First of the year

Not for the first time, but from now on as always, I will be blogging in English. This is because on my foreign travelling (and future studying) I make more and more friend with who I like to share my life and experiences.

Today's gonna be just a short blog. I just ate my dinner and got back to sitting again, because my legs hurt due to playing football and walking home (45min) because of my third flat tire this week. I'm bloody gonna buy a new one, cause I'm fed up with having nothing decent to ride.
I also got my new phone, it's a SonyEricsson K850i, the successor of the K800i (my previous cell). Cool thing though, better controls (buttons) and an even greater 5MP camera! This will keep me satisfied for another year.
About the football, I played quite a good match as a controlling midfielder. It was good to play with my new teammates in another setting than practice. We even won, and that's quite new at the start of the season (they used to loose every year from this opponement)!
Tomorrow the new university season start, and with that my freedom ends ;). Well, kinda. I'll still be going out a lot, drink lot's of beers, play football till I drop and have fun with friends. But the thing about the start of the year is: you feel the pressure again. You actually know your screwing up your time [i]again[/i] (although you always promise yourself you'll start earlier next time) and you feel kinda guilty when your hanging around in your sloppy house-clothes in front of your laptop (or tv) (or both). But hey, that's life, I accepted it, and it's probably never going to change. All hope is on my possible future children, but they will probably do the same thing as their parents did. (Like, bollocksing around) And that doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't effect your life too much (read: get a pathetic lazy loser). Enough polarisation for now, let's hop on the final part of my blog.

I got to listen to some awesome music on Lowlands Festival 2008. This was truly the best (music) weekend ever, being paradise itself. During the day the best pop and rock has to offer, and at nights electronic music that makes you feel alive like never before. I explicitly enjoyed the gigs of N.E.R.D. (best!), Editors, The Kooks, MGMT (and el.) Simian Mobile Disco, Digitalism, Junkie XL and Erol Alkan. The last one I mentioned was the greatest surprise for me. I really enjoyed his smashing and sizzling gig that blew the Bravo tent away during the last hours of the 3-day festival. And surely, I'm gonna get back to him.
