Subliminal Stimuli
Subliminal stimuli are messages/sounds/images which are hidden in a medium. The stimuli are too short to be noticed consciously, but can be noticed by people's unconscious mind. Their goal is to change someone's behavior. The effect has never been proved and is probably nothing more than a placebo effect.
However, some people are convinced that there are hidden messages everywhere! Some even think that they occur in Disney Movies and could have a bad influence on children. Just watch this video, I'm curious what you think of it. I think there is one word for it: ridiculous!

It's Not Over Yet
It's Not Over Yet is a great song from Klaxons. But now I stumbled upon this version by Goldfrapp and that one is very pure and beautiful. Sounds like a completely different song.
TwentyTen: the first quarter

I had a feeling that TwentyTen would be my year of growth. It would be my year of development and my year of working towards a better me. I don't know what exactly gave me that feeling. Maybe it's because this year is the start of a new decade, an opportunity for a fresh start. Maybe it's because I turn 20 this year. Or maybe it's because I have been fed up with the way I lived my life.
But the reason why doesn't really matter. What matters is that I want to grow, I want to evolve, I want to change!
The first months of 2010 were definitely not easy. There was a huge change in my life and it wasn't a nice one. Looking backwards it was all for the best and it needed to happen, but at that moment it sucked.
What gives me strength right now is that I coped with it. It took some time, but hey, I survived! They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I'm starting to believe there's some truth in those words. This was something I had to go through to be able to grow as a person.
But as a result of that difficult period, my inspiration was completely gone. The words didn't seem to come. Even things that used to give me instant inspiration - like photographs, music, quotes and magazines - seemed to have lost their magic touch.
Now - some weeks later - my inspiration is slowly starting to return. I am feeling good an I am a happy girl. I write and the words seem to start flowing again. Oh my, how much I have missed that!
So I'm sorry if I may have been away for a while, or at least less active. I have been neglecting my online life. But I'm back and I have grown!

One Day Like This
Just because it fills me with love every time I listen to it. And because this live version is ridiculously good.
