While the world is in deep recession and everyone a bit gloomy I wondered: are there any reasons left to be cheerful?
After a quick moment I found at least ten..
1. You only get 1 life - so make the most of it
2. If you are in good health and shape - what's left to worry about
3. If you have the love of your live right next besides you
4. If your job is your hobby
5. If you are surrounded by people who care about you
6. If you can travel and meet other cultures
7. If you have everything to live a comfortable life
8. If you even have some unnecessary stuff too
9. If you do crazy things
10. Oh, yeh and always remember: there's no tno thing like a part II
Nothing lost here. Better today then tomorrow...
The classic Saab 99 is really one of my all time favorite cars. Rumor has it that GM is abandoning Saab after efficiently killing over the last decade. Let's hope for a miracle and that someone will save Saab. I promise if they survive and develop a non-Opel model, I will buy one.
Driving a pontiac used to be pure excitement, now it is pure frustration. So no wonder GM is killing this brand.
As a present I could create my own Nike-iD trainers. I made these Sparqs. Let's hope they look as good as finished shoes...
We had dinner at Lana Pura - Indonesian restaurant. They have this weird tradition to give you an orchid which you are supose to wear behind your ear. Left if you are free, Right when you are engaged. So we all had to wear the flowers on the right side ;-)
I really liked Slumdog Millionaire - which makes clever use of the game show suspense while combing the beauty of India, its people and its music with the cruel reality of a society which still revolves about castes...
Although the graphics of Despereaux are nice and the story of Bolt is rather cliche (Dog runs home with new found friends) Bolt is clearly the better picture: funny, tempo and cunning direction.
The police stopped my scooter and wanted to check the speed: It is still virgin factory original so I was well within the limit.
At bloomsbury auctions New York a nice collection of vintage posters.
We went to Rotterdam by bike. See the dark sky? On our way back we got surprised with hail and the road became ice. I tried to stop the bike - but slipped and came down on highway A4 :-( Some parts of my bike are bend, the handlebar is out of balance. I am all right though :-)) Luckily no car was driving behind or beside me.
