Of a good start…

2005�s been good to me so far. Very good.


I decided to spend New Year�s eve at home with my mom. After midnight, though, I went outside to taste the atmosphere and say hi to some people. This triggered me to get into the party-mood. I called up a friend, and he invited me to a party at another friend�s house. Provided with directions, I headed to the party. Upon entering the final street, I could hear women screaming my name from a window. Wow; no reason to be insecure about being wanted there. ?

I spent the rest of the night with Casper; Herline; Suzan; Maarten; and Sanne, and had a great time. There was dancing; drinking; talking with strange people; talking with weird people; and talking with strange weird people.

When I got home early in the morning, I didn't feel like going straight to bed, so I decided to play some gta Vice Cityand I beat the game! That is to say, I only completed 50% of the game�I just happend to complete the ending mission (Keep your Friends Close �).

Obviously, I got up pretty late the next day, and not exactly feeling very energetic. Upon invitation of Enrique, though, I decided to go out and play some basketball anyway. Oddly enough, it went very well. Scratch that�it was going fucking incredible: on the first day of the new year we did the sickest shit we�ve ever done!

The climax came when the ball had carried over the 15? fences, and had landed several yards from the court, and behind the basket. I went to get it, picked it up, and threw it over the fences with a left-handed sky-hook. That�s when a spark of magic was sent down by the basketball-gods. The ball flew over the fences; bounced of the soccer goal post; over the backboard; on the rim (twice) and in. Sickest shot in basketball. Ever.

The next day (Sunday), we played a lot of basketball again, and again, we we did at least a month�s worth of sick moves. Compared to my hook-shot the day before it was all pretty tame, but compared to any other, it was absolutely insane.

Monday was my first day at the office, and that�s where I spent the rest of the week. Okay, not exactly straight, but the week went by so quick it almost feels that way. Time flies � etc. The things I�ve said about Vorm Vijf before have only become more true every day so far.
