Ah, look at all the lonely people...

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice in the church
where a wedding has been,
lives in a dream,
waits at the window, wearing the face
that she keeps in a jar by the door.
Who is it for?

April 1966.
On a day, the, back then still young, Paul McCartney was sitting at his piano when this song suddenly came to him. On 5th August of the same year it was released as 'Eleanor Rigby'.
What was he thinking while writing it, God may know, but unintentionally he wrote a very thoughtful song and by adding the names Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie he gave it a message, a soul. When there's a concrete name in a song or in a poem, you can relate to it easier. Of course, that's not always this way. A lot of songs and poems that don't involve names are just as good, but when you think that your artpiece is missing something, just add a name to it. I'm sure it'll help you out. =)

Father McKenzie's writing the words of a sermon
that no one will hear,
no one comes near,
look at him working.
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there.
What does he care?

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Zhen Wu International Martial Arts Camp

http://www.zhenwucamp.com/

This summer, the first two weeks of August, I'm going to Porto, Portugal to the international Martial Arts camp which was organised by the martial arts school I train in!
It's going to be an amazing trip, with a lot of great training and great food, and great weather, and in a great, beautiful country!
I'm so excited about it, because I'm going to learn a few new interesting kung fu styles, Ba Gua for example, which is a dragon style in circular form, and others. It's also a great opportunity to see the beautiful Porto, to go swimming in the marvelous Atlantic Ocean, and also take a whole bunch of beautiful pictures! And also, I must not forget, it's an awesome way to spend time with your best friends and train with them!


I seriously just can't wait untill summer.
Portugal, here we come!

Scott Tenorman Must Die

South Park episode: Scott Tenorman Must Die

Everytime when I see another South Park episode, I force myself to think that this is the limit, a man can not be any worse than this. But they keep surprising me, or rather scare me, to be honest.

In this episode Cartman buys pubes from an older boy, Scott Tenorman, who sells them for 10 $ to him. Cartman is of course extremely proud because he believes that he's first to reach puberty of the rest of the gang. What he apparently doesn't know, is that if you buy somebody's pubes, it doesn't mean that you're about to reach puberty. So the other boys just tell him that he's stupid and Cartman walks away very angry, ready to confront Scott Tenorman.

But unfortunately for Cartman, Scott is way smarter than him, and with everything Cartman does, Scott is always one step ahead.

Eventually, without revealing too many details, Scott ends up eating a chili con carne made of his dead parents by Cartman. 

And then at the end you hear Stan say that nobody should piss Cartman off ever again.

I like Cartman in most of the episodes. He's not just a spoiled, stupid, fat kid. He's also an extremely good leader even though not many people like him that much. But I must admit, that sometimes Cartman goes a little bit too far with his weird ambitions. That episode seriously shocked me yesterday! 

The funniest thing of all here, was the fact that when Cartman was telling Scott about the chili and all the things he did, all the people around them didn't even blink! They were acting like they were seeing such things every day!

South Park, though very cruel and exaggerated, is extremely funny and true.

Lucky Number 7

Hi! sorry for posting this so late, but I am extremely sick at the moment and I have been that for the entire weekend as well. Not very useful when you have to study for a bunch of tests for the next week!!!
Eventually I didn't study anything because I kept falling asleep and I'm not sure for how long I'll have to stay at home.
Anyway, my mom is having an exhibition on february 25th in Brussels. It looks really cool already, but unfortunately I can't attend to it because I have to be at school at that friday evening! If you ask me, I'd say that that is just outrageous! But enough about that.


A few days ago, before I caught the flu, I was watching a movie, "Lucky Number Slevin".
And I can say that I was very impressed by it! It is very far from a classical design movie, but that's what I love about it! It doesn't have a usual timeline, it's nonlinear (another movie term I learned!). And you can't understand a thing about what the protagonist is up to or who he is or who everybody else is... It's very complicated. But at the end, everything falls into place. It's a movie about contract killers and a guy that attracts waaaaay too much misfortune. Or does he really?


The movie stars Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis and others.
