What defines you?

A while ago I wrote a blog about most of us living in the world of Mumble Jumble. With so many people bragging about how good they are, what they achieved, I sometimes feel lost. Have we really come to believe that our lives will be defined by who we want other people believe us to be? That just pretending to be a certain someone will actually make sure that we will remembered that way? Though I am not convinced the answer is yes, it has run through my mind more than once. Having said that, I would like you all to chew on some statement regarding this very subject. How do you feel about it?

The dictator vs American Pie

This weekend I didn’t see just one, but actually two movies in the theater. Both were comedies so it would be fair to say I laughed a lot. The movies I am talking about are The Dictaor (With Sasha Baron Cohen) and American Pie: Reunion. Looking back, they are good movies on their own. Still, the impressions of both movies were very different. Therefore it would be funny to just write a blog in which I compare and review both of the movies. A little different from what I normally do, but it might be fun. So if you are interested to see what I made of these two movies, I guess you should

Where my viewers come from

Ever since I started my blogging journey here on WordPress.com I have been intrigued by their statistics. They could tell me how many people viewed my blog. They could tell me exactly how those people got there and what tags got me the most hits. They keep track of my amount of blogposts, how many comments I got, how many categories I used and how many tags I added to my blog. Basically, they already gave me everything I need to know to keep improving my blog. For this I am thankful and a while ago, they gave me something else that put a huge smile on my face. Countries.

Born and Raised is the new rising star of John Mayer

Since John Mayer had released a preview of the new single of his new album, I have been anxiously waiting for it to be released. Well, maybe this had already starting after he released the previous album Battle Studies. This Friday it was D-day for the album release, because the album Born and Raised hit the stores. After listening to the previews found in iTunes, I felt there was no other option but to go buy it. So I did. As ever, he didn’t fail to amaze me with another great album. Despite all the superlatives I threw his way already, there is nothing wrong in doing some more for this new masterpiece?

The Avengers are epic

When you think of a strip from Marvel that has been turned into a movie, what is the first thing that comes in mind? Brainless action? A super hero dressed up in a way to tight fitting jumpsuit? Well, if you look at the movies X-men, Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America, Thor and Spiderman, I can’t exactly blame you. Personally, I have always been a fan of the Marvel’s that were turned into movies. So when I heard they put almost all these fantastic heroes in one movie, called Avengers I was curious. Now all before reading the rest of this post, please make a guess what the movie turned out to be?

Experification music top 5 2012: Week 19

Yes, it’s that time of the week again people. I am going to share my personal top five from the past week with all of you again. And it’s quite an exciting one I believe, because the list contains no more than four new songs. Only one song has been on the list before and was in it last week as well. This means there is a whole lot of new music for you all to discover. At least, for those who love some new music on their playlist? Either way, I am pretty excited to share this new list with you all. The past few weeks were pretty dark, but this list shows my mood is getting better and more positive.

Feel good about yourself

Telling that you feel beautiful unique and loved as a person is often considered an expression of arrogance. At least, by the majority of people. They mistook feeling good about yourself with arrogance. They believe it shows a lack of criticism to their own person. Where this believes comes from, I don’t know. For all I know, I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist who has analyzed people for years. What I do know is that it shouldn’t stop us from feeling good about whom we are and where we are going to. A believe that led to a quote that I would love to share with all of you, to hopefully inspire.

A mix from the heart.

A couple of day I wrote another ‘poem’ that I actually never intended to put out here in the open. It was just meant to be a draft to stay for a couple of months before finally getting deleted. This until I heard a song playing on my iPod. Someone who dared to pour out her heart, because it needed some relief of all the emotions inside. With already having put up such ‘poetry’ before, I changed my mind. Everything I write is somehow meant to be published. It’s just that sometimes I am bit insecure about people misreading it. So for all you who might, this is not a message meant for anyone. This is just a mix of emotions and feelings. that came from the heart.

Music from the end of the world

In my review on the Train concert I visited in Paradiso, I was very positive on their support act. Okay, I addressed a few minor issues that downgraded the performance a bit. Still, I was pretty well entertained. Then again, when I dig just a little deeper it took Matt Nathanson quite some time to convince me from his music. With no drummer to support him and just one other acoustic guitar player at his side, it was all a bit dull. When I had almost wrote him off in my mind, the electric guitar was picked up. Just then he started his song; A room @ the end of the world and I was sold. Why?

To hang on or to fall?

When it comes to learning life lessons the hard way, I am a walking cliché. Without experiencing it first hand, I can’t seem to acknowledge they are true. Then again, this is and always will be the best way to gain life experience. Painfully, but valuable lessons nonetheless. It’s all these lessons that inspire me to put quotes on Twitter or Facebook. Okay, not all of them, but a decent amount really comes from things I have been through. Today I wish to share something that was painful at the time, but has brought me a lot since. Now something tells me most of you will recognize this.
