  • Burmese not backing down

    In Mawlamyaing, SPDC (government) asked the people to show support for their national reconciliation by making it compulsory for each household to send someone to attend. During the event, it started to rain and the people (mainly teachers) refused to go down to field arena and continued sitting at their seats. They also refused to say out the propaganda slogans. Soon after the event started, many people left the event and even threw away the flags on their way out.

    From: Burmanews

    Good to read this. Don’t forget people! Media attention is declining. Keep your eyes on the situation. Inform yourself! Keep other people’s attention on it. If we don’t forget, governments around the world will be forced to make a decision.

  • Last night goes into the ‘crazy’ category.

    EDIT — Forgot to include the end of the night.. fuck it. It was crazy. Alright? Alright.


    What happened? During work I got a call from James (an Erasmus student and friend from England) to see if I had time to hang out. After work we met up and somehow I got into a very outgoing state. After about half an hour James had to go to another part of the city to teach English and I went to my apartment. After sitting at my apartment for about 45 minutes and mixing some music, I decided that it would be stupid to stay inside with all the life going on outside. I decided to relive the experiences my first weeks again.So I went outside, walking towards the university, with the plan to talk to strangers and see where it would get me.

    The plan soon changed when I ran into an American guy I know called Trey. We crashed a class (come on, they were in a bar..), had a beer and then got on the bus to Studentski Grad where we would have dinner with James, Pieter (Belgium) and Emil (Holland).

    After dinner we went back to Pieter and Emil’s place and for some reason we thought it was a good idea to play a drinking game. This is where Romain (France (sorry if I misspelled your name)) After a couple of shots of beer, and a couple of shots of rum, we quit playing. Then some Bulgarian girls showed up and we all watched the newest episode of Southpark. Good times.

    Then we went to a bar. Pretty alternative place. Really cool. Forgot the name. Had some beer, had more beer, had more beer. Watched people I know make out, watched people go home together. As I was outside with Pieter we managed to run into some Belgian-Bulgarians (not sure how that worked, was a bit drunk at the time). We had a good laugh and made plans to go out tonight.

    They have my number. We’ll see what happens. That would be crazy. Their energy and our group’s energy… combined… Nuclear fusion.

  • Abbie Hoffman said…

    “The sixties. No matter what people think about the sixties. They know that young people were out in the streets, taking on the most powerful government in the world. And we didn’t win every battle. But think about what we did accomplish. Apartheid was driven out of America. We ended legal segregation. We ended the idea that you could send a million soldiers ten thousand miles away to fight some evil unjust war. We ended the idea that women are second-class citizens. And we were reckless, we were silly, arrogant and headstrong. We were right… And we didn’t mind saying so. My government has been trying to silence me my whole life. I don’t know what it is about my ideas that is so dangerous. But I say to you, you young people and to you, my, that’s my son here. It’s always the young that made change. You don’t get these kind of ideas when you’re middle-aged. The young have daring creativity and energy. They have impatience… So you take your young legs and your eagerness and your natural feelings for justice and peace and a better deal for our planet and you go out… and you make tomorrow better than it is today. You go out, and you save your country. It’s your turn now.”

    Please have a look at “Steal This Movie” on Google Video. This is the biographical film on Abbie Hoffman, a legendary protest organizer. Watch it now or bookmark it so you can see it later. You can also see it below.

    Let’s stop waiting for the next Malcolm X, MLK, Abbie Hoffman, whatever. Stop your excuses. Listen to Abbie’s words, listen to their words… “It’s your turn now”. You think they were waiting for someone to come along to lead them, as if they were livestock? No. They were more human than most of us. ACT.

  • Why you should use StumbleUpon, reason #2

    Okay, another reason why you should use StumbleUpon is something that I started using a lot quite recently. I accidentally emailed my complete GMail addressbook recently with an invite to StumbleUpon, really hate it when that happens, but it resulted in a lot of people signing up. So now, when I’m surfing the web, I use this tool included in the Stumble bar, which is just awesome. It’s the “Send to” option. Basically, whenever you’re viewing a website and you know that a particular friend of yours would really like it, you can easily send it to this friend with two mouseclicks from the main browser window. No need to log into anything or other bull****. This friend can then view whatever’s recommended with just one mouseclick from the main browser window. It’s a really awesome tool that I want to start using more. So friends, acquaintances, readers… PLEASE sign up!

    Go check out my profile, add me as a friend, I will do the same. After that, we can easily exchange links. No more hassle with instant messengers or emailing.

  • Saving the Shroom

    So it appears that they set up a way to protest the Dutch government’s decision to ban ‘magic mushrooms’. On RedDePaddo.nl there is an email you can sign which is automatically sent to the parliament and ministers. Apparently Monday afternoon, 10,000 people had signed it already… Tuesday morning, this was 20,000!

    They’re taking more initiatives than just that, so be sure to check out their website. At least SEND AN EMAIL! They also give a bunch of great reasons why these mushrooms should not be banned:

  • Bulgaria and the ‘euro’

    After a big row about the spelling of ‘euro’ in Bulgarian, finally a compromise has been found. Bulgaria, which does not yet use the euro, will spell it as ‘eur’ even though their request to spell it as evro. It’s simply ridiculous that this was turned down. In Cyrillic spelling, the Western ‘u’ is spelled as a v. ‘Auto’ is spelled as ‘avto’, Europe as Evropa and there are a lot more examples. If I understand the language well enough, ‘eur’ would be pronounced as separate vowels instead of the ‘eu’ sound that we know.

    Not allowing Bulgaria to use their own spelling is really quite foolish. Bureaucrats.
