eternal sunshine on the spotless mind

We’ve got God on our side
We’re just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear’s a powerful thing.

This time it has nothing to do with what I think about our role in this war, but rather I see a mother who lost her son, a widow who lost her husband and two little girls who will grow up without their father. Were this not already enough they now must deal with a [...]

Yesterday I made the annual visit to Mt Field to see the fagus (or ‘cornflake tree’ as it known by my friends’ kids) as it changed colour. This year winter has come a bit earlier than usual so we found ourselves walking through the snow and in the snow, but the scenery was no [...]

i must sound so stupid among all those other things on my mind. i just came home from a bar, where my favorite jacket was stolen / taken by someone. it not only cost me a lot of money but also meant a lot to me. i wonder who could take stuff just like that. [...]

For the past couple of days I’ve been thinking again about getting on my bike and riding. As Leon would say, ‘up on over them hills and then just keep on riding’…As I was playing hockey this morning, looking out at the cyclists on the bike track,  the feeling was even stronger than ever. This [...]

Kaikkea saa tehdä.
Kaikkea pitää tehdä.
Kaikkia ovia pitää tempoa,
kaikkia kuita kurkotella.
On vain yksi ehto,

Life is a world full of contrasts. Emiliy writing about a new baby bringing joy to a family at the other end of the world. And then on the other side there is Robert, my dad’s friend who died today. Most likely caused by the consequences of life-long alcohol abuse. My dad knows that, we [...]

This past Saturday marked 10 years since my dear grandfather died. On one level it feels as if it was only yesterday but when I take the time to reflect I immediately realise how much has changed in this time. At some moments there is a tangible sadness at what he has missed, but with [...]

People associate me with a time when movies were pleasant, when women wore pretty dresses in films and you heard beautiful music. I always love it when people write me and say ‘I was having a rotten time, and I walked into a cinema and saw one of your movies, and it made such a [...]
