The bible should have provided more holidays

We are several days into the first month of the new year, and getting close to February as well. It has been tough to start a new year considering I have to attend a not so very inspiring job every bloody weekday. When I was waking up today I asked myself a very good question. Why are there no days off during the three first months in a year. Why do we have to wait until late April for just three lousy days during easter ?. I am not happy with the current government for this.

Come to think of it, there are several persons in the bible that sould get way more attention than they actually do. What if, for instance, Luke or Matthew died in January. Not many people know this...because we are not having a day off on that particularly day. Shame on the people who are in charge for all this.

So few days we are celebrating and so many we don`t. No wonder there are so much trouble in this world. I could have celebrated "walking on water day" today, instead of waiking up very early to brush my teeth.

When the day was over I counted at least 76 more days we should have celebrated with a day off. That is not the best inspiration for tomorrow`s workday. I do not look forward to it.

Christmas 2018

Here is a late entry about christmas 2018 that I have forgotten to post.

The first sign that the holiday is coming are all the fundrising lists we are bombarded with at work. Parents with brats that are doing sports, music related things etc. need money for their activities, so they try to sell us, not so very tasty, cookies. They have no shame.

This christmas a new list stood out. It was not raising money for brats activities, but an amateur theatre group with middle aged. I immediately suspected it to be a group of parents having an excuse to get out of the house to go to the pub. If not, they were not very talented.

If they sometimes were able to get out of the planning stage in the pub and on to a scene, the performances are most likely not a "must see" show.

A new form of list also appeared this christmas. I was told it was a "must have" wrapping paper kit. I did not write my name on that list. Will christmas 2019 bring us new exciting lists ?. Only eleven months left to find it out.

The New Years Eve

A new year has started, so I guess it is time for some reflections. I will start with new years eve. It was not a perfect celebration this time either. I blame the fireworks industry/cartel for this.

I promised to fix some fireworks for the "big" evening, so I went for sparklers. I refuse to pay 50 euros for the heavier stuff that only lasts for seven to twelve seconds. They also have silly names that are either inspired by the army or a tropical storm that has killed and destroyed a lot. Someone were promoting a pack of 25 for two euros 50, but that was of course a misled. Those fireworks crooks used it as bait for law-abiding citizens. I am unfortunately among them.

I was not a happy man the first minutes of 2019. The mood actually lasted for at least half an hour.

Happy new year !.

My official 2019 New Year`s Resolutions

Not a single New Year`s Resolution of the five were achieved in 2018. Therefore I have decided to keep only one of them. It is. of course, winning in the lottery big time. I have increased the minimum winning prize from 30 million euros to 50 million too meet the expected price increase.

I have decided to add only one more resolution to the 2019 list.

It is to throw a perfect Nine-dart finish.

The inspiration to this resolution is the mighty Michael van Gerwen. The green machine scared the hell out of his opponents and claimed his third WC title. A living legend.

I demand the dutch people to appreciate him more than their royals. I bet none of them have thrown a Nine-dart finish. They would most likely have struggeled to throw the darts long enough to hit the board. Michael van Gerwen does it all the time. I look forward to keep my resolutions this year.

Review on the 2018 resolutions

New resolutions have been made for the new year, but first I would like to look at the ones for 2018. How successful was I keep them. I made five in total.

Number one on the list was winning the lottery big time. At least 30 million euros. I was not able to fulfil that one. The picture over tells it all. Veeeery disappointed with that one.

Number four on the list was to have a meaningful conversation with an alien, but since I have developed a conspiracy theory why I am not winning much on the lottery, and aliens are a big part of it, I have not been very interrested in talking to any of those individuals.

Number two and three on the list were eat more carrots and broccoli and eat less chocolate related products. I have to confess that I yet again have disappointed myself, but I feel that I was extremely close on several occasions to turn things around for the better.

Number five was to be more fashionable. I don`t know why I did that one. It is an impossible task.

Look out for the 2019 resolutions coming soon to this blog.

Who the f..k is Phillipe Starck and why has he designed annoying water bottles ?.

Althoug I have accepted the fact that I own one of the worlds worst water bottles ever produced, it is still a great struggle when I bump into others with their perfect ones. I have started to hate many persons at work for this.

On of them constantly brags about having a bottle designed by a supposedly superstar product designer called Philippe Starck. It is is extremely annoying.

I really don`t know anything about this Philippe Starck bloke, but I really hope there is, at least, one fatal construction detail with that award winning and annoying bottle that will have fatal consequences for the owners in the near future. I want bad karma for Philippe Starck water bottle owners !.

Another update on the worst water bottle in the history of this universe.

Today I simply just threw in the infamous towel. I just have to face the sad fact that the crappy water bottle wins. It`sjust impossible to prevent one selves from getting soaking wet when trying to quench a thirst with the worst ever purchase in the history of this universe.

My number one on the wishing list to Santa Claus this year will, of course, be a new well functional water bottle. Unfortunately I am usually disappointed after Christmas eve. "Merry xmas everybody".
