CURRENT MISSION

my second publication, meeting people, making friends, being more careful with money, keep on working for it, enjoying what this new step in my life can bring me, having a lot of good times and fun!

ABOUT ME

I work in a coffeeshop in Vlaardingen, selling coffee and other stuff, which is not illegal in our country. I won't judge you, please don't judge me right away, okay? I published my first poetrybook last autumn, after performing and publishing my work in magazines for the last 10 years: www.benne.web-log.nl I like my x-box :), read a lot, have a fabulous family and like to travel cheap :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Tell me genius, how ye gonna write something about something you don't know nothing about?" Bradd Pitt in 'Kalifornia' Make your own mistakes and live with them. If you can't beat them: build around them. Better trie and fail then wondring what it would have been like.
