Here's to the crazy ones...
The ones who see things differently.They’re not fond of rules.And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,disbeleive them, glorify or vilify them.About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.Because they change things.
They invent.
They imagine.
They heal.
They explore.
They create.
They inspire.
They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones,We see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Eoin's Farewell and Sandy's B'day
Well this past weekend it was time to say goodbye to another good friend here in Amsterdam - Mr Eoin Rouine.
Part of the original social co-ordinators committee, he is off to join the other social co-ordinator, Chelsea in Canada, in a love reunion he has been waiting months for - and although I cannot imagine Amsterdam without him, I can only salute someone who is travelling to the other side of the world, with no job to be with the person he loves.
Eoin, babe.... I will miss you, but expect much Chelsea and Eoin Canadian post loving!
Also Happy Birthday to General Social Co-ordinator #3 - Sandy!

It's time to admit...
In talking to Rita tonight I realised a few things:
* I do not have a work access pass to get into the office building. I rely on relationships I have ilt with the admin staff to enter pass free - most times it is sufficient
* I do not have keys to my house at the moment. I was nominated as the roomie who had to give an emergency key to the landlord when signing the contract.
* I do not have a phone. It was stolen during the Australia v Croatia soccer match.
* I do not have a my residents card - hoping this is not too much of a problem....
Gosh... it could go on and on.
I need a life logistics aid!

World Cup Weekend
So last weekend three Aussie gals headed with a Dutch colleague to the World Cup Match in Gelskirchen in Germany.
The trip was named the 'Bobless Bob' Weekend of Randomness - and it was FABBO.
Laurz has recounted much of the fun and posted a few photos on her blog:

CHECK IT OUT!
TOO FUNNY :-)
