Humane leadership.
Humans. Why are they cool? Hard to tell. In the office lately, there are so many flaws. Yet I love my job. What makes that difference with this job and so many others?
Other companies have autonomy issues. Their employees have such potential, yet their freedom is restricted. Small managers, supervisors or the “middleman” has equaled problems and hindrance in my career. But maybe it...

Glimpse.
Minds that blow. Away. Slowly. Shy guys (in that game, shooting) as their consciousness left.
Empty eyes.
You can never force. What you can’t hold. Powers.
You scream, challenge me, the echo reaches your ear.
Empty lies.
Life gave you a knife, instead.
Boldness can be so (un)sexy.
Death breath on your neck.
“Let me see your teeth”
Death needs to floss. Swallow. Gurgle....
Travel buddy?
Freedom? A pleasure, curly. Are you going on a date, they said.
Social life is always the first to fall, bouncing in between the job and the study. It doesn’t bother me as much as it would’ve 10 years ago. But the fact is, I’ve got many acquaintances and few friends, completely my fault, relationships take time to build.
I don’t miss stuff, appreciate the presentness of...

Sleep?
Should, would, could. But iPhone 4S is out. Thoughts from Google engage and Paris are still spinning around. And the weird “dating culture” of Amsterdam, which I never really thought about before becoming single.
Does Dutch dating even exist? Coughing and not feeling well at all, I took a stroll around my office today. It struck me that a good couple of times by now, guys have been...

Knife on throat.
Don’t pull a gun. Untie me, just leave the ring on the rail.
We couldn’t care less, about the man behind the knife. The blood he poured, who knows. His own or somebody else’s. You don’t see his guts in the dark, when you’re walking home alone at night. The scars.
Love will never die, but it kills you in the blink of an eye. Stop floating around, you blood. Bloody...

Google VS Apple. From a consumers perspective.
I’d in most instances promote Google. Many times a hard call. But I found the thing from a consumer point of view that Apple does better. At every keynote I’ve seen lately, they release products and services simultaneously around the world. This means their fans in Europe doesn’t feel less than just because they aren’t in the U.S. I watched latest 1/0 Google announcement...

“A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.”

Move freely in all directions. A wide variety of skills. Music. To enjoy both worlds of things. Having many different abilities. Flexibility. Great diversity. Inconstant. Variety. Changeling. Global changes. Mood changes. Change! Competent multiskiller. Ability to turn with ease from one situation to another. Good for many things. Hireable by anyone and no one. Adaptable.

Furry friends.
You know that small creature needs not to say a word, bit still says so much. Love and hate never was verbal anyway, so why do we keep on pretending it is? Furry friend goes furbee. And he has to do nothing at all to generate a smile.

“Why all this hostility?” He said.
I just saw an episode of South park before sleep. About Apple and stuff.
“…otherwise, why even be here?” Jobs said. The dent. In the universe. Sometimes universe is small, tiny, in fact. The dent needs to be everywhere, otherwise why even be here?

Impressed.
Impressed by the Dutchies. Got my OV chipcard back (public transport worth 1 year) from a guy 65+ probably. He sent me a message on Facebook. Ain’t that cool. And my mate got his card back the same way, through Facebook. It is a fantastic database for people, if nothing else.
The difference it makes.
Did you hear What difference does it make?
I hate this feeling of being happy for months and then waking up, feeling like a stupid fool behind all the lies. Why is it always hazy, this stuff? Am I ever going to understand. People, they just fuck with your head, don’t they. There are

Michelangelo art. Dead shoes. Peak performance. Seizures. How’s living around it. How is it to live WITH epilepsy? Maybe one day, I’ll tell. Stronger.

Texts from a rebel perspective.
Grammatically correct writings are boring. Why? The next step in the evolution, when you know the rules, is to break them.
Did you play Zynga games? I heard their boss doesn’t give a shit whether they copy their software as long as it sells. When will software ethics impact us similarly to physical goods? We still play.

Fragments of alive. Fragile life. When a bug enters the hardware of a human being machinery. As all machines there are. We’re all robots, it’s the software that makes aliens.
In a Chinese arrival/departure card they name foreigners “aliens”. Am I alien or just alienated. Alienating. Eat me. It. As the spit on their rubbish bins.
Don’t spit or leave cigarette butts...
“Run for your life”
– K Rozen, about the Chinese strategy. How to survive in traffic.
"Nigga what?"
In Chinese, that means “ehh”. If you express too much, you lose face. You can also lose someone else’s face. The Dutch couldn’t handle it. Every time our guide said these words I heard giggles.
If you can’t lose face, can you ever live in the moment? I always thought Asians knew how to.
Food first, business (cards) later.
Will you still hang your wife first?
