*&I THOUGHT MY LIFE WOULD GET EASIER, INSTEAD IT'S GETTING HARDER%$

I have issues. And they bother me. But today I feel I've reached a point and enough is enough. With all the sunshine outside let's shine a more positive light on things! YAAAAY :D I feel like I over-analyze things way too much and I just can't bear anything more. I'm done. I'm fed up. And I feel like just forgetting about it all and move on to the next phase. I'm 100% sure by tomorrow I'm back again where I was at the start of today, but at least right now I have a moment of clarity so let's enjoy it while it lasts!

The Drums album it's good. I enjoyed it lots on my way to school this morning. Especially the song Book Of Stories.



They look so effortlessly cool

I had another evaluation at school today and of course my teacher gave me a 'good'. I already knew from the first day of her class. Already then she came to check up on me and told me oooh good, just keep doing what you're doing, I won't bother you, you're doing great, you're working really well, let's keep it that way! So no surprises here. I'm basically 99% accepted into the full-time bachelor. But of course next week I'll show up with all the things I've made throughout the entire year (!) and of course I'll make a drawing of how to showcase everything and put lots of time and effort in it. Hopefully they'll ask me a lot of questions and really take a close look at my work instead of today. 'Cause today I wasn't even done hanging up all my drawings and finding a nice spot to showcase all the 3D pieces I made. I could have actually stayed at home and my teacher could have sent me an email saying she gave me a 'good' 'cause I know she already knew she was giving me one before the evaluation even started. It's like this all the time. I don't know why me, but I'm not going to think about that. I'll just keep doing what I do and we'll see what it will all lead up to.

Here is a video of the performance I did last week, some find it a bit disturbing

Don't worry, I'm not going out killing girls or myself. And nope, I have not lost my mind either

I'll miss school. I didn't want to leave today and all of my fellow students kept on leaving like they don't care next week is our last class. I'll miss it. I don't want it to end. I want the full-time bachelor to start on Monday! I can't wait. I love the place, I love the people. All these kids are so nice. I'm not the only one who cries :D

After all this time I still have not finished reading The Fountainhead. I adore the book, but come on, we need to finish so we can start reading The Idiot!!

Tomorrow I'm going to spend my day with a friend, or two. It's gonna be a good day and it might rain! OH YEAH :DDD

After talking on the phone with my mum I got a bit sick all of a sudden, my throat is all slimey or something :(
Spreading deceases over the telephone is not the way to go

I'm STILL listening to Caribou's Swim, at home, on the bike, when walking down the street. Best album, I'm telling you!

This is what happens when they perform live. Why didn't I go some days ago when they were in Amsterdam??? :(((



Last night I couldn't resist and got myself to listen to the high quality stream of High Violet, if you don't know what High Violet is, it's the latest album by The National, and it's GOOD. These guys can do no wrong in my book, they know exactly what I want and need and they deliver 100%

Next time I see them it's gonna be even more amazing than the first

This is a good reason why I should go and see We Were Promised Jetpacks tomorrow evening


See those kids at the front, at a gig like this, those are the people you're looking for

These will inspire me for days. Thank you Eleanor Wood and BOOOOOOOOM!

I'll say it once more Contemporary Art Daily is the best website about art there is

Obviously what I like most about this picture is the kid's hair.

Can't wait 'till mine grows back to this :D


Why did I have to shave the back, WHY??

I used to be a bit red:P

Finally after all this time I've been able to start reading The Catcher In The Rye after having found the book at this second hand book store. Lately I'm getting a bit obsessed about going to those kind of places. Each time I'm in town I want to pass there to look for some books. Their bookshelves are like huge treasure chests and you just want to digg in. One day I might end up buying up the whole place! I just love that they're second hand books. It's much nicer having this worn out book in your hands instead of holding a brand new one, plus they're are much cheaper which I always find to be a very good thing. I could go to the library instead, but to own a book, to know that it's yours, to be able to write little scribblings in it and to know it will forever be yours it's just a very soothing thought.
I finished Billy Liar this morning so now I went from Billy Fisher to Holden Caulfield and boy ;) do I already love this guy. He's so dead honest and it's so funny already. This is going to be a real joy to read. It's just little things like this for example that I really enjoy:

'"Have a seat there, boy," old Spencer said. He meant the bed.'

He's visiting a teacher and he's dying to get out of there as his teacher is starting this whole lecture about Holden being dropped out of school. I love how well observant Holden is, the way Salinger really tells from the boy's perspective and keeps the reader updated on Holden's thoughts while in conversation and the fact that Holden thinks about something completely different while talking, that's so like me. My mind wanders off like that all the time too.

The Libertines are back together and it's not an April fools joke!
