I have a little guest in the house for the next 2 weeks. Garfield, my neighbors’ cat it staying with me while they’re out of town. I’ve never had a pet before, so this is going to be a bit of a challenge for me. But he’s a very nice cat, and I’m sure that we’ll get along just fine.
I spent the afternoon with a friend yesterday; played with the dog for a while. Tonight, before going to bed, I found this little parasite on my body.
I’ve been bitten by a tick! And removing it hurt a lot more than I expected it to do. Hopefully I won’t develop Lyme disease. I’ll know more in 6 to 8 weeks, ‘cause that’s how long it takes for Lyme disease to show.
I don’t think I’ve ever said this out loud and in public… But there is a time and a place for everything.
To my Dad: you paid the ultimate sacrifice to get me started. Sure enough, we had our differences. But you thought me well, and I wouldn’t be were I am now without you. Thanks Dad!
Because of you
I’ll never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I have never liked real-estate agents. I never understood their purpose. I mean: they are your typical door-to-door sales people that take a commission on selling other people’s property. What’s their added value anyway?
But now there is one that is starting to piss me off, big time! The most renowned real-estate agent in Turnhout is selling my house. And in the process, they are only adding to my dislike. They have absolutely showed no respect for my property and for me as an owner. They leave the doors unlocked when they visit the house with potential buyers; that has happened to me twice. They leave windows unlocked and the blinds open. They don’t close doors in the house. And despite 2 formal complaints, they continue to do so.
If you’re looking for a real-estate agent, best stay away for this one.
I am a Cisco certified engineer since the end of 2000; a Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) to be exact. The certification is valid for 3 years. After 3 years one has to pass an exam to recertify.
I was supposed to recertify my Cisco CCNP certification before April 5th. I passed the exam today. Yippeeeeeeee! I’m really happy about this. The exams get tougher every time and I was not looking forward to cramming for the exam. Passing this test is a little speck of light in an otherwise pitch black night.
It took a lot of work, and I did not succeed at my first try. But I did succeed in the end. And that’s what counts. I can pride myself on being Cisco certified for the next 3 years.
The times are tough now, just getting tougher
This old world is rough, it’s just getting rougher
Cover me, come on baby, cover me
Well I’m looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
Promise me baby you won’t let them find us
Hold me in your arms, let’s let our love blind us
Cover me, shut the door and cover me
Well I’m looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
Outside’s the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn out the light, bolt the door
I ain’t going out there no more
This whole world is out there just trying to score
I’ve seen enough I don’t want to see any more,
Cover me, come on and cover me
I’m looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
Looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me

I don’t feel like doing a lot right now. I have hardly any interest
in the world around me.
To keep my mind off of things, I’ll look at some photo websites from time to time. One of them gave me an idea for a new design for the DIFO website. I Worked on it in my free time all last week. I’m happy with the result, so are my colleagues at DIFO. It made me a bit happy.
Will it make it easier on you, now you got someone to blame?
You say one love, one life, when it’s one need in the night.
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don’t care for it.Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love and you want me to go without.
Well, it’s too late tonight to drag the past out into the light.
We’re one, but we’re not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other… one Have you come here for forgiveness,
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much, more than a lot
You gave me nothing, now it’s all I got.
We’re one, but we’re not the same.
Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again.
You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law.
You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
And I can’t be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.
One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should.
One life with each other: sisters, brothers.
One life, but we’re not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other.
One, one.
