Used to live on the other side of the Leie where his café was, although he was deceased by then. But I do remember singing his classics during KATHO-LAN Saturdays and jeugdhuis-weekends.
It’s also JOHNY, not Johnny, if you want to hear it from the master himself:
Rammstein was awesome, my inner pyromaniac was satisfied.
Worked until 21h yesterday and started again today at 5h. Only slept three hours due to the heat 😑. No turbo for me today
Didn’t sleep well due to the heat. Needed something extra this morning to “wake up”, so instead of listening to De Ochtend in the car, I switched to Armin van Buuren’s Tomorrowland 2022 live set. Worked better than a Redbull.
Halfway through Dopesick now, really great series with a mind-boggling story.
Geluk bij een ongeluk. Just as I rode into my home street after a 68km bicycle ride I hit a nail and my back tire goes flat instantly. Luckily this didn’t happen halfway or I would have enjoyed waiting for VAB in the blistering sun for at least an hour.
Anyway, this was a very good endurance test for my new e-bike. That 1200Wh battery was more than capable of carrying me the full 68km with still 20% remaining. And on stand 2/3 I could still comfortably reach 45km/h without too much effort.
Fietsostrade Antwerpen-Gent is pretty nice as well. All in all, 8/10 experience but I definitely woulnd’t do it weekly. 4 hours travel time in total is just too long.
Just got back from a roadtrip trough Albania. I will never complain about Belgian traffic again (or atleast for 2 weeks). Beautiful country but the people there are just absolutely insane behind the wheel. Now just to wait a couple of hours till I can go to the frituur.
Dentist day. Boy I hope they find what makes my face ache
I’ve been having some really happy moments lately, I’ve been trying to like -realise I’m in the “good old days” – before they’re over. I hope they last a few more days.
I’m generally excited about the future – it might be because I’ve just been ordering a ton of stuff, so everyday I get like new packages – my brain seems easy to just hack like that. Package = dopamine.
Have a good day tho everyone 🙂
Who would’ve thought that Vettel’s retirement would bring so much chaos to F1? Fernando as his replacement, Piastri not wanting to be an Alpine driver and what with Danny Ric? Even though it’s summer break, at least F1 can bring me some distraction.
Recently i started to have a interest in programming. I’ve been hearing a lot of positive things about being a developer and i started “The Odin Project” to learn more about web development. Who knows where this will take me in a few years if i stay committed!
Been home since 12/07 due to burn-out/depression related things (not caused by my job/work) and while I know there’s really no space for work in my brain/life at the moment I’m becoming slightly bored.
These temperatures don’t help either.
The things that calm my mind are gaming and walking. Two things I don’t enjoy when it’s this kind of weather.
I’m living pretty damn hard this summer, just did awakenings festival last weekend, going to brackrock this weekend (2 festivals who couldn’t be more different lol). Really feels like I’m finally making up for those lost COVID years.
Funny how most of my friends are settling down, having kids and I’m just partying every weekend.
I now know how everyone I trained in the last couple of years felt. So much information to proces.
Nice thing at new job: allowed to come to work in shorts as long as it’s not trainer shorts. Very nice with the current temps.
If the only way I can tell my wife´s cuba libre apart from my long island iced tea is the piece of lime or lemon.. You make shit long island iced teas.
Urgh.
Firstworldproblems are the worst
I went running for the 3rd time in 7 days. It was only 4 km but I have to start somewhere. I probably run too fast to go for long distance but I used to play basketball where speed is the important part. I prefer riding my bicycle, but I signed myself up for a viking run with my colleagues and I doubt I could do that with a bicycle.
Old lady i was working at kept complaining the girl from wit geel kruis was too late…
Its such An annoying thing to do…keep having to tell her that they Will come and they are Just doing their job…
If you Read this and do that job… I hope most dont complain about you being late… Without you they would be lost :’) but its always hard for Them to realise (since i always have to calm the elderly down for this shit).
Work PC took 45min to start this morning, stuck on “preparing windows, don’t shut down the pc”. Turns out it was downloading windows 11. Got a welcome screen when I logged in: “windows 11 has been downloaded. Click here to install or here to continue with windows 10.”
So if your PC is slow to start in the next few days, that’s probably it.
I was in the US for all of July visiting my parents.
I made a bokke for breakfast today. Goddamn I missed good bread.
La Trappe oak aged gang!
So today I made up my mind to switch from Telenet to Edpnet, since after 2 interventions my modem keeps randomly resetting multiple times a day. I’ve had it with this shit. Speed is gonna be slower since I can only get VDSL, but I’ll also pay 22 euro less per month.

I love ‘margrietje’!

Reminder to everyone to check their elektricity bills for the heating-bonus our government was going to provide. If you didn’t receive it you’ll have to put in a request, like I had to. More info and stuff [here](https://economie.fgov.be/nl/themas/energie/energieprijzen/regeringsmaatregelen-en/verwarmingspremie-van-100-euro).
