L’éclairage du soleil
sur l ‘eau de la rivière
fait mal, mais c’est si belle.
L’éclairage du soleil sur l’eau
de la rivière qui coule lentement
fait du mal, mais c’est aussi beau.
Je suis toujours impressionné par les rivières
et je ne sais pas pourquoi.
J’ai essaie de l’expliquer dans mes poèmes.
L’éclairage, le soleil, les rivières
redeviendront dans mes poèmes
car ça me fait plaisir.

So next weekend I go with my father and other family (grandfather/mother & aunts, nephews etc. etc. ) to visit Metz, which is a city in France (Lorraine-department Moselle-57). We go to visit a SNCF (=French railways) family whom my grandparents & father etc know already since the sixties, from a SNCF camping side.
First I will visit a very good client of Acer, Hifi in Luxembourg and will drink a vin. Since my birthday is coming ahead I am also looking to a nice birthday present and yes, a dream wil soon come true, because I will ask money this thime to buy a Nikon D60. Advantage for you dear viewers: I will make nice pictures with it 
Oh and the 11th of April it is open house here! You are more then welcome to drink a spomething here and to contribute 
So and now some time for poetry !
On ne faut jamais croire,
on doit juste vivre
car on ne peut pas voir
ce qu’il passe dans le futur.
Le soleil se lèvera toujours à l’Est et
il descend toujours à l’Ouest.
Rivières couleront toujours vers
une direction, si on veut ou pas.
Des jours de tristesse se passent,
comme les jours de la joie.
On peut avoir la chance un jour,
mais aussi le contraire.
Ceci se passe maintenant,
ceci se passera demain,
si on veut ou pas et
on ne peut rien faire contre.
Si on veut croire que ceci on peut changer,
on vis que dans des rêves.
Rêver et croire ce n’est pas mauvais,
car avec ça on survit.

You should never believe,
you should just live,
because you can’t see
what will happen in the future.
The sun will always rise to the East and
it always goes down to the West.
Rivers will always flow towards
one direction, if one wants or not.
Days of sadness occur,
just like days of the joy.
You can have luck one day,
but also the contrary.
This occurs now,
this will occur tomorrow,
if one wants or not and
you can nothing make against.
If somebody wants to believe that this can change,
you live only in dreams.
To dream and believe is not bad,
because with that you can survive.

Some of you, dear readers, do maybe not knwo I write in my spare time poetry, mostly in French. Since I am a bit more open about it I get only good comments and I like that, really: it gives me the strenght to conitnue with it.
This morning I went to Amsterdam to attend a short film festival with short films from the Balkans. It was organized by “Donau-magazine” and I really enjoyed it.
Then I had a meeting with Masha , a friend of me, and she invited me for a classical concert in the “Concertgebouw”. So you never go to a classical concert, so you go twice a week….But this evening I saw playing one of the top piano players in the world: Grigory Sokolov, from Russia…. I was with Masha and friends and I did pay only 10 euro’s instead of the 50 or 60 euro’s which other people did pay.
In one word: marvellous!!! Grigory Sokolov did play works of Beethoven (sonate nr2 and nr13) and Schubert (D850?) and it was wonderfull in a wondefull setting. I still do not have a lot of music knowledge, but I have a good teacher !
I go to sleep now, it is late (since again I had problems with the Dutch railways, but this time it was announced…). I go to dream a long with beautifull piano plays….
“La musique, c’est du bruit qui pense” – Victor Hugo
La poésie est l’art d’entendre ton cœur
et de transmettre ça dans des mots.
La musique est l’art d’entendre ton cœur
et de transmettre ça dans des tons.
Quand j’écoute la musique
je voudrais écrire un poème comme celle-ci,
mais c’est difficile de comprendre les tons et
les pensées du compositeur.
La liaison entre la musique et la poésie
est difficile de comprendre si tu voudrais le faire.
L’une donne l’impulsion à l’autre,
mais tous les deux sont guidées par le cœur.
C’est le cœur qui fait des poèmes et
c’est le cœur qui fait la musique.
Il ne fait pas trop y penser,
il faut juste s’amuser du rendement.
Amsterdam (NL), le 15 mars 2009
Poetry is the art to hear your heart
and to transmit that into words.
The music is art to hear your heart
and to transmit that into musical notes.
The connection between the music and poetry
is difficult to understand if you would like to do it.
One gives the impulse to the other,
but both are guided by the heart.
It is the heart which makes poems and
it is the heart which makes the music.
You should not too much think about it,
you should just enjoy the output.

Here again an update, click here.
Please click for an update about the Macedonian presidential and local elections here
Ok my ego also wants something sometimes. Yesterday I wrote an article about the coming presidential and local elections in Macedonia, as you can read below. After I putted it online I wrote a message to a Dutch journalist in Belgrado to ask an opinion…
Now he wrote a blog , because of my blog 
.
Check it here: http://belgradeblogger.blogspot.com/

Unfortunately it is in Dutch, but maybe google translater can help you.
And more ego stuff today: I got a diploma today! I succesfully succeed with my “communication training” which was offered by the company were I work.
Ok now it is time for my other passion I have in my life: French poetry. This time I do not publice of my own work, because I am too busy to write myself these days. Writing takes time and knows its period of up and down.
So I will finish the blog of today with a nice poem of my favourite poetry writer, Jacques Prevert.
« Le contrôleur»
Allons allons
Pressons
Allons allons
Voyons pressons
Il y a trop de voyageurs
Trop de voyageurs
Pressons pressons
Il y en a qui font la queue
Il y en a partout
Beaucoup
Le long du débarcadère
Ou bien dans les couloirs du ventre de leur mère
Allons allons pressons
Pressons sur la gâchette
Il faut bien que tout le monde vive
Alors tuez-vous un peu
Allons allons
Voyons
Soyons sérieux
Laissez la place
Vous savez bien que vous ne pouvez pas rester là
Trop longtemps
Il faut qu’il y en ait pour tout le monde
Un petit tour on vous l’a dit
Un petit tour du monde
Un petit tour dans le monde
Un petit tour et on s’en va
Allons allons
Pressons pressons
Soyez polis
Ne poussez pas.
- Jacques Prévert
The 22nd of March 2009 presidential and local elections will be held in Macedonia. The polling stations will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and, 1.8 million can vote. The main issue will be: will the elections will be peacefully, without accidents? After the incidents of the parliamentary elections the 1st of June 2008 these elections will be a test for Macedonia: is Macedonia a democratic country were elections can be held fair and most of all in peace without violence? That we will know the 22nd of March….
I wrote a whole article about it, please click here (add 17.03.10: this will be moved) for the main article…
I booked my flights, Balkans here I come again. So wednesday 20th May, flight Amsterdam-Vienna in the morning, in the evening Vienna-Sarajevo, so I can spend sometime in Vienna.
Then from Sarajevo to Kraljevo I take the bus (probaly the 23th May), so I can be on the wedding of my friend Darko the 24th of May. Then after I will see what I will do: or I go to Kosovo (Pristina), or I go to the coast of Montenegro, or Macedonia, but to Montenegro I has to go because the 2nd of June I have a flight Podgorica-Vienna-Amsterdam!
New countries to visit, new horizons, I am looking forward to it!
