Good Times
Most of the time I wonder what will come next, how i could anticipate this happening and what can be needed to improve the progress during this time. Often I also reflect an evaluate the methods applied during this time. Sometimes i am critical of the chosen procedures, sometimes i am content and every once and a while i am happy. This is not say i am not a happy person. Happiness is an essential ingredient of the methods applied to undergo life in a positive and possible creative way.
Usually i choose a way that involves a repetitive pattern of similar challenges that have lead to satisfaction. Love being the most important method, Family being the most applied area. Loyalty to these help me determine the easiest path for my self to explore chances, run processes and accomplish a feeling of independence and respect.
(Bullshit, of which life is full, is a hazard. Bullshit leads to offensive behaviour and lack of trust in time, and energy if you wish....money has little to do with anything really)
This weekend i enjoyed the company of my girlfriend, my father, my mother, my brother, my stepmother, my stepfather, my stepsister, my dog, my stepdog in the comfort of a childhood home (ages 13-17) in Scheveningen.
I would suggest that these pictures are firm evidence of "a good time"

It was after the Gulf War that his mother and boyfriend at the time decided to 'descend' from the Holy land and set sail towards The Hague, being the birthplace of Even-Zohars
mother. Jonathan managed well in Grade school and High school, so the
next logical step was the University, the infinite source of knowledge.
After speculating on Industrial Design, Social Geography and Journalism
it was the study of History at Leiden that turned out to be his
decision.
Now, four years into the study, matters have only become more
complicated as this student advances towards World History; meaning the
complete array of fields a historian may implement in explaining the
entire past of the entire world to fellow men. It is especially the
philosophical character of World History that attracted Jonathan.
For him there is only one question that stands above all others like a
lonely chuchtower in some Flemish village, which asks the cause of the
Western Rise and the Industrial Revolution. Furthermore, the role of the
European self- and worldimage throughout its history may explain the
role of Europe in the Eurasian Human Web. Thus, the direct contact
between Islam and Christianity is to be investigated. Were Muslims
constantly on the verge of invading Europe? How did Arab people perceive
the 'barbaric' Christians? How was Science spread and how did the West
pick up knowledge form the Arabs or from further East? Europe and the
Islam are still not at peace, certainly not in the mind.
