7 Wonders of the world

As you may or may not know, someone decided that we needed 7 new wonders of the world since 6 of the 'old' wonders of the world is gone. The only one left standing is the pyramids of Giza. The new list is as follows: Brazil's Statue of Christ Redeemer, Peru's Machu Picchu, Mexico's Chichen Itza pyramid, the Great Wall of China, Jordan's Petra, the Colosseum in Rome and India's Taj Mahal. Apparently over 100 million voted for these.

I didn't vote for it myself, but I've been thinking about my list. What are my 7 wonders of the world?

In no particular order:

1. Me

That's right. I am a wonder of my world. Without me, this list wouldn't exist, this blog wouldn't exist. Can you imagine a world without me?

2. Kei

She is a wonder to me. You can have your pyramids, your machu picchus, your colosseums, but nothing can replace her. My world would be missing a wonder if she wasn't here.

3. My friends

Yes, without my friends, a big part of me would be missing. I need my friends and I love them very much. Some may come and go, but you will always be special to me.

4. My family

That's a given. Without them I wouldn't be here. Wherever I go, whatever I do, they will always be there supporting me. Their support means the world to me.

5. Music

What a lifeless boring world it would be if there wasn't music. I need music. It's my passion, my joy. Music can be everything. A time machine to the past and the future, a comfort in time of need. Music is magic.

6. Love

I can't explain love, but it is a wonder of my world. It is the most powerful force I can think of. Being in love is the most amazing feeling. What can be better than that?

7. Belief

You have to have belief. We all have it, but without hope, without belief I wouldn't be able to do what I want to do. It constantly pushes me forward, making me grow as a person. That to me is amazing. Belief can really move mountains. If you believe it, it will happen.

So there you have it. My list of 7 wonders of the world. But why limit it to 7? I have many more wonders like the sun, the forest, the mountains, the ocean, the stars; the moon... the list goes on and on. Right now I am listening to music, thinking about my love Kei (who is down with fever at the moment), writing this for all my friends and family, and with strong belief that Kei will be fever free soon.

Donating your soul

I started watching this new show called Heartland. It is a doctor show that's about organ donations and the drama behind it all. Quite interesting. They haven't gotten to the religious things yet, but I know there are certain religions that won't allow donations of any kind, for example blood (I saw that in another doctor show once). I wouldn't mind my body used for science or organ donations in the future. It also got me thinking about things like my heart. Some think that love comes from the heart, but I think it is more than that. It is the soul. For me donating the heart wouldn't be like donating the soul. Not even the mind would accomplish that feat. What do you guys think about all this? Would you donate your organs in the future? Is there any part you wouldn't give away?

I guess today, everybody has the environment in mind. I am trying to watch the live earth concerts, but the streams won't let me. Well I don't need a couple of concerts to remind me that the environment needs taking care of. The earth is a gift for us, and we need to take care of it any way we can. I saw the movie An Inconvenient Truth and it was quite shocking. I hope every one of you see that movie and start to think about what to do for the environment. It needs your help.

I'm happy that football season is slowly starting up. Watched my first match today, it was just a training match, but still... It's back!

Next week I will hopefully start to exercise myself. I need a physical assessment from the physio which will hopefully happen on Wednesday and then I can start training in the gym. The physical assessment is just for protecting their arses. Everyone is afraid to get sued these days. I heard that one guy got rejected because he has high blood pressure, which is ironic because he certainly could use the gym more than others. Well we'll see how it goes. I have it from a very good source that my family has very low blood pressure.

I saw Spider-Man 3 finally, and it was great! By far the best in the Spider-Man series. I liked the two first ones, but this was just amazing stuff. I also saw Die Hard 4, and it didn’t disappoint. Easily on par with the first one, maybe even better. Enjoyed it from start to finish. Also saw Pathfinder, which has been slaughtered by both critics and people who saw it. I have to say that it wasn’t as bad as people say it is. It wasn’t great, but it was enjoyable. It wasn’t as good as the Norwegian movie Veiviseren which was the movie it was based on. I remember I saw that one in the cinema back in 1987. The Reaping was a good movie, which had a few surprises up its sleeve. Premonition was not bad, but what I liked the most about it was the soundtrack by Klaus Badelt, so I guess that says it all.
