Balance

It's now about a month that i haven't talked to Diana. Part of me is glad that there has not been any contact at all. Mostly cause i'm starting to do the stuff again that i stopped doing. I hardly played games or watched movies and more. Everything i put aside for her. Also life feels less dramatic now. So i'm feeling good overall.

But i also feel kind of sad still. Cause she made a large impact in my life and was there for me during some rough times. I really miss the first week that we met. I think we had the best time then.

But during the time i was friends with Diana, the friendship with Abbie went downhill, and now that Diana is out of my life, the friendship with Abbie grows stronger.

It's like life needs a certain balance. A balance between good and evil, ying and yang, positive and negative.
But the ramifications of my friendship with Diana are still present as well.
There have been people that seemed to have been interested in me, but that interest is not returned. Although feeling flattered, i can't bring up any feelings whatsoever.
Why do i say it's cause of the ramifications of the friendship with Diana?
I guess that on some level, i still miss her. My love for her is completely over, but on some level i still care for her.

Also i think i'm better off being alone anyways.
I can do my own things, when and how i want, and i don't feel the need to be around every single day, just so i can talk to some people.
To me, my life feels more balanced again.

Earthquakes

I find it curious how within a time-span of 3 months, several major earthquakes have happened. First it was a tsunami on December 26th near the region that was struck with a Tsunami, only a few years ago on December 26th as well. Then this year there was an earthquake Haitï, around January 12 of this year. Terrible, terrible news that was. So many deaths happened.
As if it wasn't enough, a month and a half later, two earthquakes happened again.
Japan was hit and so was Chile within a matter of days.
Now two weeks after that, Turkey had an earthquake.

Seriously, not sure if any of my readers ever read about 2012, or perhaps seen the movie, but the more we seem to get closer to this date, the more seems to happen.

Severe earthquakes, Solar activity being much less than usual, even the protective magnetic bubble around our solar system that protects us from deep space radiation has diminished. We've also been way overdue to a Polar shift, in which the magnetic field will shift, giving us a new magnetic north, and should that happen, it might cause chaos as well, not to mention several earthquakes etc.

I really wonder what is next. It's like the Earth is changing right now.
All we can do is wait and sit it out.

Hopefully there won't be an earthquake for a very long time.

Aiming the arrow

So I decided to visit the Archery club today instead of upcoming saturday. I have to say that it looked quite fun to take lessons there. And oh my, some pretty girls there too shooting their arrows.
But seriously, this man showed me around a little and told me a bit about the history of the archery club and how some people that shoot there are also playing national competitions.

Good news is they seriously managed to convince me to take lessons there, the downside is, the first 2 lesson blocks of 10 lessons are practically already booked as there seems to be a lot of interest in this sport.
So it might take 2 or 3 months before i can follow the lessons, but i'm not bothered about that.
The man advised me to just send an email saying i'm interested in following lessons and that i should hear then when i could start.
So i'll send that email tomorrow and hopefully i get a response back from the person in charge, as he wasn't there today.

Root of Evil

Some people say that money is the root of all evil. I have to agree.
I've been wondering a few days ago about what would happen to the world if suddenly all money was not worth anything anymore or all burned in a blazing fire.
I mean, why do we put so much worth into money? A simple piece of paper that is probably printed for only worth a few cents and can be used as something that is worth € 100 for instance.

People are fools really to put so much value into money.
Now with the economic crisis happening all over the world, I secretly hope that money becomes obsolete. Only one person that is a visionary in my eyes knew what the world could look like. I'm talking about Gene Roddenberry here.
In the Star Trek universe, the people stopped using money long ago and only worked on improving themselves and others.
If people needed food or any appliance or tool, they simply got it.

Also it would probably solve many problems in the world i think.

The Final Frontier

As many know or might have guessed, i'm someone that loves to play videogames.
This also means the always time consuming MMORPG's.
If you wonder what that means, google it. Or just know that World of Warcraft is also a MMORPG. So you get the idea.

I've beta tested the game Star Trek Online and wanted to play it at launch, but unfortunately this was thwarted by certain money issues.

Well, i am planning to buy it today and play it, cause this is a game i could play for months and not get bored with it.
And as luck has it, a few friends of mine also play this, so it won't be much of a solo career in Starfleet.

Playing games like these are perfect for whenever i start to get bored.
Not sure how much i'll play it, but knowing how much time i spent on Everquest and City of Heroes, yeah, this could go on for awhile.

Well, here's to me becoming the next Captain Kirk.

Bow and Arrow

Well, thanks to my friend Marco (Slate), he pointed out another archery club that is even closer to home.
Luckily the yearly costs are cheaper too, but i can't seem to know from their website on which bows they use. All i'm seeing is the recurve bow and if they only use that, than i might still go for the other club.
The one in Arnhem teaches you with 3 bows and you can decide yourself later which bow you prefer.

Well, i sent an email to the club in Nijmegen and hopefully i get a reply soon.
If they also do it like the one in Arnhem, than Nijmegen is the obvious choice.

Excitement grows about this new hobby and i can't wait to start.
