My Music Genre...

 Dear Blog...

I'm not a 'real' metal fan - not into hard core - I kind of like Rock yes - but I dont' even know what genre Rammstein or Coldplay is.. or any of that.. but still..

It looks like my music genre consist of a couple of  important pieces...

1.. it needs a cool drum rythm.. (oh yes please!) Safri duo much? OK Go (Upside down and inside out)

2. A killer bass...!! (the second most important instrument) Rammstein!! White stripes - 7nationarmy! Daft punk (around the world)

3. An electric guitar.. (wind of change - scorpions // the best is yet to come..) 

4.  A keyboard as in pieces from the 90's of Rammstein off course... (Liquido - Narcotic) (all 90's was mostly keyboard anyway. (Alice deejay much?) Gala (freed from desire)? YES.

5. A goofy or over the top videoclip! (SEE Poison by Alice Cooper - cracks me up every time!)

6. VOCALS? Yes sometimes. Only when it's good..

7. Everything just returns eventually... Look at 2020 - sometimes I thought I was somewhere in the 80's that time! Thank you 'The wknd - blinding lights (just epic) - or Dua Lipa (physical) ... and so on...

8. Organs? No - maybe - I dunno.. YES are you kidding? Army of Lovers CRUCIFIED... (Brilliant!)

and.. last but not least... it has to go LOOOOUUUUUDDDD!!!!

If I can still hear myself think - it's not that good.

AMEN.

A new PSALM found on the YoutubeBible:

"You spend your childhood wanting to grow up, and you spend your adulthood wishing you were a child again"

In the end.. I also enjoy Enya and Moya from time to time.. and some classical pieces too :) (then I need a lot of classical instrument thankyouverymuch!)

One of the coolest things to do.. clicking on Youtube - I recommend to all..

Start with one vid and see what the next one brings! This sure is quite adventurous!

PS: did you know.. i'm compiling a list of music to play at my wedding in 2025!! :) I'm still working on it.. (working since last year) Everytime I hear something neat on radio NOSTALGIE.. I write it down or try to memorize it and put it on the weddinglist :D.. I allready have some nice ones!! :) I'm going out with a bang... thats for sure!!

Memes, memes lovable memes... :D

 There you go... 

Eum... drinking and eating? Work? Sleeping? 

hmm.. someone with some good taste!

The force is strong with this one... 

not the most expensive tickets..

ohnono.. my colleague from across the hall likes Rammstein too :D

Just to pronounce the words correctly while singing..

Cos the world needs some laughter nowadays!

Lets think about that time in 2019 when Rammstein decided to do a wee tour.

 Dear blog..

That day.. 10/07/2019 will forever be in my heart..

cos.. we MANAGED to get freaking tickets to see this show in Brussels..

It was just litterary ONE of the best days in my life EVER.

Being a fan since the early 2000's.. 'm so glad and happy to ever be a part of this crazy madness that calles itself RAMMSTEIN.. I did see them in 2010 on Rock Werchter.. but nothing compares to this epic performance at the King Badouin Stadium Brussels. 

I still owe Nico one :) for getting tickets.. I think the ticket sale just sold out after half an hour! So.. soo .. (still happy) :)

Since Mutter - i have collected not every cd yet.. :) but I have much love for : Mutter, Reise, reise, Rosenrot and the new album from 2019 (this is actually one of the best ones..!) 'Rammstein'.

And you know.. we paid a lot for the tickets (100 euro's per person) and we sat at the very last row of the stadium.

This must be sort of the distance we sat to the podium..

You can even find the whole freakking thing on YOUTUBE!! :)

LONG LIVE THE INTERNET!

You know when you're on that side of the internet when...

you find gems like these on Youtube.. My channel..

This is (my) funeral material by the way...

Or this..

BRILLIANT..

And if you ever want to hear what 'Sonne' sounds like in ESPANOL? :)

this sounds rather soft! :) But cool to listen too :)

And the best for the last..

My absolut favorite song of like ever..

I just fell in love with the piano version when I saw it at the end of the 'Deutschland' video .. Genius.. 

Can't say much about it.. just.. i'll be learning this as soon as I have my piano!!!! :)

Love.. love :)

LETS PRAY concerts coming back ever.

A modern witchhunt.. anno 2020 - 2021

Hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence

The sound of silence.. (by Simon and Garfunkel 1966)

Garfunkel:  "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."

Sadly these words entered 2020 and 2021.. just 50 years later when they are written by this duo.. And it's more actual then EVER.

A modern witchhunt is on it's way.. it's looking for anyone stepping (even crossing) the line... make one mistake and they are coming after you... watch out! Tracing you every step you make.. questioning every move you make, will it be good? will it be bad? Who knows.. not you that's for sure.. but they!.. they know it all.. More then you even know yourself..

It makes me sad (and angry) that nowadays there is this modern witch hunt going on... Innocent people pay the price.. this change - it's making people crazy.. where is the common sense people? 

Maybe people act like this - cos they are afraid.. should it be? 

OW EM GEE?

We are shaping the world in something I don't like.. Where is the trust? Or how the black eyed peas ask it.. where is the love? It must be hidden somewhere.. somewhere between self preservation and surviving. Who to blame? The blamer? or the blame? Black sheeps are amongst us.. Who will identify them as soon as possible? Go hide yourself, it's dangerous.. protect your own.. (understandibly, but at what cost? children's life are rapidly changing, it's up to the grown ups - to act like it - don't you forget it.

Watch out: the following is a religious christian spoiler quote: 

Wasn't it that famous guy who once said.. "He who is without sin casts the first stone"..

And now excuse me, I have to go listen to Rammstein 'Sonne' this truly soothes my angry, angry soul.

Love (killerwhales and Rammstein at this moment - not humanity)

Dying during corona pandamic... 2.0

 Dear blog...

It is with great sadness I announce the passing of 'Meetje' or great grandma 'Marie - Joseph'...

She was the beloved grandma of my hubbie.. And she will be missed.. My and our concolences to the huge family and friends of*Meetje* 

In the past she played a big role in the upbringing of Mic and his brothers and when he speaks off her it's with great love and admiration what she has done to the 3 brothers.. There always be the memories of the young boys making havoc on Meetjes farm .. (what Mic refers to - the best days of his life)

She leaves a lot of relatives behind.. as much as 11 children and many many nieces and nephews.. 

She got to the blessed age of 93 and died due to health problems and off course corona or covid 19 contributed to her death.

May she rest in peace.. forever .. and thank you.. for all the love you have showed Mic, in times he desperately needed some love.. 

Goodbye great grandma.. farewell. She will be with her husband again aswell as as her son and daughter... 

Dying during a corona pandamic is just as good as crap. No hugs, no comforting oneother.. No real grieving, it more or less feels like collecting the dust and sweeping it under the rug.. then go further.. It's sad to say we can not pay or last respect to her, touch her, or go see her.. The mass in church will be livestreamed and only 15 persons are allowed to come. What is this bullcrap anyway? Damn.. sorry Meetje, it's not something any of us wants to do.. but decision above our heads leads up to this.. 

Hopefully we'll be getting the hang of this 'corona and human thing' cos this is bound to happen eventually.. some sort of co - excisting together.. (friends with benefits?) nono.. more like friends with constrictions.. YUK. It's just that hatefull. Will be paying my respect to a candle I guess.. 

2021rap and looks like we are still not finding the exit out of this mess.. (off course i'm talking about the construction of our house, that doesn't seem to end - or will it be ending with a bitter pil? Who will say...?? )

Will you send us some positive waves in the mean time? We love to have some..

hope my grandma is'nt passing soon.. I haven't seen her in 15 years.. and finally I was planning to see her this year, but then corona hitted the earth and it was like: *wait for another year bitch* 

Goodbye Marie - Joseph.. may you find peace and love..

PS: Sorry.. a wee bit nostalgic this evening.. 

Does only extraordinary people *make* extraordinary children?

 Does it huh?

I came up with this question not to be a question at first but maybe more as a fact? I'm not sure... 

But still.. does only extraordinary people make extraordinary children? Or to rephrase.. Does passionate people make passionate children? Or.. does people who know what they want make children who know what they want?? 

I would like to think so.. reflecting on my own situation I could say i'm creating with my so called ordinary life (not to be negative about it, just a fact) i will create ordinary children... And I desperatly want to avoid such a thing... I would love to have ambitious children with a found passion and with a clear role/mind for life.. But reflecting on just my and my hubbie I am sometimes afraid this wil not work eventually... We both are quite negative about our jobs, don't have any hobbies .. and i'm sooo afraid to be getting in a slur .. (not this year though.. 2020 was all about corona and renovations.) and in my mind there is this clear voice i need to give my kids ALL the chances they can have (cos we are no real extraordinary people - wow hold on... we are quite fantastical but.. are we real contributors to this world? No) cos I didn't get any of those chances when I was younger.. In the contrary.. I still have a low self esteem about myself and my life.. and now after 30 ish years it's going better with me and myself.

I'm likely to believe that moving elsewhere (or even to another country) will decrease more chances for my children.. Bringing them up upbroad brightens their horizons and make them multicultural.. not only when they are submerged in another language, but just another culturel upbringin then the dutch one.. cos quite frankly, i don't like to be a Belgian. Maybe cos i'm from a mixed background (part Belgian and part Tunesian) I believe the upbringing of my hubbie was far more better then my own, cos he was raised in different parts of the world (Malaysia, Suriname...) and he always could talk passionate about those times living in other parts of the world.. 

Maybe we have to break those chains.. those vicious circle that i believe i'm sometimes in.. I did not have ambitions parents for sure.. No.. that was a whole lot different! My mother only thought about 'survival', but still she was creating chances for her kids.. and that was getting me and my brother a degree at a good school, what eventeally happend with al her 'can'.. but she eleminated herself through the proces and years. And like always 'mother knows best'.. she guided me (sometimes forced) me in directions I dind't like to be, but still I would follow.

And not to mention, children absolutely take their chances and ARE privileged and succesfully for sure, when parents are succesfully.. Then I like to think at example like actors and musicians (whose kids follow in their footsteps and/or even succesful and ambitious politicians who pass around that same ambition to their kids) 

So.. I'm pretty sure my kids must learn to play an instrument, and they need to have a lot of experience with sports.. maybe they will find their passion a lot quicker then us.. And when it comes to education/School/interest I will not be 'a mother that knows best' and would love to have children that themselves know whats best for themselves.

In the end my kids are already extraordinary cos they have something my hubbie and me didn't have.. a real loving home with chances to be whatever they want to be en whatever they want to do.
