Mijn bureau

Volgende week is mij laatste week bij 'het bedrijf'.

Ik deze foto genomen om mijn tijd daar te herineren. Hopelijk is deze
baan mijn laatste 'desk job'

Possibly failing

On the eve of my test for aspects of GB I am sitting here is my
bedroom wondering if i'm actually going to pass the test tomorrow?

I am getting more and more fed up with the HRO. It seems as though I
don't actually have to prove that I know anything; I just have to be
able to do assignments and add them to a portfolio at the end of the
year. This is my biggest personal fault. I can study for a test. And I
can write my way out of any situation. It's just the administrative
bullshit that I'm bad at. Oh well, genoeg zijgen!

Just a thought

To all of those out there stockpiling Tamiflu, I suggest you read Edgar Allen Poe's "Masque of the Red Death."

And most importantly, stop umnecissarily buying medication that should be reserved for those who are actually sick.

That was just a thought.
Goodday :)

I'm so tired of the media whores

And when I say that, I'm not talking about Paris Hilton and company
but rather the media as a whole.

In the past few days, and especially after today's events at the
Queen's Day Parade, all we can do is sit back and listen to the
newsman tell us how bleek and miserable the world really is.

But in reality, nothing is that bad. Even though very few people have
died, I have to be subject to the news experts that want to tell me
about how this virus could mutate and end all humanity as we know it.

After I see the terrible things that people can do to each other, I
sometimes think, "good riddens."

Choosing art for the livingroom

One of my projects last weekend was to go to the ikea and buy three
frames to start decorating the house. So I am now trying to decide
which photographs I'm going to use in the frames. I have to choose
carefully because each print can cost anywhere from €4-€20.

I like the one above. It's part of my series called "Recreation and
Industry"

Who would have known?

I have never been a believer in the idea that one learns something new everyday, but today I did learn something that makes me feel slightly nostalgic and proud about Missouri, the place from which I was spawned.

I learned just today, during a lackluster surf on Facebook that the Missouri Clean Energy Initiative passed overwhelmingly with 66% last November. Needless to say, I am pleasantly pleased and a bit surprised.

I was ashamed only a few months ago when while watching the film Jesus Camp on local television. I saw that many extremist Christian right wingers actually teach their children that global warming is somehow not real; that it is something made up by the leftist atheists who want to destroy the very foundation that America was built on.

Watching the movie gave me the impression that all of my presumptions about my birth state were true. That many people refused to change and would rather cling to their own obstinacy then rethink what they hold to be true. When I stumble upon these little gems of information, I begin to realize that things are not always what they seem, and that I am sometimes guilty of assuming that everyone is the label they own.

I am, however, most of the time right.
