Hooping and Juggling

I got a tumblr

2011-07-05T01:48:00.000-07:00

Alright so I finally got a tumblr as well. I decided to be a little more present online.
linkey link

I'll use the tumblr for pictures (my own mostly I guess, at least I shall try to keep it my own mainly) and some hooping videos of course. But I shall update the same as well on here, so no worries :)
I haven't really gotten the hang of this whole blogging business yet. But I have the summer off now and I can finally dedicate my time to the things that really matter to me and that would be hooping and art making. yay
i will keep you updated on this summers progress.

love and peace

my new love

2011-05-28T09:10:00.000-07:00

Okay so in January this year I started hooping and I have never loved anything as much as I love hooping. It has already changed my life and does so everyday that i step into my circle.

check out my youtube channel for my first attempts at hoop videos. I cannot wait for summer, to be able to hoop outside and profit from the space in the open instead of my small room. Also I would love to connect with other hoopers and share the love and the tricks. If you are anywhere around the Netherlands or Berlin give me a buzz. I'd like to meet you!!

love and peace

let's all be happy instead

For all those of you who've had enough of this gray and snowy winter. I needed some colors and then this happy balloon came along and joined in and suddenly put a smile on everyone's face. Go ahead and let's all be happy instead!!!!

the balloon is not a steady part, it can be replaced by anything the hand
can hold, flowers are in next :)

Right now I doing a series of bodyparts molded on canvas. its all girls, because women are just beautiful and inspiring. I just go with the situational emotions that give form to the painting. so all are their own inspiration sort of.

losing the lost

2009-07-06T06:49:00.000-07:00

where do we go from here?
with the flowers long gone
the voices of the city calling
figures rising out of the night
with their cat-like eyes
where do I follow?
where do I lead?

someone sleeps and someone cries
in the soulcountry tonight
little girl what are you doing?
you're not supposed to be acting
in this drama of
21st century sex and
future fetishism
bondage bound
to no real love

up up and away

2009-06-23T06:54:00.000-07:00

rien ne vas plus
screaming lights
confusing pole dance
whispering
"please tell me who I am"

This old cabin in the woods
bears my picture
covered with dust
of old times memories
that nobody wants to leave prints on

come pick me up
up up and away
up up and away
we go where no shadows follow

I see you there
like I can't find you
your heart in my dreams
keep me where I belong

where does it leave you
can I reach
now
forever
sooner or later
up up and away

yours ;)

I didn't say " I love you"
coz that's what everybody says
without thinking
without meaning
instead I looked at you
I really looked and tried to see
and I kissed you
I really kissed and tried to feel
and I knew
that we both know that it's good

2009-06-12T02:16:00.000-07:00

In human mental shortcuts
i freeze you
on my account
and your credit
freezing breath never meant to kill
the fine line between winning and loosing
could not be whispering louder

and then I see you
on coming home
a flickering image (one second or two)
of what I thought long lost
to stay forever
in this undoubtful meaning of it all

you, me, us, you
forever, today maybe
can we? do we want?
who asks questions, who answers
tell me the definition of truth

Is it too late on the platform
to realize that you don't know which way to go
what potential lies in direction
what fear lies in staying
where is time to think
where reference to grasp
where reliance to breathe in
when the train arrives in split seconds
what meaning lies in decision?
