Thinking. That’s what I do a lot, about all kind of things. I like thinking about how the human mind works, human behaviour and about things that make me wonder. Not that I’m a philosopher, but I’d like to give it a try. Let me give you a piece of my mind. And maybe that will give you something to think about.

Fireworks. Why?
It’s almost the end of the year. Just a few more days and the big countdown till midnight begins. And then there it is: fireworks. All those people – mostly men - lighting their rockets into the sky. It’s the moment they’ve been waiting for for days, weeks or maybe months.
I don’t really get why people like fireworks that much. Some spend a fortune on something that’s nice to look at for a few seconds before it just vanishes into the sky. Maybe it’s just the thrill of lighting something that will explode, the risk and the danger. Would that really be the main reason to buy and light fireworks; the exploding part? Or is it the pretty sight? You tell me.
Well, it’s not always a pretty sight. You also have those annoying loud firecrackers. Stupid things. I don’t see the purpose of those things at all. It just explodes and makes noise. Maybe I just don’t understand because I’m a girl. As you can tell I don’t have a thing for fireworks. I’m quite afraid of it (seriously, I’m even scared to hold a sparkler) and it’s too loud. But, to be fair, without it New Year’s Eve wouldn’t be complete.
I know where I will be January 1st from 0.00 till about 0.30. Yep, safely inside, behind the window. Looking at all the morons shooting their money into the sky.

I wish you all:
May you be surrounded by loved ones.
May you give and get a lot of presents.
May your bellies be full - but not too full.
And a happy New Year!
May 2012 be better than last year.
Be careful with fireworks!
Give everyone your best wishes!

‘That once happened to me too!’
You’re talking to a friend about the crazy things that happened to you last weekend. And then your friend totally runs over your story with an even crazier story than yours.
Recognized it? I think most people do. I know sometimes act the same way as the friend with the surpassed story. But I try not to, because I know how annoying it can be. Especially when someone does that every time you tell something. Yeah, those people exist...
Maybe it’s a natural thing. I don’t mean the surpassing, but I think when someone tells you a story about an event, it reminds you of a similar event you were engaged in. And to continue the conversation, you tell the similar thing that happened to you. Sometimes that’s a surpassing event and sometimes it’s not. But it does kind of draw away the attention to the first story.
