I-phone picture of the camp fire at the BBQ. Yes - the quality sucks but the fire was nice. Honestly, there is no good excuse for me writing no blog articles whatsoever. My life isn't that boring you know! The past weeks I've been teaching grade 3 (awesome), I went to a midnight barbecue and had plenty of laughs, been making some new Rendered Videos, I've been throwing awesomely good at bowling (200+ games!), I've been living my life, I've been playing Halo 3: ODST, I've passed my maths test (and have a Dutch test tomorrow - it's passed midnight here -), I cut my hair, I've posted a new link in the galleries part of this blog, I've been... well what haven't I been doing? The reason why I never write blog articles is because I never bother making an article about small thing, just 'one' thing nowadays, because for that, I think my blog isn't popular enough. Instead, I tweet about it. Even for that I feel like I'm not popular enough, but at least it's way less trouble than writing an entire blog article.
Anyway, I got inspired to write this blog article because I have this urge to "twitter spam". I tweet TOO much about every random thing that's on my mind. Now it doesn't really hurt anyone... except for my 18 followers (of which 9 or so are advertisers) and anybody in my MSN list because of my WLM plug-in. Now to be honest, I want to tweet about even more than what's currently in my tweets, but even I sometimes grab a hold of myself and stop myself from posting the most rubbish tweets... that and the fact that I sometimes need more than 140 characters to explain something...
Now I'm going to do this experiment. In this blog article, starting from NOW, I'll be posting everything I want to tweet about in THIS blog article, instead of my twitter. Let's see how much I actually want you guys to know about.
Lift-off
0.12 am - Wow - Just posted another blog article and guess what? Internet Explorer messes up the lay-out, big time!
0.18 am - STOP MESSING UP THE BLOODY LAY-OUT YOU BLOODY PIECE OF MICROSOFT TRASH. Guess I'll have to fix the lay-out later when I use FF again.
0.25 am - Going to bed now. Remind me to post the Bungie Rendered Videos in this blog article.
7.07 am - Woke up. Going to school in under half an hour. I can almost use my public transport card for free traveling across the Netherlands... just... two... more... days...
7.54 am - We've been standing still in this train for way too long now. What is happening at Amsterdam Sloterdyke?
7.57 am - Barely made the tram that departed at 7.57 am, while in fact I should've taken the tram that departed at 7.47 am. Stupid VIRM!
8.20 am - I arrived second in my class, after Hannan (another intern), I guess calling the voice mail I might arrive a bit later had no use after all...
10.00 am - We went to the park to collect leaves for Hannan's task. I had a nice chat with the other intern from my school (El Nino - lol) :) I got a tip from Amanda (ANOTHER intern), mind my word choice.
11.15 am - Wow some people really have trouble learning the multiplication tables. I've tried so many different strategies onto tackling difficult multiplication exercises like 9x9...
... and yet it did not feel like they quite got the hang of handy ways of calculating the exercise. Those people will seriously have to practice the multiplication tables! I will make sure to help them next week by playing multiplication games with them!
12.00 pm - I'm just done reading a story for the class. Two tips: talk with your face FACING the class instead of looking down to read the book and talk a bit slower so you don't skip words.
1.15 pm - Swimming time, I'm coming along to guide the class through traffic and speed them up with dressing up (because otherwise it will take too long).
3.05 pm - Back from swimming. The guiding went okay although I really had the feeling I was being strict, but I also felt it was necessary because people kept wondering off, hitting each other, not paying attention in front of them... next time I'll be taking more action and talk less to make them try and stop. I guess I'll just have to make them hold hands, talk softly and let them walk next to me if they're not hurrying up enough... let's be the less nice teacher... It did help I knew the names now btw!
3.40 pm - Going home. I did fine said the teacher.
4.06 pm - Dammit! I just missed the train from 4.04 pm, since when are those goddamn trains on time? Now I have to wait 13 minutes for the next train.
4.30 pm - @ home. Going to update my blog article and chat some more on MSN.
6.20 pm - Done uploading most of my rendered videos to my Youtube account. The play list can be found here. Please don't mind the spelling and grammar mistakes in the description though, I'll fix those when I feel like it.
6.31 pm - Two things: 1 - I'll have to study the Dutch test for tomorrow and 2 - The Public Transport Card that will be legal for me to use in two days will make me able to travel across the Netherlands for free, w00t!
7.14 pm - "Hi it's Vince with slap chop....!" Thanks Double M, for getting that song stuck in my head again. Good thing I found a download link for the .mp3 file. w00t.
7.37 pm - More nostalgia. Checking old youtube videos I once posted on my account...
7.47 pm - My blog has been visited for more than ten times today :) Apparently making actual blog articles DOES increase the popularity of this blog. Spamming the link to this blog article to everybody in my msn list apparently helps too though... Also - Boeing 7.47 PM time.
8.09 pm - Today's new millennium has started. And how... I know the reason for some of the FFFs - I cannot load my way too big Woopyland inbox, containing thousands of old PMs sent to me by fellow Woopyland members. I guess my inbox does need a bit of a clean-up. I bet I waste 2 mb of Woopyland space in just my inbox size.
8.13 pm - I just got a brilliant idea for another page in my blog, or wherever... I'm going to finally start making a Jisezism dictionary (jargon)! Everytime I come up with a Jisezistic word (like 'gamla' or 'FFF'), I'll put it in there and explain the Dutch and English meaning of it.
8.36 pm - Xbox time... for a bit. Just to keep my xbox blog a bit interesting to read...
9.15 pm - Xbox time is over... Firefight on normal (on your own) is properly difficult. I managed to get some fancy medals today though.
9.41 pm - Started writing the Jisezistic jargon. Not gonna use Google Docs, I'm just gonna put it in a .pdf and update it every month or so.
11.25 pm - Haven't touched Dutch yet. Will do later. Still working on the Jisezistic jargon. It's a hells job, but someone has to do it.
7.54 am - We've been standing still in this train for way too long now. What is happening at Amsterdam Sloterdyke?
7.57 am - Barely made the tram that departed at 7.57 am, while in fact I should've taken the tram that departed at 7.47 am. Stupid VIRM!

11.15 am - Wow some people really have trouble learning the multiplication tables. I've tried so many different strategies onto tackling difficult multiplication exercises like 9x9...
1. when calculating 9x9 after 8x9
8x9 = 72
72+9 = 81
2. 8x9 = 72
72 + 10 = 82
82 - 1 = 81
3. 10x9 = 90
90-9 = 9x9 = 81
4. 8x9 = 72
Make it 80 (+8), how much do you have left?/have you got enough? Yes, 1 left.
80+1 = 81
5. 9x9 = 80 something (like 8x9 = 70 something)
You add 1 because 10-9 = 1 (10x9 = exactly 90; 10-10 = 0)
80+1 = 81
6. 9x9 = (5x9)+(4x9)
9x9 = 45 (half of 90) + 36
45+36 = 40 + 41 = 81
8x9 = 72
72+9 = 81
2. 8x9 = 72
72 + 10 = 82
82 - 1 = 81
3. 10x9 = 90
90-9 = 9x9 = 81
4. 8x9 = 72
Make it 80 (+8), how much do you have left?/have you got enough? Yes, 1 left.
80+1 = 81
5. 9x9 = 80 something (like 8x9 = 70 something)
You add 1 because 10-9 = 1 (10x9 = exactly 90; 10-10 = 0)
80+1 = 81
6. 9x9 = (5x9)+(4x9)
9x9 = 45 (half of 90) + 36
45+36 = 40 + 41 = 81

0.12 am - 24 hours have passed and I've stopped myself from writing a total of 26 Tweets about today by posting them in this blog article. That's more than 1 tweet an hour. This does result in the conclusion that I'm a twitter addict. From now on I'll be posting tweets again at my twitter page. Expect a new blog article about my Dutch test and my Jisezistic Jargon later today (that's still in september yes!)
But for now... Cheers,
