Zero Tolerance! VERY GOOD!

Geschreven door remco op . Gepost in Algemeen. Reageren

This week Yuri van Gelder, a dutch gymnasist, tested positive on cocaine. I’m not commenting on his sports career, if cocaine doesn’t help you perform better I wouldn’t mind if he can go on with it. But, Yuri is also a member of the Dutch defense and they have a zero-tolerance policy. I didn’t know this, but I’m very pleased they have. You wouldn’t want a stoned soldier guarding a civilian town or something like that…

If you just make your own...

In the last year there were a lot of issues with policemen. A recent incident was that two female cops went to get some fast-food. On their way home with the food the traffic lights didn’t cooperate, something I can relate to. So what did they do? They turned on the sirenes and lights and ran the red lights because otherwise ’the food would go cold’. The result: a slap on the wrist and that’s it. No wonder dutch police is ridiculed and played with. They should have fired the two, if this is how dutch police behave than they don’t even deserve our respect.

SALE! turns women into …

Geschreven door remco op . Gepost in Algemeen. Reageren

Last weekend my girlfriend and I went shopping. Bad idea because on a Saturday more people do this, so it was very crowded. I’m the kind of guy that walks into a store and within minutes I know if I’m going to buy something or not. My girlfriend needs some more time, but then again, there’s more to choose from. But what keeps amazing me is what it does to women. I don’t know if you are familiar with the big sales where women wait in front of stores and burst into the store, fighting their way to that dress of purse or whatever…

I can’t think of anything that make men behave like that, maybe for sports (which is even more crazy as there is no personal gain involved). But in this case sale lasts a few more weeks I think, so what’s the rush. And I pity the staff, it’s amazing what kind of mess these women make in the stores!!! I’m so glad my girl doesn’t go crazy when there’s a sale!

Women are beasts
Women are beasts

Maybe it would be a hit if we design a webshop where products can be piled up like this, add some screaming sounds and the whole SALE experience is complete!

The ongoing proces of rehabilitation

Geschreven door remco op . Gepost in Algemeen. Reageren

As it’s been about 7,5 weeks since my accident I would’ve thought things would be much better. But, as impatient as I am I keep getting disappointed. Last monday I’ve been to my therapist who’s having me do excercises to build up muscle strength. Well he made me work hard monday, and tuesday I really couldn’t do anything without experiencing muscle pains in my chest. I tried everything: hot bath, bedrest, tiger balm, excersis and swearing… nothing helped. Last night I had about three hours of sleep and so today work didn’t go as planned. By now most of the pain has subsided and I think I’ll be okay by tomorrow.

I’m not cut out to be injured this long. It’s so very frustrating! And aside from my physical state I’ve so much to do for work, for the tv-station, for other projects.. it’s a bit too much and I really should cut back on these activities, so when the busy times are over I’m going to reconsider all of my activities and see which ones I’m going to continue…
