Parallels

Exactly a year ago they showed Arsenal's Champions League quarter final at the Carling Academy, Islington. Outside on Upper Street my then girlfriend decided that she didn't want to see the match and that was the last i saw of her; i could tell by the look in her eyes.

Last night they showed Arsenal again. This time i wasn't invited as i am probably the Coldplay of Facebook. Grateful in a way as i have a bit coming up; seeing Chicago, going to a rave. Crowds change.

On Apr 13th last year i went to Vietnam. This year on Apr 18th i'm going to Indonesia. Someone i met in Halong Bay, Vietnam has got in touch, a year later. A cyclical route a year on.
