The Last Weekend

Today is a sunny Sunday with some cool breezes outside and good time to get some sunlight and release the hangover effects of last night. I pack some sandwiches, fruits, some drink, a book and life magazine, and I’m walking to Lund Public Park. I really like this park with those colorful flowers, butterfly and nice sound’s of birds. The park is full of people most of them are the students of Lund University and everybody seated on a corner of green graces and took tier shirt off to enjoy sun more. I think I’m going to keep my shirt on because I’m brown enough and I really don’t want to get dark brown, last time I did it, it wasn’t look good and took me a month to get read of it.
The smell of tree and flowers are incredible and I’m sorry for those poor people who have allergy to this beauty. After ten minutes walking I find a place to seat and it was more difficult than it seems. Every 20 meters somebody lying down and most of them need a little bit privacy to feel more relax about being half naked under the sun. Finally I find my place in the edge of one tree’s shadow. I spread my linen and take out the sandwiches and drinks. I start eating lunch slowly. The lovely weather makes it feel, twice enjoyable. I look at people most of them are eating and interesting part in Sweden is that you can buy a small recyclable BBQ set with low price and some sausages or even tomatoes and have nice fresh meal. - Most young people are already doing it- After lunch I lay down to read the book – The Zahir by Paulo Coelho – as long as I remember Paulo Coelho became famous some years ago and most of my friend were exciting about his books and because of that partiality, I never read them because everybody was talking about them and that was bothering me. Now I think it’s a time to see why most people were interested to those books at that time and good part is I can buy those books with lowest price right now. After reading ten pages I feel, kind of like it. During reading it seems he is talking to me, face to face, and most slangs, he used, are funny, like the part that her wife told him “Few hotels are in Paris where customers are treated like guests rather than homeless people in search of shelter.” After reading 20 pages its time to switch to something else that doesn’t need any attention. I replace a book with magazine and start looking in the picture. Most pages show happy smiley family in beautiful house and cloths to present urban life style. I always wonder that those families in magazine exist in real life too. Everything in the pictures is perfect, clean, colorful, healthy and organize. Probably we need those shiny advertisings to give us the aim for going forward and believing somehow and somewhere we will be one of those families. After 10 minute I get tired of watching the perfect life in the paper so it’s time to lay back and listen to music. I like the mixed combination of different music. Recently I listen to the Old Classic, Asian Folk, Persian Traditional, English Pop and Electronic Dance Club music in the same time. The best way is to put your mp3 player in shuffle mode and leave there. I just find something interesting about music. My favorite music has three general categories, first group is those that are usually refreshing my past memories, second group is those that are getting match easily with my dreams, third group is those that actually have deep art and feel behind them to touch my soul. I almost listen to 12 tracks and I think I should go back home, there are a lot of cleaning responsibilities left for me in my apartment that I should take care of them and there is no time for doing them until next weekend. I think other people have same feel most of them prepare to leave. Now I can call today as weekend and it was actually healthy one.
