Cloudbusting 94


I have felt inspired recently
thanks to Sky Watch
and all the wonderful people there
Now excuse me
I must be on my way
to search new views for a while
I´ll be back some day

Cloudbusting 93


Darkness envelopes the town in the afternoon
Decorating the package with tiny grey ribbons
11 months in a merry-go-round
has mutated in to 1 month roller coast ride
also known as holiday in july
Can´t wait

Cloudbusting 92

I have always lived near the ground
often second floor
once 4th floor for 8 months
Recently I have thought about going higher
like 8th or 9th
How would it feel like?

Cloudbusting 91

Another fine morning rises
The whole orchestra plays a symphony
on the strings of my heart
I feel lucky in so many ways

Rainbusting 2

Rain beats the grey concrete suburb
it feels refreshing and good
It´s such an amazing sonic experience
like thousands of tiny speakers
sharply teasing the earwax
from every possible direction

I can´t remember if I read that somewhere
or was it actually my own thought
These days the line between your own thoughts
and the ones you copy-pasted from someone else
is such a thin one

Yeah yeah

Yiihaa, come on
Yeah yeah
I don´t mind a little rain

I´ve seen many flag-photos lately. I thought I should have one too. It´s actually a bit difficult to get both the flag and the clouds to perform at the same time. The clouds here are quite okay but the flag is underperforming just a little bit. It takes quite a wind to make the flag flat. When I got it flat the clouds were gone.

Of course there was some ******* grilling right next to this place. How can you grill for over an hour if you do food for only 3-4 people? How many greasy sausages do you actually need? Isn´t it bad for your brains to inhale gas for hours? I guess the damage was already done...I´m no vegan but the smell of gas and excessive grease just makes me feel awful. Why people are complaining about somebody smoking for couple of minutes on the balconies when there is *******´s grilling in their yards for hours and hours. There is extractor fans in every kitchen now to keep the fumes away, but why is it okay then to drown whole neighbourhood´s in gas fumes??? I blame the TV chefs. There´s these celeb chefs in TV, who think they are like some friggin hotshot gourmet Picasso´s or something. They always cook outside in picturesque places, like mountains or by the sea or something . The TV just doesn´t tell that they are actually surrounded by this hideous smell of gas. Then these ordinary dimwits think that they can match those TV Picasso´s, but they obviously can´t. **** them all, I just can´t stand it anymore!!

I have seen hundreds of dawns
bright irresistible revelations
Each one of them different
with new colours and forms
There are days when I´m not allowed to feel uninspired

During a party
I´m one of those trees
next to a footlamp
but I like to watch you dance
and I´m sure you like that too

Rainbusting 1

Finland has a climate that many people don´t like
I like it
Many people say it rains a lot and it´s cold
I find it refreshing

In summer the society says that you have to go outside
or you are a bad person
You must go out to blinding sun
You must grill smelly sausages
You must enjoy the gifts of nature
or you are a bad person

Hard rain is my saviour
it saves me from the guilt
I can do whatever I usually do

I didn´t sleep one minute
my mind was a black void
There is no on-off switch
for the lights of summer
The new morning greeted me
with a sea of sparkling white pearls
I forgot the aching temple of my body

Helsinki, Helsinki, Helsinki
I used to love you
I used to care
but...
now I have other things in my mind
something practical and easy
unlike you

Cloudbusting 82 + Anton


U2, R.E.M., Johnny Cash, Depeche Mode, Clint Eastwood, Joy Division...is Anton Corbijn really so good? He makes them all look like wrinkly hobos, all super grainy with a hint of sepia. He doesn´t tell much about his subjects, more about himself. If he told more about his subjects then he probably wouldn´t have a retrospective.

Flying high
that´s where I want to be
but seldom do
I guess I should do something about it
if I only had money
if I only had time
if I only had energy
if I only had motivation...

I looked at my fingers
another year
another new set of handsome wrinkles
even a hand lotion won´t save me from those

I see a lot of promise in my future
not necessarily now or next week
but years from now
That sure feels good
it´s that simple

Cloudbusting 77

My favourite restaurant
or at least the one restaurant I visit sometimes
because it´s near
If I was a celebrity and I had to pick 5 of my favourite restaurants
I could pick only one and it would be crappy one too
That´s one of the reasons I´m not a celebrity
The lunches are mostly greasy food for "real men"
It has a terrace outside
with lots of men smoking and drinking beer
They used to smoke inside
and the smoke was dense, thick and smelly
Now there is a law against smoking inside
soon there will be a law against smoking outside too
I don´t mind
it sometimes made my head hurt

If I do something long enough
certain elements appear repeatedly
It doesn´t matter
it still touches me.

I haven´t painted much since the 90´s
Got to find some space
where I can let the brushes fly
without restrictions

- Hey!
- What?
- Can you see me?
- Where?
- Stop that. You can see me ;) ;)
- Yes I can , I just thought you were someone else.
- I watch you often.
- That´s nice to know. I think of you too.
- You are doing just fine and I´m proud of you.
- Thanks a lot. That makes me feel good.
- You could visit me sometimes.
- Yes I could...it´s just a stone. I think of you.
- You can come anytime. I don´t have a busy schedule.
- You are right. I come by next week.
- That´s what you always say.
- I try.
- It was good to talk to you, now I must disappear. It´s hard to hold myself together.
- I´ll be here.
- Don´t say to the others that you saw me this way and you talked to me. They don´t understand.
- I will not talk about it.
- That´s what you always say. Bye
- Bye, see you again.

Cloudbusting 70

June came again
There is no noisy kids going to school
Half of the busses are taking a long break
Everything is going in slow mo
No real darkness in the nights
Hot and sweaty
The guilt of being in the city
Pressure to go outside to the blinding sunshine
the curse of the computer drone vampire
Neighbours grill meaty greasy gas smelly sausages
Everywhere people grill gas smelly stuff
Makes me feel quesy
It will be worse in july
I wish it would go back to normal already

Painted my front door recently
Paint was too thick
and now the door looks a bit blobby
I guess I will just live with that
