The new Fast 6 movie is everything you want / need from a Fast movie: funny, fast cars, ridiculous plot and... Vin Diesel. I admit: I am a huge fan :-). But wait! The credits roll…and then they stop rolling. You see a Mercedes driving through the streets of Tokyo with Jason Statham behind the wheel and killing Han. Shocking. This is a preview of Fast 7. So does this mean that there is going to be a scene where
Statham and Diesel have a shirtless shaved-head oiled-up
duel? Let's hope so.
He certainly looked great - probably even better with his 1970 Ford GT40 in Gulf Oil racing colors.
When does this summer of 2013 actually starts? In a little while we just might have skipped it and moved from spring straight to autumn...
New track on soundcloud: check it out!
I am a bit sorry for Adam Johnson but his novel "The Orphan Master's Son" has to wait a little bit longer on my To Read List. Today the new Khaled Hosseini "And the Mountains Echoed" was released and frankly I cannot wait to start reading that one first. Luckily I just finished Dan Browns' Inferno.
Never knew that The Game of Thrones was so popular in The Netherlands, today thousands of people were waiting hours in line in the pouring rain to get a glimpse of the special Exhibition which is around the corner at the Posthoorn Church.
No idea when this picture was taken, but clearly the girl behind the wheel couldn't drive otherwise how can you get an accident with no other traffic. Nice picture though...
While we already had the Finnish Lesbian Kiss in the performance of their song "Marry Me" which upset the Turkish, Russian and Georgian countries - during the counting of the votes intermezzo Sweden added its own gay kiss with these two guys. So actually the only kisses on stage were gay...
Robert Langdon is back - in Florence this time. Trying to save the world from a mad man (who is strangely enough dead already on page 1 of the book) who thinks that we have to get rid of 3 billion people in order to survive as a species on earth... The setting is typical Brown as are the cliff hangers at the end of each chapter.
Still one of the greatest attacks ever: The attack on 3 German dams carried out on 16–17 May
1943, today exactly 70 years ago, by Royal Air Force No. 617 Squadron, subsequently known as the
"Dambusters", using a specially developed "bouncing bomb" invented and
developed by Barnes Wallis.
Because of the launch of huurwoningnet.nl by Minister Blok I was at Madurodam, mini Holland, were I never had been before. So I took the chance to visit my Alma Mater, Castle Nyenrode - which is actually a pretty good model (and in a far better state then the original)
After the disappointing "Olympus has fallen" movie comes an other one with EXACTLY the same storyline: a group of terrorists taking over (read: destroying) The White House and a single guys saves the president (and the world) in a DIE HARD way. This new version is simple called "White House Down" - which is arguably a better title. With Roland Emmerich direction and Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx staring the line-up sounds better as well... We have to wait untille the end of June to declare the winner.
Well this years edition of the EuroVision Song Contest isn't the best ever if you listen to the entered songs. Maybe it will be a great show - but in musical terms a bit disappointing. Starting with the shameless copy of Loreens' Euphoria by Cascade (Germany) there are a lot of familiar kind of tunes.
But I managed to make my top 5:
- Only Teardrops - Emmelie de Forest (Denmark) | Catchy tune, great performance
- You - Robin (Sweden) | Solid track, perfectly executed
- Only Loves Survives - Ryan Dolan (Ireland) | Great singer, maybe to general song
- An Me Thimáse - Despina Olympiou (Cyprus) | The best voice
- Straight into Love - Hannah (Slovenia) | Special mention for best video (hope that the guys will on stage as well...) ;-)
Oh: And a very special mention for Cezar from Romania with his song "It's my life" for the highest notes (by a guy) ever sung at a Euro Song contest....
Marijn and I were in a new photoshoot for our Boralis website at the "magere brug" in Amsterdam by Reinier Gerritsen. Cannot wait to see the end result.
Dumbbell Push-up Rows 3 sets, 12 reps, 4 kilo's - and this is just a warm-up exercise...
Last Friday I told the participants at Rockstart about my early steps as entrepreneur - I was finished in a couple of minutes ;-) The guys don't look very interested on this picture do they? Well I don't blame them.
Now that I am (after three months of waiting...) with Vodafone I can make use of their Signal Plus device. I will let you know what the difference in speed and connectivity actually is later on.
