Sweet chorus

Martin Sweet posted this song on Crashdïet's facebook this evening. To do a cover of the bands biggest hit is of course going to create opinions. We all know that nothing will ever be as good as the original, but by having an open mind and giving Adept a chance I gotta say that I like it! I've never liked it when a singer is just yelling and screaming through a song without any good purpose or melody. Which unfortunately is exactly what he is doing here in the verses. But the heavy intro and the sweet chorus makes up for it, big time! And now I'm head banging my way through this evening...

 

Not that this is a movie blog buuut....

When I think back to the Halloween parties I went to as a kid I think of crazy looking food, spaghetti worms, sausage fingers, blood punch and bats made out of candy! I think about all of those times when me and my friends were standing in the middle of a room, dressed up as witches of course, clinging to one another because we were so scared of the guys running around in Scream masks outside the house. Of course it was only Alexandra's older brother and one of his friends. But the fact that those Scream movies were such a big hit then and we had seen them like a twenty times, we were bound to feel like Sidney Prescott.
Those movies are classified as silly these days, but I still think they rock ;)

A couple of years later at my Birthday/Halloween party!

I have never been a fan of movies that are created just to scare you. I want a good and interesting story behind it. "The count of Monte Cristo" isn't exactly a horror movie. Or well, I would personally find it pretty horrible to be betrayed by my best friend and then locked away in a torture chamber for 14 years. But maybe that's just me. Anyone who hasn't seen this work of art that is based on a 167 year old book, is missing out on an incredible story. The first time I saw it was with my aunt when we were on a winter vacation together. It didn't stop snowing for one second when we were there. And every day when we got back home from skiing, we saw this spectacular movie. Click here and scroll down in the playlist to watch it!

Edmond - There are 72 519 stones in my walls. I've counted them many times.

Abbe Faria - But have you named them yet?

Halloween Hell

I won't be celebrating until Friday.

But still, this is the weekend to say HAPPY HEEELLOWEEN all sleazy rockers!! 

There's a sleazy rocker hiding in everyone ;)

It takes courage to play in a world that does not play

While we are talking about having fun...
One of the few people that I have looked up to for almost my whole life is Ellen Degeneres. I have followed her career for so long that she almost feels like a part of my family. Weird huh?
But how can I not feel that way when she's been in my living room almost every day after school. For all of these years she's been making me laugh and she has teached me that all people are important no matter what their sexuality is. I have never even questioned it because it's always been so obvious to me. And even though I do have two very liberal parents who would never allow me to look down on someone for being gay, I am still convinced that Ellen was the person who influenced me the most to be open minded. But most important, open hearted. 
I feel proud in a strange way that she has this succesful talk show called "The Ellen Degeneres show". Because I was one of her fans all the way from the beginning. From the time that no one even knew that she was gay. It's nice being able to say that I was one of those people who stuck by her until she had made it all the way to the top and now is one of America's most powerful woman. And that power is truly in the right pair of hands.

Just watch this clip from when Ellen was still doing stand-up and had her hilarious TV-serie "Ellen". What she says about our inner child is brilliant and don't you all wish that we could do this!? Just run around on the street playing games with each other like it was the most natural thing in the world. For some of us it would be such a scary challenge to walk up to someone and do this. But at least we could start with our friends! (Or maybe our boss...) We barely play with our friends anymore! How lame is that? Kids rock because they aren't chickens like us who are afraid of every little thing.

Watch from 8:25 and continue in the video below!

If it's not fun, why are you still playing?

I have been in such a good mood since yesterday evening! And whenever I feel this good I always try to take care of myself, eat better and try to stay happy for as long as possible. What goes up must always come down so I know it's only a matter of time before I'll go back to my normal state of mind. I don't mean that I walk around feeling depressed all week long, I just mean that I'm not as extremely happy and content like I am right now :P
Who knows, maybe I'll use this extra energy to write another "30 challenges in 30 days" post.... haha, I doubt it. I'm so stubborn that when I feel like I really HAVE to do something... then I just don't do it. Things like that needs to come natural to me and it has to be fun. I never write anything in my blog unless I feel like it!

Missing you

Kind of weird when you listen to a song your whole life and just think it's good. Then you grow up and one day realise that you can relate to every word in it.

 

I saw in the newspaper
that now there is a chance
for me to travel cheaply abroad.
It's good for me;
but too bad for you
Because if I see you smile,
at someone else,
I take the plane to Paris
I'll live in a hotel

for one night, blame yourself!

It's pretty clear,
that you are popular.
But it is just causing trouble.
I'm overlooked, misled.
You know all I ask is this trivial thing,
I want you all to myself.

I intend to jump from the Eiffel Tower,
if you betray me.
For I will take revenge if I am left
lonely without you.
Aaah yes jump, down the Eiffel Tower,
if you fool me.
But I hope that I'm stopped
in the elevator up by you.
