Football

Today... or rather yesterday.. the Norwegian leauge started again.. (but yesterday only a couple of shitty teams played)..

I put on my teams shirt.. my yellow and black scarf.. sat down ready to watch the game online... sat down 5hours before it started even.. used the day to watch old clips on youtube, songs and such.. been reading and writing on different forums, in general just getting into the atmosphere of being a real supporter again.
my team sucked today.. 1-1against a crappy team from waaaaaaay up north.. BUT..

I't all makes me think.. how much time, money, energy and feelings people put into it.
it's only a game.. a game that you are not playing.. you are just watching it
or are you?

I think that very many people get a feeling of purpose, belonging.. they are suddenly part of something much bigger than themselves.
I remember when my team won the cup last year.. I was crying like a baby!
why? have I ever played for that team? Have I ever done anything to help the team to victory accept use money on tickets, supporter articles and helped sing them along when I'm at the matches?
nope....BUT..

Since I was a little kid my grandfather took me to those games, with the different players on the pitch, the different people standing next to me in the stands, sitting beside me when I've watched the game on tv.. I've shared something.. something huge!
I don't think that it's something as "simple" as love.. BUT..

I think I would call it.. life..
I have gone every singel human emotion by beeing a football fan.. love, hate, happiness, sadness.. The feeling of betrayel and the one of sucess.. you never know how you will be feeling after those 90minuets are up. the only thing you know, is that you will no matter what, find yourself dressed in your yellow shirt and your yellow and black scarf ready to go through that rollercoster of emotions again.
as in life.. you never know what is going to happen, but no matter what does.. you always have tommorow


ok, now I think thats enough fucked up filosofi and sounding like a prick..

but nobody reads this blog anyway, so.. mohahaha!!

until next time, be good... but not too good

not easter..

well.. that was that holiday... and a good couple of days that I just haven't been bother to update the blog..but I'm back!

First of all... I have used some cash.. and now.... I have... yes you guessed correct.. a poker table!
I don't really play poker... but... It is great as a desk and as a dining table... so.. maybe I'll learn to play some poker evntually as well!

mymost fun projects these days is making paper airplanes.... when you throw them from some higt... it is actually really cool to look at them just float on the wind... shitty when they land on the veranda next door.. or on the roof.. but still..

new things that have accured to me..
western style shirts is one of the coolest things invented after fire.
pannekakes are great in the morning if you can be bother making them.
shopping is fun, but shopping for glasses is a terrifying experience.
gray skies are depressing.
speaking to ols friends you haven't talkes to in a long time is a really great thing.

tonight I'm going to some club thing, fashion event something.. could be cool, me and some friends are talking about starting up a small exclusive clothes company.. so.. good to get inspierd abit..


ok.. now I am going to fold more paperplanes!

by the way... do you know anybody that is interested in change?
in them selves, or society.. in general?
We are now looking for team 2 at the kaospilots here in Rotterdam... make them check out the website www.kaospilots.nl

peace on earth

easter...

well.. I think it's easter about now....
I've never really celebrated easter that much... but.. sitting alone in a big city just fighting with google and youtube, trying to do some research.. that really blows....
howeever.. everything has possetive aspects.. e.g. I can eat all of the pannecakes myself. mohaha

so.. tommorow, Iæm going to the store.. buying shitloads of candy... it will be... sweet(?).

some things that came to mind..

is it possible to give yourself an effective back massage?

the small intro's before movies.. I think they make me really happy, but.. aren't they really a waste of time often?

is my heating oven supposed to not give any heat?

is there anything better than to speak to an old and very dear friend when you haven't talked to gether in many months?

is easter a good reason for a good party at the irish pub?

if tap water naturally tasted some funky fruit flavour, would people then think highly of them selves when they bought water that didnæt taste like anything.. or water if you prefer..?

does anybody in the world have green eyes with silver spots?

if the monster in the washingmachine eats socks... who eats washing machine monsters?

Hallooooooooooo?!

how is it possible to spend almost an entire day looking for a cable so I can connect my camera to my computer... and then.. I found a cable.... but.. it's not the cable for my cam.. where is my cam cable?!?!??!?!?!?!?! I want my cam cable!!!! aaaaaaaarggh!

apart from that, looking forward to be at school working abit in the morning. grrrrrrrrreat as frosty the tiger would say.

apart from that, no odd ideas in my head... that is actually an odditiy in it self...

well... some things just came to mind...

- last weekend, I think somebody got killed down the street, 5big police vans, not cars.. vans... tape keeping people away, ugly old police woman looking angry at everybody that passed... in other words.. I think I live in the ghetto... and in a way, I like it... fun when you move to another country, your parents are on the other side of the world.. and you really find out, shit.. this is the real world.. puts things in perspective. glad I'm the nice prince charming good boy I am ans stay on the right side of the law.. and the right side of most people i meet!

- I finally learned the trick about dutch pannekakes... glad I took with me "boller & burritos", the cooking book I got when I was 13...

- knuffel is a funny and nice word.. odd how the dutch language has some charming treasures of some words hidden within it..

- small things like nailclippers etc have an annoying habbit of hiding when you need then, and just lying around when you don't need them

- annoying to go out to the shops on a sunday when you have no idea when the shops are actually open, and when they close

- wondering if I actually would like all the juices I'm drinking these days if I could translate so I knew what kind of fruits and berries are in there.. maybe it's a good thing to trust in blindness?

japp, thats about it..
smooch

the day of creation

well.. at least starting to create something..
today I've been in amsterdam to have a meeting with Martin (one of the founders of KPNL), Pieter (crazy man that loves KPNL, and we love him), Dennis (a russian dutchy doing his intership at kpnl) and Elfried (great friend of the kaospilots, also been our lecturer during marketing)
....reason for the meeting.. try to take some steps further on marketing for the school.
we played around with some different ideas, made some important steps that we hope we will be able to show the results of.... soon!=)

apart from that, I hate sitting on trains without music or something to read, frozen pizza's rock, but... get sick of them after eating them atleast 3times a week since christmas, fridaynight tv sucks, deciding upon a haircut is alot harder than deciding to devote myself to the kaospilots for 3years (hehe, that was actually really easy for me, but know some people might be unsure of they are looking into it for the first time), and eh.. I'm looking forward to monday.. I'm going to celebrate St.patricks day.. have no clue what is happning, but planning to put on a green tshirt, go to an irish pub, get hammerd, and hope some other people had the same idea.

I wish thou a weekend filled with peace, happiness and love.

the day of cleaning...

well...
blææææ.. I just hate cleaning, hehe, it is so boring!
started off cleaning a bathroom at school today...
has anybody ever done it before??!?!?!
looked like somebody hade puked on one of the walls... but alas.. it was worse.. it was candle waz.. I used like 3hours cleaning that tiny bathroom.. baaaaah!

sitting bymyself in the cockpitt (our charming little bar/chill out in the schools basement)
...just finished moving away some of the mess here... something we should have done about... well.. 2..3 months ago??

team 1... wanna party here soon? I LOVE this basement.. it's so fucking cool!

other news? neh.. going home soon... clean there also.. will probably be sitting up working all night..
I feel a lack of inspiration... when it comes to what I'm going to choose for dinner tonight that is... almost fed up with pizza... almost...=)

the word of the year...............
love.. you do the deep thinking about what it meens and can meen for just you..

que pasa?

so.. what is happening in the life of the rag?

well.. my beutiful team has divided into 2.. well.. 3..
9people are in thailand visiting a world sumit on social innovation.
7people are in a firetruck, driving around europe and finding out, what is really social innovation?
and little old me.. I decided to stay in Rotterdam and take some further steps on some of the projects I already have going on..

one of the main goals of being a Kaospilot in my opinion is finding you passion, and working on it. so... I'm actually rather happy indeed that I chose to stay!

so..what am I doing then.. good question..
today I'm at least sitting at school, catching up with old mails and old ideas that I haven't been able to get from my head and down on paper yet.
tommorow I'm going to start off by cleaning the school.. and after that... time will show=)
