Austria and back, no thank you!

Alright, so today was my last day before the weekend. Friday is my day off. Today was also the last last before my boss goes on holidays for a week.
Today was a busy busy day, it´s the first time I have been so focussed that I missed lunch. I left for a meeting just after lunch hour, I had to borrow a car, because the two cars we can book were already in use, so I borrowed my boss´ little car.
So I had my papers and my wallet with my driver´s license, I put my wallet in the glovecomparment so I didn´t have to take it around with me (had a few stops on my way south on the island) as I put it in the glovedepartment I thought to myself, better remember it or it goes to Austria.
I busy on, get back to my desk and before I knew it I was on the bus on my way home from work. The busdrive home on Thursdays I often use fantasising about dinner, so I had planned to go past the store on my way home to pick up some grocceries when it FINALLY dawned on me...oh yes the glovedepartment, my dear wallet with everything in it...So I get off the bus at my usual stop, call my boss. Fortunantly they don´t leave before tomorrow afternoon, so I can get my wallet instead of sending it on a trip to Austria. Thus my quiet morning tomorrow all gone:(

memories of a forgotten past

Lately I have found myself looking back at a certain time in life, that pops out now and again like a my supprise, a forgotten past.
For some reason the almost springweather gives me the urge to listen to Kirk Franklin´s version of "Lovely day".
"Lovely day" is such a "happy dabby" song. It instantly brings me back to Amsterdam DTS days, Saturday mornings, with the sun shinning outside and everybody in a lazy mood AND then sometimes "lovely day" blasting out of my little cd player.
THIS though was not the time I specificly was thinking about....the "forgotten past" comes when my trail of thoughts continue and "lovely day" is over and I think of what other songs by Kirk I would like to listen to...oh yes, then I youtube "stomp" and THAT´s what brings the supprise...
In my younger days, my teens I guess, the church I attended had a very active youth group...within this youth group this band "New Power Generation Band" was formed, a band that would play Kirk Franklin-ish songs, and actual Kirk songs like "stomp". The purpose of the band as I recall was to bring out "the good news" in a modern "fresh" way, to show the world, we christians are NOT boring and WE HAVE FUN...
So you may ask what was my part in all this (well I guess it could have been anything since I am multitalented, but I only discovered that side of me ten years ago and this was before that time:)). WELL WELL I was a part of the dancing crew... When we topped we were 4 dancers, but mostly it was me and two others, we would make up coreographies to the songs and be a part of the stage show, we even did shaddow dancing.
When I remember myself in that time I remember enjoying it a lot, it was fun and a lot of the musicians and singers, were the "cool people" that I normally didn´t hang out with. And one of the dancers was a friend from Copenhagen that would come over and dance with us.
When I think back though I just have to say OH MY GOSH!!! and really it´s a time of my life I just don´t have on my usually "memory lane thought trail" and then it pops up like a SUPPRISE at certain times and I AM supprised and a little bit embarrased everytime I am reminded:)
They video-taped some of our shows, sometimes I think it would be fun to see some of that again, but mostly I hope they have been destroyed:)
