Canadian

I heard this song in the morning from the Canadian band Walking off the Earth. It's a lot better than the original.

Happy New Year 2012

Everyone best wishes for 2012.

Be positive in everything you do. That is the way you deal with setbacks which will be.

But learn from what happened in the last century


I watched Cultura24 and saw Nneka with Soul is heavy. Astonishing!

Tunisia-Egypt

After 30 years of dictatorship in those countries finally the people rejected the dictator.

Suppression doesn't work on the long run my old friend told me, people will always deny it and find a way out of it. After the party work has to be done.

If we were democracy then we should take Algeria, Maroc and Iran too.
That's what we gonna do ...

sound bites

All the turmoil in North Africa, what is it good for? Soundbite, it has a melody. Tell me what is it good for?

I always thought it was the goodlife in North Africa. But why did all the people from there come to Europe in the sixties, seventies and eighties?
We had of course, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, Ike & Tina Turner, the Ramones, or on way to the disco era.



Of course they came here for the music. We all go where the music is.
We all come to churches where the music is. We come to the popconcerts where the music is.
So now we have to go to North Africa where the music is. But who cancelled our flights to where the music is?
Aren't we allowed by our own Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hear the sound of music in the streets of Tunis and Cairo?

You really should watch this Antwerp flash mob video..... we only need music to be happy.
But it's a shame that a company is behind it. It's not original anymore.

If I have this thought and let it apply on the situation in Egypt, then it isn't really the voice of the people but the voice of the movement behind it. Nevertheless such huge organized protests must have organisers. Hopefully the organisers do what is in the interest of the people of Egypt.

7 trillion

All the lonely people.

sleep

Tonight I go to bed early. I long for a long night.

fairy tales

Sometimes I got the feeling I´m living in another dimension, in a parallel world. For example when I walk through the city to buy another book I feel euphoric. In the bookstore I got time and feel relaxed to find the book which I didn´t find. (a present for E.) It´s no problem I also wanted to read a book (the prey) about the downfall of ABNAMRO bank. I was very angry about these stupidities of some people in top levels of the predator (several banks) as well as prey. Those people believed in fairy tales. How to get rich in an instance.

Laura Jansen is a fairy tale too... I thought she was British... but is authentic Dutch.



And Urban Dance Squad could have been the older brother of Rage Against The Machine.

lot

My day was okay. I had a lot of work to do.
At 8.30 am I was at the office. We had a rush-hour because of the accounting figures we had to deliver. And as always is the fact in the late hours something has to be adjusted.
After that I could return to my normal work and made some progress with that.
I made some calls with colleagues, read and wrote a few emails to the Works Council. C'est inderdit pour moi But the work was interesting.
Next Monday we have a meeting with the WC. We'll shake things up hopefully.

music

It is said that music makes people happy. Listening to music is a good way to get through the dark and gloomy days after New Year's Day. Work is also a help to get through the day.



Kill Bill II Bang bang

Your Mamma Won't Like Me

The title is exactly what it says. I found it in the possessions of the woman my father had a relation with after my dad and mother broke up. I was 13 or 14 years old when I found it and the song wasn´t quite as bad as the genre supposed to be.

Googling I found this video on YouTube. You like it or you do not.
