Gotta get me some kiwi



(Uhm... yeah just for the record: I have just seen a football game between New Zealand and Bahrain: never knew those countries play football. 1-0 for the Kiwis. In the meantime I got a whole story told bout The Northern and the Southern Island and how you can sky-jump from an airplane from the one to the other, and all other bunch of intriguing stuff about the Kiwis, the glaciers and sheep-wool weaveing. Came home and had a glass of NZ milk while the Flight of the Conchords was the first band that my Winamp shuffled ... so I thought its a New Zealand night. One more greate thing about it: The black seeds!. Enough, business hours are over)

Facebook

Isn't it annoying and creepy that you can't really delete your Facebook account? You can only deactivate it but as soon as you log in with your old password and username.. you're back in the game with the same profile and the same info. Nothing changes. I guess I should delete all pics and friends in order to disappear from the Facebook archives forever ... if this is possible at all. I mean .... where is the customer's right to stop using Facebook? Or may be they assumed that we'll all hook up to the greatness of social-networking and we'll never be able to get enough of it? Sure just watch me waving goodbye!!!!

Eclipse

By saying the EOTS is coming up with weird-ass videos I meant this stuff. It took me while to decide if I like it or not... but now it's certain: voting positively with both legs and arms. I mean... look at this! Don’t know what's going on with modern music anymore but I like it (:-D). Bedank en tot straks. Lang leef het Rijk!!! Btw, if you are not fervent EOTS fan like myself, I you may not know that this video was dedicated to the longest solar eclipse of the 21st century so far - the one of 22nd July 2009 - that lasted exactly 6 minutes and 39 seconds (check the duration of the video).


Lady Gaga is probably getting a hard-core frustration when watching this video.

The Environment: The lost love



Song of the day! It has been one complete week since I’ve embarked on the long and “forbidden journey” of thesis writing. Around 10 hours per day. Subject: The Environmental Consequences of Tourism Development In Macau, China. And while my heart is breaking at the results from only the desk research and while I read examples both local and global of how much harm have we done only in our leisure time I need a rhythm like this one. In January when I’ll have to finally go and see with my eyes how huge resorts are dumping waste around Macau ... I don’t know what I will need then. The environment ... It is like the love we’ve lost, indeed. And even though, you save water, you recycle, you plant trees, you don’t waste electricity ... in the end of the day some big-ass corporation like the god-damn Venetian here in Macau comes, consolidates the land and bam....20 shuttle buses around town just to promote it, tons of waste dumped guess where, luxury accommodation and casinos operate 24/7. Do you know how much electricity this is? All those flashing signs and stuff? Well, I will tell you all about it in March probably. Of course there is constant sun for at least 6-7 month, there is water everywhere, there's wind all over the place as there are no mountains stopping it, there will be rain for 5-6 months ... but who cares about those god-damn-sources-of-renewable-energy!

I really like what somebody somewhere once said . .. the environment is like the love we’ve lost.. It is and it is the only meaningful thing left to worship. And when you see how beautiful it is across the continents, when you remember the mountains of your home country .... You fall in love immediately and your heart is really breaking while writing a thesis like that one.
(найлонови торбичкииии!!!!!)

P.s. if you've liked the song check The Ghost as well. And basically everyting that James Yuill has done.

The Holy Mountain

One of the trippiest movies I have seen in my life.
