today we remember the tragic loss of 21 young lives and many hundreds of injured during the LoveParade in Duisburg, Germany on July 24, 2010.

a sad, dark day which has its shadows cast the every-day-life of everyone living in this area here.

it is still an open wound that might never heal. we will never forget.

A friend of a friend died there last year, I might give her a call later today although I know she'll be destroyed and absolutely not keen to talk... but I'll try anyway. May all those young souls rest in peace. . . .

give her a call. even though she might very well not be ready to talk, she will most certainly appreciate that you think of her and offer an open ear.
I can only speak for myself, but it is still almost unbearable to see the videos and hear the stories of those who survived, already a year on now. I wasn't there, though in a place nearby where I heard the sirens of the ambulances and saw the helicopters fly overhead -- but it all brings tears to my eyes immediately, still, after a whole year gone by. It seems like yesterday. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to have lost a dear one there.

You mean this evening?

Fine, a bit tired due to not that much sleeping and a lot of traveling the last few days. How's yourself?

Evening for you, 5am for me!!! Quite good actually. went to
a Roy Orbison tribute show last week, doing a massive internet site project for someone in England and been working a lot too.

Where you been on your travels?

Our summer cottage, and this weekend, Sweden's capital Stockholm Was on my first pro-golf tournament, exciting to see that those people you see on TV actually exist as well.

Has that karaoke night you talked about happened yet?

That sounds like great fun! To see those people you see on TV and hearing them is something else, though.

Do you travel a lot?

Not the karaoke night, no. Not had much time. I did see the Roy Orbison show on Friday though and got to meet the singer. Very friendly guy, meeting someone you admire is really something else.

I don't know... I think I travel quite a bit for someone who doesn't have a job that makes you travel.

You?
