Ouh yeah! My glorious vocation

so.... at last first time this summer i get my one week of deserved vacation (well at-least i think i deserved it ^^) that's super sweet. I'm staying in Kleve, Deutchland in a about 6km from border with Netherlands (amhh i might just maybe visit Amsterdam if' I'll be feeling that way)
Kleve by itself isn't so much of exciting place, but because some of my relatives live there its a nice vacation and kinda little version of family reunion :) so anyways i have an amazing view to Schwanenburg from my balcony so maybe I'll grab some acrylics and do a painting or two later next week.
Aaah and even more good/happy news :))) -hehe I like those.

have you seen Bound for Glory?

just came back from pub "Artistai" there was this Canadian guy singin real nice american/canadian folk style songs that reminded me of Woodie Guthrie. Do you know this artist? if not please check! his songs are really great and inspirational, there is very good film called Bound for Glory (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074235/) that you should definitely see if you're interested in period of great depression in america (hell we have this great depression just right now in baltics you might think) lol i would say, its nothing compared what people had to face back a decade ago. well some good vibes to end day :)



got to get to work before 10 a clock tomorrow so I'd better be going now

PS. the guy who performed@artistai has band (containing of one person... ahem himself) which is called Old Seed,
see his myspace page here http://www.myspace.com/oldseed
and whats for Woodie see this nice playlist on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5NJKx8ObDY&a=GxdCwVVULXeFAEK-i7PoxHaE84t9DaVQ
