We're back at it

The full line up for the 2010 Winterfest is released, we've got some great bands playing so show up early. Pre-sale is available through Fnac stores at 14 euro, but those wankers will probably charge you alot more.

Stay tuned for Ieperfest 2010, august 13 - 15.
First names are dropping in and I can assure you the are well worth it!

it's been two years

meet Jasper






we were pretty close buddies two years ago when I started out in college
one of the funniest dudes I met back then, he had just turned 18

he'll be 18 forever
GoneButNotForgotten

07-10-1926

So, for christmas eve Micha and me decided to do some improv, which resulted in homemade hummus with some crazy ingrediënts, which we stuffed in a paprika. Besides that stuffed aubergines added with pasta and salad. life is good














These are some pictures from past summer I took with my analogue camera, never took the time to upload them until now, really like how they turned out
brings back some good memories















These are my grandparents, the one part of the family I can relate to
My grandad has alzheimer and he has good and bad days, but according to himself he'll be 53 years old forever
and today was a good day for him

I don't really get why he's 'stuck' in 30 years ago when he was 53
something must've happened then

He still has the ability to make my laugh so hard but at the same time it feels weird and hard for me to not talk to him about serious things in life, simply because he doesn't understand and yet I know he'd be the only one in my family who really get's me, so we stick to the smalltalk and the jokes
In the this picture I just missed him sticking out his tongue, would've been the best picture ever, but this result isn't so bad either. My nan looks kinda grumpy but she really isn't!

bad boy for life

Happy X-mas!

hard luck, life sucks

meet Trash Talk.









this was probably the most insane show I ever went to, never the less organised with Genet records.

finding an available livingroom for them to play an hour in advance of their arrival, never thought it'd be that easy
of the 250 people who showed up at the original venue, some 150 showed up at the house, insane

the guys hadn't even left the van or a patrolcar showed up asking what the hell these 150 kids were doing in some quiet neighboorhood at 11pm. Everybody went in, the band set up. No mic, Lee even used headphones as a mic, and got rid of them after the first song when we were screaming along so loud you could here every word.
the set lasted about 15 minutes when the power went down during their last song, epic.
show was over, everybody dodged and split like nothing ever happened

I was not reborn for nothing


Victor and me, going off

i miss the summer

I've never been more grateful for the mistakes I've made in the past.
Realizing how and what, and learning from them brought me to where I am now, and besides a few minor things, I think I couldn't be any happier.

miss her



This is my one of my mates Ebert, more like a Brother From Another Mother then just a regular mate, turns out he's got a blog:

http://derfalter.blogspot.com/
ya dig

I have another, rather gay picture on polaroid of the two of us, I'll try to upload it whenever I can, come and see lateron and have a laugh.



I'm currently listening To Bon Iver's 'for Emma, forever ago' and it makes me re-evaluate the past months, I'll try to write something soon accompanied by the shitload of pictures I've take in that time, sit tight for more later


I'll see you when I see you

slept

but a sea apart on another beach among the bitter ashes of the world
or stood in their rags lost to the same indifferent sun

you can't go home again...

but I never really intented to.

It's been a while since I've updated this thing, mainly because of the fact I have no internetconnection at home at the moment, secondly because I'm back in school and off to work after. That or I'm spending time with some close friends or that one special friend. Once I get back on track I'll try and write some more about what happened in these past few weeks or what I still remember.

Another plus about pictures is that they help you reconstruct whatever you did in the past because it's been so long by now I wouldn't even remember what I did last week if it wasn't for photos.

these are some pictures from last weekend, hanging out and roadtrippin' to France with George Gotz Basti Wolli and Marcus from At Daggers Drawn

it was great seeing these guys again






playlist these days: Break Even, Ceremony, BLKOUT!, The First Step, Life Long Tragedy, The Effort, Hopeless


I'm missing ON tomorrow because of work, fuck

catch you on the bright side.

Sun Wah

today I wanted to order 500 kilograms of tofu at Sun Wah's and they made fun of me in Chinese

I had a laugh when they eventually realised I wasn't kidding and I needed it by thursday

di di mau, make my tofu!

fair enough?

lazy sundays

The first thing you need to know about us, we are everywhere

even in this movie

*falls out of sofa laughing*


go watch Tropic Thunder and High Fidelity
shout outs to Robert Downey Jr. and Jack Black!

A couple of weeks back Sofi starts talking to me about this building within the greater Ghent area that is currently under construction and is stripped down to just basically the walls, plumbing, electricity, stairs etc.

The buidling is about 20 stories high, which is pretty high for our city. So she heard from her friends that the door to the roof was unlocked, so we decided to check it out, it was a clear and warm sunday night that we drove up to it and started climbing.

I was pretty impressed when we ended up on the roof, I know this city practically by heart, so seeing it from another perspective was pretty rad. So I grabbed my camera and tried to take some pictures, when I realised I forgot my memorycard in my laptop so I ended up taking all of these with my cell phone. Guess I have an excuses to go back and take some decent pictures.

july 7th 2009

that's one day I won't forget overnight

cake update

I'll be working here for the next ten days starting today, looks like the best job in the world

and it pretty much is

a hundred bucks

to my name

but for 5 days I was the richest man alive.

Every year around the end of june and beginning of july, all the crazy shit tends to happen, a lot of shit happened, good and bad

I kinda neglected this thing for the past few weeks, everything started on june 16 and it pretty much ended on july 7-8.

In the past few weeks, I have met some really legit people and got to know some people a lot better, I could write a fucking book about these past few weeks and those people I met during that time but I won't, I rather leave this on a short good note than stretch it out.

I left for Berlin on saturday july 4th and came back on july 8. This trip has set me way back in my bankaccount but it was well worth it, every single bit, a few hundred bucks is pretty cheap for a life's lesson, ain't it. I want to thank Mandy for this, For taking me on the trip, for being more impulsive than me and going nuts every day and showing me the simple joys of life if you only look at them in the right way.

I had pretty much the best birthday ever, and I quite liked it since we were surrouned by unknowns and being totally anonymous in the big city, we had some of the best food ever and we did have the best cake ever made( you'll say: "what the fuck were they thinking?!" when you see the picture)

We spend some time hanging out with Ghent's finest: Amenra who were playing in Berlin on the 6th and the day afterwards with Rise And Fall who also played

The reason we went to Berlin was the following
Have Heart
me and Mandy were both bound to miss out on the 2 Belgian shows, since this tour fell together with the Miles Away tour, it was a pretty easy desicion
this show, ranks at number 1 in my top 5, a shared first place with Betrayed at Ieper last year.
Everything about this show was just right, best company, seeing new made friends again, 6 awesome bands in 1 night.

for five days I was the richest man alive
