Your a cool sweet girl..
Be yourself.. Be a freak, be free and feel that joy. Remember how happy you were that summer that spinned your life..
Get dressed in mini lepard print dress. Get out and shoot in dark.
Thats how we both met - each of us coming from our own kingdom....

I've got a lot of questions on my mind today..
a) what do you do when shit hits the fan??
b) is woman nothing without a man..??
c)does anyone look at you seriously unless you have a partner that you share your life and maybe business with??
d) does the last $10 on your account definitely means that no matter how foggy the future looks, it will bring the next comission in before you get down to $9??
e) do you ever really get a second chance??
f) do you rise your value in business by being a "slut"??

These are just few...Good night dear friends.. I hope tomorrow comes with an enlightment..

Friend of mine emailed me tonight that his father died....
I wrote him back to keep his head up and tried to tell some jokes about how weird sometimes latvian funerals are.. That ladys play keybord in cemetery and sing songs that makes everybody cry..
but, but all these news made me feel like i have gone somewhere too disconnected from reality..Hooked up in some modern living with lots of rules of how to operate business minds..
I am with you nick..
Keep your spirit up man..
Lots of love xx

while on a bus to Riga two days ago I read an interview with Jane Hilton in Telegraph.. It was about her latest project "Dead Eagle Trail " Trully, sincerely amazing, amazing book.. About COWBOYS...
And there was a quote that gives you that butterfly feeling in your stomach and the lump in your throat at the same time...: " My horse is my church and I am out with God every day.." mm.....

I had some time with Katrina today.. She said, how she hates the volleyball training her mother pushes her to do.. And how she has decided to run away from it.. I shared some experience from my school times, when i used to run away from school for the sake of spending some time of jumping on abandoned spring bed at the nearest milk factory back yard.. It was amazingly fine moment today with Katrina.. It fed me, it made me feel alive.. I love Katrina.. The feeling when you connect...hmm... I have not taken any pictures of her yet this summer which really is a crime...She is so so beautifull... But hopefully, week after next...
