She offered me The Orange Girl and left
4 Jan 2011
It’s a cold winter morning and I’m out shooting what i was expecting to be the city covered by fresh white snow. Instead I’m trying my best not to slide and fall on the ice covered sidewalks around the Parliament Palace. After a walk down the nearby park, I’m waiting to cross the street, cold and not so convinced i want to extend my time out in the chilly wind for much longer.
Without notice, I’m approached by a young lady who offers me a [...]

About a decade ago, through a series of synchronicities, I’ve come to learn about conspiracy theories and soon became fascinated with them. It started out as a light, fun read and eventually changed the way i look at things for good, although i guess that’s a story for another post. Since I’ve always been a bit of an outsider, i never really cared about what people thought of me. That’s why it wasn’t long before i started sharing such theories with those around me, [...]

Sharing ideas one day at a time
1 Jun 2010
The last time i wrote on this blog i still had a rather counterproductive approach to updating it. There was a self imposed pressure of uploading content on a regular basis, which eventually led me to abandoning it rather quickly after realizing it wasn’t getting that much speed after all. In the meantime, i understood that you can’t force it, if you want to stay true to the things you care about and that it’s an organic process which couldn’t care less about scheduling.
The [...]
A few days ago, while watching a recording of a wellness seminar i kinda had somewhat of an epiphany. The speaker kept mentioning how people tend to focus on what they don’t want in their lives, what they loathe about their ways of living and about the ones around them. That’s how we get to the point were we spend more time and mental energy visualizing and reliving most of the bad experiences in our lives. Thus, we almost entirely forget about the things [...]
I absolutely love it when people are capable to make fun of their own origins and traditions. This proves a lot of courage and open mindedness on their part. It shows they’re capable to distance themselves from the general consensus, put things in perspective and have a more objective way of seeing things.
Personally, I’m not such a big supporter of the belief you should follow the traditions of your ancestors no matter what, without questioning them or thinking about their consequences, when applied in [...]

There’s no secret by now that women are obsessed with looking good (read “appropriate for mating”) around the clock. For most of them, their whole lives are driven by the eventual need to nest and generate offspring. It’s in their genes, it’s fueled by their families, especially their mothers, while the world is still pretty harsh and disrespectful to single women after a certain age. It’s like they’re unfit, unwell or simply antisocial, when in fact they might simply had less luck or different [...]

For some funny reason, we like way to much to pass blame, whenever something we’re involved in goes the wrong way. I think it has something to do with our primal survival instincts, in that it helps us avoid punishment, remorse and any other form of pain derived from it. In much the same way, we rush to accept the laurels when we’ve contributed to the successful outcome of an endeavor. It’s all to easy to forget that we weren’t the only ones responsible [...]
Human traits that make life on Earth so bad
16 Mar 2009
The moment we are born is when we have the greatest potential to become incredible human beings. Unfortunately, there’s something about our society that somewhat manages to screw things up for most of us. There’s all sorts of traditions, the media, everyone around us and the educational system, that one way or the other, influences us and deposits tiny bits of dangerous information deep into our subconscious. Like it or not, we’re still the most complex computer known to man.
Still, unlike those dumb machines [...]
The thing about somber predictions is that the vast majority of people will discredit or refuse to believe them. Everything, from our education, up to our belief system makes it hard to accept truth when it doesn’t look all that good. We are hedonistic creatures and usually tend to postpone pain and suffering as much as we can, naively hoping that maybe they’ll just vanish into thin air and we’ll be safe once more from the consequences of our actions.
There’s no doubt today, that [...]

There were a couple of other things i was going to write about in my next couple of posts. However, something happened this evening and so i had to “report” on that. It was one of those great unexpected moments of pure epiphany that you’re happy to have had in your life. They come from simple people you barely even know or talk to.
Chance had it that i met two of my neighbors, one of which i never seen before. They were having a [...]
