August 27th 2014

Hello everyone.

Do you have those moments that everything starts to lose its colour? Things around you slowly turning black and white? I am having one of those moments right now and it is really odd. As if I am watching a colour film on a tv which is getting too old to actively show colours on the screen. Odd I tell you.
My vision is also a bit blurry, I wonder what's the cause. It happened just now. Everything is turning and moving...like watching an optical illusion. I believe it is fairly harmless but I do find it odd in a way, making me wonder what the cause could be.
Might be the light, might be stress, might be my eyes getting tired. Maybe I should go to sleep early today. I think I will.

Other than that not much going on I think. I just finished reading "Let the devil sleep" a mastermind thriller novel by John Verdon and the third in the protagonist's Dave Gurney series. The other two are: "Think of a number" and "Shut your eyes tight". I would love to get my hands on the fourth of the series; "Peter Pan must die", however unfortunately it is only available in hardcover while I wish to have the paperback. Why? Because I own all the other books in paperback as well. I suggest that if you are into crime thrillers you give the series a read! They are powerful, well-written and can keep you reading for hours, a habit that was far beyond reach ever since I left primary school. I mean I loved to read as a kid, did do that a lot. Visited the library weekly back then. Somehow at some point I stopped reading. Thing is, I can't read everything anymore, it has to be written in a certain style...a style so catchy you'd want to keep reading.

I have found out that I can find that specific feature in English books, so I try to read things in English as much as I can. I mean ever since a kid I was interested in English. Actually, my English is better than my mother language even if I say so myself. I like to think this is the truth. I understand English better, sometimes I find myself wondering what the Dutch word is for the English word I've got in mind in the situation I find myself in. I even think in English...odd isn't it?

Talking about a certain way of thinking...I often find myself thinking in film-noir style as well, like some kind of Bogart, hah! It certainly has it's funny moments the way I picture it in my own mind. Considering I am a big fan of anything detective.... Film-noir and detective? Golden combination if you ask me.
I suppose I have bored you enough with my rather unusual way of thinking, but I hope it brings a little light on the person that is me. Thank you for your time and catch you around next time!

Yours truly,

Mike
