TAke your Ipod or Mp3 player and set it to shuffle and just listen to 15 songs. Whilde doing that, do answer these questions.


Why do you like the 1st song?:
Rascal Flatts – My Wish
I like this song because it’s like the ultimate love song. It’s not about you being with that guy or gal, but just wanting him or her to be happy, with or without you. And when they’re struggling you wan’t them to know that you’ll be there for them.

Who does the 2nd song remind you of?:
Ingrid Michaelson – Be Ok
This song reminds me of feeling good. Not worrying about anything, just focusing on being ok.

Name your favorite lyric from the 3rd song:
Jonas Brothers – That’s Just The Way We Roll
My favorite lyric of this song is this part right here:

“were would we be, if we couldn’t dream,”

Do you have any special memories attached to the 4th song?:
Three Days Grace – Gone Forever
Not really. But it IS a great song. I love the lead singer’s voice. It’s raw and totally out of control.

Do you relate personally to the 5th song?:
Jason Mraz – You And I Both
Well…yes and no. The song is not about something that I’ve been through personally, but I can relate to what it’s about.

What did you think when you first heard the 7th song?:
The All American Rejects – Move Along
When I first heard this song I was like: ‘Damn, these guys are actually quite good,’. They were a band suggestion on my Last.fm account, (TimTunes) but I didn't think I would like their music. They are actually quite cool.

What color does the 8th song remind you of?:
Joe Brooks – Superman
3 colors actually: Red, Blue and Yellow. The three colors of Superman’s outfit. The song isn’t about superman but whenever I hear it or see the title those colors do come to mind.

What is the 9th song about?:
Jason Mraz – I’m Yours
I’m Yours is about giving yourself over to something that’s bigger than you. To committing yourself to something or someone. It’s not really a love song like most people think.

Does the 10th song get stuck in your head easily?:
Jason Mraz – No Stopping Us
Yes It does. But I don’t mind, really. It’s a fantastic song! I don’t listen to it enough.

Could you play the 11th song for a toddler and not feel guilty?:
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – False Pretence
No, I don’t think so, since it’s about being stabbed in the back by one of your friends or a lover.

Is the singer of the 12th song hot?:
Moulin Rouge – El Tango De Roxanne
Dunno, ladies?

What part of your life does the 13th song describe best?:
Panic At The Disco – Pas De Cheval
No part, this song is cool but weird. I don’t even know what it’s about.

Does the 14th song have a cool video?:
Jason Mraz – Cannabis College
It doesn’t have a video. The song is really cool though.

How old is the 15th song?:
Michael Buble – Sway
Old. I don’t really know. This version by Michael Bublé isn’t that old but the original is.

Wow, I totally forgot I even had this account. xD How weird is that? Probably just as weird as posting a blog which no one is gonna read because you havent updated in more than a year. Well, I passed my exams and I am currently studying psychology in Eindhoven. That´s a big city in the Netherlands. This...blogging, writing, pouring my heart out. That´s really not me anymore, but I thought I´d give it another try. God, this is really weird and I don´t know what to write about really..

Ehm. My life is on track, everything is going well and I´ve just received an email saying that I passed my very first test on my new school. Volleyball is going extremely well. We lost all our matches last season. Well...except for 2 or 3, so that sucked, but this year we´ve already won 3 out of 4. So yeah...I rule. I had my very first girlfriend in 3 years a while ago. Didn´t last that long, 3 months to be exact. She broke up with me, but somehow that didn´t really bother me. Things weren´t going that well and she really wasn´t adult enough for the kind of relationship I wanted. I had my exams coming up and couldn't spend that much time with her as I wanted. And then she broke up with me and started dating somone else less than two weeks after. We're still friends. Not that w talk allot, but we don't avoid each other either. I feel like I've grown and she's still where she was when we broke up, so we don't have allot in common anymore.

Jeesh this is one short blog. I'm not good at this anymore. I don't know what to tell. Does that mean I've lost some depth, or does it mean that I don't need this to resolve my feeling anymore? God here I am, a Psychologist in training not even sure how his mental state is at the moment. Ahwell, maybe I should think about this in a positive way: "I'm a mystery, even to myself."
Now doesn't that sound much better?

I'm not in love at the moment by the way. It has been a long time since I last was in love. I've become very picky and personally, I think that's a good thing. All in all, I'm one happy motherf*cker. =)

See ya,

TJK

Darn I've been so frgn' busy the last week. School has started again for me while all my online-friends are still enjoying their vacations. This'll be the last year on my school. (I hope) 5 Years of laughing, making fun with friends and of course doing my schoolwork. After this year I'll be of to study “ethologie” on a school which is located in a city nearby. That's something I'm really looking forward to. 'cause I've always wanted to work with animals and now It's finally going to happen! They have these awesome internships in other country's which I'm really exited about. If I would be able to, I'd pick an internship in America (preferably somewhere in the woodlands with lots of mountains) or somewhere like the Masai Mara in Africa.

 

My sister played her first football mach yesterday. My parent’s were off to see a volleyball mach somewhere in the country and asked me if I wanted to go and see her play. At first I really didn’t want to go, but I realised that I hadn’t seen her play in 6 moths. She’s in an all-girls team now. They have 22(!) girls on their team. Since you can only take 16 players with you on the field/bench they play in turns. The game wasn’t that exiting. Most of the girls can’t even give pass more that’s more than 5 meters away, but my sister did okay. The other team was absolute scum. Mothers with short hair, clothes that exposed way to much skin and nasal voices where their main supporters group. The girls cursed a lot and one time, when the referee made a bad decision, one of the men threw a flag in the field out of frustration. Talk about setting a fine example people!

 

I talked to one of the girls who was injured during a previous match. I knew her from back when I played football. She is one of the most beautiful girls you will ever see in your entire life. That’s just fact. The only reason why I would never get a crush on her is that she kind of…well…stupid. Yes she’s fun, nice and good looking, but personally I like a girl who thoroughly thinks about stuff, who really has interesting things to say and doesn’t mind looking like a total geek in public. A well, that’s just me I suppose. Cause the girl I spoke to has tons of admirers. They come to look at her football games, practises and follow her around everywhere. Not that those boys have much in their heads though.

In about 60 minutes I'll be in the car, driving to
Belgium with my family. We’ve been invited to go to a barbeque at my fathers’ volleyball club. At the moment I really don’t feel like going at all, but maybe it’ll be all right.

 

See you guys!.

Donderdag avond zat ik op hyves en keek ik rond naar de best bekeken blogs. Af en toe zit er wel een leuk stukje tekst tussen. Mensen met een heel eigen kijk op dingen als trends, mode of over onze soldaten in Afganistan. Dat soort dingen kan ik met plezier lezen. Van andere kan ik een pesthumeur krijgen..

Terwijl ik verschillende verhalen aanklik merk ik op dat er meerdere blogs tussenzitten die gaan over vrouwen en hun aversie tegen de man. Ze maken hele pagina's vuil aan hun gezeur over hoe stom die mannen wel niet zijn die ze tegenkomen in het plaatselijke stamcafé.

Het is ook o zo stoer als ze weer zo'n man afwijzen met een gevatte opmerking. Waardoor deze gekwetst afdruipen en teruggaan naar de bar en hun zoveelste biertje bestellen. De reden voor koude afwijzing is het feit dat de man geen goede openingszin had, te opdringerig was, te zelfverzekerd was, te onzeker was of er gewoon niet leuk uitzag.

Als je dat zo leest zou je denken dat ze gewoon niet op mannen vallen, of dat ze al een vriendje hebben, maar niets is minder waar. De meeste zijn vrijgezelle, hetero vrouwen van rond de 20 jaar die hun weekenden slijten in een discotheek met hun goede vriendinnen.

Wat hun probleem dan is daar kan ik alleen naar raden. Er was er zelfs 1 die had in hetzelfde blog staan dat ze niet van mannen hield die zomaar op je afkwamen, maar ook zeker niet wou dat zij zelf op hun af zou moeten stappen. Owkeej..vind je het gek dat je single bent?

Maar als je het even nuchter bekijkt dan weet je toch dat je jouw "ware" niet zult vinden in een café of discotheek waar het gemiddelde promillage aan alcohol in een mens zo'n 50% is? Het is duidelijk dat jouw toekomstige "mister right" niet aan een bar structureel hersencellen zit weg te snuiven en/of drinken? De vrouwen zijn er blijkbaar van overtuigd dat je een leuk vriendje over kunt houden aan één avond dronken amandelhockey. Om eerlijk te zijn snap ik er niets van.

De ware ontmoet je als je in de foyer staat van een theater waar een geweldig toneelstuk wordt gespeelt. De ware vind je als je in een winkel staat om een CD te kopen en hij je een (wat later blijkt) enorm goed album aanraadt. Uitgaan is geen zoektocht naar een partner. Het is vertier en niets anders. Sommige mensen zouden dat eens moeten beseffen.

Maar wat weet ik er van? Ik ben 16 jaar en technisch gezien nog een kind. Ik mag nog geen auto rijden en niet eens stemmen. En ik weet ook wel dat er ook mensen uitgaan om een andere reden dan zo zat mogelijk te worden. Het probleem is alleen dat die mensen met te weinig zijn. 

-----

Please don't hate me for posting this! But I think It's true. Ow, and I know I aid that I'd make more posts about Meijel but.....I just can't find the motivation to do it, so I'm not going to.

Well, I said in my previous post I'd tell you something about my "disaster" at the volleyball tournament. And I'm going to do that now. I'll try to write it so people who don't know me IRL will know what was going on. I'm not sure if this'll turn out the way I want it to turn out, but the least I can do is try, right? This is the story about the first day..

Meijel is the name of a volleyball tournament in
Holland. It's also the name of the town were the tournament is held. My team had been planning the trip to Meijel for over 3 moths and we where all very exited to go. We agreed upon how much stuff everyone would bring. In terms of drinks, breakfast, chips etc. We thought we were set to go. The only problem was that we'd miscalculated the number of cars nessesery for all the stuff + people who were coming with us. So some people had to sit on our HUGE tent, with their travel bags on their laps. Our (very cool) chaperons for that weekend sat on top of other people, because there wasn't enough space XD

I'll give you a list of things people brought:
- 3 bottles of Smirnoff Ice
- 1 bottle of Gold Strike
- 1 bottle of Jägermeister
- 8 crates of Beer
- 3 bottles Bacardi Lemon
- 1 bottle of Malibu 
- 6 bottles of Coca Cola

On the (slightly uncomfortable) trip to the tournament the dark clouds that had been present the whole week seemed to multiply. My mother -who drove the car I was in- even had to put on the headlights because the road was so dark. We where pretty bummed, because the tournament was held outside, on the grass. After at least 40 minutes on the road it started to rain. It started to rain so hard, that we couldn't see more than 5 meters ahead. Things like "Holy Sh*t" and "f-ing hell" where frequently said in the back of the car. Luckily the rain stopped after 10 minutes and when it did we could finally see the end of the clouds. It was like Meijel was the promised land,
with direct sunlight and without pouring rain. I never realised how happy a person could be just by seeing the sun. Now that the sun was back, everyone had smiles on their faces and with very high spirits we entered the town of Meijel.

We arrived at the camp site where we met up with the rest of our club. Which where the Girls-A1 team and their chaperones. They showed us were they made camp and they'd saved a spot for us, so we could stand next to them. We set up our HUGE tent (12 people could fit in it easily, that's with all their stuff) and made our way to the administration to sign us up for the Sunday volleyball matches. After that, we said goodbye to the drivers (3 parents who were nice enough to drive us there) and once they were out of sight we set our stuff in the tent and took a beer. Yes, life was good. In the evening there was a party in an enormous tent that stood right in the center of the whole camping terrain. The fun thing about having a party 2 nights in a row at such an event is that on the first night everyone is looking their best. They all made an effort to look good and most of the time it paid of. While on the second evening, everyone is tired, a little dirty and thinks like: "Ah what the hell should I care. They've seen me almost straight out of bed. I don't have to look that good for them.." Of course my crush (a girl from our club. She’s in the Girsl-A1 team.) looked best. ^^

The party on the first night was the best. Everyone was full of energy and danced a lot, although most boys in my team are a little shy without some...fluid encouragement. I danced with a lot of people, and some of the girls of our other team were getting a lot of attention from guys who had only a little to much to drink. The thing I find repulsive about that is that the guys who did that sort of stuff where mostly like 25 and up while the oldest girl in our girl team was 17. Anyway, everyone was having a great time. My crush didn’t really give me any attention, but I wasn’t really counting on that to happen. Though I was hoping that she’d let something slim under the influence f alcohol, which she didn’t because she wasn’t drunk. She was a real exception, because almost everyone was totally wasted that night. For the record; no I wasn’t.  Halfway through the evening I bumped into a friend of mine, she is a player for another volleyball club near ours. She's nice, sweet, really pretty and she has a great sense of humor. The only problem about her is, that she has a boyfriend. (which I didn't know at the time) And damn could she dance! I was getting warmer just looking at her. She came to me and we danced together a little bit.

 

At some point in the evening I noticed that one of the girls from our club couldn’t stand up straight anymore, because she drank to much. Everyone was having a great time, so I took her back to our tent’s alone. When I got there, the other half of our group was already there. They were chatting with some people from Rotterdam. Unfortunately her tent was already…occupied by one of her teammates and a boy. She really wanted to sleep, so I put her in my bed. We fell asleep together, but nothing happened.

Hello and welcome to my livejournal!

I'm not going to write about me or my feelings this time. I'm trying to get used to all the options, so you will probably see some change in the layout of my page and more of that stuff. A friend of mine has a livejournal and she introduced me to it. On other pages I have Blogs, but somehow this journal feels much more....me. I'll enjoy writing here, I just know it.

In my next post I'll probably tell you about my fiasco at a Volleyball Tournament I had this weekend. See you soon
