LONDON STORY 2.0
Brussels, 12/05/2010 Dear troopers, readers and lovers of sweet stories. For every story there is a beginning and an end.

Ketchup & Poetry
Botanique (Brussels), 12/05/2010 Damn. How can I introduce this man in the best way he deserves? “Behold, and look upon the face of god.”… might be a little too much, I guess. Of course GIL SCOTT-HERON is not the réal god, and I doubt he even considers himself that, but the man also known as ‘the […]

Meth makes the blood clot

Me, curious by […]
