Life begins after Coffee

Hello and good morning. When I woke up I thought it was Monday. Thank goodness it wasn't. I still get to rest a little before Monday and a new, tough week has to start. Last night I was at Laura's place. We watched White Chicks and ate yummy fruits and nuts. A night in, simple and nice. After that I came home and listened to Moby. Sometimes past midnight I  just sit down and just listen to the music, read the lyrics and drown in it all. Moby is to me almost what Burial is to Laura. His music emanates feelings I sometimes think I'm alone to feel. The lyrics are sometimes so accurate they make me cry. My absolute favorites are Porcelain, When it's cold I'd like to die and Lie down in darkness.

I have a thing for lyrics. I write them down in notebooks. I think I have 6 notebooks full of my favorite lyrics. I wonder how many hours I've devoted to writing down all of them. Well, I guess there are worse things to spend your time on.

...

Midnight is long

The life I knew is gone

There is nothing that I've ever seen

Darker than it's been

The Sun is gone

The lights have gone to sleep

I never knew the dark could be so deep

Somewhere you are warm

But I'm never going home

...

(Moby-Gone to Sleep)

Can't wait for March to fly past. Spring is on its way and then Summer's going to be here and that is going to be amazing.

Another favorite set of lyrics (Signs of love by Moby, of course):

...

Away we could run

I can see the light come peering through the sky in my mind

Closing people come in but also lying on the floor

I would hold you in my arms until we both are home

I would hold you in my arms until we both are all alone

....

Oh, and last but not least, today's breakfast. It was so good I just had to post a photo. Millet porridge with paleo egg nog (soy milk, egg yolks, coconut milk, agave syrup and spices). Looking forward to getting myself to the gym in a couple of hours for some core workout and then my house and dancehall classes. Hope you all have a relaxed Sunday!

7 days of breakfast

No moi. Minä rakastan aamupalaa. Tiedoks vaan. Täältä tulee 7 settii sitä parasta safkaa. Pitäs ottaa parempia kuvia, toi mun SIII kamera rupee olemaan ihan hyödytön. Ehkä pitäis alkaa ottamaan valokuvia mun järkkärillä. Se vaan mätänee tuolla kirjahyllyssä päivä toisensa jälkeen. Reppana. Samma på svenska.


Overslept a bit this morning so I stayed at home. Had so much fun with Laura last night. What an adventure life is. Hakuna matata.

So, everybody (?) knows I'm a bigtime breakfast maniac. No morning is a morning without a good breakfast. I doubt I'd ever be able to do intermittent fasting, for that reason exactly. Ooh, and I've found so many great raw vegan recipes lately, so I'm super excited to try new things!

So here we go, 7 breakfasts, 6 days. Notice that one breakfast is missing the usual cup of coffee (with soy milk). That's because I ate it in the evening instead of dinner.So actually this is only 6 days of breakfast. I have a bad habit of not eating proper dinner and replacing it with something breakfast-y. I prefer breakfast anyway, always. Unless we're talking goat cheese. That's probably the sole thing I will miss when turning into a vegan. Because I will. I wouldn't not be a vegan, living with Laura. It would feel so weird to eat meat in front of a vegan. Oh right, I think I had a bite of chicken in front of you Laura last night haha. I go against my own principles. Well, I  gotta get rid of the 1 kg chicken breast that's still in my fridge. Once that is gone (and trust me, it's gonna take a while), I will begin a vegan life. Tata! I shall continue watching Suits now, then it's time for some HIIT Tabata. Stay strong and have a lovely Saturday!

For Now I Am Winter

Ah, Monday morning. I could've slept one hour more but I chose to get up in favor of having more time. Which equals no stress. I have a profound love of mornings. Breakfast, Coffee, Silence. Good music (Currently:Ólafur Arnalds), Reading and Meditating. And on top of it all, the sun is shining today. Finally. I feel this is going to be a good week. I have a busy week at work ahead of me. And you know what? I think I got my bluetooth headphones to work again. Yay for music on the metro!

Hope you guys have a great Monday!

Peace out, out and about
