Nanu, nanu, Robin Williams

This is a man who, as far as I'm concerned, could have gone on living for ever and ever; his brilliant gags and the enormous capacity of putting himself in someone else's place, in roles as well as in daily life, as far as I've understood.

I have a splendid collection shows and of his standup comedian videos.*

Being fed up with life doesn't mean someone is unhappy.

I am fed up with life often enough. I am not unhappy but often I don't see why I should live for a long time to come.

[I used to think that the worst thing in life would be ending up alone.
That's not so, it's worse to end up with someone that makes you feel lonesome

Sometimes I think that 62 years of intensive living is quite long. Robin was 63.

That's why I think that a man like Robin Williams with his even more intensive way of living has every right to say: "This far, no further", for whatever reason.

Suicide fits somehow in the lives of hyperactive, high IQ-ed, people with a fantastic sense of special sense of humor (so does an addiction by the way). 

I just can't imagine such a lively person waiting another 20 years or so for the end to come** 

I just wanted to say that he was an allround mensch:

More than that...he was still amazingly allround 20 years later

Truely allround:  Clip for Amnesty

Amazing Robin: 

Robin Williams was a person of whom I think that he's been here before and will be back one day.***

Robin Williams overleden

*{Dit is nou zo'n man die wat mij betreft eeuwig had mogen leven, met zijn briljante kwinkslagen en enorme mogelijkheid om zich in anderen te verplaatsen, zowel in de rollen als ook in het dagelijks leven, heb ik begrepen. Ik heb een prachtige collectie stand-up comedian filmpjes.}

** {Genoeg hebben van het leven zegt mij niet dat iemand ongelukkig was. Ik heb zo vaak genoeg van dit alles, ik ben niet ongelukkig maar ik heb vaak niet de noodzaak om nog erg lang te leven. Soms denk ik dat 62 jaar intensief al veel is. Daarom denk ik dat een man als Robin Williams met een nog intenser leven het goed recht heeft om te zeggen: "Tot hier en niet verder" om welke reden dan ook.}

 ***{Robin Williams was zo iemand waarvan ik denk dat hij hier al eerder was en ook wel weer terugkomt.}

Nanu Nanu Robin Williams!

Watch the expression of these animals when they see you naked:

I hope they will get used to it;-)

Songs from my past

Just because they're such lovely songs and they bring back so many memories.....

You must remember this

A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh

The fundamental things apply

As time goes by

And when two lovers woo

They still say, "I love you"

On that you can rely

No matter what the future brings

As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs

Never out of date

Hearts full of passion

Jealousy and hate

Woman needs man

And man must have his mate

That no one can deny

it's still the same old story

A fight for love and glory

A case of do or die

The world will always welcome lovers

As time goes by

-----------------

Moonlight and love songs

Never out of date

Hearts full of passion

Woman needs man

And man must have his mate

That no one can deny

A fight for love and glory

A case of do or die

The world will always welcome lovers

As time goes by

I am getting older and older, much older than I was supposed to get  about 20 years ago.

Sometimes I tend to dig up pieces of the past, fishing for good memories, like this song I sang as a young girl (47 years ago), not knowing I would see a lot more than I could have wished for.

 Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;

Nobody knows my sorrow.

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;

Glory, Hallelujah!

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down;

Oh, yes, Lord.

Sometimes I'm almost to the groun',

Oh, yes, Lord.

I wish that I could find a way;

Oh, yes, Lord,

But life is just one long, rainy day;

Oh, yes, Lord.

Glory, Hallelujah!

Solo singing was sort of a punishment of my musicteacher Kors Monster who knew he would never get me on stage without a reason. I don't remember what I did to deserve it.
 It was a strickt ánd Christian school, so it was easy for me to make mistakes...

But now, as time goes by I get more and more disapointed. 

I had dreams: I have always wished for my children and my grandchildren and all the other children everywhere, to inherrit a better world from us. Because I thought and still think that we have all the ingredients for a splendid life for everyone. There is more than enough of everything  for everybody. But I fear things have to get even worse before they'll get better.

But I never lost hope.... and I hope I never will.

When you walk

Through a storm

Hold your head, up high

And don't be afraid, of the dark

At the end of the storm

Is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song

Of a lark

Walk on, through the wind

Walk on, through the rain

Though your dreams be tossed

And blown

Walk on, walk on

With hope, in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

You´ll never walk, alone

You'll never walk, alone

Never ;-)
