Don’t Read This Blogpost If You Know Exacty Where You Are Going

You can call it a bucket list, or you can call it a life list. Some people even just call it a to-do list. No matter what you call it, people who make a list of life goals early on in life somehow seem to accomplish most -if not all- of those goals before they [...]

Looking back On March 13th 2009 I made my very first blogpost ever, starting the blog on a wordpress hosted domain. Right off the bat I can tell you that that was a mistake. I should have started on my own domain from the beginning. My old domain is still getting more traffic every day [...]

I’ve been blogging for almost a year now and last week I tweeted a question, asking how people got their blog to grow.

Craziness, it’s just the way we like it

Crazy? If you're a bit like me you've probably been told you're crazy on a lot of occasions. Sometimes it's a bit more subtle and you're "just" called unrealistic or a dreamer but it can even go as far as being called totally insane.

The truth is out there But is craziness really crazy?
