Summer of Love

Finally! I got to watch this nice TV show on my all-time favourite subject: the 60s and 70s. The summer of love. The flower 60s.

It's all so fascinating.
Even though I didn't know there's so much drugs and sex involved.

When I was watching the show, I sort of understood why I was so fascinated by those good old days: I always feel kind of empty, and the passion embodies in those days was like the opposite me; it is like the desired self-image, with that kind of dedication, and almost ignorance. I wish I could be more like that, to be crazy about something, and to believe in something in such a intensive manner.

I am not. But it's good to know more about it.
The show came as a total surprise: I talked about it with Birgitta the other night, about my not well-reasoned obsession with the 60s. She just saw it randomly on TV. So we watched it together.

It was all so beautiful, despite the overwhelming amount of sex.
Sex is like the ultimate and easiest way to free oneself I assume.

They believed in many things: they believed they can change the world.
It was a revolution.
And that's the touching part.
They had this naive belief; and it is sad that I find it naive to start with.

Am I a nihilist?

And the funny thing is, Johan's parent have this CD of Janis Japlin sitting on the bookshelf. Now I feel like I am in those second hand store again: I can find treasure! As long as I dig more, I can find something as a total surprise! And that is a unique experience, totally totally private. I love that feeling.

I am gonna start digging more.
