As some of you might recall, I've struck a streak of unluckyness, at the end of 2011. Here's a small update, for those interested.
First a small recap.
I was with a girl/woman for 5 years,she broke up, wouldn't leave my house, sued me over the house despite the lease being on my name. That's the VERY short recap.
And now the conclusion!
Her parents and grandparents were threatening me inside and outside of my house, as well as borderlining on stalking my family, which is absolutely uncalled for. My grades at the university are plummeting down to a barely minimally accepted level, my music (loving) came to a dead still (until a forum member who's on my facebook gave me a subtle kick in the a$$ to start playing again, thanks!). Because the search for a home in Amsterdam proved to bare no fruit I decided to seek my 'luck' elsewhere; the Hague. It's a 50km commute to my job and university (thats like 30 miles; is that a lot for you Americans? I have no idea about scale and what you find acceptable, haha; educate me!
). But for me it has to do right now. I found a great house, 5km from my parents' place. it's 80 square meters (thats like 250 square feet?) for 775 euro's a month (water and power not included) (775€ = 1100$?), but it's completely furbished and finished. The kitchen is done in marble, with a fridge, dishwasher and other apparel already build in. The bathroom and toilet are seperate (quite the luxery here!) and both done in marble. The windows are double-glass, the heating system is almost a piece of art (every heater is build-in under a nice cupboard, for instance, and the technical side of the thing is a high-yield combination boiler, which serves to power the heating and warmwater supply). Oh, and I have an open fire in the living room, haha. The back side is not really nice, cause some hooligans are my backyard neighbours (or will be, I have to sign the new lease, but as far as I can see right now, that seems to be just a formality). But hooligans are cool; they make a lot of noise, but so do I! I mean, c'mon!I have six 100 watt heads with 6 cabinets; that's BOUND to make some noise!
I wish I could invite all of you to my 'house cooling party' (the inverse of a housewarming!), because I intend to give a HUGE jam; all 6 amps will be fired up, and everybody can play at the same time. one amp for each room (and 2 rooms will have to doubleteam for a while).
So, that's the story so far.
