As you can see, I’ve been doing some idle work during my off-time in x-mas, and I hope you like it. The new and improved blog has a nicer and more userfriendly look to it, it welcomes you as a visitor and helpfully shows you where to go to do what. Now, there are still […]

The day before Christmas Eve, our TV broke down. Now, I don’t know about the rest of the world, but apart from the food (since we’re all too old to run around buying presents to each other) TV is the mainthing going on during Christmas. Our two biggest channels are sending mindless entertainment, re-runs from […]

I was supposed to write something to this e-zine about my stay in Cuba, and as you all know I gladly accept any responsibility without thinking wether I’m up to it or not, have the money to do it, etc. Pauly found a solution, however, because he’d read through my entry on my first baseballmatch […]

Yes! The no. 1 sucicidal holiday is upon us again! Once again we’ve drunk, homeless people walking around in the street screaming "Ho! Ho! Ho!" trying to stand upright and not puke on the children who are amazed and terrified. In the shoppingcentres, people are running desperately around, waving their VISAs and Mastercards, trying to […]

X-mas is upon us like Death will come upon us all some day: The festive holiday of depression. Great. I’ve bought most of my x-mas presents in Cuba, though, but I don’t know when to send them or anything. I’ve just got no time to think, and I’m worrying about my music too well. They’re […]

After the whole ordeal with this damned killerwhale, I’m glad to announce that the milliondollar nightmare (compared to the starving Africans cliché) finally kicked it today: the 13th of December 2003. We are glad to get rid of you, you’ve been nothing but trouble, and nobody liked your films anyway! Rip, though!

I got safely home, even though parts of the Martin Air aircraft we’re cuddled up in, had a loose wall. One of the screws above one of the emergency exits just popped out when we took off. The poor guys (also passangers) in charge of the exit, halfway panicced when this happened. Really funny. Amsterdam […]

In less than five hours I’m on a bus going for Havana international Airport, and here I’m sitting anxious as hell to get out of here, but with a slight touch of sadness to it – because I AM going to miss this country. Oh, well. I’ve got to pack now, I guess. I’ve given […]

I’ve received the honor of making a webpage for the 50+ students attending at ANCEP (now Gateway College), fall 2003. Luckily, I’ve got some contacts that’ve helped me out, so I don’t have to pay anything, it’s still quite a bit of free work, tho. I’ve got it all planned down to the last "brick", […]

I had two exams today, examen philosophicum and examen facultatum, and since I knew that I already had passed – thanks to the midterm exams which count 40% of the final grade, I wrote just for fun. I did 6 pages on Kant’s theory of recognition/acknowledgement, doing some critical analysis of him as a person […]
