Me. Wants. Now.

So many things to discuss in one blog post.

Okay, let me start off with the ’scandal’ of Italian secretary Giovanardi. Last week (and this week again), he compared Dutch laws, and in particular our laws concerning euthanasia, to nazi-Germany and the 3. Reich. The man is a devout Catholic, obviously. He said that our laws permit the killing of handicapped people and such.

Complete nonsense of course. The Dutch euthanasia laws are extremely strict, and involve multiple committees and 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. opinions before a doctor is allowed to perform euthanasia on a patient. These laws are nothing but humane; one should be able to decide over one’s own life. Why should terminal cancer patients suffer needlessly? Because god wants it so? In that case, FCUK YOUR STUPID GOD, Mr Giovanardi. Up his ass, I tell you. Oh, is that the same god that promotes apartheid (gay people have less rights than straight people), the killing of non-believers and genocide (crusades, Spanish conquest in Latin-America), the inherent social inequality of women (original sin), etc., etc.? Yes?

Now you again. Pathetic excuse for a human being.

And a new witness has been heared in the Holloway case. As it appears, he or she knows the location of the body. I hope they find her soon, so we can acquit Joran once and for all.

Oh well, the Dutch have done it anyway, if it were up to Fox News.

Oh dear god how the postal service and customs of this country can piss me off. David, the owner of OSNews, has sent me a package. The package is now stuck at customs/postal office at Schiphol Airport, and today I got an envelope from them. It contained two letters, one form, one US Customs declaration, and the US Postal Service mailing labels.

The two letters say the same with different words. I need to fill out this incomprehensible form, and, what pisses me off the most, I need to send them a proof of purchase.

What the fcuk?

It’s a gift for fcuk’s sake! I don’t have a damn proof of purchase, because I did not buy anything, you stupid fcuksticks! It says so damn clearly THREE TIMES in all the documentation that it’s a gift. Should David have sent a chearleading team to fcuking sing it to the people at customs before they’d understand it?

So, I planned on giving them a call today. I figured I’d have some time during coffee break at university, at 16:15. But wouldn’t you believe it: they close down at 16:00 hours. Oh for fcuk’s sake, they really do NOT try to hide they used to be a government agency, now, do they?

Now, I’ll call them tomorrow, saying I refuse to give them a proof of purchase. What on earth do they need it for? There might be all sorts of private information like creditcard numbers and such of David’s on that receipt. I’m not giving that to a commercial company!

We’ll see if they budge. I’m seriously pissed off. Oh how this reminds me of that one time Eugenia sent me a “SHARP Zaurus” and customs got all suspiciious about the package’s contents and called us to see what was in it. They seriously deserve the Fcukstick Award.

And all this on the same day that another fcukstick, Dutch politician Geert Wilders, announced he wants to abolish article 1 of our Constitution: exactly, the article of equal treatment. This is the most important article in our constitution, which states that anyone, no matter colour, religion, sexual orientation, or whatever, should deserve an equal treatment from anyone, everyone, or anything. Basically, it’s a prohibition on discrimination of any kind, and the roots to our civilised laws such as gay marriage (countries who do not allow i.e. gay marriage or euthanesia are barbaric and uncivilised to me). It’s the very BASIS of our society. He wants to abolish it because he says he needs that to correctly fight immigration problems.

Fcuk you, Wilders.

I’m famous! I’m famous! Where’s my trailer? Fill my trailer with water!

As always, read the real deal at the Expose Kelly McNeill page.

I’m now officially using my iBook as a desktop machine. All this made possible due to the superb Screen Spanning Doctor: an app which enables the full dualscreen capabilities f many Macs. Apple disables these software-wise for procuct differentation– within their good right. Just too bad they aren’t smart enough to stop people from finding legal ways around this.

I bought a new keyboard for this today (a real Mac keyboard, I love those). The ext. screen runs its full potential (1280x1024), and is used as the main screen. The internal iBook one is used as a secondary screen, to hold Adium’s contact list, iTunes, etc: things that normally only get in the way. Simply unplug the ext. screen, and the Mac restores to its normal single-screen setup; without any problems. Settings are stored, window positions, it’s awesome.

If you don’t have a song
To sing you’re okay
You know how to get along
Humming
Hmmm

If you don’t have a date
Celebrate
Go out and sit on the lawn
And do nothing
‘Cause it’s just what you must do
Nobody does it anymore

No I don’t believe in the wasting of time,
But I don’t believe that I’m wasting mine

If you don’t have a point to make
Don’t sweat it
You’ll make a sharp one being so kind
And I’d sure appreciate it
Everyone else’s goal’s to get big headed
Why should I follow that beat being that I’m
Better than fine

Just got the relieving phonecall: they could not find anything during me mum’s first post-chemo/radiation-therapy photo checkup… I’m so intensely happy! I was so confident, but yet so scared.

Update: WORLD RECORD! Sven Kramer just brought the world record on the 10000 metres back in Dutch hands! 12:51.60!

6m50s45.

That’s how long it took 18yr old Sablikova to complete her 5000 metres during the World Championship Speedskating All-Round. That’s a new track record on one of the fastest skating tracks in the world (Calgary).

A deep bow for this young woman, ubertalented. She won’t win the all-round championship, but she may just take the 5000 metres. If no Dutch lady will take the 5000 metres, I want her to win.

Hats off.

What’s happened has happened
What’s coming is already on its way
With a role for me to play

I don’t understand
I’ll never understand
But I’ll try to understand
There’s nothing else I can do

I updated the Expose Kelly McNeil Page. He attributed a whole sets of new comments to me, all in one story, falsily of course. The fcukstick simply has no idea how IP addresses work, it’s really funny. He is somehow truly obsessed, and he is now writing ‘This is Thom’ in a comment after each comment he thinks is me. It’s… Pathetic. At best. Funny detail: many of the comments were made last night CET… I was watching a rented film with friends, with one bottle of Martini Bianco inside my bloodstream. I can’t type while drunk :D.

And if you read the so-called anonymous comments, you can easily see that most of them were written by him; they contain the same silly antics he’s been using for ages.

So pathetic. I’ve got a really pretty wall I want to decorate red, so Kelly, be my guest.

I mantain this list of cars I’m gonna buy when I’m rich (there’s no doubt about that: I’m gonna be disgustingly rich at some point in my life). There’s gonna be some rigourous changes effective today.

Here’s a reprint, with the ones that go striked through:
