In the past 3 days I was way too busy: I was mowing the lawn. Before you start to complain, let me tell you something. I'm not lazy, neither crazy to keep mowing it for 3 days. I have to show you what I mean:

  

Our garden is in the hillside, so it was kind of 'downhill-mowing'. It took me 3 days to do it according to my father's instruction (probably he thinks that I can't do it myself)...

Today I've got some work to do:

*Print my CV and have some pictures taken for the proper form.

*Buy a pair of shoes for my brand new manager-like outfit.

*Also to have my eyes examined for a new pair of glasses.

I have to go to get all this done, so sorry, update today later with fresh info... 

 

I don't know where to start. A lot of things happened yesterday, I was busy from dawn until dusk...

In the morning I went to the Cora supermarket with Mom, to buy some mineral water. That was the original mission briefing, however, we ended up with buying a new wireless keyboard and a new wireless optical mouse for me and my PC. Of course we haven't missed spending a lot of time at the books section and DVD section... Anyway, I don't want to sum up the whole day, just let me mention one more thing about my BNL (Brand New Life)...

Yesterday in the afternoon I went to CIB Bank and opened a new bank account. I tell you why. I already had one at OTP Bank, this was a normal account with Junior restrictions. Yesterday I said 'Hell, it's over!', I mean come on, I am a 24-years-old grown man, responsible for my BNL, and I'm not a junior any more... I left school, I'm over 18, so I don't think that I want to say this to my first boss: 'Sure I have a bank account, it's OTP Junior...'. No, junior years are over...

Today morning it is raining cats and dogs. I was out to fetch the newspaper, then I started to laugh as I brought it back in. I took a photo just to explain:

    

Yepp, I told you... And the worst thing is that I have to go to the Miskolc work department to register myself...

Must find my raincoat.

Morning After Rain by Donald Wilkinson

Sorry about that... see you tomorrow in the morning, I got to go to sleep...

I really don't like to put down such words to places of mass communication, but fuck, tonight I had one of the most terrifying and most shocking nightmare ever: I was DEAF. There were no sounds at all, no music, no speech, no noise of the wind, even there was no dog barking or traffic noise... It was terrible. Most of the people fear of losing their legs or arms, but the worst thing that could happen to me is to lose my 'favorite' sense: the sense of hearing. That would mean no more listening to music, no more music-making, no more birds' song...

All I can remember is that I was wondering around and crying, but I couldn't hear my own weeping... Then I woke up at about 2 AM, then fell asleep again but the nightmare went on until the morning sunrise... When I woke up for the second time I was so depressive that I couldn't say a word... I was afraid that I won't hear my own words, even if I knew that it was only a dream...

I am an absolutely unreliable person. Friday I wrote that the next update comes up tomorrow - Saturday. But I couldn't write, because I was trying to install my brand new DVD-RW drive to my computer, but it didn't work properly, so I had to uninstall half of my hardware stuff from my PC in order to make it work...

     

Isn't she beautiful? Nope, I don't think so...

So this is the reason why I am unreliable... Maybe I have to make some rules, not only about my journal-writing habits, but about my whole brand new life... Be back later today, and I will work out my rules of life...

Here I go again... I've been quite busy up to now, sorry for the lack of updates and new entries...
I'm still looking for a job. I got an e-mail from some company and a call from another, so I have to write my CVs both in English and Hungarian. Things to do...
At least I'm quite relaxed and okay, thanks to my new, regular eating and sleeping habits. Currently I'm in Nyíregyháza waiting for a friend of mine to come so we can go somewhere to have a beer... here he comes, so I've got to go. Next update tomorrow (I promise)!

Holla,

I haven't been here for a while and I'm sorry for that...!

Finally I have my degree in my hands (after the ceremony in a stadium - 40°C, etc.), so now I am up to find a real job to start my brand new life... It is harder than I thought, since I don't even know what kind of job am I looking for... Am I going to be an English teacher? Or a librarian? Or an Ethics teacher? Or some combination of any of these? I really don't have a clue yet...

I'm going to do another update later in the evening, maybe I'll have something to share... 

I've found a few great pictures, so let me link them here:

A map of the inner city (reminds me of Silent Hill)

Salt lake (word-by-word translation)

Water Tower

The author says, it is 'light pollution'

And all this, this is here:

Yesterday my brother rang me up and said he cannot get the car... maybe on Thursday... maybe.
In fact I don't have much to say about yesterday, only one thing:

That strange peace didn't seem to leave me, in the evening, it was stronger than ever before. I was standing on the balcony for a long-long time and kept staring at the world. I had strange thoughts about the city which I'm going to leave in a week. I realized that I spent 6 years here, I know it better than my home town...

Streets, people, sights, buses, buildings, feelings - I am going to leave all that behind, and probably never going to return...

   

Nyíregyháza by Night

Peace is not determined by place, but by people. Ha ha, nice recognition after 24 years, Adam - You may say, but, in fact, it is, at least for me. We use phrases like 'peaceful place', 'peaceful quiet', etc., but now I know that peace doesn't come from the surroundings but from the inside... Quiet, beauty - these are more like 'amplifiers' than 'sources'.

I felt this back then, 2 days ago or some, but that was in Miskolc, at home. And now here, in Nyíregyháza. Even the morning noise of the traffic doesn't bother me. There is no quiet here, no time there is. The continuous noise of the street climbs up to the fourth floor, no matter I want to sleep, listen to music, eat, have sex, chill - noise is always the same. Maybe  that is why I can keep listening to it for long-long minutes, even hours. There are so much temporary things in this World, and humans always look for stability, for something that is for ever - I found this permanence in the noise. Isn't that funny?

I don't even try to describe this peace-in-the-noise phenomenon, but maybe I can show it:

Isn't that beautiful...?

Here I am, back at Nyíregyháza...
I wonder what comes next in my life, because I am planning to move, you know. I am here to pack my stuff before Wednesday. Hopefully my brother will come with a Peugeot Partner, so we can transport all my things in one run. Hopefully, I said, because first he has to get that car (talk to the boss, sign some papers, blah, blah...). Here's the list:
Lots of books
Computer (full, including monitor, speakers, etc.)
Clothes
Kitchen stuff (including all kinds of things) + Microwave oven
Hi-Fi tower
Bathroom stuff
Posters and drawings and more
Midi Keyboard
CD's and audio cassettes
Misc (all that I left out)

Good luck, Adam (you'll need it...)!
