UFO Sighting in London



the way this looks, it could just be the moon.



Yes, another sighting. And this time it's actually quite close to home for me. Okay yes it's a 6 hour drive to the UK, but in theory it's just over the North Sea.

Today a new video emerged on the BBC website, of 5 flying disks above the BBC building.
Several people that were passing by noticed the disks and ofcourse immediately got out their iPhone/Camera whatever, they filmed it and made sure they got on camera.
Many people are sceptical about the pictures, ofcoure photoshop can do wonders these days, so adding a few disk looking objects into the sky is peanuts. And I must admit, I was a bit sceptical when I saw the title. But the video does show that there are some weird things going on in the sky these days.

The E.T. aren't as subtle as they used to be ...

Anyway, so you can see it for yourself right ? Flying objects in the sky. Impossible to be an aircraft, since they don't make those sudden changes of direction. And I don't exactly know what else it could be.

We'll probably hear from this again.

Panda or Puppy ? Tiger or Retriever ?

The latest trend in China is to dye pets to make them look like other animals.
Like you can see on the picture, a golden retriever has been dyed to look like a tiger and chow chow pups have been dyed to look like pandas.

Dyeing pets has been around for a while now, at the major Pets Show Taipei there were plenty of dogs that had been dyed in to all kinds of different colours. But Dyeing pets to make them look like different animals is a whole new concept.

This is also shows that Asian countries have changed a lot, involving dogs and other animals.
10 years ago dogs were still served as a meal in restaurants and they were raised on farms for that purpose. Traditional Chinese medicine so called 'fragrant meat' that could fortify someone's life was also based on dog meat.
But nowadays, eating dogs is nearly an embarrassement. It reminds people of when they were poor.
If you want to show great wealth then get a dog, dye it to look like a tiger, and compete in dog shows.

It's a cool and nice concept, as long as it stays 'animal friendly'. So I hope for the dogs sake that it doesn't have any weird side effects !

Gay Marriage

Well well, gay marriage has been legalised in NYC.
I was actually really surprised to hear that, so now 5 states in the U.S. allow same sex marriage aka gay marriage. Ofcourse there's still 3 dozen states that define marriage as a connection between a man and a women. But we'll just have to take it one step at a time.

Here in Belgium, being gay isn't that much of a deal. Yes ofcourse we've got the haters, but there's also the lovers. Back in May it was Rainbow week. In Lanaken ( that's a city in Belgium, I've got some good friends there) they we're handing out the festival bands/bracelets. They've got the rainbow colors and on them they've written 'TOLERO' which is derived from tolerant, meaning you don't mind wether someone is straight, gay, lesbian or bisexual. I myself am wearing one as well. I think it's important that people can show the world who they really are and that they don't have to worry about what other people think. The rainbow week was a big succes and over
3 000 bracelets we're handed out in schools.

In America something like this would be out of the question. It's still a very religious country and being a christian is still a big thing there.
Religion has faded a bit here. Yes we still have people going to church, yes we've still got religious education in our schools. But it doesn't have a big impact on the youngsters here anymore. I still go to a Catholic school. And we still have our annual church service that we have to attend to. But apart from that I doubt that hardly anyone who goes to my school attends any church service, unless it's for a wedding, christening or funeral.

I also have the privilige of having gay friends. Okay now I'm just making them sound special. But really they aren't any different from anyone else. They're humans and like other humans, they're a lot of fun !
In the big cities here in Belgium there are some gay clubs and even my straight friends go there. It's a totally different atmosphere there, apparently more fun. I haven't been to any of them, mainly because I'm to young. But if I could, I would. You know what I mean ?

There are a lot of different opinions about this subject, and I know not everyone shares mine.
But I'm entitled to it, just like you're entitled to your opinion.
