Green Day
The advantage of listening to the radio on a mobile phone is that you get the author and the title of the songs you are listening to. A quick search later you can check out the lyrics.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don’t know where it goes
But it’s home to me and I walk aloneI walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I’m the only one and I walk aloneI walk alone
I walk aloneI walk alone
I walk a…..My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk aloneAh-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ahI’m walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk aloneRead between the lines
What’s fucked up and everything’s all right
Check my vital signs to know I’m still alive
And I walk aloneI walk alone
I walk aloneI walk alone
I walk a…My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk aloneAh-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ahI walk alone
I walk aI walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I’m the only one and I walk aMy shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Luck sells
Luck can be used to make products more desirable. Good luck charms, horse shoes, four leave clovers, they have all found a good market with people seeking good fortune. The royal dutch min is also trying to get some of the action in the good luck market. After the 2012 good luck 10 cent coin issued especially for the football competition (and failing to be really lucky) there is now a new 2014 lucky 10 cents coin aimed at good luck throughout the year. The coins are sold for 4.95 euro so they should provide a healthy profit. The coins can be recognized by some orange paint over the number 10 and they are sold in the popular coin-card format. This discrete layer of paint also renders the coins legally worthless.
The amount of coins that will be painted and packaged will be determined later, probably based on the number of orders that will be placed. This is the first colored coin from 2014 and it looks like colored coins are getting more popular. In addition to the royal Dutch mint there are also various other companies offering colored coins, which is legal because the colored coins are no longer legal forms of tender. The colored coins painted by the royal Dutch mint until now are:

Colors
Sound is a very direct form of stimulation. Sound waved go directly to your mind. Images can be stopped by simply closing your eyes, but sound waves are more difficult to stop. Sometimes when I listen to music shivers run down my spine and I get a feeling of euphoria, warmth and happiness.
The euphoria I experience is comparable to the feeling you get after a heavy physical exercise. After running 10 kilometers you get the feeling that you can take on the world. Your mind feels focused and thinking becomes easy. You clearly notice that adrenaline and endorfines are pumping through your body.
Then driving my car I always have the radio turned on and sometimes I have a similar experience. A song on the radio combined with my emotions on that moment have an incredible effect. The same affect after running 10 kilometers, but so much stronger. Suddenly I have absolute confidence in the future and absolute confidence in myself. It feels like I’m flying, with light and warmth all around me. Problems, worries and insecurities disappear and my path through the future becomes clear. Difficult choices I must make become easy. On these moments it seems like all my senses are enhances and I know that everything will be okay.
When you find that life is neither black or white
And the rain outside turns to glory
You’ll see colorsWhen you mark the sky and the sun comes through
Know your greatest days are ahead of you
You’ll see colorsA spark of light will seize the night
And reach beyond your vivid mind
There’s an end to your darkest day
You’ll see colorsA race of shame if we don’t evolve
Paint your dreams
Fill the sky with art
And ignite with the others
When we see colors
The clown
Guilty pleasures. A song that you like to hear but still you feel a little ashamed to admit it. This basically holds true for all the music related posts on this blog. Here is a nice dutch song, which fits nicely in this category.

This needs to be done in the following manner:

The coordinates refer a a place somewhere on earth. A place we wanted to go a long time ago, but we never did. Will this be the occasion where we do realize one of our dreams?
