It’s Saturday!

Posted on January 15th 2012 by Timo

Even though I take pleasure in simple things, I cannot even begin to count all the little things I enjoy in life. Unfortunately I sacrificed many of them last year. Not that I necessarily have any regrets, but I will treat the evenings and weekends lost as a lesson learned. Start reading →

Ten years on the edge

Posted on October 9th 2011 by Timo

For the past decade I've called myself straight edge. It's been very easy to be myself, to be what I've always been. It doesn't make me better than anyone else, but it is who I am. If someone has a problem with it, well, it's their problem and not mine. Start reading →

Being eight time zones away

Posted on August 31st 2011 by Timo

Vacation should be when you truly relax. You shouldn't have to worry about going back to work and you shouldn't even think about it. I've come to realize that distance is what really sets me in vacation mode. My mind needs some time off from everyday life, not just from work. Start reading →

Life and how we live it

Posted on February 7th 2011 by Timo

When I see people complaining and whining about the same things time after time, I can't help but think their time would be better spent doing things they love, instead of things they hate. Our minutes are numbered and the direction of your life is up to you and you only. Start reading →

The Lives of Others

Posted on January 30th 2011 by Timo

Aside from being a good movie, the lives of others also seem to play a very big role in some people's lives. These people can't tell the difference between facts and opinions, and they always need to be right - even when it comes to opinions. "Sure, let me just get an advice from someone online how to live my life." Start reading →

When I was 13

Posted on January 23rd 2011 by Timo

While listening to Mentally Murdered at work the other day, I felt certain nostalgia. It has been one of my favorite Napalm Death releases ever since I bought it. This got me thinking about what it was like to be a music fan/collector before the internet. Start reading →

New Year’s Resolutions 2011

Posted on January 1st 2011 by Timo
