No More Bike

As if the roaring rampaging of combatant superfluous hormones aren't enough to piss me off, some undeserving stealing blob of scum thought it necessary to repropertize my beloved Ronald. No, I am not in a good mood, thank you for noticing!

Enjoy the ride...

Me?! NEVER!

Twat

Tanz mit Laibach

Poor video quality, stupid lyrics, nerve ripping beat, absence of melody in other words just the thing to trick my friends into believing I'm quite happy still.

Quote #14

If this is true, I have only ever loved once.

"Love" is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.

Robert Heinlein [ 1907 - 1988 ]

Palpitations

I do have my doubts about this one. Maybe if you replace 'Optimist' for 'Bad News' and 'Pessimist' for 'Good News', then and only then it might work for me.

Quote #13

Admittedly, a homosexual can be conditioned to react sexually to a woman, or to an old boot for that matter. In fact, both homo - and heterosexual experimental subjects have been conditioned to react sexually to an old boot, and you can save a lot of money that way.

William Burroughs

Nearly

I nearly cycled into a fellow bipedalist this evening. I also nearly bumped into a car. I nearly got in at the annual FK Samba de Janeiro Party. And I nearly threw myself at the feet of a man very likely twice my age. But what a handsome charismatic man. Had I been ten years older I would have thrown myself at his feet naked.

Ear Piercing Shrieks

Meet me in front of Vooruit, coming Saturday at 2pm. Bring a camera and some small change to get us a cup of hot chocolate afterwards.

I'm not an addict

I'm not an addict
It's cool
I feel alive
If you don't have it
You're on the other side

I'm not an addict,
maybe that's a lie.

Your Pickup Line Is

If I were to ask you for sex... would your answer be the same as the answer to this question?

As cunning as a cunning fox.

Monkey Business

I can't always be serious and anyway somone recently pleaded for more monkeys to be made available.

Good News

Some events of the day not necessarily in chronological order:

Hospital A called, blood sample X has tested negative on everything which paradoxically means I'm 100% OK. Or maybe 98% OK, can't test for caries in blood apparently. I'm as yet waiting for result on blood sample Y, but what could go wrong now? I've even felt the upcoming headache melt away.

I've volunteered to help clean up the attic. Yes I volunteered. And on the whole it wasn't such a very tragic experience, especially not since I got a cup of hot chocolate afterwards.

I've mastered 6 sudoku's today.

I now have a Facebook account.

Eva* has finally started to talk to me.

* It is none of you're business who Eva is, you call me crazy already.

The (Black/White) Magic of Love

This is but a meagre attempt at a more serious and lengthier sort of blogpost, not just a quick blurb. I apologise for the possible inconsistency of it.

Love.

When I am in love or unhappy for any other sort of reason, it very seldom strikes me that other people, be they close friends, strangers or anything in between, can be anything but single or in a happy relationship. And whenever the dark mood lifts, it comes as a little shock to me to find other people unhappy.
Looking back on the past year with a clear head and heart, so very much has happened. Friends who had been together for longer than I've know them decided to break up, a couple of which each individual felt tingles for another person have remained a couple (and thank heaven, there are only so many shocks a person can handle), a couple of which the individuals are still in love has split up, Ms One-Night-Stand got herself into a relationship and pretty soon out of it again to lead a happy celibate life, et sic ad infinitum. There are too many examples.

Love.

Another little shock is the realisation that I do not, I repeat not need Love, there is chocolate to be eaten, there are (comic) books to be read, lasagna to be made and most of all there are friends to talk to, to visit, to cherish. What I'm really trying to say is, when need be; love will do. Capital L ow vee ee wouldn't agree with me anyway.

What my friends try to tell me...

"Pain and Suffering is inevitable but Misery is optional."

300

Post three hundredth this year. What can I say?

Blogging; it's what I do.

If you want to hear something less predictable: I have a headache. Don't wake me up early tomorrow, not even with gargantuan amounts of deliciously amaretto perfumed coffee at the ready, I may consider leniency towards bringers of hot hot hot ginger infused black tea.

Power Bird

I don't think they've ever been so far off.

Your Power Bird is a Swan

You are a truly graceful and gorgeous creature. You easily see beauty in yourself and others. Intuitive and in touch, you can often guess what the future will bring. And you're flexible enough to accept the changes that life has in store for you.

What's Your Power Bird?

Tweet tweet tweet

Has it ever struck anyone, that no matter what condition you are in, the sight of people in love only intensifies your mood? Simply deepens it but never alters it.

Quote #12

Possibly the wisest thing this man ever uttered.

A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.

- Oscar Wilde [ 1854-1900 ]

Since you're busy here why not also discover the site where I found the quote.

Keanu Reeves

It's been too long since I've posted some eye candy. By lack of a picture of a really really really handsome man, here's a somewhat better one of Keanu Reeves.

Back on track?

For the first time in years, literally years I am not in love or not reigned by it at any rate. All around me people are falling in love, getting together, enjoying the first few months of a sturdy relationship, breaking up, having serial one-night stands, trying to forget an ex. And none of it has anything to do with me. Sure I'm a miserable blob of self pity when I'm on my own, but that's just me. Among friends I feel the ancient contentment glow in my heart and best of all, specified man hate my most distinctive feature is blooming. My life feels like my life again.

Clean your bathroom - II

Clean your bathroom - I

And forevermore 9 november shall be known as Clean-Your-Bathroom-day. Or maybe not. It's just that we've finally agreed on a cleaning schedule for the house, for some odd reason I volunteered to clean the bathroom. Luckily there are tips to be found on-line: here, here and here.

I'm not in love

There's this song. I think George Michael sings it. "I'm not in love... Oh no ho"

Well, I'm not in love.

But I wish I was, it would give me a reason for being angry and miserable. It would be at the very least a hint of explanation for the constant shifts in my mood.
