They do it in every position
It's still taking me some adjusting to see and hear weirdly behaving people in the streets of Hel.
One day while in the tram, I saw a girl outside leaning heavily forward, carrying a cello on her back and covering her ears with her hands wrapped in thick gloves.
Was she showing her existential anxiety like in Munch's painting 'Scream'?
'Stop the noise, I want to get out of this world.'
It took me a moment to realize she was only talking on her cell, covering her other ear to hear better.
Then there are all the people filling the beautiful, solitary, potentially silent moments walking on the shore and in the parks - by talking on the phone. And they do it while riding their bikes. And there's the guy walking around in circles in front of my window, holding a ciggie in one hand and a cell in the other.
I'm only killing the sounds of nature with my iPod headphones.

I’m Praying You Can Be of Help!
Do you know, “Avaimia Washingtonin Ymmärtämiseen?”
He/she is the author of a blog in Finland that is causing enormous pain.
He/she trades as, “DC Denizen.”
Sadly, I’m being victimized by the site and I have tried unsuccessfully to have the data removed from it.
I have worked with the Finnish Embassy and they have not been able to help or locate or identify the author.
In 2005, The Washington, DC City Paper did a story on my unfortunate incarceration. Purely a domestic matter that was benign, but a divorce with considerable money was at stake, so the other side went for the jugular.
Following incarceration, the matter went quite the distance and was thrown out of court.
Everyone has moved on.
The challenge here is that this “Blog” keeps appearing no matter how many times I’ve attempted to have it removed.
The blog is standing in the way of my business as prospective clients go online and Google me and see the story.
I’m now on the market for employment and close to offers and this “Blog” continues to haunt and hurt me.
Are you able to point in the direction of the Blog owner or do you have any ability to remove the story.
Your assistance will be warmly appreciated and I will be forever grateful.
Everyone deserves a second chance and I’m simply trying to rebuild my life without the reminders.
Thank you.
