Ingrid Bergman once said : I have no regrets. I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say."
Could be my personal motto :)

My children, my teachers, love of me life! Taken on Sunday september 29th 2002..
they had to say double frites with sauce...which of course they did not haha :-) |
Selfimage in negative To tell something about myself.
Well.
Let s try it the other way round, by giving a negative selfimage.
What follows are things that are not part of me.
Perhaps you will know a little more about me .. and probably decide I m just the girl next door :-).
Going to bed early
Haven t done that since childhood, hence my VT-name...somehow I can manage without too much sleep.
Luxury travel
The few times I got lured into such vacations can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Sitting still and sunbathing just ain t my thing!
Watch
Have bought a watch many a time, but after some weeks I kinda forgot to put it around my arm again. Do manage quite well without it I think.
Being early
I hate to arrive as first one on meetings, parties and dates, so I made it a habit to come just in time. Never got me really in trouble so far.
Be a model
Posing for a photograph, I just hate it!
Travel without a camera
Unthinkable! Gotta have at least two camera's with me!
Behaving
Mmmm, that has been a tough act all my life. Never really wanted to behave like one expects it of me.
Well, quite boring, ain t it? ;-)

The Laws of Ducks
Duck Law No. 1
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, looks like a duck and cooks like a duck, it's a duck.
Restatement: All things are known by their attirbutes.
Duck Law No. 2
Even under ideal circumstances, no duck, no matter how noble or well-intentioned, can be an eagle.
Restatement: All things must be what they are.
Duck Law No. 3
A duck can pretend to be an eagle except in times of adversity.
Restatement: Pretense and adversity are inversely proportional; adversity reveals the true nature of all things.
Duck Law No 4
No duck may be an eagle until it abandons its webbed feet and bill for talons and a beak.
Restatement: All things remain as they are until the attributes that define them are abandoned. Then, and only then, can they evolve.
Duck Law No. 5
Ducks are noble creatures. They shall not be penalized in the eyes of other creatures because they are not eagles.
Restatement: All things are honorable if they are what they are honestly, even if they are different from you.
Duck Law No. 6
The greatest duck that ever was cannot cannot fly as high as even a modest eagle.
Restatement: If one would soar with eagles, do not swim with ducks.
Duck Law No. 7
Ducks flock. Eagles fly alone. Ducks and eagles never mingle.
Restatement: Choose company wisely.
Duck Law No. 8
A duck's quack doesn't echo. No one knows why.
Restatement: Sometimes there is no answer.

Was talking in vt chat the other day and come to talk about different view on how to look on things.
Googled for it and found this great site! Philosophies on ***
Here s what I found: %s6The Problem: There is a pile of cowshit on the floor. This is what various philosophers would say about it:
Socrates: Major Premise: There is something on the floor.
Minor Premise: That something is cowshit.
Conclusion: There is cowshit on the floor.
Asvaghosh: I will, by virtue of clever argument, prove that it is impossible to know whether this cowshit exists.
Descarte: I think the cowshit is, therefore it is.
Pascal: I have two choices - I can either believe in the cowshit, or not. If I do not believe in it, I may suffer dire consequences. But if I believe in it, at worst I will have lost nothing.
Voltaire: It is necessary for each to tend to his own cowshit.
Rousseau: This is a noble, savage cowshit, and therefore better than a civilized cowshit.
Kant: This cowshit has a quality of cowshitness, which defines it to be
cowshit.
Nietzsche: Hear me, my brothers! Behold this cowshit. It is dead, and we have killed it. Let us therefore build ourselves a supercowshit to take its place.
Wittgenstein: That there is cowshit on the floor is only valid in certain situations, since the concepts of "cowshit", "floor" and "there" are merely semantic constructs in the language game.
Camus: This cowshit being on the floor is a random event in an uncaring universe, but I shall continue on with what I am doing in spite of it, and this fact makes me a human being.
Joshu (A Zen Master): (Gets a shovel, scoops up the cowshit, throws it away, then has a cup of tea.) %s* %f* |
