And i wanted to know if anybody here knows or eventually have ever heard about small orphanages over there? or associations? or peoples who lives in Thailand?
Any information, contact, adress is more than welcome!

"The bow of promise, this lost flaring star,
Terror and hope are in mid-heaven; but She,
The mighty-wing’d crown’d Lady Melancholy,
Heeds not. O to what vision’d goal afar
Does her thought bear those steadfast eyes which are
... A torch in darkness? There nor shore nor sea,
Nor ebbing Time vexes Eternity,
Where that lone thought outsoars the mortal bar.
Tools of the brain–the globe, the cube–no more
She deals with; in her hand the compass stays;
Nor those, industrious genius, of her lore
Student and scribe, thou gravest of the fays,
Expect this secret to enlarge thy store;
She moves through incommunicable ways."

Maybe have you heard the news yesterday.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16161746
It happened in my city, and it's a strange feelling to see that kind of awful thing happening where you live, in a place you love.

I went to work today, i walked across the streets, i saw peoples crying, i saw flowers everywhere on the floor, and the whole city was so quiet, nobody spoke in the streets. It was kind of weird, and really sad.
You always think it can't happen where you live, you always think it can't be true.
When i heard the news yesterday, i was really worried for my friends and my family. Luckily everybody is ok, but i can't stop thinking about thoses innocent peoples who died.
And what makes me even more sad and angry, it's all the stupid things peoples are telling about the origin of the killer. Like if everybody was waiting for this attack to express their racism. I discovered that many peoples around me were actually racist. I hate racism, i really do. Who cares about where that person comes from? He could have been from Belgium, or from Africa, or from Japan, it won't explain this awful act. I can't get it.
So many terrible things are happening every day, it makes me really sad to think about the world we live in.


Jacques Brel, Il neige sur Liège.

It snows, it is snowing over Liège,
and the snow above Liège, to snow, puts on gloves.
It snows, it is snowing over Liège,
crossing the black of the Maas (river) onto the brow of a white clown.
Broken is the cry
of the hours and of the birds,
of children in the cradle,
and of the black and of the gray.
It snows, it is snowing over Liège,
through which the river passes without a sound.

It snows, it is snowing above Liège,
and swirls so between the sky and Liège
that one doesn’t know if it snows, if it is snowing on Liège
or if it is Liège that is snowing toward the sky.
And the snow marries
first-time sweethearts,
lovers walking
on the whitened square.
It snows, it snows on Liège,
which the river carries away without a sound.

Tonight, this night, it is snowing on my dreams and on Liège,
which the river pierces through without a sound.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
- Albert Camus

Oh, life, always full of surprises.



I feel happy, just happy.




(progress)

I have new project for my art, i am so motivated, so inspired, my head will explode with all the ideas and the desires i have. I know i'll succeed in my plans, i have now the feeling anything is possible.



Much has changed around me, in my life, and it's still changing a lot (i'm not only talking about work, or art, i'm talking about my way of life, about myself, about my feelings with other humans being, about my future). Travelling again and leaving Belgium, at least for a few months, is something i'm planning really seriously, and it makes me so happy. As some of you knows, i spent 8 months in Australia 4 years ago. It was, for sure, the best times of my life. Each day, i wake up, and i think about this country and the peoples i met there. I miss thoses times so much.

I begin to feel the need to travel again, the need to move on, to meet new peoples, discover new cultures, new landscapes. Canada is one of those country i want to visit. I'm taking as much informations as i can about the working holidays visa (the same i got for Australia), if everything is doing well, i could leave Belgium in a few years (2 years sounds great actually, as it takes time to obtain the visa, save money, etc...).
Until then, i hope to visit more countries, even if it's just for a few days, or some weeks.



I thought i should share some art i love with you:







Gottfried Helnwein, probably one of my favourite artist, so far.





Martin Wittfooth





Walton Ford





Jana Brike





Oleg Duryagin



Lindsey Carr



Pavel Maria Smejkal has made a fascinating series of pictures which explore the way in which photos become ‘our culture heritage, our image bank, a memory of nations, a symbol, a propaganda instrument’. He has removed the most important part of each photograph, the element that has made the image a visual icon. Here are two examples - do you know what’s missing?



Caravaggio was born 29 September, in 1571 and died just 39 years later. He was believed by many to have created a revolution in art with his dark and tumultuous paintings which reflected his own dramatic, violent and complicated life. Do you agree with the French critic Andre Berne-Joffroy, who said: ‘What begins in the work of Caravaggio is, quite simply, modern painting.’



Oh look what i've got today:



And you know, i have a cat too:



And cat loves helping kostarkastor while he's working.
