Jeugd Nostalgie In Een Digi Jasje

Toen Kimpeezy enkele tonnen lichter was en enkele centimeters kleiner was ze down met pop-up books. Je weet toch? Van die boekies wanneer je aan het pijltje trok of de pagina omsloeg de plaatjes bewogen enzo. Enfin jaren verstrijken, centimeters groeien, tonnen komen aan, je groeit op, je jeudige onschuld vergaat, maar de fascinatie voor een pop-up book is altijd blijven bestaan.

Blijkt nu dat mijn jeugd nostalgie/fascinatie samen is gaan hokken met mijn volwassen liefde/fascinatie het web/net. Check It’s A Wonderful Internet, draai aan de rondjes, trek aan de pijltjes, sla de pagina’s om, en zink weer even terug naar de late eighties/ early nineties (of wanneer jouw childhood plaats vond). Als de daar te lui voor bent of te grown-up kan je altijd nog het YouTube filmpje hieronder checken. Maar zeg nou zelf, pijltjes trekken en pagina’s omslaan is toch veel leuker.

Week 48 … Sucks!

Even though I think of the glas half full rather than half empty, I am not an optimist. I like to think of myself as a realist not a pessimist.Today the realist realised  that this week SUCKED ASS!!!!!!

Why? Well first off, Winter kicked in. BLEGH! My good coat (the one that actually looks kind of nice and presentable), went to the tailor for some new lining. It’s one of those good-quality coats you can wear for like a decade. Anyway so I was stuck with wearing my -30 degrees Celsius Columbia coat which makes me feel like Yeti, The Abominable Snowman. Okay it feels warm and it is warm and keeps the wind out and keeps the rain out, but it adds like 15 k to my grand total. Which makes me feel more self aware (not in a good way).

Second of all, I strained a muscle and my ankle, which meant I couldn’t go do my 5 times a week work out, I had to downsize. Downsizing in general sucks ass, only good downsizing is going down clothing sizes. Unless you are anorexic, in that case down sizing is never a good thing! And not working out makes me feel kaka and fatique. You know what else makes me feel kaka? Not being able to eat a home cooked meal for over a week. I miss my 2 ounces of veggies and 2 pieces of fruit a day. Besides that junk/fast food does not agree with me. It makes me edgy, sweaty, gives an upset stomach, and gives me a headache! Why is there no such thing as healthy fast food for a decent price. Seriously if someone could morph the McD format into something that’s not a straight attack to my heart, I’d be their most loyal customer! Not eating nutritious, not working out, not sleeping enough, makes Kimpeezy not a happy camper.

So yeah that adds more suckiness to week 48 not being so great.

What actually made this week really really really really really suck! None of my favorite TV-shows got aired this week, BLEGH!!! Okay, I got my weekly dose of Heroes which is good. But I wanted my Gossip Girl and Ugly Betty (Yes I admit it, I watch it so what!?) Just because Americans are celebrating thanksgiving I am not allowed to watch my episodes? Selfish A–holes!shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

On the brightside … good thing I didn’t have any money to go on vacation to BOMBay Mumbai and Thailand. And no credit to worry ’bout a credit crisis hehehehehe.

Week 48 is (almost) over and done with HOOORAY for week 49!

Monday Morning Music … MOVE!

WOW! What a freaking-ow-my-goodness COLD DAY!! But good day! Started with waking up to headache, washed my face, brushed my teeth, put on my training slacks off I went on my Monday Morning Workout. 
And there you have it … this week is going to be a good week.

To kick off the good week, with some good tunes is my long gone but never forgotten and now returned favorite mc … Q-TIP! If you haven’t copped his album ‘The Renaissance’, I prefer you buy it but what the hey; download it, steel it, borrow it. I don’t care as long as you hear it and listen to it.

Awesomo! HipHop, the white rockchick singersongwriter way.

Ik ben down met hiphop, mensen verwachten het niet, maar ik ben down met EPMD, Nas, Tribe, Common, Mos Def, Erik B & Rakim, MC Lyte and alla that. I guess the ol’ saying don’t judge a book by its cover is true.
Zo zal ik dus blonde chicks, die akoestische gitaar muziek rocken ook niet beoordelen op hun hippie vibes en akkoordjes en luvie duvie songteksten.

Ik kwam vandaag Tara Ellis tegen, gewoon op het net, waar je iedereen tegen komt. Deze dame, mashed echt meesterlijk. HipHop classicks done the white rockchick singersongwriter way….. Shit is GRUWELIJK, MASTER, BASIS, TANTOE SPANG, OMIN DOPE.

Mijn fav, is big poppa en nothing but a g thang, maar ze rocken allemaal. Check Live & Die in LA
Een leuke bijkomstigheid is you can guess the classic. Dit is geen cover/copy dit is master.

Procrastination-nation

I will do it … EVENTUALLLLLY!!!

The famous line of my favorite character on the Amanda Bynes show back when I was a youngin.
And I most say this is still me when it comes to my graduation stuff. Everyday when I get up I tell myself: “Okay Kimstah this is the day, the day that kicks off your fast trainride to the end of your scholastic career!”. Mind you, I have been saying this ever since March of the 0-8. Now the 0 8 is fastly turning into the 0 9. Where is the Kimpeezy now? Still at the start line with no finish line in sight. Kind of like the toroise and the hare drama. Only this turtle, hasn’t even begon with her race.

But I feel that this day .. today… This Wednesday November 12 is finally the ‘Eventually’ I’ve been postponing too. The ruler of procrastination-nation will have one less inhabitant to rule over.

YES I CAN!
