And we’re back! We’ve moved our files, and we’re here to stay! A few things might have changed, but every aspect of this site will undoubtedly run better than before. We hope you enjoy the new (slightly edited) site, and we’ll keep updating regularly.
All the messages you missed in the mean time, are uploaded in the correct timeslot.
TWS is with you, even in the new year. Because the world will never stop sucking, and we’ll never stop helping you deal!
The world sucks, and so does our web-host. Due to problems with Starthosting.nl, our Dutch web-host, we have been facing a lot of difficulties. We’ll be sure to cross over to another host soon! In the mean time, I hope problems with the website will be limited.
We are, of course, doing the best we can to resolve everything!

Unlike my colleague John, I do have quite the history writing on the web, as you might know. Starting over with an old love, one can’t help to look back. It all began when I was fifteen, I founded Ennogmeer, a Dutch blog, and I wrote about my life, music and not in the last place football, I then quickly discovered that the Dutch blog-market wasn’t big enough for me, so I decided I’d try to market a video-blog, And-Even-More. On it, I showed video’s where I told everybody all about my life, for a while it was quite successful, the website had a vast group of followers from Germany, but when I hit certain roadblocks in my personal life, I couldn’t cope. After awhile I felt my privacy was in danger, so I quit. In the mean time a lot has changed, I now live on my own in the Dutch city of the damned (Amsterdam), I still have no contact whatsoever with my own mother, I’ve passed my first year of the English teacher’s education, and I’m in the process of writing my first novel.
Due to all the events passed, I never once thought of returning to blogging, but when John Sacks made me an offer I couldn’t refuse, of course, I could not refuse. Though at first our agreement was that I would only design The-World-Sucks.com, he quickly talked me into writing for it. I accepted because I very much agree with the basic feel of this blog, because not only does the world suck, but it seems to be getting more suckish day by day. People don’t smile as they used to, they just go about their own lives as if there’s no one else and they’re unique, but we’re all the same in a way, because we’re all getting increasingly depressed. The world doesn’t have to suck, but yet, we make it suck more every single godforsaken day.

Well, first post, strange feeling. Having produced not a single word for so long, I’d almost forgotten what it feels like to write, although this of course isn’t really writing, it’s more along the line of blogging. Which basically means I’m part of one of the biggest problems in this world, life has technologized, blogging took over writing, MP3 took over CD’s, phone calls were taken over by texting, which itself is taken over by IM, but are we stronger now? No, we’re not, are we smarter now? No, we’re not, are we better people for it? Certainly not! We couldn’t survive a day without the internet, we’d lose our money, our jobs, our friends. Most people here wouldn’t even know where to find the library, and now, with my blog, I’m only adding to the mental retardation of this world. Maybe my teaching evens things out, I hope so, somebody has to counterstrike the dumbing down of our people, or else we might be doomed. I promise, I will write again one day, real writing, not this blogging shite!
But in the mean time I’m still very excited that my blog is finally on-line, and I like the fact that I can update it without even turning on my computer, on my lazy chair, with my mobile phone, thank you Roberto! You’re a genius! Although it must be one of the laziest things I’ve ever seen..
