Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

This is not chess
Evil tempts us with our weakness, with our desire for comfort, being comfortable, cautious, rational, civilised. What kind of civilisation are we fighting for, if we allow war crimes and genocide again? What kind of world are we leaving for our children and grandchildren if we only talk of the past and the future while ignoring murder and misery in the present?
This is not chess. This is not a battle between opposite colors, but of opposite values. Freedom, life and love versus tyranny, death and hatred.
It happens now
You’re talking about a major thoroughfare at 3:30 in the afternoon OK.
What is explained to Ben there is,
we would have to go to what’s called a tact alert here
to get this problem solved.
And we’re not going to do that.
Are you listening to me? Or am I talking to the wind here?
You cannot, you, you cannot promise me that you’re not gonna have
a crowd that reaches limits that we cannot control
You cannot promise me that. You’re drawing them in by the dozens now.
The Police Department has the authority to shut these locations down,
and that is exactly what we are doing.
And I apologise to you for having to have all your equipment
moved out of here, but it is over as of now.
There is no compromise.
You got a responsibility to the citizens of this city.
You’re drawing people in from Orange County
and all over the goddamn place.
We’re shutting the location down.
There is no vote.
It happens now.
Tsar Bomba
De krachtigste nucleaire explosie door mensen ooit gemaakt: de tsar bomba. Op 20 oktober 1961 werd 50 megaton TNT tot ontploffing gebracht boven Nova Zembla. Om dat een beetje in perspectief te plaatsen, de atoombom op Hiroshima was 15 kiloton.
Nu zijn de Russische (propaganda) opnames van die tijd eindelijk declassified, en te zien (met Engelse ondertiteling) op Youtube:
hallo scheveningen
Find your way out
Climbing, forever trying
Find your way out of the wild, wild wood
Now there’s no justice
Only yourself that you can trust in
Van buiten zo mooi
Van binnen zo brak, maar van buiten zo mooi
Maar de binnenkant zie je bijna nooit
Nee, de binnenkant zie je bijna nooit
Sleep Faster!
That guy is like I don’t sleep 6hrs a day, I sleep 8. Well sleep faster!
This is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Rules of Success:
- Have goals, purpose, and visions.
- Don’t listen to the naysayers or doubters.
- We have to work our ass off and advertise.
- Don’t have a backup plan. We function better if there is no safety net.
- Never doubt yourselves.
- Everyone fails and losers stay down. To be a winner we have to fail, we have to never be afraid of failing, we have to never stay down, and we have to get up continuously.
- Being relaxed and giving it everything we have is the best way to perform.
- Help out others and give back to the world.
Run Rool, Run
Leuk is anders. Echt heel veel zin in hardlopen heb ik nooit, en het gevecht met mijn conditie is vermoeiend. Maar toch blijf ik het proberen. En soms is er ook nog bewijs van!
‘s Ochtends vroeg langs de boulevard in Scheveningen. Het andere bewijs staat op Runkeeper.

Take all your chances while you can
Never know when they’ll pass you by
Like a sum a mathematician cannot solve
Like me trying my hardest to explain

It’s all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can’t calculate
I need some more of you to take me over
