Happy new year (gratuitous nudity)

Okay peeps, here it is, my new year’s speech…

I like you, so there you go… now you can rest assured that not all of the world hates you.

This year was another rollercoaster ride not just for me personally but for a lot of people and I fear the worst may be yet to come. On the other hand, though you don’t have control over everything, you can at least give it a positive spin when you meet live's challenges with humor and compassion, enjoy the challenges you do conquer and celebrate your personal growth, spiritually, emotionally and mentally.

I am not making any new years’ resolutions, but I will look at what 2012 has taught me. I’m gonna take 2013 as it comes, and I am lucky to do that with people like you around me. Old friends, new friends, friends who got less then they deserved, friends I could and should have appreciated more and friends who barely noticed I was there at all. Don’t forget just because I am not talking to you daily, didn’t congratulate you on your birthday or even if I gave you crap, it doesn’t mean I don’t care for you.

With all that has been happening this year I am going to focus on peaceful living, learning from those around me and teach them what I have learned and I’m going to take serious care of my health… I plan to stay around for a while and try to make your lives more interesting or annoy the crap out of you.

Whatever 2012 has brought you, at least we can say we survived two predicted apocalypses (apocalypti?)… so here’s to us… UP FOR ANOTHER ROUND!

Calm the fuck down

On the 21st of December too many people will post on facebook and twitter that they are still alive and the earth has not been destroyed. This extreme strain on data traffic however, will paralyze servers. Financial traffic, stock exchange and news media will stop to function and a worldwide panic will follow. North Korea will use this opportunity (since their people are not allowed to use the Internet, they will have little problems with crashed servers) to try and take over the world, which will shortly be answered by the west with nuclear retaliation, resulting in Armageddon.

Now whatever you think will happen the 21^st.

CALM THE FUCK DOWN!

Oh and merry x-mass, peace on earth and all that crap.

So here is this new year thingy….

After hearing people complain how bad the year has been the last weeks of 2011, especially financially, it was kind of “funny” to see so many people burn for more than 120 euro’s of fireworks. When I say funny by the way, I mean the sarcastic, cynical kind of funny, not the “oh-my-god-that’s funny” sort of funny. 120 euro’s was the average amount spent on fireworks this year, since I only bought a 7,50 package for my son, there’s a guy out there that spent at least 110 euro’s more. Off course that is without taking into account a massive amount of illegal fireworks some of which have reached the explosive power equal to that of a hand grenade. And then there’s the “home brewers” creating bombs Al Qaeda would pay good money for, all by youtube (or other video sites) instruction. Anyway, the recession must not be half as bad as the media wants me to believe when people are still able to burn money.

But… I was not planning on starting this year with such cynical note, so I want to give you this little piece of good news… I don’t think the world will end this year. Though through common sense and 5 minutes of reading up on things, you probably came to the same conclusion.

Personally I can safely say 2011 has been a shitty and thoroughly stressful year at best. However let’s not dwell on that because even though there have been some serious downs, there have also been a lot of ups. I leave 2011 behind me with mixed feelings knowing that however I will remember it in time it certainly has not been boring.

To all of you…

A blessed new year… may the best of the past be the worst of the future… and screw the Mayan calendar!!!
