Have you ever had the type of job where you lost track of reality?Not in an ‘constantly- hallucinating’ kind of way, but in a way where you’re so focused on your own goings-on that you forget the bigger picture? I have (obviously, or I wouldn’t be writing this blog). My job mainly consists of (asContinue reading “On the job”

Road to success
The ‘success’-reel that is Social Media has been an ongoing topic (of complaints) for as long as Social Media have been a thing. The constant overflow of happy moments, with little (or no) attention to the failures, dark moments and ‘really seriously wrong’ things in the lives of those involved keep causing ruckus when itContinue reading “Road to success”
Personal Blogging – The I-thing
One of the lessons about writing that’s stuck with me throughout my entire writing career (even though calling my writing endeavors a career is very ambitious) is a very simple one. You should not start a sentence with I. Not only does it apparently feel like an eyesore – it also quickly turns repetitive, isContinue reading “Personal Blogging – The I-thing”
Wee smirk
Man, I’m a sucker for accents. Totally and completely smitten with people who take sounding charming-as-fuck to the next level by putting a special layer of awesome on every word they speak. It’s probably a remnant from my youth-trauma, growing up as ‘a Limburger‘. Limburg, for the Non-Dutch out there…is a province round here inContinue reading “Wee smirk”
Try Again
There’s so much we can learn from games and sports, I think. They’re a reflection of life, in a lot of ways. Although I’m kinda obligated to say that since I’ve already written a bunch of posts of ‘things I learned through playing games like Candy Crush‘ (or skating, or playing softball, or tennis). AndContinue reading “Try Again”
Resolutionizing – May
Did we make it through the snow and drizzle? I sure fucking hope so!The massive sunburn I got yesterday when playing my first baseball-match (a 10-3 victorrrrryyyyy!) of the year-post-corona definitely suggests we might be on the road to better weather. And with better weather, come better moods. At least, for me. I’m a totalContinue reading “Resolutionizing – May”
Cliched Epiphanies
Me and the loverboy were watching Thor this weekend – after deciding to do a Marvel binge which has us watching all the movies in (timeline) order. Which is awesome. Cause I love Marvel. Not just for the actionpacked (and sixpacked) storylines, but also because they manage to slip in some braincracking gems and moralsContinue reading “Cliched Epiphanies”
It’s in the details
I’ve never been one of those ‘the big picture‘ type of people. That’s a specialty and mindset that you either possess, or don’t I think – that way of seeing beyond your immediate vicinity and placing things in a grander context. Most people, admittedly, are just stuck in their own ‘little’ world. Myself? I tendContinue reading “It’s in the details”
Resolutionizing – April
Four months gone of the year 2021. And what a year it’s been so far. The world is changing. Changing. Changing. We’re going from lockdown, to semi-lockdown to hopefully some sort of relative freedom in the near future. I mean – as it stands now (with our sluggish vaccination pace) I’ll see my arm pokedContinue reading “Resolutionizing – April”
Discrepancies
Todays blog is going to be a short little thing. Unlike the ones you’re used to from me, I wager, seeing as I have this tendency to WAY overstep ‘normal’ blog-lengths (although, all of you reading generally don’t really seem to mind). I can’t help it. I’m a wordy little bitch. And I just haveContinue reading “Discrepancies”
