Days without meat

Sinds today I started 40 days eating without meat. The idea came from a women, I think, who started a group on facebook. She says that the global warming goes so fast because of the animals for meat. The production to produce meat takes to much water and other stuff. So she thaught  maybe I can support people for being a vegetarian for 40 days. That group went quiet a succes. There are 12617 people who enjoyed the group. Off course you don't know of all these people actually join us. The idea is fantastic but a little bit surrealistic. 40 days is nothing if you know that all these people after 40 days again start to eat meat, hopely some people stay vegetarian. I, for myself, start eating meating again, maybe less than nowadays.

SO EVERYBODY.... EAT NO MEAT!

Touching voice

Jònsi is the singer of Sigur Ros who has a really joifull voice. I really get in peace if I listen to their/his songs. Some music just touch your soul. This is that type of music.
Past year I went to Pukkelpop and it was the second night when I was really tired so I went to my tent when I heard him singing and I really wanted to see him.  I turned back where I layed myself on the ground and enjoyed the music. I really needed that music at that moment, after I felt really nice.
I hope I can see them again at some festival because I have a lot of respect for this guy.
Jònsi went solo after a trie out that went well. He stayed singin with Sigur Ros. In my opinion I find the solo carriere better than when they sing as a group. His songs are more my type.

AIKIDO

I was thinking about something I could write on my blog and while I was looking for movies and all kind of stuff I didn't find anything I was interested to. So I thought maybe I can write something about myself and decided to write something about the sport I practise. My sport is a self defence sport were you learn how to defence yourself. We learn 17 basis techniques 'we call it Kotegaeshi' were you can do several things with. Aikido is a Japanese sport with a philosophy and religious beliefs in it. 
This is my 4th year of practise  aikido. I was asked with my sister to go to London for an international contest but unfortunately we are in vacation.


Here is an example of aikido:

Lost

Lost is a fantastic serie where you really get addicted to, already after the first episode.
After a plane crash on a mysterious tropical island the survivors  live through different adventures, the serie works with flashbacks en flash forwards. You don't get all the answers like that, you have to look to the details if you want to understand the whole storie!
But it's not just a cliche serie.
I saw the first 5 seasons and it stays interesting and exciting. There are 2 more seasons to come and I really look forward to see them.
I saw all the 5 seasons in english without any dutch subtitles, sweat isn't it? :)

Glee cast break Elvis Presly UK chart record

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12266546

Glee is a musical comedy-drama. In my opinion it's a very funny and musically speaking program.
In my point of view the results aren't so impressive as they say. I think the number proposes less than they say because in the past there were no computers, no gsm's and sophisticated tv's like we have nowadays.  So my conviction ; you can't compare it with today.
But of course it's spectacular that they've so much success with their music and that they have won prizes and three top 10s and six top 20 under their belt.  Anyway, congratulations !!!

Slumdog Millionaire

This movie is really fantastic. For me it matches with the real life off a street child , because it's all so real in the movie. Here this story has a good end, that's probably the biggest difference with real life cases . 
I have seen this film for our movie project . Because there were no dutch subtitles available we had to see the movie with english subtitles and surprisingly everything went well, I understood almost everything.  This was  a challenge for me, and went well. 
Here you have a summary of the movie:
