Semester One, conclusion

2007-12-14T01:06:00.000+01:00

I've learned a lot in the past few months. Not much more to add than that.
I've decided to start a company with my brother Joe, it seems like the logical thing to do. It also feels right. I can't imagine anymore working for someone.
I am too eager and curious to become an entrepreneur: building and growing a company from the ground up. My plans of world domination are becoming a reality :)

Other stuff:
I'm going to India, Mumbai to be exact, in January for a school trip. Hopefully I will get such a culture shock that I will return a changed person. The single most frightening thing though, is the disease issue. I'm just not used to being in an environment with so many health threats. And being the hygiene freak that I am, I'm likely to flip out a few times and overindulge in disinfectant wipes, iodine, bug repellent and anti-bacterial soap. I've already had my first round of vaccinations.
We'll see what happens.

The big city - ROTTERDAM!

2007-09-13T21:33:00.000+02:00

So, i've finally moved out of my parents' house and into a nice student room in the center of Rotterdam.
I like it. I live on the 8th floor, i have a spectacular view of the river and the south shore, theres a T3 connection in the building (I love that) and my classes seem to be more interesting than my previous study.
I've started a new study by the way.
I'm doing a Master of Science in Business Administration. I'm specializing in Entrepreneurship and New Business Venturing. My hopes are to start my own business soon and I thought this would be good preparation.
So far, so good. Except these academic articles.
I cannot believe that people actually get credit for these amounts of bullshit.
In the words of Will Ferrel: Its mind-bottling.
Thats all for now.

The return to Blogspot

2007-06-25T02:19:00.000+02:00

SO I haven't been to this site in almost 6 months.
Why would I? I mean no one really reads this and there is not much point to it..
But, what else am I gonna do at 2:20 AM in the morning when I don't feel like sleeping?

Here goes something..

Recently, I turned 22. Not much more to be added. Except that I had a great night. Very awesome birthday. During the day I studied for my GMAT exam, then I partied and got laid.
Like it should be.

Oh yea, I did a GMAT exam because its a requirement for the Rotterdam School of Management. Pompous boot-lickers. Ahwell, I don't care. I did it, got a pretty good score, now i'm just waiting for their reply. I really need to get back into school... I've been sitting around at home and it's driving me up the walls. So, fingers crossed that come September, I'll be in a new city meeting new people, learning how to take over the world.
Anyway, I'm at the training center that offers the GMAT to people, and get this: in order to verify my identity and 'log me in' my ID was checked and then a picture of me was taken AND then they took my fingerprint. THREE TIMES!
I guess my days of being 'off the radar' are over... They have my fingerprint now..
Wankers..

In other news; I worked as a private tutor for the last few months to highschool kids. It paid quite decently, until the school year ended..
Now I found a part time job at the local cinema. I figure, if I'm going to work a low paying job for a few weeks, it might as well be something close to what I love. In this case, movies.
I'll work a few days per week, make some cash that will pay for my holiday plans.
Wacken, Summer Darkness, and a fetish party with Margreet.

Thats all I have for now.

Tune in, toke up, and zone out.

"This is the End, my only friend...the End"

2007-01-31T09:43:00.000+01:00

If you don't know that Doors song, you suck.

So its finally here. The end of my internship here at the Embassy. I've been keeping the boredom away with several activities, but no more.
I am soon returning to Holland, the country I am most comfortable in.
Today the goodbyes and the final sucking up is going to happen.
I need to ask the Ambassador for a letter of recommendation, my supervisor for one, and one more thing that I can't really publicize. Sensitive info, if you know what I mean.
All in all, I think it was a useful experience.
I know that I'm not really cut out for this kind of job, I'm too alive for it. I like freedom too.
Government positions are only interesting at the top. And I don't have time for that shit.
I'm too eager to start right away.

So I shall return to Holland. I have two job interviews lined up for now. Hopefully I can get one, if not, then I spend 7 months doing something at home... can't imagine what.
In September I would like to go back to school and get my Masters degree. I've found a good program in Rotterdam, at the Erasmus. Thats where the recommendation letter from the Ambassador comes in. He studied there and I would like his support in convincing the Admissions board that I'm a fit candidate for that school.
And now for something completely different.

I gotta go make a dookie.

I can be a nobleman for just 12 dollars

2007-01-18T09:36:00.000+01:00

This is pretty cool.
I wouldn't mind having a noble title.
And its only 12 bucks..
I'm seriously thinking about it..

http://ladonia.net/docs/citizenship.html

I can be a Lord of Ladonia... awesome..

Not much fairness

2007-01-17T09:26:00.000+01:00

My plans were kind of shattered.
I wanted to go to Vienna in September(2007) to do a Master study. Unfortunately, the university will not offer that program until 2009. So, I'm not going.
I'm staying Holland for another while, don't know how long exactly.
It kind of pisses me off because Vienna is my favorite city and living there is a dream.
I wonder which party-pooper is responsible.

Anyways, it looks like I will be spending the coming months in Arnhem, with my mother (yay), and doing something to keep myself occupied. No idea what that will be yet.
I need money, so I guess I'll find some crappy part time job or something.
Need money for the summer, for the festivals and concerts I want to go to.

Anyone know about a decent job?

New Blog look and a new Theory

2006-12-16T11:46:00.000+01:00

So i decided to change my blog look, i find that it is now easier on the eyes and easier to read.
So, enjoy the new but slightly boring look.

And now the new "THEORY"
A few days ago i had a discussion with Chris, a good friend of mine, and we ended up discussing how a girls looks affects her character, if if at all, its the other way around.
Given that a girl is born with good genes and grows a nice pair of tits, will that asset turn her into a shallow whore? Or do all whores just have great bodies?
Is there a correlation?
I mean, sure there are exceptions, like some nuns. But who knows what they do after hours in the nunnery. Nunning themselves probably nun-fully.

However, I think that if a girl is of the right mental state (not necessarily the "correct" one) and she has a great body - she will end up a shallow slut. She will realize early on that she is a sex object and can get through life using that 'asset', hence dismissing any other elements in life that build a decent human being.
I'd like to hear some other opinions.
comment away.

Stumbling onward

2006-12-12T13:34:00.000+01:00

It been a while since I posted, the main reason being that there isn't much to tell.
The newest development in my life now is that I'm looking for a new job.
In the Netherlands by the way.
This country, Slovakia, is totally FUBAR.
I mean, the Government is a group of lying butt-puppets.
The infrastructure is in a level of chaos comparable to the particles in the universe.. on acid.
The people here are mostly shallow and bitter and vomit-inducing.
I've heard some opinions praising this place as a "new opportunity". That there are things to be done, the economy is growing fast, business is blooming and wealth is increasing.
FUUUUUCKK OFFFF!
That opinion is as biased as a bribed rabbit's claim that shit is good for your skin.
Sure the economy is growing, but nobody ever asks where exactly its growing and if at all its helping the nation. Slovakia is a stereotypical case of "the privileged few and 'getting it in the ass sideways' many"...
There is opportunity here, definitely, if you're a crook. The issues in legislation and law enforcement allow for business to be unethical and crooked. Every now and then you hear about some CEO getting nabbed by the po-po... But those are just occasional.
Its more a problem with people's mentality... and thats what bothers me here the most.
Slovaks are very apt at backstabbing.
Politicians are so crooked they have to fuck sideways..
Businessmen are so cunniving that they fool themselves they're actually doing good things for the country.
I don't like it here very much right now, maybe in a few decades it will be different.

For now, I'm glad to be returning soon to Holland. Now just to find a job that doesn't bore the fucking neurons from my head. This work is not for me...I need to be kept interested.
I also can't handle the fact that I'm not making money. Its unnerving.
Vexing.
Perplexing, even..
Like that time I tried to figure out a Rubix cube inside a whale's stomach.
....It just didn't smell right..

Well sportsracers, until next time..
This is Me complaining, so you don't have to.

Small rumours, Big Beans, and chicken soup.

2006-11-14T16:19:00.000+01:00

Well, I haven't written anything in a while because..heh, to be honest. I couldn't be bothered.
Big friggin' surprise.
Since my last post, I had a holiday - 2 weeks. I spent a good chunk of that time in Athens, Greece.
It was interesting to see, A big, chaotic city, with filthy streets and crazy drivers and generally nice people.
After that, back to work.
Slowly, working my way through every day at the office. Recently I had to re-install my OS because Acer builds their laptops is a very nefarious and evil way. Such that they break down as soon as the Warranty expires. Clever huh? Smartass cunt-muscles...
It seems as though my DVD/CD ROM is the source of my grief. I had to remove it to get my laptop to work. Now theres a big hole in my baby...and I need to spend MORE money on upgrades for this thing. In August I was forced to buy a new hard disk, since the factory installed one actually short circuited and burned :)
Fun..
Who wants to be a Millionaire? I do! I do!
Looking at the news, I cannot help noticing that Hillary might be our new target for Anti-American slander and hatred. Go Hillary..
You think she'll nab some hot young intern and force her to perform oral sex on her in the Oval Office? Giggity giggity goo!
That will just make my day, and hopefully make the American nation laugh.
What will make it even better; if it was a FEMALE hot young intern.
Those Christian Republican Puritans would flip out and shit three shades of green.
At least bringing some color to the flag, but don't forget to bring some Tide-color, for extra hard stains.

Right now there isn't much to tell about me, I don't think I even really know what I could write the next time, except maybe some random comments about currents events or funny stuff I saw or heard.

Fucking Hell I need money.. This job is totally not worth my time.
Explaining what I'm doing right now - not working.
Gawd, I need some fellatio.

peace,

Guess what? It still sucks balls

2006-10-11T12:34:00.000+02:00

So hey
Big friggin' surprise; My job hasn't gotten any better. I still do boring stuff like translating, reading and summarizing reports spewed out by institutions that wish to cause severe ocular pain to any of those who chose to read said reports. Government related institutions that looooove to bullshit and never really do anything.
I've been here just over one month and I've pretty much made my choice.
I wanted to be a diplomat, I mean there are some pretty sweet perks. However, the issue is GETTING there. It would mean years of desk work, paper pushing and conforming to a level that I do NOT agree with. I am NOT gonna become one of those stiffs. It would take at least 15 years to get into a nice position working for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs... FUCK...THAT!
In 15 years i could build a CV more impressive than an ambassadors working in the corporate world, and have earned a whole lot more AND had more fun.
I look at my colleagues here in the office and it looks like the life and inspiration and vigour has been sucked out of them, besides they look like they're in really bad shape..
I think that has to do with the sitting on their ass all day long. Fuck THAT too.
I often get out of my seat and go talk to some of the local employees. They are way cooler and more social than the Dutch people here - stiffs, as i said.

I guess the only real reason I come to work, or look forward to it is jsut for the nice internet connection. No proxy, no firewall, direct connection to the net and a 10Mbit/s down rate.
I have been able to follow all my regular TV shows and down some movies too...
I love the Internet...
I really DO wonder what the next thing will be that makes the Internet even better. Now people are recognizing User Generated Media as a big thing, who knows whats next.
I know what I'd want to own: a website that offers virtual sex. There are way more people on the net that DON'T have sex than people on the net that have sex. Its an untapped market, the biggest issue is the tech. I have the ideas, but not the brains to actually develop the software and the hardware. I have an idea that relates to the "Fuck you, Fuck me" concept that was online a few years back.. Its a good idea... the only problem - development.
The site would be like redcenter.com, offering a virtual-like Sims dating site where you can meet and fuck random people. A real-time virtual "Larry-like" orgy. And the hardware to match. Girls can buy a device mimicking a cock, or two (for the sandwich lovers), and boys can get a nice fake pussy and ass. Sensors would line the devices up to wazoo, creating a real-time sense and response experience, mimicking the other party's movements, contractions, body heat and lubrication.
As technology develops, my dream would be to bypass all these toys and go to direct brain stimulation. Stick a few sensors on and close your eyes... Anyone seen Demolition Man? Like that, except online and with anyone you choose - well, if they agree of course.
Sense of touch is only electrical signals to the brain, right?

If you're wondering - yes, I am somewhat of a perv.
I like to call it a healthy sexual appetite.

Actually all I want now is some Rum, pepperoni and a joint.

3rd Day at work - I hate waking up

2006-09-06T15:34:00.000+02:00

Ok, so I've complained a lot.. but to be honest, what else is a blog for?
To brag about how good life is and how in fact you're saying: "i'm better than all of you!"
Fuck that, i'm here to tell you how it SUCKS..

Its my third day working at the Embassy here and its boring as hell.
I've done nothing but sit on my ass and work at my computer, i can totally see why people get burnouts and jump off ledges.
This is enough mental strain to make an elephant bleed out of its ears and ass, just by looking at what I do...

I was on the bus this morning, on my way to work and i saw a funny thing i think i should show.
This guy was doing what i felt like doing,
note; the time is approx. 08:30 AM.

I think by friday i will have developed a tumor on my eyelid, the size of a lemon...

In other news, I finally got a passing grade for my Bachelor Thesis. Now i can say "Sayonara, Motherfuckahs!"
No school for a year...
Kill me now... I think I actually liked wasking up at 13:00, doing nothing until 15:00 and then getting some food, watching some movies and going back to bed at 04:00 AM.... that was the shiznit.
Noodle salad...

ALAS! The salad has gone bad, the shit has been flushed and i'm stuck in an office...

more complaints to come, stay tuned!

Allergy Hell and Filth and No Internet!

2006-09-02T19:25:00.000+02:00

So i've arrived and moved into my grandma's place.
Its not so great here...

My grandma's house is being "re-done", not only inside but also outside...
There is dirt everywhere and dust in the air, and its hell on my nose.
I keep sneezing as if i snorted pepper.

Another "hellish quality" this place has, are the mosquitos. I don't know why but i have a severe reaction to their bites here. If one bites me, that part of my body itches like no tomorrow and it swells up to the size of a golfball.. I HATE them insect fuckers!!!

Additionally, i cannot satisfy my internet addiction sufficiently. My grandma has no internet. I'm writing this post while sitting in the "Slovak Pub" (no joke, its really called that) and using their free internet.

Thats it for now, i'm going to make pics soon and post them to show off what its like here..
I'm getting good at this "complaining"....

Ancient business processes driving me to madness

2006-08-29T11:29:00.000+02:00

I couldn't take it...
@Home, my former Internet Service Provider and supplier of cable TV are dumb assholes.
You would think that business processes are renewed to go with the innovation in technology, like described by Moore's Law.
But NOOOOOOOO!!!
They have to keep their old bureaucratic ways in order to spite and irritate the masses. They don't know fuck-all about whats going on in their company, nobody is connected to anyone there because no one has a clue what the other department is doing.
I cancel my contract with them in June, a written letter sent to them, and still i get a bill. I call up and ask "WTF?!"
They reply that they haven't received it and are stillw aiting for the money, which mind you is for a period of time WHEN I DON"T EVEN LIVE AT THAT ADDRESS ANYMORE!!!!
These fuckers think that i wouldn't be upset that i'm paying for service that I don't use and actually shouldn't be paying..
I sent another letter in July, and STILL I GET ANOTHER FUCKING BILL!!
Get this;
I moved out of my apartment on the 30th of June, effective 1st of July we were no longer owners of that apartment. I get a bill that says i should pay for the Cable TV services for the period 01-07-2006 through 30-09-2006.
At that point I really wanted to hurt someone...preferably by means of a baseball bat to the head.

Advice to anyone reading this:
1. Cancel your contracts for Phone, TV, Internet, Water, Electricity, Gas, AS SOON AS YOU APPLY FOR THEM! Tell them right at the beginning how long you want the service for.

2. Buy a very big Baseball Bat

Mental prep for Slovakia

2006-08-26T13:59:00.000+02:00

So,
i'm going to move to Bratislava next week. I'm going to live with my grandmother for 5 months and work as an intern at the Dutch Embassy. Hopefully it won't be too boring because I am somewhat excited about it.
Finally i get to do something other than school. I've had enough academics for now and I am glad to finally be doing something for my career.
Its a shame that Bratislava is still a little behind in some thing, for instance ISP's there are not so efficient or cheap or fast. I guess the Netherlands has spoiled me that way. Fun fact: the Netherlands has the highest ratio of broadband connections to inhabitants in the world. Go figure!
But its true, this coutnry has been pushing highspeed internet connections very much and i'm grateful. Go Holland.
Fuck you Slovakia... :)
That place is so fucked up I won't even get into it. The economy, politics, parliament, entrepreneurs... it seems like no one ISN'T crooked there..
I guess business ethics is too "far-fetched" a concept for them still..
Anyways, I leave on the 31st of August.
Time to enjoy my last days here.

Summer Darkness, gothic festival in Utrecht

2006-08-18T19:03:00.000+02:00

This post relates to my experiences at Summer Darkness.
I saw many bands/acts, talked to various people, was unsuccesful at picking up ANY chicks..
Dammit, i'm repulsive even to goth-chicks! This is unbelievable..really.
However, the four days of raving and watching bands was a memorable time in Utrecht.
Some of the bands i saw: Bauhaus, VNV Nation, Combichrist, Grendel, Welle:Erdball, Frozen Plasma, Front Line Assembly(CANADIANS!!!), Soman, FabrikC, Clan of Xymox, Moonspell.
I also managed to have a nice chat with the singer of Birthday Massacre, another Canadian band there... Funny enough, she grew up in St.Catherines.. small world.

Other than that, people dressed in latex, bondage clothing, elaborate dresses and the nicest corsets you can imagine. Good stuff...always something pretty to look at there. :)
Heres a few pics, the rest can be found in a subfolder on my Photobucket account.
This is Bauhaus.

And these are some crazy Germans I met. She was hot and totally open to suggestion. If it wasn't for the dude throwing a hissy-fit, they probably wouldn't have gone home then I would have had a very enjoyable night...Grazy Germans..

Photobucket Account: Click on Summer Darkness Subfolder

Heres a link to a Dutch online journal (VPRO 3VOOR12) and its report on Summer Darkness. Its in Dutch but each article has photos and their quality is substantially higher than mine...duh.

Ok screw the link, it doesn't work for some idiotic reason beyond my education. Just search for "3voor12.vpro.nl/utrecht" on Google and it should be the only result. That will take you to a page where you can find several articles that link you to the Dossier on Summer Darkness, on that site. Enjoy.

First offical post, WACKEN OPEN AIR 2006!!!!!

2006-08-09T14:56:00.000+02:00

So this is it,
And this is me, for those of you who don't know what i look like.

Well its the beginning of August, i just came back from a kick-ass festival in Germany. Wacken Open Air.
5 days of camping, partying and heavy metal. It was amazing.

Made some new friends, crazy Germans. Good times and noodle salad. The guy next to me is a Scottish metalhead that lives in Hoofdorp and goes to Wacken every year with us. He is Simon.
Here are the rest of the photos of those 5 days, including the car that broke down and stranded us on the way back home.
Photobucket: Wacken 2006

Okay, this is why we make fun of Manowar and their fans:
The real video.
The Fan video.

A new phase

2006-06-13T19:42:00.000+02:00

The beginning of a new era...
