Life is too short for assumptions!

February 4, 2010 in Diary, Featured, front by ZKboi

Look at this as a long rant, a few pages from a book which you have been reading. That book is called reality and it gets to you around you in full three-dimensional projection. It gives you senses to smell, look and hear; but there is more inside of you and that’s happiness and sadness, to be freightened and attracted to which lives around us. It’s because reality is so hard to change, because it happens day after day with cause and effect, where we have so little to say in. It’s time in it’s purest form.

To explain what reality really is, we don’t have to go Kansas to see Dorothy, Reality is like a bubble, which is around you, which spreads as your bubble gets bigger. The better your ideas are, the more people that will want to be part of that bubble. The worse those ideas are, the further you want to be away from that person so you don’t get affected by the wantings and doings of that particular person.

Some people want to control our bubble, or .. well, to be atleast part of it. We call it society as it is. What we saw as impossible about 12 years ago on American reality series, is all happening at our doorsteps. Both police and criminality is adapting to the standards of today, but also how people get approached. Criminality shouldn’t be taken lightly, although there are more frequent cases than ever of errors and recklessness around Europe taking down innocent lives.

Look at the news, the ever ongoing war, traffic problems all over, the drugs wars started in the US and ongoing with atleast seven busts a day in Britain, never ending taxes, smog; people being afraid of insults, getting shot, raids and assaults by police, also happening in Belgium! Our policemen are there to help society. The civilian for the civilian with the power to work in function; not to use or abuse that particular function, like some might think with their position. Lady justice holds her balance in the middle with the blindfold on; leave her deciding which is right and wrong, not those who operate in function to aid a good working society in peace; without too much military power to oppress it’s citizens.

It is not true, that which I wish for, that reality is not true at all! Every day recklessness is demanding lives of innocents every day. Zero tolerance is which gets top priority and the principles of a true gentlemen are no more. This brings a rather bitter and bad taste in your mouth, isn’t it? Reading the true reality around you, which is happening around you while you are sitting in your warm bubble. Probably not everything will not be in that collection of oddities around your taste and likes; but the true feeling of what most around us really crave for will not be in our living quarters for a long time…

So, where did we fast-forward to a society where everyone thinks about themself, where bankers have taken over the world and countries are getting technologically locked down more secure than Fort Knox with their citizens put captive in the net of “intelligence” where others have more rights above your privacy? Oh, or didn’t I mention already, that privacy is no more for a long time? It’s like the terrorists have won and our own people who got the power to change, have taken over to keep all the others in terror…

And the world keeps going on, we keep swallowing which we are given to eat and breath and keep accepting what goes on around us. We all call it the “normal way of living”, where we deal what gets on the menu by daily base. But, for how long exactly till things get really out of hand, where everyones comfort is at risk? Or atleast; which we used to call comfort in the old days as gentlemen, where one of the primary rules was to stay friendly to everyone at all times and discuss and relativate problems, instead of sponsoring the nearest hospital.

That reality … should not be true for any country around the world.

If you don’t like it, you can always try to bend reality to your own way by reading quantum space

ZKboi on the move!

August 12, 2009 in Diary, Updates, front by ZKboi

As you might have noticed, the site has been changed drastically. I’d rather call it a dirty port instead of a succesful migration of all my data; although, after working for over 11 years in ICT, I’d have to give up my personal server for the business cause. This has made a few nasty inconveniences for both you and me. Sorry for any missing data; although, relax, I still got most of it in backup. Most article URL’s are auto-pointing to the right articles and the blog is immediately reachable through blog.zkboi.com. The old statistics will be added very soon.

Moving the site was both a heaven and a burden. By moving from Coranto to Wordpress, I’ve made a huge step. The template has been ported as much as it could be ported and the extra sidebar functions will be added again as soon as they become available. The result: a much more clean site, cleanup of the articles and most of all, a more consistent whole of the entire ZKboi space.

The photo libraries will be filtered towards todays standards and all artistic material will be on-line again soon with new whistles and features. Since I’m on the move in real too, you’ll have to grant me a bit of patience to get this eyecandy back in order …

The site is hosted on ArtistBlog.ME space, where artists are free to promote their works through the web without the background of any technical information. ArtistBlog.ME allows me to focus on the content instead of worrying about program functionality, Internet connectivity, search optimimalisation and much more required to run a good blog.

I hope to serve you soon with a lot of new stuff!

Till then!

Animal Abuse, trick or treat?

November 2, 2008 in Featured, front by ZKboi

Honestly, I’ve never been that shocked in my life as I’ve been the last hour and a half. This documentaire discusses the different aspects of animal cruelty for our own behalf.

Just like we are a group of social living creatures; animals sure deserve “their place” on this large world too! We should think better before slaying animals with pain just for religion or fashion.

We often don’t see what happens before with those clothes we wear, the dinner we eat and the pet we got. This movie is a strong outline of what would happen if all of these production facilities would have glass walls.

Do think, is it really worth it that much to be wearing the latest fashion linked with often dozens of minutes of pain? I’m not asking you to become veggie; although; do mind the steak you are trowing away might have been a real painsteak before!

If you can’t do something about it, think about it, because by ignoring this fact the horror will continue till there is no link anymore between us, humanity and the rest of this beautiful world!

Mattering cheap electronics!

March 12, 2008 in Featured, front by ZKboi

Yesterday I went to the local electronics store where stuff gets sold for audio, video, oscilloscopes, multimeters, solder, crocodile clamps and lots more…

I needed to make a cable for the Fluke CableIQ qualification tester to check pin by pin; since this cable was not in stock at the dealer and it would probably cost 100x more anyways. I went in the store in a hurry, got the equipment with me and we had the following dialog:

[me] Hi, I see you got fluke in your etalage, do you sell these testleads?
[shopkeeper] No I’m afraid we don’t have these.
[me] do you got any test leads which I can use to make a cable for this device here? <while taking out manual>
[shopkeeper] I don’t got any separate leads.
[me] Do you got any colored crocodile clamps? I want to be able to make this cable, I already got the connector to go to the device but I’d like a nicer solution for the ending leads
[shopkeeper] Let me see what I got
… <after a time> …
[shopkeeper] I got these crocodile clamps, but only in red and black.
[me] That’s better than nothing, how many of these you got? I’d like to have 5 of each.
<to be sure because these things do break around the plastic too>
… <after a time> …
[shopkeeper] I got 5 of these and 4 of these.
… <In the whiletime an older man with a beard comes in> …
[me] Where is the time when you had these in colored?
[shopkeeper] That time is already gone for long, it’s not being sold anymore…
[me] But you do still sell soldering irons I hope ;)
[shopkeeper] No, as a matter of fact even Dynatek is stopping with multimeters. Soldering irons do not get sold anymore, everything is getting micro-smd etc..
[me] Where is the time when we learned about these things, using resistors, capacitators, making stuff?
[shopkeeper] Now they learn to draw in schools, but most of the electronic parts we have abandoned because it does not sell anymore.
[me] That’s bad, we with the soldering irons are getting extinct, so everyone just throws everything away??
[shopkeeper] Basically yes, most stuff cannot be repaired or gets swapped with modules.
[me] Do you still got those packages with many 5 or 10 testleads in one?
[shopkeeper] Yes let me see.
[guy with beard] The challenge seems to be gone for most around us, it’s sad, although not everything is new and small and smd ;)
[shopkeeper] I have these?
[me] <while looking> yes, these are a lot better and are which I search for, I want two packages of these.
[shopkeeper] that will me 8 euro 70 cents together please.
… <taking my money and paying< …
[guy with beard] Also a package of test leads please and pays up

Moral of story ..
Do we need to throw everything away when it still can be fixed just for the sake of having the newest model or type on our desk?

In memorial to Troy!

August 30, 2006 in RIP, front by ZKboi

As I am silent, as also very reliant,
I am in a lot of grief, Someone nice had to leave,
Troy, a name to mention, causing me a lot of tension,
One of my best friends died, so hoped he had won his fight,
You always had advice, where a true friend relies,
Even you lived miles away,
You teached me to be open,
You showed me certain ethics, language and lyrics!

your soul is in these sounds, but it’s just a tease,
Troy, best friend, rest in peace (06/03/60-23/08/06)…
a name remembered as Troyboy!

Let the angels sing for you every day!

A tribute has been created, in dedication for Troy!

Your friend…

In memorial for John!

July 31, 2006 in RIP, front by ZKboi

I don’t got a lot of words for what happened to you John, I know you for about 10 years, you where 7 years my record supplier and brought me sometimes the best (and also worst ;) ) music I could imagine.

We’ve not seen eachother a lot outside nightlife although I do miss you very much around here, you where a very big musical influence on my life ..

Groove in peace, Johnnieboy!

Definition of a true friend?

March 21, 2005 in Diary, front by ZKboi

Definition of a friend?

All I want is someone to trust,
putting your worries to dust,
Words are free, nothing to withold,
whenever they could be warm or cold…

Someone being able to know,
someone who listens, ready to bow,
Where feelings are one,
someone that takes ready-to-bow equally as poke fun…

Someone to be proud to have,
that one thats ready to save,
Someone I know we will never leave,
just that one thing that makes life a relief!

That one that is there,
even when you are flying above the clouds,
above the world, above the sky, in the air,
The one I will give my word of ‘I will be there’!

It’s such a filling feeling,
the one that gets you off (or on) the ceiling,
That one that sometimes brings mess,
being to be able to confess …

Someone who you could trust your tiny life,
even if he is man or wife,
A word is worth a 1000 lines of feelings,
you’d better be less on those ceilings !

He accepts you whoever you are,
Whenever you like the sun, the moon or any star,
Defends you whatever you stand for,
The one you want to be in front of your door!

A word of honesty towards eachother,
someone which will sometimes bother,
slight compassian, twist of humor,
He’ll bother you back anyways, just don’t get a tumor!

A friend you could never leave,
That one that always gives you a relieve,
Hope seeing him back soon again,
That’s a true friend, that one that’s most humane!

Well, such friend,
There is always that fifty/fifty procent,
Whenever even when you need to get or need to pay,
You will always be gay, that number (1) !!!

Written by ZKboi,
Don’t treat friendship as a toy,

if U send to someone else!

Who am I and what do I do?

March 4, 2004 in Diary, front by ZKboi

Since a lot of people ask me what I do in life, my hobbies, work etc… I will try to make things more clear about myself in this article. I also try to let you know how I think, what my values are in life.

I am a very complex somebody, I have my own words, my own ways, my own tougths and my own way of acting. I do not consider myself part of any selective society. I am part of a lot of cultures on this world. I consider myself most to be skater because of my clothes and my hobbies. I do not consider myself to be 100% pure Belgian. Do I actually belong on this planet???

I like freedom, I like artistic behavior. Being artistic is a free expression of the mind. A lot of people are artistic in one or another way. I like to do it audio-visually mostly.

Honesty is the best way to go:
Lying, cheating, discrimination, racism, naivity, ignorance and superficiality are things I see (and feel) daily. I will never support these kinds of behavior; I’d rather die alone than living in a ignorant world.

This article has been changed. Certain topics have been taken out because there are people out there with malicious purpose. Since I cannot be completely open towards the world and protect my life at the same time I decided to censor my own article for a bit. I am sorry, if you want to know more about me you will need to ask me.

My hobbies
My hobbies are mostly being artistic …

  • I draw…
    a lot of example drawings can be found at Project (A)(R)(T).
    I also like to do image manipulations and design.
  • Philosophy is a nice way of living too;
    Since I am a thinker, I tweak myself on my own values in life, I think and learn about my mistakes and victories in live …
  • I like to skate and swim.
  • I like to sleep;
    my bed is holy (since I don’t sleep a lot).
  • I like to watch movies;
    Some favorite movies are Donnie Darko, The Never Ending Story, Memento, Requim for a Dream, Pink Floyd: The Wall, Dark City, Indiana Jones, Dune, Pulp Fiction, …
  • I make music, I collect music, I love music.
    I am quite strange though with which style I like. I am totally not commercial and I never listen to the radio because I do not like to be brainwashed with the newest tunes for about 5 times a day …
  • I like artistic photography;
    have lots of (new) ideas and once I will be working on these ideas if I find a good photographer who can understand my tougths.

What do I like or dislike?
Tastes differ and probably this list is waaaaay far from done but it’s better to start somewhere instead of starting nowhere …

  • I like milk, green tea, SPA blue (no other!).
    Sometimes I like to drink Fanta, glennlivet, glennfiddich, Stoley and Tequilla (since it doesn’t affect my mind too much).
  • I dislike narrow minded people, demotivation, intolerance, discrimination, racism, hatred, …
  • I like steak, turkey, bananas, chicken, spinash, oranges, salad, yoghurt, cherrys, cheese, mussels, herring, salmon, fries, cheeseburger, and this list goes on …
  • I dislike sprouts, asperges, anything of internal organs, beans, beer (tastes like pee!), gin (tastes like vomit!), …
  • I like to be organized but doesn’t work out always :) :)
  • I dislike psychological games, fights, loud/noisy people, superficiality …

This list is way far from finished but as I told, anything is better to start with … Now you know what to get me as drink when you see me *evil grin*.

My work
Since I need to protect myself I cannot tell a lot about my primary job, I am self-employed and I got my hands full every day to support my company.

  • I used to work in the Internet world (no further comments).
  • I used to work as bartender and DJ @ Rubbzz for 10 years!
    It’s a very interesting job, sure because you meet and talk with people “in another perspective”…
  • Currently I’m having my focus on audio-visual productions.

How do I look on the inside?
Messy for sure, I am sure I have a heart, a pair of lungs, blood vessles and do I really need to continue describing how I look like on the inside? To be more specific .. I look “tough” on the outside (which is my protective shell) and I am quite “soft” on the inside …

  • I am shy in a lot of ways.
  • I am very openminded.
  • I am overprotective towards myself.
  • I am very open in thougths.
    If anything is wrong I will sure tell.
  • I am someone who lives on feelings and emotions.
    It’s a tough life ya know …
  • I am stubborn.
  • I am loyal.
  • I am trustworthy.
  • I am sometimes (too) messy.
  • I need to be “free” in tougths, words and have my own way of living.
  • I am sometimes depressed.
  • I have ADHD.

Certain norms and values I have
This is a subject I have removed for now. Because it has too much information that can be used against me. There are unfortunately people with malicious intents on this world and I already have met one who has tried to use this information on a bad way.

If you want to know me you will have to talk to me or meet me in person.

To tell you in short what used to be in this topic:
No-one is perfect; I have respect for anybody/anything on this world; violence is the voice of the ignorant heart; I’ll never put anyone in danger; prejudice is bad; I like to observe; I will do anything to protect myself: my mind, my soul, my body and the one I love; I have positive and negative sides and if you are that much interested in those sides, you better get to meet/talk to me ASAP.

I hope this was an interesting and descent answer on the questions “Who am I, and what do I do in life?”… If you got any other questions or remarks you can always mail me and I will add them to this list.

Cu!

Tom Andries

Hey Tom,

I remember you as someone funny and nice,
I remember you as someone caring and stubborn,
I remember you as someone sweet, cute, having nice ties,
I remember you as someone who was there when I needed you…

I have talked a lot with you, did things with you, never had any problems with you … Whenever you dropped by my place I always had that funny and happy feeling because of you …

You where a certain sun around me, you had the warmth and you had the light … You told me things in trust, which I gladly accepted and kept in my heart and soul …

I like you a lot, and I find it terrible this has happened, we’ve lost you Tom … It feels so bad … Unacceptable …

~=~ -=- ~=~

~=~ -=- ~=~
Something you deserve is peace now,
It where 5 wonderfull years knowing you!
Hey lil Tom,
Rest In Peace

Your friend,
Still there,
knowing you,
in grief,

My way of living (with ADHD)?

January 30, 2003 in Featured, front by ZKboi

A lot of people knowing me think I am weird …

This is partially because I am very straightforward; I am very humoristic most of the times, have a mood when I wake up and have different moods during the day. I am sleepy at undefined times and restless at night. Loose things very fast, am very creative, do things “my way”. I am very rightious and very neutral in reactions, I am very easy distracted, have currently 14 windows open and am doing multiple things at the same time …

I have my own way of drawing things, which can be found on my Project Art website, my own way of living, my own way of thinking which you can see on this site … Am also very artistic in things .. even in music …

It started to get me thinking …
I have been thinking a very long time about this and I never had a explanation for it .. Though I felt like a individual using all his brainpower (and body) to reach something …

I feel good !…
I have reached a lot of goals, I feel quite good with these goals, I have a satisfaction making my own sites, making my own photographs and drawings, making/playing my own (style of) music, doing everything my way … and it feels good!

I am kindof a guy that does a lot and can do a lot and I feel I achieved good history for my life :)

ADD/ADHD ?
Until a few days ago everything was starting to make sense … Talking to a American friend who has the same symptoms.
He told he as having ADD/ADHD which make me curious and I started looking around on the web. I came on some very serious interesting tests and started to fill them in on myself.

ADD means Attention Defecit Disorder

All those questions in that test where so obvious to me, all characteristics I have been having for my life are all in those single tests. After finishing the tests these suggested me to go to a doctor and to do a test with him. That’s what I will be doing in my next phase … Altough I am pretty sure I do have it because I know myself good enough to answer those tests on the Internet.

What does this mean to me ?
I finally started to know the reason why my behavior is like that, I finally started to know why I am mostly late when I have a appointment, why am I sometimes that chaotic with my papers and why I am very artistic … It all started to give me a sense in my own life … It’s nice to know and it’s nice to have a certain recognition for what I have, a name for it … At a lot of things I am already starting to improve, I am less chaotic, I am less messy and I am more time-prone but still it stays sitting there in my brain it I am still a mess at my own administration ..

“Time is a blackhole for me, Music gives back my time!

I can base alot of my time on music, how long I work, how long I shower …
When playing for a audience I use my feeling to feel the crowd, I am using their time!

What does this mean to you ?
Nothing more and nothing less, if you know me in real life you should already know I am a pretty strange person… And you come along with me or you don’t; that’s the same I think with other people :) I like somebody or I don’t like somebody.


So here is a little WARNING to you!…

Just be warned before you make decisions I do not want to listen to you or I am uninterested because I might be VERY interested but my mind is just not pointing to it at that moment.

What’s the good side and the bad side?
I am going to make a extensive list here with both good and bad sides … Why? Because I do not want to make a usermanual on my site how I am and how I react, but rather want to make a nice reference how I think in good ways and in bad ways.

Now, currently I am actually wondering if I should be starting with the (-) or with the (+) but since it has both points I will start with a positive point because I live positive by it …

positive (impact) negative (impact)

This list is not complete, it only describes; in own words; what I go through and even what you could go through with me being ADHD. A lot of things I have found ways to already cope with it and minimize the bad results but also a lot of things I have not. I did found my guts to be very safe with everything I say and do so I never bring my or anothers life in danger! Another good note, everything in BOLD is quite interesting to know!

  • (+) I feel/notice unique relationships between people very fast and respect these with any cost!
  • (+) I like to show my work to people, get positive comments about my work but I see through comments that are being lied or just to “start a conversation” …

  • (-) I cannot read books very easy, I tend to start very focussed but my interest in reading fades away when turning the pages …
  • (-) I have troubles with intimicy, am sometimes childlish, egocentric and can suck up attention.
  • (-) I have difficulties seeing the needs and activities of somebody else as a needed thing…
  • (-) I am inpatient when something does not work out, sometimes even have the feeling to run away from certain situations …
  • (-) I have frequent mood changes on one day, I can go from extremely happy to extremely sad of stubborn …
  • (-) Sometimes I can get very-very mad, I keep adding to the bucket and once it cannot get one drip more I can have a hysterical outburst … better don’t be in my neightbourhood then !
  • (-) I think too much and tend to stay awake at night when thinking too much, I think peeing, I think sleeping and even if I am dead I’d probably stay thinking!
  • This list is of’course not complete but it describes my feeling pretty much, how I react and how I think and lots of this has to do with ADD/ADHD.
    “A Leo with ADHD …
    a good combination?

    Trying to perfectionize the inperfect!

    What does this mean in short ?…
    To only describe the negative things in ADD/ADHD…

    Time is a black hole for me, I am not always motivated because things go too well or things tend to not go at all because they are too similar every time. I need to heve changes in my
    life and it needs to stay interesting for me. Deskwork would never work for me and people (and me!) need to go straight-to-the-point. Don’t try to lie because most of the times I will look through your lies anyway :) Read my list above here and I’ll probably get some feedback by email?

    What now ?
    Nothing more .. I already am learning to live with it, I have papers in every room, I take notes whenever I need to, I keep to-do lists for my work, I keep all my emails and logs of my conversations so I can easy remember what/who/where something happened …

    As a matter of fact this article is not finished yet, and I will finish it as soon as I can, this is already a lot of words coming out of my guts and actually also a WARNING to other people so they know who they are talking to.
