Hi everyone. It’s been a while since I last posted here so this little update is long due. I’ve been getting a LOT of responses to this little post here, and I want to thank specifically a person called James for responding to many comments that I haven’t commented on myself. I’ve not been keeping up with those as good as I should have. Sorry about that. Although I am …

Bye bye Facebook
Today I will be removing my account from Facebook. Alongside with several thousands of other people in the Netherlands. Arjen Lubach, a famous talk-show host, has made a special event for this. In this informative video he explains in detail what Facebook has been up to and what they are capable of and have been doing with our data. This was no news for me but it’s good that a …
People tell me I’m a funny guy
People tell me I’m a funny guy. And I know I can be funny. I don’t know where it comes from or why I do it but it’s just something that helps me to get through my life or something. A coping mechanism perhaps? So I got that going for me which is nice. Here’s a lovely article I would like you to read. I’m only doing this to prove …
On the Instagramz
I caved in, again. I created a new account on the Instagramz. My previous account was hacked and it made it so that I was following thousands of people I didn’t want to follow. So I disabled the account, made a new temporary one in the meantime, and now that my previous account name became available again I re-opened ustoopia at the Instagramz. Not sure yet if I’ll be using …
Very typical
Where I live there is an important road that leads to other places one of them being the nearest hospital. Now this road has been closed down for over a week already. This was announced weeks in advance and there are signs everywhere. Downside for me is that a lot of the traffic that know their way around here come drive through my street to avoid the road block. A …
I was there! God I feel old right now…
Here’s a video from the TV-news in 1994 about the traffic chaos problems around Eindhoven the Netherlands caused by the hard-rock festival Dynamo Open Air that was visited by 125.000 people. Looking at the video now makes me feel really old because I was at this festival with two good friends when I was in my puberty and it all looks so dated looking at it now. I must say …
A quest to see the world for what it is
Let me tell you about Laurens. He’s a young Dutch guy with a fresh family and I know him because he also plays the game World of Warcraft. He became a member of our guild for a while and we had the opportunity to get to know him through Discord. He is an intelligent young man, with a great sense of humor and he also carries the ADHD label so …
My condition (Deuteranomaly)
Many people have asked me questions about my colorblindness but I’ve never been able to explain it as clear and informative as the fellow who made this video.

Eye of the needle. An Ayahuasca journey
Somebody I know, and who is very dear to me, works as a guide who hosts Ayahuasca ceremonies so naturally I wanted to know more about that and I’ve been watching a lot of stuff on youtube and that included an episode of Eye of the Needle that I posted below.
What does your life sound like?
For me personally my life feels pretty much like the following audio bits. It does get rather depressing in the end, but don’t look too much into that. From where we are standing there is only one linear path ahead of us, and that’s not a bad thing, but it can sadden me. No life without death right? No light without darkness. I could go on and on with more …
Celebrate Life
I just saw this video below and I found it to be very positive and inspiring. It’s about a company I “stumbled upon” about 20 years ago, and eventually it transformed in to something more meaningful than “just a company I knew of”. It’s difficult to describe. Let’s just say I’m thankful and proud that I had the privilege to be part of a very unique youth culture that did …
Time flies when you’re geeking out
I’ve been really busy these last few weeks setting up all sorts of IT related things since I moved to a new home with a 500 mbps fiber connection to the mother-milk-tit we call the internet. I was really getting into learning all there is to know about the 100% free Sophos UTM for Home use. But when I messed up the whole configuration and basically broke it, I decided …
