UB boy finds out how life works by setting his brains on pure deduction by Cause & Effect. This leads him to infinite Time & Space and the ever splitting of Atoms & Seconds. He so finds the Sense of it all. Or rather, the nonSense. Getting rid of this knowledge by escaping in Dreams seems to be a [...]
UB boy closes his eyelids and starts travelling through his subconscious past. A beautiful turquoise world opens itself for him. Wow, he’ll stay here forever. What a fine place this Dreamworld is.
UB boy stays at his friend’s. They listen to Siouxsie and the Banshees all night long. And next morning they go underground like the Clash. The Hague is their Dream stage and all its citizens may play a roll in their Happy Noon. So reality can be as good fun as a Dream!
In this dreadful new age of pain and sorrow every Monday another week starts again and again and again. Night or Day, Reality or Dream. UB boy comes to see that there's nothing to dream about at all. What’s left to fill the void? Help..!
His father is back. No school, Easter holiday and UB boy joins a good party. Kicked out of school he enjoys his old schoolmates there. In the snap of a finger the world apparently can flip from Bad to Good.
The Easter holiday is over. UB heard the warm sound of his father's shaver in the house again. Alas, all he hears now are the echoes. His mother dumped his father for the second time. Again he finds himself on the lower scale of the balance. All it does is flipping from Good to Bad.
UB boy sets his brains on deduction again and tries to make sense of it all. Another number on either side of the equation he has to take into account.
In a bold dream UB boy sees the Sun shine at night. Wow, that must be a sign he has to come out of his lazy chair and have a nice haircut.
UB boy’s great-uncle sees UB struggle. He worked his way up himself. He set his brains on studying and gives some perspectives to his sister’s grandson. Anything better than this heartburn is welcome and UB boy settles for comfortable snobbish blazers. Looking down on the bloody heartburn [...]
UB boy’s mind wanders to good old times again. He must have been a boy that lived with its eyes closed until now. A boy that hardly takes or gives. At a family party he observes his cousins being so close together. Why doing all the complex thinking if all that cares is being happy together. Back [...]
It seems no good to keep on trying to blend in with his new schoolmates. You can’t expect them to feel sorry, they don’t understand. UB boy lets them keep on slumbering and stands up himself. He needs to fight and will meet with his own kind soon. Out of the gloom.
At last UB boy finds a logical answer to life. Since everything = nothing then Life equals Death. Why didn't he see before they're just the same. Now it all makes Sense. A fact UB still trusts and builds on Today.
Now UB boy has the guts and a round-trip around The Hague takes him to the hairdresser. He now has a nice Mohican look. It shocks his mother and people at school don’t know what to say. Yep in 1982 it takes guts. Anyway he now finds peace to entertain his little brothers. A boy that gives & takes.
Although his new school is friendly, his old schoolmates became punk one by one. From behind the window UB boy sees one of them. A nice girl he can't reach from behind the glass. Gosh, he wishes he could escape with her to Berlin. The place for punks to be!
Over the past few years something is strengthening. UB doesn’t know what exactly, but he calls it a quantum. No concrete words to describe it. It is good however.
To be honest, UB boy actually loathes to constantly hear he doesn’t give and care enough. He is working constantly very hard to be a good citizen. All he can comment to that rude accusation is one word: Altruism. And he’ll repeat that word as long as it needs.
We made it all the way to September again! A new home. UB boy now lives with his grandmother. In his new room he smokes a cigarette with his beautiful cousin to celebrate this joyful feat.
UB boy’s method of deduction and having his brains crunch codes take over the poor boy himself. He needs chaos. And he needs to distinguish the boys and girls that see what he sees.
One thing deduction delivers for sure is a guide to how life really works under the hood. It may be disillusioning, it rolls out a neat path however. That path asks UB boy to be honest. To the bone. Only then can he catch a glimpse of the exit of this dreadful era and the nice & warm way that should[...]
UB boy finds a girlfriend with a very sweet look. A punk girl. Catching each others eyes, he instantly knows they will be friends forever. Undeniably a firm base. UB Boy puts his mind to it again and succesfully picks up her language and so bridges the canyon between them.
