Heartbreak
While I was sorting through my writings, I found a short text I wrote more than two years ago. Unedited, here is a flashback of my July ‘09.
Mathematics, philosophy, programming, in-line skating, and everything in between. More about me…
While I was sorting through my writings, I found a short text I wrote more than two years ago. Unedited, here is a flashback of my July ‘09.
A few days ago I returned from a four-day skating tour to the German Flaeming. I have traveled 176 kilometers on eight wheels and listened to hours of my favorite music: trance (for me, in-line skating and music form an inseparable symbiosis). I hereby announce that Flaeming is the paradise on earth for skaters…
Your trusty headphones serve you the familiar rhythms of Armin van Buuren’s brilliant trance. The sun is shining like crazy, the wind is buzzing in your ears, and the eight polyurethane wheels literally sing in contact with the asphalt. You love in-line skating, and you have been missing it for too long. You speed up; the combined noise of wind and wheels nearly drowns out the music. The volume clearly needs to be increased. You do so without slowing down. The outside world is a blur; the houses, the gardens, the parked cars, the occasional pedestrians taking a stroll. Faster, faster! You’re flying, spreading wings, stroking the wind…no, you are the wind. You are Zephyrus.
