How to…concer a crappy feeling (point 1)

Mmm, some self-help from overcoming the crappy feeling I had yesterday. I think I post something

1. Learn something unusual, even though you might not need it (yet) for a purpose.

I really like the site http://community.livejournal.com/dailycharacter/ , although it is not updated anymore. They show you a daily Chinese Character. Is the character for outstanding.It is a wonderful way to overcome the limitations of your daily thinking, and daily routine, and gives you a source of development…something humans need (every now and then).(I will try to post some more things later this week…)Edited 28-01-08: I feel slightly crappy again, because Galadarling has so much more tips for concurring a crappy day: here 

Lame Sunday

This is one of these sundays that can be uberboring…So, I am going to post some lame pictures with even lamer text (my own)…enjoy  

Dutch National identity according the ‘world’

During my stay in the UK, I found lots of stereotype images about the Dutch national identity. Shortly, it looks a bit like the picture below:

I have to say that the image of the ‘everything is possible’ idea of the Netherlands is not correct, unfortunately.

However, this week I will post something about this topic. I will look at our ‘cheap’ (miser) image and look at the positive aspects of this (dissapearing) Dutch habits in the “how to…” category. It might be handy to save some money after the expensive December month, and which nation (except for the Scottish, kidding) are known to be the ultimate cheapskates: the Dutch…

Think of the saying in English: going Dutch (being too much of a magpie to pay for your girl’s drinks or meal) or Dutch treat.

So lovely to be Dutch…

2 days before Christmas

Allright, I am not the ultimate Christmas lover, and I found the perfect Xmas poem to share to all the poor reindeer wives who are in the shadows of their famous husbands:

A Letter to Rudolph

Dear Husband, It is time that I must have my say,
I’ve taken your shit day after day.
I’ve kept the home peaceful year after year
Now there is going to be changes, so listen my dear.

So you’re famous, everyone knows your name,
And you’re a specialist by gum, in the transport game,
You think you’re so grand with your important job.
But I’m telling you my dear you’re a worn out old yob

363 days a year,
You sit on your arse drinking scotch, rum and beer,
You claim it is to keep up the shine on your nose
So Santa can see where he bloodywell goes.

One night a year is all that you work,
You and your eight reisty mates – they’re all jerks.
Dasher and Dancer – Speed freaks I say,
The sleigh wouldn’t go that quick any other way.
Prancer and Vixen – Just cheap little tarts,
But they look like angels once Comet starts.

Cupids on some freaked out damned power trip,
And Donner…well, she should just get a damned grip
And Blitzen, I almost don’t need to say,
Is here getting blitzed with you every day.

All of these years at the front of the sled,
Has gone, I’m afraid, to your crusty old head.
You’re a layabout and a drunkard, with a big shiny nose,
And a weakness for elves in black pantyhose.

I’m telling you husband that one Christmas song,
Has made you think that you can do no wrong.
So this year while your out with old Santa’s sled,
I am eloping, my dear, with your friend – Mr. Ed

the pirate header

  Don’t you love the pirate header? Perhaps it would have been better to put Captain Jack Sparrow (aka the lush Johnny Depp) over here, but I love his deep gaze and the bling of the ring… By the way, I kind of feel attracted to the image of adventure a pirate oozes…That reminds me of the Chrismas gift I got from my love: he gave me a gorgeous Lampropeltis triangulum, which is a milk snake….

  

I like snakes… Actually, I found the one my boyfriend had a bit scary in the beginning, but I really like him right now. And now I have my own snake. Ohh, what name should I give him????

 How to write a blog that is more than mediocre? At this point, I have no idea… Pff, I will just try and write down some witty stuff…mediocre or not…
