Happy Birthday.

cycling is a huge part of me but my life is divided somewhat as cycling is something I share only with some people. very good friends of mine all know I;m huge into cycling but have no clue what it is about and couldn't watch 5 minutes of it. although I sometimes tell stories about it they seem to love it but that's more because of my skill in telling stories

outside I'm a teacher in history, society and religion/life consideration(?) although currently I don't work as I make more money with betting and plan to go to colombia next september. which is why I;m studying spanish right now. but I have been teaching for 3 years on different schools with students from 12-32 and honestly I loved it so much. the enthusiasm, the connection. to help them out with struggles in and outside of school. I hope to one day see schools where they give lessons in luck or lifeart or something like that. I would love to be a teacher in that. I also work as a volunteer with dementing elderly people which I love as well. not a day I don't laugh. so much love

other then that I have some huge passions.

mma. I both teach and am a fighter. I haven't fought in the ring in over 4 years but I'm planning to fight again early next year. at least one more fight. nothing in life has given me so much I think as mma and the art of dealing with pain. only a very select amount of people truly understand this. that is why my mma mates are usually my closest friends too because it's the most intimate sport or act I can think of, even more so maybe than sex.

gaming. I'm a true hardcore gamer and very retro. I own 17 consoles and nearly 500 games among very rare and great ones. if anyone is into this pls contact me

partys. I'm very much into hardstyle and hardstyle partys and festivals. I've been visiting them for 5 years and enjoy it ever more so. great people you meet. best atmosphere and also most energetic music. you can really go lose there. words can barely describe the experience

where? and for students only?

btw, i think i've read here long ago that someone runs a hostel for cyclists in belgium, but don't remember who it was. anyone an idea?

craig1985 · Nov 25, 2011

I'm amzed that no such place exists in the Benelux countries (if there isn't one). It would make life so much easier if somebody was to stay in Belgium for the Classics, and you can find random people to go with which makes it all the more better.

CN forum user GreggGermer does Chainstay though he once resold Westvleteren beer (albeit for a good cause) which is a bit naughty so I won't recommend him. Oh wait ...

I don't know if these things exist or not. But even if they do, then certainly they're not being pushed internationally.

I have been thinking of doing something like it but I've discovered that starting up and trying to make it prosper here in Belgium is not very easy. And this is just when you're just trying to have fun making your living, not trying to be the next Richard Branson.

Wouldn't presume to speak for NL but here in Belgium, they only have room for sh*t small, one-person, tax-avoiding businesses or dirty sector, tax-avoiding corporates. If you want to be in the honest middle ground, you're going to suffer.

I've been doing a lot of research into the matter and I've started to understand a lot more of why these sorts of great ideas don't happen here. The culture of enterprise - and the nurturing of it - are almost extinct.

I make database for eurotour on my own for past 7 years and I follow every result there is and every race there is. if you have a good eye for it and especially can see certain trends you can win lots of money. especially on sites like betfair where you don't bet against the sites but against other peoples beters. for instance during wc this year I saw gilbert imo was very tired. so after that I bet lots of money on gilbert not podiuming paris tours and lombardia. which was a huge bet as many peopel saw for certainty gilbertg would podium especially lombardia. in lombardia I believe I could get x 15 ods of him not podiuming

I was a happy man

also rujano winning a giro stage x 12 odds was a good one

My kitchen said no way to thanksgiving dinner. please note the fridge it is always that high. If it's on the ground I can only bend over far enough to reach the front half of the top 2 shelves and the freezer. I had that cabinet built for the fridge and store potatoes, onions and such

The corner taping need some touch up. They had the light on it yesterday but it only dried one spot. I moved the heater in and turned on the ceiling fan. I am going to buy another heater for my part of the house. I've not had any heat in my room before and this will heat my room, bathroom and walk-in closet. warm is good. who knew.

Two old tall guys with bad backs. going to raise the sink 2". they asked if wanted to raise the whole counter top but I thought the raised sink would look unique.
