in an another era when i was a student we used to play dungeons and dragons on the faculty PDP computer. in those days these games were text based. i was in the dungeon, entered the command "east". then the computer said "a little yellow bird sits in front of you, the bad ogre is running towards you". i gave the command "attack", the computer responded "awww you killed the little yellow bird, the bad ogre is still running towards you"

window of my eyes

2011-10-02T15:46:00.003+02:00

Through the window of my eyes
I can see the rainy day
Sitting in the chair
Of my cool room
Looking for a way
To be the one I am

It's useless to cry
For the things I once have known
Thinking it will come back and reach my home
It's like a distant, like a distant face
It's like the shadow on my wall

Something that
That I cannot touch
A heavenly past that calls
the shelter of my mind
Hides my laugh and my tear
and I keep on looking for a reason which is not here

A tribute to Harry "Cuby" Muskee, he died last week.

Window of my eyes is the song by Cuby and the Blizzards that touched my soul. And still does.

Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying.
You'll find that life is still worthwhile-
If you just smile.

it's cold in amsterdam, so i'll be short, if you want to make this photo you need the following ingredients

one moon
one steel tree
two birds
organic trees
natural snow

What i like the best in Oosterpark is the interactive tree made of rusty steel equipped with solarpanels and colored LED's.
The steel tree is a project from

only in a genuine constitutional democracy citizens are required to get drunk in order to celebrate the royal birthday. actually, i spoke to people who wondered if americans got drunk on Obama's birthday

"Leidse Square Entertainment Area" Our wise tax spending municipality has decided that the Red Light District is out, tourists should go to Leidse Plein. The speech computer in the public transport system announces the stops bilingual and Leidse Plein is recently reprogrammed to be announced as the official municipal entertainment area. Welcome to the city of magic! Anyway I went out for dinner at a tapas place near Leidse Plein where this musician from Uruguay played a great interpretation of Besame Mucho.
