The problem with the Internet is that everybody with a little common sense can just steal your ideas and “litterally” make it his own. It has happened to my friends, business partners and yes… even to me.
Now with Googles latest update regarding their landing page quality bot, I was affected by people who have stolen the entire concept of my site. I have counted the number of copies of that particular site and my site was copied 4 times, even my text and thumbnailed pictures were used. Even though one competitor had the curtisy of changing a few words and his affiliate codes ofcourse 
For the last two weaks I have worked my ass off to come up with new content that does not challenge content from my friends, but I am pretty sure my content will only remain “a virgin” for so long. Copycats and other fucked up people will get a hold of my site and copy my ideas into their own. Only this time, they need to be prepared to face the consequences…
On Saturday, July the 8th I was at the construction site to see how my new house was doing. Progress was made, they are now at the 6th floor. Construction workers now have, what we call in the Netherlands “Building-break” and construction will probably resume somewhere late in August.
But I don’t have to wait till that date, I can go finish the job myself On the construction site a professional photographer took a couple of shots of me in my new house. Tell me, if I loose the jacket and work out a little bit more I could be a construction worker right ?
Anyway, the open house day was really fun and very well organized by Ans de Wijn Real Estate. I always admire a company that shows their professionalism by good customer support and good organisation skills.
You could really feel that this was their way to reward the buyers for taking this big step so soon and for their early faith in the project. And what do yo know… I even got to keep the helmet 
Imagine a Sauna…
Imagine your Office…
Imagine your office in a Sauna…
Right…
My current office is located on the attic of my house, right below a slanting roof in a good sequester house. You can imagine that his is a sauna waiting to be born. And I’m not even in California
Yesterday I decided enough is enough and I went to a local electronic mega store to buy myself a mobile air-conditioning unit. Because my car couldn’t carry the unit in an upwards position it had to lay down and when I got home I still had to wait 7 hours before I could use it. Impatient bastard that I am, I couldn’t wait longer then 5 hours before using it. Luckily the environment killing CFK’s were already lowered into the device, because my office was getting noticeably colder.
Today I have had the most productive day in weeks 
I have finally been able to work for 8 hours straight again. Little downside though; I’m not able to work in my boxers anymore
I woke up this morning thinking to myself; Fuck I still need a lot of work done, but also… Only four more days until we go to Argeles sur Mer.
Our trip begins Friday morning when we go to Schiphol airport and take the plane to Barcelona. In Barcelona we pick up our rental car, find our hotel, probably hook up with some Spanish seneorita’s for dinner and breakfast and then drive to Argeles sur Mer before noon.
Argeles has promised to involve a lot of; drinking beer, cute girls, sunburn, morning croissants, insect hunting and loud talking in the public bathrooms.
According to our calculations our body can handle this inhuman environment for a little over two weeks before fatal damage occurs, so we will leave Argeles just in time for a full recovery.
Below are some shots of Argeles sur Mer and one from me and my buddy. If I don’t see you anymore before I go, you can consider this my “See you on August the 6th noteâ€
Take Care Yooo..
- Smoking is bad for your health
- Smoking causes cancer
- Smoking causes blood and heart deceases
Who hasn’t seen or heard these phrases. I have, for the last 2,5 half years. And although they went past me, and I didn’t give a fuck I have finally decided to quit smoking; for good. Actually I only smoked when we go clubbing or just when having some beers, so I never really had the feeling I couldn’t go without.
I already hid my expensive stainless steel lighter and my friends have promised to smack the living shit out of me if I ever light one again, so this should be fun.So if I go cranky on you next time we meet, be little polite, understanding and offer me a free drink

After I quit my first year of University it was a while before I had really studied again. To be honest, I never studied again
