Embargo Against Frustrating Time-Wasting Commercials!
Don’t you hate that moment when commercials take over that exciting moment in a movie? Not for once but for five to six times during an episode or show? I’ve had enough of it and declare an embargo against these intrusive commercials getting thrown right in the face just to gain more market potential.

Is our society too rich for the poor?
Food is thrown away and destroyed, while there is an imminent shortage with foodbanks for the homeless.
Is our society “too rich” on the cost of the poor around us?

Animal Abuse, trick or treat?
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.

Happy Days becomes Sad Days!
When GB started having cards to save points I’ve lost one card. Because the card was used together with my partner, I’ve ordered a new one as soon as Happy Days was introduced. I have never received any disclaimer until last week.
As any good citizen, I fill in the new form at GB for the transfer of the old cards to the new card. The new card was activated and the old cards were terminated. I’ve again received no rules and no mentioning about termination dates, till today at the phone.
Mattering cheap electronics!
Yesterday I went to the local electronics store where stuff gets sold for audio, video, oscilloscopes, multimeters, solder, crocodile clamps and lots more; with the moral to never throw away old electronic equipment!

(Nederlands) Mediamarkt behandelt klanten als criminelen?
Maandag, 11 juli 2005, 18:00 kom ik aan in Mediamarkt in Antwerpen om een scheermachine te kopen. Ik had alreeds 2 keer eerder in Mediamarkt de vraag gesteld om de scheerkoppen+gril voor de ES762 te bestellen. Dit is m’n huidige scheermachine, in perfecte staat, gekocht in de Verenigde Staten 5 jaar geleden. Het toestel heeft magnetische lading, dus geen kabel nodig om bij te laden en te scheren…. Als het daar maar bij bleef!

Beastie Boys crippled my PC!
My soulmate wanted to rip the CD to put on his Archos Jukebox, since he is not using CD’s anymore but still buys them to be legal and to have the full version.
Since I have put in the CD I can’t run my company invoice system anymore, can’t do anything at all with that cdrom drive, can’t even play a game. Every time I put in the CD it cannot be recognized by my system.
Almost beaten to death …
Saturday night, 14th may 2004, me, Pi (my soulmate) and Jo (a good friend who wanted a ride to central station) went to my car. At the other end of the street there are 2 heavy men with black uniforms walking towards us.
Jo wanted to close the door while I was already standing at the door of the drivers side. Suddenly the 2 guys jump to the door of Jo, pull it open and the guys start to bash Jo in my car by kicking in his face with combats.
Living in a clueless society?
I am writing this article as a “cry for attention”, because I don’t really feel home anymore in this society. I see a lot of things changing and I don’t find it positive at all.
I see lack of respect, lack of principles, lack of safety, less friendlyness between people, more and more egoistic people (on the road), more demand to power and money, more criminality, more trash, discrimination and I see a society that’s really killing eachother …
When corporations are the law…
Hillary Rosen, the CEO of the RIAA (Records Industry Association of America) wants ISP’s and telecommunication companies to pay a fee for giving customers access to music swapping software.
This way the RIAA wants to recoup all lost sales and money because of music piracy. Next to that Hillary mentioned on the Midem music conference that more CD’s should be protected against piracy and licensing restrictions and download services by subscription should also be taken care about; She urged this to the major record labels like BMG, Sony music, Warner music, EMI and Universal.

Antverpia: Dead or alive!
With a sad heart I am actually writing this article. The time has come to write something that has been on my stumach for way too long.
Antwerpen seems to be getting a ghost town at certain ways and seems to be alive at other ways …
Drugs and misuse!
These days you cannot go out without checking your glass two times in a row before putting it on your lips to drink the schweet stuff you have ordered from the bar. I had it myself, somebody putting “Roche” in my glass while I was talking to somebody else in Groningen. This “rape drug” renders you almost unconciounce and unable to move. It’s like “GHB” and any derivates around there.
