At the end of the day
In case you don't know: Amon Tobin is god. And I seem to have lost my copy of his latest work "The Foley Room". Yes this is a tragedy! I come home exhausted after a day of work and I need my fix! What is this?!So while I'm searching here is an unofficial video for the track "At the end of the day". And quite a cool one I must say:
Update: Got it back! Good times! :)

On pointing fingers
I believe that pointing fingers is wrong. We should be able to take responsibility for our actions and not blame others for challenges, problems and mistakes. Somewhere I heard that "If you take your hand and point with your finger you will notice that every time you point with your finger there are 3 fingers pointing back at you". It was probably somewhere on the internet. Where else?
There are some questions I'm asking myself lately: Do I tend to blame others for things that are in fact my responsibility? In the last couple of months I blamed a lot of things and people for challenges I was facing. I blamed the university a couple of times, I constantly blamed the bernese students for being lazy and irresponsible, I blamed companies. I never blamed my team mates because they were absolutely great, a huge inspiration and I learned a lot from them. But other than that there was quite some ranting going on. On the other hand I am totally aware of things that went bad because of me, what mistakes I did in terms of planning, what things I underestimated and which things needed just one extra second of thought in order for them to work out, but which I refused to give them. So yeah: I think that I take responsibility for my actions. But then the question is: What is the difference between blaming others and refusing to take all the shit on yourself?
I guess I could put it a tad more eloquently but if you feel offended it's my fault.

New Mash
My last mash was more than 2 years ago. I didn't think that I would ever do another but I just couldn't resist this one. I try not to waste my time with mash-ups when I make music. It's not often that I take my time for a track and if I do I prefer to work on something original and not on mashes.
I had another post on this subject already but why do I always feel the need to make music when I have more important things to do? This quicky just needed to come out.
Anyways exams are coming soon so expect a bunch of new tracks. :)
By the way: You can download the mp3 at my music site:

What’s happening?
Overslept twice. This is bad because it has a direct implication on my financial situation. Late for work equals less money in the end of the month.
Forgot about two appointments and therefore missed them. This is bad because it has a direct implication on my team. It's not nice when your OCP forgets that you were supposed to meet.
I need to change something…

Addiction
Learning something new about myself everyday - it's an addiction. Most recent learning: how do I deal with frustration?Our Career Days are having some "serious" setbacks. Booklets are late, work shops were cancelled because of low interest and other things like this. It felt frustrating. Frustrating because I felt like we are dissapointing our partners. Turned out that they are not disappointed at all...
So why was I frustrated? Apperantly it was a big deal just for me. I created my frustration because i thought something is true. It was not. My frustration was a product of me assuming things. I created it by myself. In this case I can "uncreate" it by putting things into perspective, stopping assuming and focusing again on the bigger picture. Easy as that.
Currently listening to Telefon Tel Aviv
