His Royal Highness King Willem Alexander and his family, spontaneously visits the stage where Armin van Buuren plays.

You guys I am so thrilled that I live in a country where the royal family just gets off their boat with windswept hair, wrapped in fuzzy warm blankets, climb up onto the stage of a trance party and shake the musicians’ hands while fireworks go off and the orange-clad crowds below go BONKERS

mayimba82309 asked: hey quick question. how do you make a seperate page to put seperate pics without going into your main page?

I’m not sure what you mean - do you want a subpage within your current tumblr? I’m guessing you found me thru this post of mine, but is that not what you need to know?

It turns out procrastination is not typically a function of laziness, apathy or work ethic as it is often regarded to be. It’s a neurotic self-defense behavior that develops to protect a person’s sense of self-worth.

You see, procrastinators tend to be people who have, for whatever reason, developed to perceive an unusually strong association between their performance and their value as a person. This makes failure or criticism disproportionately painful, which leads naturally to hesitancy when it comes to the prospect of doing anything that reflects their ability — which is pretty much everything.

But in real life, you can’t avoid doing things. We have to earn a living, do our taxes, have difficult conversations sometimes. Human life requires confronting uncertainty and risk, so pressure mounts. Procrastination gives a person a temporary hit of relief from this pressure of “having to do” things, which is a self-rewarding behavior. So it continues and becomes the normal way to respond to these pressures.

Particularly prone to serious procrastination problems are children who grew up with unusually high expectations placed on them. Their older siblings may have been high achievers, leaving big shoes to fill, or their parents may have had neurotic and inhuman expectations of their own, or else they exhibited exceptional talents early on, and thereafter “average” performances were met with concern and suspicion from parents and teachers.

…oh. This explains a lot.

Tumblr has these moments where it just describes everything that is wrong with me.

There is that great proverb—that until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter. That did not come to me until much later. Once I realized that, I had to be a writer. I had to be that historian. It’s not one man’s job. It’s not one person’s job. But it is something we have to do, so that the story of the hunt will also reflect the agony, the travail—the bravery, even, of the lions.
