Hello kind reader,
You may have stumbled upon (RIP) this blog goofing around on the internet and expect to find some life-changing insight or a view that no one else has showed you. This may be the case but there are a few ground rules, or House Rules as they like calling them in the Netherlands to this dynamic.
I intend to post some new and juicy travel content, perhaps accompanied by some images and of course insider tips on to making the most out of the circumstance by teaching through examples, so if you do not agree or have something better to add, feel free to comment and enlighten us all, if you feel like being antagonistic for the lulz, sorry but your efforts fall upon deaf ears.
There may also be some rants about the contemporary world order, the quality of modern media and the coherence of news, as well as some fake news.
On the last point, when I say fake news, I derive from the genre and specifically speaking make emphasis on satire and joke headlines. As a journalist the sole thought of massively disseminating false information to confuse the masses is sickening, but that is not the whole notion of what Fake news entails. The now President of the United States has also classified satire as fake news... which is interesting because it is neither news, nor is it fake, but it is very wrong to use the tools of comedy to help those uninterested in the political happening to at least have a notion of its absurdity.
Every time I see something this ridiculous I think that all fiction is based on reality and also reality is stranger than fiction, so keep an open mind while reading this.
The one thing I will apologise in advance for is the strong feeling I have toward food and cannabis, although they are both subjects that have been over-used to the point of boredom, my passion for food comes from my family and the passion for cannabis from my job, it is a shared love that I hope to transmit and I also hope to not fall prey of the pre-conceived notion of the VICEy writer, I am not keen on making steak with marihuana butter, but I will eat a well-cooked medium rare steak and then smoke a phatt joint.
Vegan, Organic, Bio and other modern adjectives to add value to foods will not be discussed, I'm not a celiac and I believe that like most industrialised produce out of first world countries has lost touch with its roots. I was forced to slaughter my first goat when I turned fifteen in Kenya as a right of passage and a metaphor that I can raise and harvest my own food for my family... a very far notion from collecting pre-packed meat in a supermarket.
Yes, I am that annoying guy, but I also hope that you can learn a thing or two, share a thing or two and that my words are aesthetic enough to take you somewhere that lets you be wild and free, but also lets you question the establishment and find your own direction.
Captain, we're ready for take-off.
