Let it Snow!
Blogging Topics
Firstly, thanks to everyone who read and commented on my previous blog about Internet Flamers. Secondly, I received suggestions about topics to blog. Some individuals think I should blog about my own opinions about e-Sports, some suggest that I share personal experiences and events from my life(and Grubby), some requested for blogs with pictures from the LAN tournaments.
I think I will do some of everything. When I am at home, I blog about whatever topics comes to mind, whatever I would like to share. It can be a general topic like my previous blog, or it may be personal.
When I am at LAN tournaments, I'll make a blog report complete with pictures. (Events coming up are: Intel Friday Night at Cologne - Grubby vs Fire.de [8th February], NGL-one at Berlin [21st-25th February] and Samsung Euro Championship/Extreme Masters at Cebit, Hannover [5th-8th March]). Looks like we will be visiting Germany alot the coming month. :)
Snow in Netherlands - Night of 2nd February 2008
It was around 1.45am when Mom told us it started to snow outside. It doesn't snow very often in Netherlands at all, usually a few days of the winter each year. We grabbed a trench coat, wore it over our pyjamas, and ran outside. Wow... the sight that greeted us was so beautiful and enchanting!
“The future lies before you, like paths of pure white snow. Be careful how you tread it, for every step will show.”
The view taken from our front door
“There is nothing in the world more beautiful than the forest clothed to its very hollows in snow. It is the still ecstasy of nature, wherein every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed, every intricacy of twig, is clad with radiance.”
~William Sharp quotes ((pseud. Fiona MacLeod) Scottish Poet, 1855-1905)
The carpark infront of our house - all cars were covered in snow.
Grinning happily!
“Kindness is like snow - it beautifies everything it covers”
That's the mini basketball court where we challenge each other with shooting games, and i win every single time! :p
Me and a very cold Grubby.
"The Eskimo has fifty-two names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love."
~Margaret Atwood

Let it Snow!
Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.
~John Ruskin

The little hill behind our house.
It's snowing heavier by the minute.
Me looking for a clean place to make a snow angel. Oops, you can see my pyjamas pants! :p
"When it snows, you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels”
Making a snow angel!
There! My Snow Angel! :D
The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?
~J. B. Priestley

Meanwhile Grubby tries to make one too.
Snow provokes responses that reach right back to childhood.

Not as pretty as mine. :p
More Snow quotes I adore:
To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality because of race or color is like living in Alaska and being against snow.
~William Faulkner
It's a pity one can't imagine what one can't compare to anything. Genius is an African who dreams up snow.
~Vladimir Nabokov
In any man who dies there dies with him his first snow and kiss and fight. Not people die but worlds die in them.
~Yevgeny Yevtushenko
I played a heap of snow in a school play. I was under a sheet, and crawled out when spring came. I often say I'll never reach the same artistic level again.
~Stellan Skarsgard
“I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.”
~Henry David Thoreau quotes (American Essayist, Poet and Philosopher, 1817-1862)
“Courage is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go; it is the fragile blossom that opens in the snow.”
~Alice M. Swaim quotes

Thats the good thing about extreme weather only some of the time is that you can enjoy it. There must be a good range of weather in the Netherlands.

I remember when an african boy came to my town to train in local football club, then he saw snow for the 1st time in his life. he was in a shock, whole team had to calm him down during that practice hour and explain what's "snow". Was kinda funny to see that things we take for granted others see as little miracles.
If force won't work, use greater force.

I wish it snowed in Orange County California, but alas, we continue our warm sunny weather! Although the past few weeks there's been some rain, but never has there been snow here since its a chaparral environment at sea level...

That's nice but Cassandra's angel is looking really better.
I must say that's the "fucking handsome" snow angel (sorry Nordahl) xD Maybe next time, Grub ;) P.S. Read as good as always. P.S.S. Thank you for that: "Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

Entertaining read :) And that is a lot of snow, haven't seen snow for a while... at least no white snow. The snow in Beijing was more grey and dirty then white :( I am not sure if ppl know there what is the original colour of it.....
Some ppl come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay ever!

I suppose snow is fun for those who don't see it that often. As for me, I'm not a big fan of snow.
How do you do, my name is Trouble.

I belive the eskimo has 32 words for love =) or at least Sue Monk Kidd says so in "Secret life of bees". Guess love is also kinda important to an eskimo.

I havent seen a single snow flake in six years. Something Ive missed alot from my hometown. My favorite thing to do was walk through the woods as the sun broke the horizon. A very beautiful sight. On the other side of the coin though its Febuary and Im sitting here in a pair of shorts with 2 fans on. ;)
