on my next visit to Sweden. Also i feel the salt taste of the turkish yoghurt i drank with the liters the next day to wash away my hangover .
also the numerous meeting at Mediacatalyst come to mind and fill me with a nice warm feeling and a smile on my face. My god did we do some brilliant and amazing works in those days.
Not to forget the last memories of Amsterdam when a possible future moved closer by, but then suddenly returned to move away from all dreams and hopes.
So yes, the surrounding are quiet now that all of the above is no longer there. Did i come to terms with it ? With some of it yes, with others things no way ... I feel i still carry the longing for those things in my mind and now in the deep of the night i dare to admit that, tomorrow i will have to rise and shine and try to get the same feeling of once before ...
happy travels
