Awesome Interview

The guys from Justice really kick ass, a must see doc is A Cross The Universe with them. It's their trip through USA. With lots of sex, liquer and many more antics

I love the holidays

A really cute Christmas card, I got this card from Kimberly. Thanks beeb, it's really too cute!

Christmas with my family means a lot food and I want to share the pictures with you guys and gals. 

The many meat

My favorite rice, Nasi Koening.

Mmmmm, shrimp tempura!

Many are wondering: Where do you work, Miguel. Well, I work at a men's clothingstore. It's not a big of a deal, but I get paid. And this was a sad, not-so-crowded day at the "office". 

Hanging out with the Kid

My awesome niece stayed with us during the holidays, she loves presents and she got a lot of them from her daddy(my bro) and my parents. This little angel cheered everybody with her awesome giggly smile and naughty antics. During Christmas, she wore the most adorable dress. Check it out! 

This isn't a Christmas picture, but it's still cute!

I am waiting...

Waiting for that special day. Waiting when that day finally comes when everything is different than others. I'm am not talking about Christmas, but since I brung that word up. First let's talk about it. Tomorrow that day is finally here! A day filled with gifts, food, no worries, family and love. Tomorrow I can give my parents special holiday hugs and show them lots of love. For me, that is what Christmas is all about, love and family!

So back to that day...

2008 was one hell of a ride. I lost someone who is dear to me. I went trough the darkest hole ever, I know for now how real pain is. 2008 was the coming of the Dark Passenger and the Madness. In a way, it was the complete wrong evolution. I really though that 2008 was going to be my year, but it went so wrong. Last year was totally different, more joy, more cheerfull people, but it will be more darker. Every year I say the same thing, this year will be awesome and it will be my year. But I predict, 2009 will be dark and more sinister than ever. My wishes are still on the shelf. My biggest wish to go to NYC is still unfullfilled and that special someone in my life is also on the waiting list. Yeah, I hope either one of these wishes come true. Maybe this Christmas it will be different, but it still an enigma.

As I sit here, looking outside, into the darkness, I feel connected with the darkness. The darkness is empty but has all kinds of things hidden in it. Just like me. I have all these emotions/feelings. I always hope for a light, a light to bring a better perspective into the darkness.

This feeling is far, far, far to deep for Christmas eve. So I put the feelings aside and be jolly, feel the love of my family and many more. I wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and an Awesome New Year.

So for now...

Freakin' Awesome

This is one of the best episodes of the Terrible Thunder Lizards.

Just listen

Macadamia Madness

My favorite Ben & Jerry's icecream was Chocolate Brownie Fudge. But now, I have a new favorite ( I am sorry brownie!) icecream flavour. My favourite nut is the macadamia nut, it's a bit salty with a hint of butter flavour, it is glorious! Now Ben & Jerry made a new flavour with macadamia nuts covered with chocolate in a chocolate and vanilla icecream. Friends, I tastes just like heaven (since I really don't know what heaven tastes like, I am using my imagination) and it is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My new addiction!

Inner Battle

Who wants to take on me! The Madness! Nobody? Is everybody afraid of the Madness? What about you, emo? No, there is no time for Emo. Emo wants shelter, so he is has hidden himself. What about the Dark Passenger? No, the Dark Passenger is no match for the Madness. It looks like the Madness will reign supreme with this one. 

When the darkness fall, the Madness laughs the loudest! The Madness craves for insane idiotic things to do! The Madness wants to fill itself with anger and sadistic elements, this is the fuel that the Madness lives for. The Madness will only comes in weak moment. Lately, when I feel down, the Madness takes control. No, more Emo or the Sad one. But that darn Madness. Can no one suppress the phenom?

Well, there is one that can hold his ground against that huge force and that is the Spirit of Good Will. This spirit fuels on giving and not on taking, this spirit is not that egotist as the Madness. Especially these days the Spirit of Good Will is in an extra good mood, with buying presents and candy for everybody. So this is a epic between Good and Evil.

Will Evil reign high, or will Good overcome the Evil?

Noodles vs Pasta

Noodles vs Pasta, who will win? I don't know, I mentioned that in Amsterdam central station a pasta place is opened with glorious pasta, but I also love noodles from an Asian restaurant called Eat-Mode. Julia's has been opened for a few weeks now and I've been there at least three times a week, that is a lot. Yes, I am a sucker for pasta, but when I am in China-Town, I always go to Eat-Mode. So I think it is going to be a tie.

What do you think? 

Beef Udon Noodle soup @ Eat-Mode

Seafood Udon Noodle dish @ Eat-Mode

Tortilli salsicco @ Julia's

Penne Bolognese with Rucola @ Julia's

And this is my awesome Asian dish

Beef, Sugar Snaps, Union Udon Noodle dish

Ray of Light

My niece loves presents, so my mom gave her a princess flashlight and she loved it! She flashes everything, hihi, pretty cute! 

Revoltech: Dante

Yes, I finally got it! Revoltech's Dante. Dante is a character from the Devil May Cry series and trust me, he is awesome!!!!! So Revoltech ( an Asian Toy Company ) made the Dante character. This dude kicks ass and got lots of weapons like: a sword, guns and a scythe. After weeks of craving it, I finally got it!

Julia's Awesomeness

I am a sucker for pasta, mmm. And now I am lucky, because Amsterdam's Central Station has a pasta take-away, called: Julia's. The first thing that popped into my head. Is it Julia Vaughn's pasta joint? Hihi. No, it couldn't be. Too bad, it isn't. It's just an Italian take-away restaurant with a pasta theme. Well, my dear friends, it is awesome! Since the opening of that take-away it is always very, very crowded, always a huge waiting line. But today, finally, my chance to get some of that awesome pasta. I ordered a tortilini with carbona sauce and Wesley took a penne with salmon. They prepared the pasta infront of our very own eyes! Like awesome! After a few minutes the dishes were finished and they were served in little cute white with green boxes, so adorable! With also a sleek silver fork. We went upstairs to the train and at a bench infront of the train, we enjoyed our delish food. And trust me it was really splendid!

Julia's cute box filled with glorious pasta with that dandy fork.

It's kinda a tribute towards Julia Vaughn, don't you think?

Wesley's penne with salmon.

My tortilini with carbona sauce.

Eating pasta fiercely!

"Not Funny" women, the TV-series edition

Yes, friends, it is back, the "not funny" women and this time a special one, the TV-series edition. These are some awesome female from my favourite TV-series. These series are awesome on their own, but with the company of these gals it's even more awesomer!

From Chuck: Yvonne Strahovski ( Sarah Walker ) 

Yeah, she is Chuck's cover girlfriend, if I was Chuck I made it official!

Also from Chuck: Jordana Brewster ( Dr. Jill Roberts )

When madness reigns

Every day ends with a coverage of the darkness upon our little planet. Every day ends with people sleeping and entering their dreamworld. Everyone thinks the day has come to an end. Everybody thinks that the day will fall and tomorrow start all over againn...

So why this title: "When madness reigns"? Let me enlighten you with that. When a day ends, all your feelings are going to sleep, but for some of them, in their sleep, in their subconscious, a new world opens, new feelings, other emotions. For others, happiness or perhaps sadness, but for me, madness. Don't be afraid fooks, it's not that kind of madness King Leonidas is talking about. It's more a madness filled with questions, questions without answers. For example: the future of Miguel. Some say, you create your own future, but in my head still wanders, what if? What if I make the wrong choices? Will, it effect me harshly? Or the girlfriendless fact, the fact that I am still single. How or why can this be true. A question that is not only wandering in my head, many of my friends are still thinking how this phenomenon can be true. These kind of questions are wandering in my head, but there is more. Not only questions, but 'the dark passenger' is also walking in my head. The desire of wanting things, the urge of filling it's needs, mostly material aspects. And there is rage, the true madness, the feeling that even freaks me out! The madness of misunderstanding, the madness of wanting something so bad, but don't have that privilege. It is a little bit of jealousy towards the world, jealousy towards everyone who feels good, who has a special someone in their lifes, who is privileged with luck. Luckily, the madness will not transform into pent op aggression. Luckily, I will not bash windows with chairs or trowning glasses towards walls or break my laptop/pc. No, my friends, that day will not come, don't be afraid. But in my head I can break as many windows, glasses, laptops as I want, because I locked that animal. Soon as the night ends and the mornings breaks through, the madness can sleep, the madness can rest and reload his energy for a new session, for a new night and then... Then the madness can reign again...

Strike first!

Strike hard!

No Mercy!

Toys are Awesome

Yup it's a fact, I love toys. I don't let the toys in the box. Nope, I unwrap it from the box and I play with it. So, in my busy life, I took the liberty to show you my new pride to my collection. First of all, Silver Surfer from Marvel:

To me, My board!

Yes, search for new planets!

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

It's Kinon & Viral!

And this is the pride of my collection, Mr Oliver Queen aka The Green Arrow:

Don't worry

I know you're thinking, when are we going to see new posts and new segments, don't worry my friends, they are coming ( that's what she said ). Currently I am pretty much busy with school and other stuff, but soon more 'Not Funny' girls, Room Raiders, Inner Battles and other great stuff, but I really need your patient.

Oh and meet my new tagline: 

Strike First!

Strike Hard!

No Mercy!

A weekend with the kid with class

A week has gone by, a week full with sadness and other depressive stuff. *sigh* But my little niece Alysha cheered me up, first she ate with chopsticks always made me happy and then the next day she draw a picture for me.

Hihi, silly girl

Yeah, she digs the chopsticks

A pretty picture

A picture from above

Hihi, she is really a cute angel

Sound & Vision.

Oh, friends, what a hard and difficult week it was, really emotional and with lots of work for school. I went on a school trip to Sound & Vision in Hilversum, it was a blast, but I wasn't in the right state of mind. Yes, I enjoyed my stay there, but I could enjoyed it ever more when my heart was at the right place. 

Our task from school is to make an advice report for Sound & Vision. So all the first years classes went to this building to get some ideas and to get some intel about the main project. 

So some pictures of the Sound & Vision day:

Pretty awesome building

The many windows

It looks crazy

Wesley taking pictures of stairs, don't ask why

The Enterprise with a giant alien, who wants to attack it

Cool robots!

A robot hero!

What's up Bats, what's up Spidey
