Hmmm... $200 per hour? I don't think so! :-)

How does Mike Jones look like?
Gayle, the wife of Ted said lately in an interview about the relationship she had with her husband:God met me, spoke to me, and helped me as I sought Him. I learned to lean on Him and He so satisfied me that I felt increasingly free to love my husband and to participate with him in ministry and the life and calling God has given to us. I believe God delights in this type of relationship.
Yowza! No wonder Ted had to seek the pleasures of a male hooker from Denver! But wait a minute: This Mike Jones is 49? How does he look like when he is costing a whooping $200 per hour???
New Year Card
Trough the photo service of good old Albert Heijn I am trying to arrange cards to wish our friends and family a happy New Year. I am using this picture of Eddie and Me at Disney World, Magical Kingdom. I am anxious to see what they can make out of it....
Budget Blues
Explosive growth is fine, but the downside is that preparing the budget for the coming year is getting more and more work. The company now consists of about 10 entities and the operations and cost structure has become quite complex. I am crunching numbers for days now and try to keep the focus in the plan.
The Heavenly Life
We were at the Concertgebouw on invitation of Gerard to listen to the Concertgebouworkest conducted by Bernard Haitink. The program consisted of Weber, songs of Strauss and Symphony number IV of Mahler. This is one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed. especially the last movement a song for soprano, and takes its text from the poem Das himmlische Leben (The Heavenly Life) is outstanding. Luckily the performance was outstanding as well.Blue Food
Today Ingo celebrated his birthday. He did not mentioned how many birthdays he already celebrated... we had dinner with Noelle and Eddie at restaurant Blauw aan de wal (Blue on the Quay - a reference of course to the Red light district which is surrounding this restaurant).We were happy to notice that the food was not blue... :-)
I thought it was kind of pointless....
From the Washington Post:
"Teen Web sensation MySpace became so big so fast, News Corp. spent $580 million last year to buy it. But now Jackie Birnbaum and her fellow English classmates at Falls Church High School say they're over MySpace. "I think it's definitely going down -- a lot of my friends have deleted their MySpaces and are more into Facebook now," said Birnbaum."

New websites that are hip are: snapvine (a voice message social network), PLyrics (collection of punk lyrics) and PicGames. (java games for blogs or my space pages)
Funny thing is that most of this new websites are tools for MySpace so I guess they will go down rapidly as well...
Nijenrode fixed
OK, it is not ready yet, but I made some progress with this merged picture of Noelle and I, which are actually two pictures, one of Noelle, taken by me and (I guessed it) One of me taken by Noelle.
As Time Goes By
As Time Goes By with Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer is our favorite time to go to sleep comedy. It is funny and gently and because a lot of the conversations take place in their bed, very suitable to watch in bed. So one can say it is more a bedcom then an sitcom. Line of Beauty
I just received from my friends at TLAVideo the DVD of The line of beauty. This is the movie adapted from one of my favorite novels of Alan Hollinghurst. He actually won the Booker prize with this one. Hopefully we will have time this Sunday to watch it.
Danny Hoeksema from Bovenkarspel
In De Volkskrant Magazine of this week, the 13 year old Danny Hoeksema from the Northern town of Bovenkarspel say that his upbringing is ok. His parents knew from the start that Danny was gay and encouraged him to come out when the time was there. In the typical "Just act normal" and direct way of Dutch people from the north of Holland, Danny's story is really endearing.
Against Nature?
National History Museum at the University of Oslo has just opened a first-ever museum exhibition dedicated to gay animals. “Against Nature?” does not tell zoologists anything new. Homosexuality has been recorded in some 1,500 species so far, and been well documented in about a third of these cases; it has been known since the time of Aristotle, who thought he witnessed two male hyenas having sex with one another. Scientists have often turned a blind eye on animal homosexuality. In one study are where over 95 % of all sexual activity was between males, the researcher noted it as “sparring”, a form of ritual combat... :-)
Kieskompas
Because i was not happy at all with the results of Stemwijzer in giving me an advise for the general elections in November, I tried a new website, kieskompas which promises a better result. I a have to say that I am more happy with this wesbite and the result indeed.I now have to vote for the CDA (which I will certainly NOT do of course , but VVD is on number 2. Best however is that they also give you an advise on the best coalition with would suit your believes and opinions and in my case that would be VVD/PvdA, which is spot on.
Old shoes
Thijs sent me this link of a website that offers old (used and new) Nike shoes. Some cost more then $8500...I had to think immediately of my first pair of Nikes back in the 1970´s. The Nike court shoes.
I had them just as the picture above, only then with a red swoosh. The teared in the back and the tongue and real foam in them. Since then I am hooked to sneakers. :-)
Oops... :-(
With stemwijzer (vote adviser) I did a little test to find out which party has the same opinion about important issues as I do. Oops! I got the advise to vote for very right wing parties....Guess I will vote VVD (liberals) anyway...
Interesting to see at stemwijzer that 90% of the dutch population is in favor of euthanasia, 50% is for legalizing soft drugs, a majority wants statutory rights for animals and wants to abolish double nationalities.
AllofMp3 is dead, Long live alltunes!
Lot of news about allofmp3 lately. Nobody mentioned that the place is now called www.alltunes.com and with this pro gramme you can download the whole allofmps catalogue. And you can still pay with VISA or Mastercard.
