Daydreaming

"Everybody, everybody has the potential for genius. The human brain is far more powerful than a computer. Than a super computer. It's potential is still not known. Everytime you put a boundary on it the brain bursts through that boundary and goes further and further. So brilliance is a potential for everybody.

The nice thing about daydreaming is that daydreaming, which has been considered a sign of incompetence, a sign of bad academic potential, we know, realise that daydreaming can break you or make you. The great geniuses did something different, they day dreamed big.

The left side of the brain is dominant in the following kinds of skills: words, numbers, lines, logic, analysis. The right side tends to be dominant in rhythm, colour, spatial awareness, imaginary and daydreaming. And you must know that for example creativity is not as nearly everyone in the world thinks. But creativity involves logic, it involves analysis, it involves words, songs. So the conclusion is that both sides of the brain, of the cortex, need to be used in harmony with each other. Then you got an explosion of creativity."

Een kruimel in het universum.

Maar het heeft geen ZIN. Het leven is één grote grap. Wat is de zin van het leven? Wat is mijn doel? Is er wel een doel? Mensen komen en gaan, de tijd tikt vooruit, maar mijn gedachten blijven in het verleden, niet in staat mee te groeien met de rest van mijn lichaam.
Algemeen bekeken betekent mijn aanwezigheid niks. Ik ben slechts een ontelbaarste van een kruimel in het universum. Of ik er nu ben of niet, het maakt niets uit. Mijn gedachten slagen op hol wanneer ik denk aan het heelal en alle dingen die wij niet eens kunnen waarnemen. Ik vraag mij soms af of iets of iemand ons bestuurt. Eén groot complot dat zich bezighoudt met onze vernietiging. Ik snap het leven niet. Ik snap het nut er niet van. Waarom? Hoe? Ik word er gek van.

BOOKTUBEATHON 2014!

Some of you might remember that last year I did the booktubeathon challenge and IT'S BACK!! I wanted to make it a reading summer anyway so this is perfect! It's from the 14th of July until the 21st.

Here are the challenge for this year:

1) A book with pictures.
2) Start and finish a series.
3) A book with red on the cover.
4) A book someone else picks out for you.
5) A book from the genre you've read the least this year.
6) A book to movie adaptation
7) Read seven books.


There are also 7 Video Challenges:

Day One: Show your top 3 book you read because of booktube.
Day Two: Find the items on three covers.
Day Three: Draw a better cover for any book.
Day Four: Write a story using all the words from three titles.
Day Five: Make a rainbow of you favourite books.
Day Six: Find 5 things from one of the books you've read this week.
Day Seven: Show us where you've read during the booktubeathon!

I'm super excited and I think it's manageable! I don't know yet if I will do the video challenges but who knows.. :)

These are the books I'll -try to- read:


1) Once Upon A Time graphic novel
2) De Heksenoorlog (trilogy: De clan van de wolvin, De ijswoestijn, De vloek van Odi)
(It's called War of the Witches in English)
3) Catching fire and/or Harry Potter 1
4) Australië op blote voeten (Mutant Message From Forever) (not pictured)
5) The adventure of the Christmas pudding - Agatha christie
6) Catching fire

One book is not on the pile yet because I'll have to get it from the library and it's closed until Tuesday -__- So I'll upload an updated pile next week!

Like I said in my Summer Reads post I still haven't seen the Catching Fire film so now I'll use that one for this challenge. I already started reading it, but only read one chapter so far. Since I'm also re-reading Harry Potter I might use that one for challenge number 3, but only if I've read all the rest and still have time left. Otherwise I'll use Catching Fire for two challenges.

Let me know if you're participating too!

We make our own luck in this world.

"But in dark times when we close our eyes
It’s a nightmare, it’s a nightmare
When the sun don’t shine we lose our mind
But I swear, we can get there


We’ve got young blood
Can’t destroy us
We make our own luck in this world
We’ve got young blood
No one chose us
We make our own life in this world"
