…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).

THE BUILDING AND THE OLD MAN (OR HOW LIFE IN CENTRAL EUROPE DESTROYS LOVE)

This is a poem, in the non-traditional sense of poetry, which i wrote in creative writing at Colorado State University. The building is on campus, but it reminded of Hungary. I thought about this building being the other man who came between the Old Man and his wife. I decided to make it into a […]

Happy Birthday Tamas Karoly Pal

Happy Birthday Tamas. i miss you. These songs and scenes remind me of nine years of friendship, which i will never forget. Our favourite series and the best imitation of the chicken dance. You saved my life and then you took it away. And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all […]

Placement Test

Yesterday i took my English placement test for Front Range Community College. i passed it with flying colours. i was very nervous, especially when i had to write the essay. The essay was actually graded by a computer. i am not sure how it manages to correct an essay. i met with an advisor and […]

töltött káposzta

Today i prepared töltött káposzta (stuffed cabbage, but i did it Beáta Stanicsné Bödő-style and i layered it). It is one of my favourite Hungarian dishes. Please do not tell me that i prepared it the wrong way because there are as many ways to prepare it as there are families in Hungary. Some families make […]

Colorado DMV is Unorganised

This was the most adventurous day i have had in a long time. In the morning i went to take my driving license test, but realized that i had checked the wrong item on the on-line site of the DMV. i was not the only one, many before me have done the same, so […]

Jelly Cafe

Arriving safely to Denver Airport was a happy moment, but my friend Nick took me to a place i have wanted to visit for a long time in Denver, Jelly Cafe. They have the best holes there. Their holes are filled with wonderful flavours, flavours that explode in your mouth. i had two favorites, […]

Baton Rouge

Yesterday, my sister took me to the state capital buildings, yes with an “s” because Baton Rouge has a new one and an old one. The new one was built in the 1930’s by Huey P. Long the governor at the time and it would be the building in which he was shot in […]

So Hard For The Money

i went to the world famous French Quarter. It happened that i was fortunate to be there during the last day of the French Quarter Festival. There was live music on the streets and many people out enjoying the sunshine. It was a bit more expensive than usual for parking, so that was unfortunate. The […]

Avery Island the Home of Tabasco

Today i went to Avery Island. It is where the most famous hot sauce, Tabasco, is made. It was really fascinating hearing about the process of making the sauce. It is stored three years in wooden barrels and then stirred for 20 something days. Even more exciting to hear, Tabasco Company is into saving the […]
