feeling the burn
After the most successful week of blogging I've ever had (a record three posts), I'm feeling the pinch to continue the upward trend. alas I don't feel like I have anything to write. I have noticed though, that I have great difficulty blogging about anything while at work, which is when I have any time to sit down and write for a good chunk of time. The reason for the difficulty is that I struggle to switch from working, to doing anything other than just that. I work in Hilversum, which is about a 30 minute train ride from my home in Amsterdam, or an hour from door to door. So when I get up in the morning and get ready for work, I have that 60 minute time of relaxing, reading or just generally gearing up for the day, and by the time I arrive at my desk, I'm ready to go. I come in, do my hours, have what they call a lunch break at Nike (that's a blogworthy experience I'll talk about sometime), and then head home. But before I reach home, and back to the homelife, I have that hour to unwind, reset my mind, and gear up for whatever I happen to be doing that night. But I really struggle to push out anything creative here at work, probably because I'm at the bottom of a very large machine doing menial tasks that involve ctrl + c and ctrl + v over and over again. Not quite the creative environment for expounding on how I've come up with an idea for a way to create an Ipod IV that inserts a Starbucks mocha drug of choice right into your veins while blogging on the run ( sorry... couldn't resist).
I will continue to push through, and eventually I will come up with a theme for my spot in space, and maybe if I'm lucky, I'll be a must read.

Nice to see that other dutch people find their way to the blog world too. I started with a few posts on /T/BLOG/ and before I knew it, I created my theme blog Front Doors. So maybe you end up with your IV-Pod blog (sorry had to adjust the name, iPod IV makes you think iPod 4) one day. :) Keep it up. (by the way I am an ex-pat.. no longer living in Holland)
P.S. send me some Amsterdam photos for my blog, it will get you some more visitors because I link back.
Jonas we are waiting....
Well well well, it's been over a month and it seems your inspiration has run dry. I fear the same fate for me. I am hopelessly out of things to blog about and it seems my somewhat boring life will have to do. In light of the world you live in, which is much different than many of the readers you could attract, your life could be quite interesting. Not everyone works at NIKE, sees football giants coming in to test product and is living in the craziest city in the world. You Mr. Jonas have no excuse for your lack of writing, your life and the world you live in is all you have and it's never going to change, so write it up! (I hope you found this encouraging and not the opposite) * Also keep in mind I am a hypocrite who will probably be cursed to not blog now for more than 67 days.
I'm still waiting for the next word on the iPod IV development...
