Critical reflection of a myself

 I reflected on myself when I felt that this gesture was the right one. I admired Sofia Krainska’s raised clenched fist. At the same time, I recognize that people can hold complex and sometimes seemingly contradictory views.

For example, I am a fan of the New York Islanders. Isles goaltender, Ilya Sorokin, has often been the player who keeps the team in the game. I also prefer Sorokin on the Isles over the Czech goaltender David Rittich. Rittich cannot even be the number one goalie for the Isles, and I would rather see Semyon Varlamov return to the Islanders from Bridgeport, as Varlamov was also better than Rittich. 

In electronic music, there are also artists and figures whom I admire, even if others might see this as conflicting with the opinions I expressed after seeing Krainska’s gesture. 

What I value most, however, is the willingness to stand by one’s principles. This is something I saw in both Sofia Krainska and Varvara Chubarova, whose refusal to compromise their convictions earned my respect. 

These days

“When I turn, in the moment, feel the same.” 

 

    The afterparty after the Sunday by the Sea lasted until 3 a.m. I had to convince myself to finally end the unexpected Sunday event. I was planning to go to Luxembourg city and France for a while on Monday. 

For two hours, I danced on the bed. Like a silent disco, the same trance song kept looping over and over — Hot As Hades (John O’Callaghan Remix). Sometimes I imagined my own lyrics in place of the original words. These days, and the first truly summer-like days of the year. It was a huge euphoria, the feeling that I also could have been somewhere else. Looking back now, I’m almost surprised by the level of euphoria I was in — from Sunday into Monday, dancing half-naked on the bed while looking out the windows. 

I had already drunk two Dutch beers before 8 p.m. on Sunday. I laughed about the fact that I was drinking an ordinary Dutch blackcurrant lemonade — it tasted unbelievably good to me. It’s actually pretty strong. Looking back today, I can’t even remember exactly why I laughed so much about that lemonade, pretty strong. I only have a photo of myself half-naked with the drink, when I forced myself to take a picture of that amazing ordinary lemonade from Zeeland.

Dry as Consciousness

 I have published posts several times about land management of different types Europe. In Central Europe, people usually complain about droughts and unbearable heat during warm days. 

I myself am shocked by the dryness in Central Europe when I know the reality of the Netherlands, Luxembourg, or Western Germany. 

This shock of dryness has led me once again to reflect on cultural principles in Central Europe and Western Europe. 

Some might say it is due to climate change. In reality, however, it is not only about climate itself, but about the way the landscape has been modified and managed over decades. 

I do not want to go into the reasons again; I am simply sharing my shock at how unbearable it feels…

ChatGPT also knows only statistics, and therefore knows about the climate and landscape only from a virtual environments, but this piece is something I see in different landscapes of Europe. 

  “One of the biggest problems of the Central European landscape is its low water retention capacity. During the last century, large-scale interventions in nature took place across Central Europe:

* rivers were straightened,

* wetlands were drained,

* drainage systems were built,

* fields were merged into enormous agricultural plots.

These changes were intended to increase agricultural efficiency. Water was supposed to drain from the fields as quickly as possible so that machinery could operate without limitations. In the long term, however, this approach caused the landscape to stop retaining water.

Today, when heavy rain comes, the water often:

* quickly runs off the surface,

* flows into rivers,

* does not soak deeply into the soil.

The result is that the landscape dries out rapidly during hot periods.” 

Karen Foster: A Gegenwelt

Rimmel sweeties

 Karen would probably have expressed herself much more directly — not just calling it disgusting.

The inspection itself was apparently fine. What was not fine, however, was the criticism of self-care that seemed “too excessive” for a man at the borderline.

What is bold about it is that the more western part of Europe knows someone precisely because elsewhere that person’s personality and self-care were the reason.

I was also amused that although people know who they are speaking to, they do not realize that this very reason is why someone is know…

Even before everyone knew someone, I used to say that I liked how even my clothes still smelled of this country days after I returned--and I also did research into why that is. I thought about it in relation to a relationship — under certain circumstances, it probably would not look this way so much in this space.

Yet hygiene and cosmetic products are not against the system — they are part of the system itself. A sweet business…

“These were literally remarks about hygiene and cosmetic products that were found on top of the backpack while showing them to someone else.”

The Rimmel was the golden highlight of the discovery. I didn’t understand what I was supposed to explain about Rimmel. Although it seemed like when was expecting a reaction rather than eye-rolling…

Articles are often focused on this subject of self-care. And I praise the West, because sometimes I search more difficultly for values in the Central region. There also were names of an influencers about this theme.

It is the 21st century; as they say, civilization is no longer an age long gone. It should be like a flower that constantly strives to become more civilized — more beautiful, delaying aging and death. A forever life…

There is nothing about life that still has to follow what applied in the last century. Life can always be extended further and further. In an exaggerated version, silicone breasts and other body modifications are part of it too.

Sometimes I answer myself that it is like not going to the dentist, or not wearing braces.

In a my case, Schwarzkopf hair gel for men’s was also a surprise. When I look at Central and the West, people in the West also use hair gel more…

In every sense of this piece, this looks like a kind of “conservatism” toward human progress in self-care. 

For me, it is incomprehensible that someone would be surprised. 

The inspection had already started when a one said where the man was going right now. A truth is that it is legal in most parts of that “vacation” country, also for people from other countries. I have always this question, why everyone would even bring it from another country where, a truth is that it is since the beginning of 2026, it has been highly legal anyway in this country, but in the Netherlands everyone can buy it almost everywhere too.
