I had to wait a couple of weeks - but it was very worthwhile: My new bike has arrived!
The brand new Kawasaki Z1000. I have chosen the maroon brown with snake skin buddy - hence the name of my bike "SNAKE". And make that a viper or other ultra agile and fast snake - because that's what this bike is all about - wow :-)
I stumble upon this all-star session--including producer Quincy Jones, conductor Torrie Zito, and sound engineer Phil Ramone--Nana Mouskouri's 1962 US debut album: Nana in New York.
In phrasing and intonation, Mouskouri shows the influence of her jazz models Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday, yet her Greek accent, as well as her classical and opera vocal training, make for an utterly distinctive approach. It is really a gem!
(according to amazon Nana is "is the biggest-selling female artist of all time (...)" Never would suspect that would you?)
The day that even in the capital of the USA it is legal for gay's to marry we can hail this day as a milestone for equal rights and a symbolic victory.as same-sex marriage became legal in the nation’s capital.
Washington is now the sixth place in the nation where same-sex marriages can take
place. Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont also issue
marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Court officials explained that the Marriage Bureau changed its license applications in
preparation for the new licenses. They now ask for the name of each “spouse” rather than
the “bride” and “groom.” Officials who perform the weddings read: “I now pronounce
you legally married” instead of “I now pronounce you man and wife.”
This new Israeli movie "Eyes Wide Open" is about a gay romantic affair in the ultra orthodox jewish community. I wonder when I will be able to see it in Amsterdam.
Sverige är landet där bilarna testas. Den tomhet och kallt klimat är perfekta förhållanden. exempel det här spionfotografen hittade Audi A7 när den vintertestades i Norrland.
Sjukt bra: Hjälten Dolph Lundgren tar till alla medel han kan komma på i jakten på hotet mot Melodifestivalen. Med Lisbeth Sallander och Michael Blomquist. Var ha Dolph köpt sina kläder?!
At 404 inhabitants per square kilometer, the Netherlands is one of the most densely populated nations in the world. The country’s population density, over 23 times the global average, is a factor in the national discussion on immigration, arming proponents of stricter rules with the slogan “Nederland is vol” (“The Netherlands is full”). While that sounds conversation-stoppingly irrefutable, the premise of that particular political slogan is easily proved wrong – with these maps made by Rem Koolhaasmad. The top map shows how full the Netherlands would be if its 15 million-strong population would be concentrated in the density of Los Angeles. Repeating that experiment with the population density of LA, the second map shows how all of the Netherlands’ inhabitants would live cheek-by-jowl in an area no larger than 600 km2, which would occupy no more than 1.44% of the total territory of the Netherlands – concentrated in the south of the country’s Limburg panhandle. The third map unwraps that same area to a strip along the 345 km-long (214 mile) Belgian-Dutch border, which would be no wider than 1.75 km (1.08 mile)...
I guess the Netherlands is really empty!
I don't know about you: but I don't like buzz in my gmail setup. Most of my friends are not using buzz - and if so it is a twitterfeed - so it doesn't add anything. So I removed buzz. What's next? Wave?
I finally had a chance to try out my new bike yesterday on the motorbeurs. I bought it straight from a picture (O, yes and from this video) - but hadn't had a chance to actually sit on it. Now I have - and I cannot wait to ride it.
Remember that I had some trouble with my bike lately? Well I bought a new Z1000 and traded in my Milk... Today I went to the dealer because the battery was flat and the headlight was broken - their advise: just leave it here! So that was the end of the relationship me and Milk had. It was very nice the last two years, but sorry Milk: I have to move on... I only wished I could have taken it for a proper goodbye spin..
Now that I am back on youtube - I thought it would be nice to share this amazing video of Stargate Studios about the usage of "green screens' in movies nowadays. If you watch this you will never trust a movie anymore (if you did that anyway...)
Because of my birthday No+Go surprised me with a great Demeyere smoking cooking set. It will open all kinds of new cooking possibilities and I cannot wait to try it out and start smoking!
After hundreds of mails in order to get my youtube account back after Google suspended it without any reason or explanation - today suddenly my Youtube account is up and running again: including all my uploaded video's etc. What happened? I don't know - but I am happy as a pig in mud :-))
I already gave Colin Firth the best chance for Best Actor at the Oscars this year for his role in A Single Man. The whole picture is beautiful and a powerful and very moving translation of Christopher Isherwoods book. I have to admit that Nicholas Hoult as the young "angel-like" student Kenny is mesmerizing as well. This is that kind of Movie that you absolutely need to see a couple of times more.
PS: I am happy that Tom Ford is not single but living happy with Richard Buckley for years now.
A nice article i the New Yorker about gospel singer Tonéx. His eccentric style and vertiginous high notes helped make him one of the most acclaimed praise singers of the past decade, and, for a time, one of the most successful. He had a certain hip-hop swagger and the status of a sex symbol - until he came out about his sexual orientation: yep, he's gay...
No nobody wants to know him anymore - I am not surprised. Why bother Anthony in the first place? Just continue to make music and forget your Pentecostal "friends"!
