All that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone
And another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united?
Healthy or insane?

To be yourself is all that you can do.

 

 

 

Genius vs. genius

We crossed the line
Who pushed who over?
It doesn’t matter to you
It matters to me
We’re cut adrift
We’re still floating
I’m only hanging on
To watch you go down
My love

I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn’t what you wanted

Oh…love…
You say in love there are no rules
Oh…love…
Sweetheart,
You’re so cruel

Desparation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie

Her skin is pale like God’s only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug

You don’t know if it’s fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher
Head in heaven, fingers in the mire

Her heart is racing, you can’t keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot

Oh…love… You say in love there are no rules
Oh…love…
Sweetheart,
You’re so cruel

To gossip or not to gossip

Keep this philosophy in mind the next time you either hear some gossip, or are about to repeat a rumour.

In ancient Greece (469 – 399 BC) Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, ‘Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?’

‘Wait a moment,’ Socrates replied. ‘Before you tell me I’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the Triple Filter Test.’

‘Triple filter?’ replied the acquaintance!

‘That’s right,’ Socrates continued. ‘Before you talk to me about my student let’s take a moment to filter what you’re going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?’

‘No,’ the man said, ‘actually I just heard about it and…’

‘All right,’ said Socrates. ‘So you don’t really know if it’s true or not.’

‘Now let’s try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?

‘No, on the contrary…’

‘So,’ Socrates continued, ‘you want to tell me something bad about him, even though you’re not certain it’s true?’

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued. ‘You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter – the filter of Usefulness.’ Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?’

‘No, not really.’

‘Well,’ concluded Socrates, ‘if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?’

The man was defeated and ashamed. This is the reason Socrates was such a brilliant philosopher and held in such high esteem.

It also explains why he never found out that Plato was having an affair his wife.

I feel better!

 

“Life sometimes seems to get the best of you
Like everything just brings you down
Just when you think
There’s nothing you can do
A friendly face will bring you around

And you’ll feel better
You’ll feel better
You’ll feel better
Better
Better than before
You’ll feel better
Much better
You won’t be down anymore”

Love dagger

Your love dagger has pierced a hole
inside my chest where love should grow

But your heart will bleed more than mine
Your love dagger will prove the crime

When the volcano is about to blow
your wave of tears will start to flow

You’ll reach out and call my name
Your love dagger will go up in flames

Now you’re just somebody that I used to know

Gotye is back!! (and he gave me goosebumps with this song) Awesome!










Now and then I think of when we were together
 Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
 Told myself that you were right for me
 But felt so lonely in your company
 But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
 Like resignation to the end
 Always the end
 So when we found that we could not make sense
 Well you said that we would still be friends
 But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
 Make out like it never happened
 And that we were nothing
 And I don't even need your love
 But you treat me like a stranger
 And that feels so rough
 You didn't have to stoop so low
 Have your friends collect your records
 And then change your number
 I guess that I don't need that though
 Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
 But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
 And I don't wanna live that way
 Reading into every word you say
 You said that you could let it go
 And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...

I used to know
That I used to know

Somebody...

Dutch Clown Day

Today is the annual Dutch ‘Clown Day’, so I’m going to share a very appropriate song to celebrate this day:

I AM

Seeing this commercial makes me want to buy a Nikon.

Fantastic choice in music!

 

Radical Face -- Welcome home, son

More than a lot

We all know the song, but do we know the lyrics?

Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it’s one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don’t care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it’s too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We’re one, but we’re not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Did I ask too much?
More than a lot
You gave me nothing,
Now it’s all I got
We’re one
But we’re not the same
See we hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can’t keep holding on to what you got
When all you’ve got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters, brothers
One life
But we’re not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other.

Let’s go on a trip!

Last weekend we bought mountainbikes, so it’s time to explore the area around this little town we live in!
(click on the photo’s for bigger versions)

The bikes.
female version (left) vs. male version (right)

What happens when you spot a dark shape next to the road? BRAKE!!!
Privet Hawk Moth (Sphinx ligustri)

The next find was not so nice: dead badger

Of course, if you ride a mountainbike, you don’t stay on the paved roads…
And that’s when you see the really nice things; there’s something on the road up ahead!

Fox pups!! (or fox kits) (Vulpes vulpes)

(photo’s made through binoculars, hence crappy quality)

Very curious fox kits!

Itchy fox kit…

Ah, we are noticed. The last photo before they disappear. (try to spot the fox..)

The world is my vegetable garden: wild mint growing next to the road

And, coincidentally, wild mint tastes really good with the falafel which was on the menu that evening :)

Let’s go back to the seventies!

Happiness

Simply beautiful..

What you gonna do?
What you gonna do with people like that?
What you gonna say
What you gonna say that will make them change their ways

Who you gonna find
Who you gonna find to listen anyway
Where you gonna go,
Where you gonna go to try and get it straight
I once found the recipe, for what to do to cure my needs
I packed some things just what I need
Only bare necessities
Asked Mrs Walsh to feed my cat
Call landlord Tate to tell him that
I’m going home where my people live
I Need a little bit of happiness, yeah

Who’s it gonna be
Who’s it gonna be who’ll tell it like it is
Who you gonna blame
Who you gonna blame for all our differences
Where’s it gonna end
Where’s it gonna end if anywhere at all
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna go if you can’t take it all?

Never be ashamed to feign weakness

 

A wise Chinese master has this to say about the strategies of the warriors of light:

 

‘Convince your enemy that he will gain very little by attacking you; this will diminish his enthusiasm.’

‘Do not be ashamed to make a temporary withdrawal from the field if you see that your enemy is stronger than you; it is not winning or losing a single battle that matters.’

‘Even if you are very strong, never be ashamed to feign weakness; this will make your enemy act imprudently and attack too soon.’

‘Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.

‘To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.

‘Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

‘You have to believe in yourself. ‘

Be prepared..

Today on the radio: the government telling people to make a survival package so they are prepared in case a disaster happens and you will be left without water and electricity.

What should be in this package according to this advertisement?

  • water
  • batteries
  • radio
  • candles
  • cheese

I guess it’s typical Dutch to put cheese in a survival package… how can we survive without cheese!?!

So pick yourself up and dust yourself down

A song can say it all:

I’ve been watchin for some time
Can’t believe the lies you spread
See I can see the world
It just lumbers in my head

So pick yourself up and dust yourself down
Pick yourself up and dust yourself down

Into your mind
Read the signs

Reload
Pick yourself up and dust yourself down

I’ve been lookin for some time
I knew that I had to be much more

So pick yourself up and dust yourself down
Pick yourself up and dust yourself down

Into your mind
Read the signs

Reload
Pick yourself up and dust yourself down

37 Frames : Great Tohoku Earthquake & Tsunami 2011 Japan

Let me start from our start, create an image of a journey with a purpose. To remind the world that a headline one day replaced with another the next, is still a life for someone. That the world will not forget and is thinking of Japan and in turn is thanked and awareness created.

Don’t just look at the photo’s… read the story, feel the impact.
