Feyenoord slaughters PSV in cupmatch
OMG! Yesterday Feyenoord beat PSV with 0-3 in a cup-match. It was an amazing match. Feyenoord showed a lot of skill, self-confidence and discipline. Tomasson, El Ahmadi and Vlaar played a fantastic match. De Vrij played one heck of a debut-match!
“It was just luck” or “Financially, Feyenoord is going downhill”, etc… Well, that might be but every club is financially...

HipHop M.O.P. remain raw
Mash Out Posse, aka M.O.P., have been doing their thing over 15 years. I have been following them for quite sometime now. Their second album is a classic in my collection. For some strange reason they decided to become mainstream. They turned their raw HipHop into sometime ugly. A hit like “Ice Cold” is even heard on television.
Its 2009/2010 and with their latest album...

Food Chain: You don't win friends with salad!
A lot of people are disgusted by our current food-chain (see picture) but hey, you don’t win friends with salad, hehe! Yesterday I watched a Simpsons’ episode entitled “Lisa the Vegetarian”.
Here is a remarkable quote from the show which is a true life-lesson to all:
Lisa: When will all those fools learn that you can be perfectly healthy simply eating vegetables,...
Lower & Higher Dutch Education
Over the years education changed in the Netherlands. New names, materials, theories, studies, etc… In 1857 an education-law gave birth to ‘Mulo’ (aka Ulo). After a four-year study, you could study at a ‘hbs’. ‘Mulo’ was replaced by ‘mavo’ by the so-called ‘Mammoetwet’ in 1968. The ‘hbs’ was replaced by the...

Something for You?
Yesterday a new artist Alexander Price was featured on MusicRemedy (genre: Pop/electro). He has a new album coming out. I was looking at a couple of press photos when my eye caught this specific pose:
I noticed that this is his ‘style’. It’s not my ‘thing’ :-/.
My dog falls through ice
Yes, it was awfull. My dog (a ‘Schipperke’) ran onto the pond but didnot notice a hole. She fell into it. She never swam before yet she managed. The ice was too thin for humans to walk on and she was in the middle of the pond.
Thankfully, some sort of wooden structure was near the hole which I could crawl on. I managed to get near the hole. I needed to swim a little bit to get her out...
