TTT: Tessa, Train, Tiger

Meeeeeerrrry Christmasss people!

I've been looking through some older pictures lately and found something I tought would be cool to share. A couple of years ago I went on vacation in Thailand and at one point we were at a railroad at a market. Nothing too special but the train drives OVER the baskets of food and just inches away of hitting the people around. That's just a normal thing there, don't worry. Seconds after the train passes, the market just continues like nothing happened.

It's best to see it with your own eyes so take a look at the video I recorded:


Also, bonus picture, me and a baby tiger:


After seeing me playing with, and petting the cubs, some woman concluded that I would make a great father. If I ever make a tiger family, I will let her know.

I also read something eye catching in the newspaper recently. In Poppel, a small village in Flanders, there were some people protesting against the opening of a kindergarten in their neighbourhood. They are afraid their rest will be disturbed by the little devils. "When the weather is nice, they surely won't stay inside!" one of them says......

They even look proud at their protest. Say "asociaaaaaaaaal" *click*


It get's even better when the son (31) of one op the protesters, is worried too and tells us he knows how kids behave, making scratches on cars, or pulling out plants at the neighbours................urmmmm, Franky, these are toddlers, not hooligans!


I truly hope their actions are a succes and the kindergarten is never build, you don't want the neighbourhood to go to hell.  Maybe if it were a prison for top criminals the people would have felt safer.

I'm sorry to say that I haven't been as creative as I wanted lately. I only did one small sketch. Untill about 6 years ago, we had a dog named Tessa, a Britisch cocker spaniel. Tessa was my best friend and I can't count the times I laughed my ass off playing with her. Every day when I got home from school, and later from work, she was there welcoming me at the door, all happy and excited. She had ears literaly as long as my feet! When she was around 10 years old she was struck with an agressive cancer and we had to put her to sleep. I found a photo of her when looking through a photobook at my granny's place. I found her to be a beautiful dog with her black and white spots. I tried to make a cartoon version of her, since it's just impossible for me to draw realistic things.

Tessa, my beautiful dog


Tessa, cartoonised



As for music, Oasis may be split forever, their songs still stand. One of the two Irish brothers, Noel, preformed some time ago with songs from the Oasis era. Here's the live version of Don't look back in anger. 

And now, just shup up and enjoy.
