I missed it again, but fuϲk it. Last night I fell asleep right after coming back from work and slept for about 12 hours and then laid in bed for another 2 before finally getting up.
This last week was exhausting since the week before I flew back home with my only 2 friends and didn't have much time to rest since landing because we had a concert booked and my flight landed just 2 hours before the start of it and that's about the time it takes to drive from the airport, which is in the fuϲking capital and even though my home city has an airport it is barely used. So my parents came to pick me up and drive me and had to leave me straight at the venue, where we saw King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, which wasn't bad, but not exactly the things I vibe with.

The next day I had a few hours to get some documents and other shit in order, and in the late afternoon we left for a village in the mountains that's on the way to Greece and also where my friend's grandparents live, so we spent the night there and headed for the border the next day.
There we had 2 days on the beach where I burned under the searing sun, and a day between the beach days where we went to Thasos island and rented some e-bikes and did a full circle around it, which was about 80km. On the last day I got wasted by drinking ouzo in one of the taverns, we went to the beach with bottles of alcohol and soft drinks in the middle of the night, my friends did some swimming but i just set foot in the water and decided it was too cold and stayed on the shore drinking. After that I kinda regretted drinking so much, because i couldn't sleep and at some point went to the toilet to return everything that entered my mouth that night, which was mostly alcohol and some fish that we had for dinner and it smelled awful which made me puke even more.

Then i had to recover on the way back to the shitty capital where we stayed for 2 days to wait for our flights, but we didn't just sit and wait. On the first day we just went straight from the highway to get some food in the city and then check in the apartment we rented, dump our stuff, a quick shower and went to some climbing gym where we spent all evening until it closed and by the end i didn't have the strength to grip the holds, but i did some 6a+ climbs, which my friends said was impressive for someone who has climbed only 2 times before and all of those were with them around new year.

The next day we were supposed to rent some e-bikes again to ride around the mountain next to the city, but the guy, who my friend was talking to more than a week before that, told us that he can't open his shop because the lock broke, which sounded like bullshit to us and we spent the morning trying to find bikes and in the end found a place which only had normal mountain bikes, but the guy was cool and we set off for the mountain, which is like 5km away from the city. On the way we stopped at a store for some refreshments and more water and then went about 25km deep in the woods on some trail that's actually part of a race that some people were training for. At some point we had a bit of a mishap when one of the bikes chain broke, but i noticed the pin was in place and the metal parts were just bent, so i snapped it back on and my friend took a pair of rocks and smashed it back in shape, we had a laugh about the caveman way of repairing it, but it actually didn't break all the way. Then we had to bike back, but at some point we took an exit onto the road and rode next to the cars, which was fun because it was all downhill and at some point we were as fast as the cars. At the end of it we were all beat so we just had something to eat and went back to the apartment, one of the flights was at 6am so my friends didn't even sleep. I went to bed, but couldn't sleep much, and at 10am the rest of us went to return the bikes and i went straight to the airport, because my flight was at 12.

After i came back i had to to some shopping for food and go to bed cause i had work at 6 in the morning and i couldn't sleep much again, and it went on for the whole week, just work, come back, get some food and go to sleep. And i can't even save money because, there's always something popping up. Like i had a check up on the bike at a service near me and the guy fixed my gear shifter and told me things i kinda knew already, but i have to get new tires, new chain and sprockets and probably change the oil and all the filters by the time i change those. And there's also the hydraulic clutch, which didn't have oil in the reservoir on the handlebar, so he filled it and told me to keep an eye on it since it might be leaking somewhere.

All in all things haven't really changed, even though i changed countries everything is kinda the same: just work, spend money on my bike and the only social interactions outside of work i have are the times i meet with my only 2 friends, which is like two or three times a year.
And who knows, maybe one day when i'm riding my bike to work, i might not make it to work since i ride pretty reckless, going about 200 in the mornings when the highway is mostly empty.

It's been a while since wrote something here.

I spent the last two months cycling to work and had no time to do anything other than chores like laundry, cooking and cleaning. But it wasn't that bad since i think i lost some weight, but i have no scale to actually check, and my legs got a bit bulky.

Also saved some money and finally found a motorcycle. Pic related, it's a Suzuki RF900R from 1996, which is the same year as me. Some old guy listed it on fb marketplace for just 800 euros, which turned out to be a really nice guy and the only owner for the last 22 years. Bike's reliable, just start and go ever since i got it two weeks ago.

Had to open a dutch bank account so i can pay for insurance, but dealing with bureaucracy in this country is awesome, just make an appointment and some guy came, took a pic of my documents and a few days later i got the letter with the card and everything, also when i registered my home address it was the same, just went to the city hall, check my documents and be gone in less than 15 minutes.
Change the ownership of the motorcycle, just go there show the docs, pay the fee and get the letter 2 days later, back in my shitty country i had to wait for an hour to change the documents when i bought the motorcycle and they just closed the door when it was the end of the day and there was like 10 more people waiting outside with me, so i had to go another day and wait for an hour or two again until i got them changed.

I feel very weird since i moved out on my own, like there's something physically wrong with me, could be from the sleep paralysis i unlocked back when i was living with that polish shitface who woke me up every day, or maybe the crash i had last year with the motorcycle back home and i still feel uneasy when i get on a motorcycle, especially this one since it's 135hp which is more than double from my last one which was 50hp and it's heavier so it feels very different and a bit scary how fast it is.
Or could be the crash i had a few months ago while skiing and my knee still feels like it's not fully healed and then i had to cycle 50km every day to get to work and back, or maybe it's a mix of everything and it's just how getting older feels.
At least i'm not that tired now that i have a transport, but the loneliness is settling in, but if it ever gets too much i have a motorcycle and no one will know it was on purpose.

Anyway have a nice weekend i guess, i have chores to do when i wake up.

Nice to see i wasn't the only one to miss last night since this week was really exhausting.

Last week i finally moved away from that shitty room i had to share with random people. My last room mate was some hobo looking polish guy that smelled funny, but he turned out to be cool and actually offered to drive me to the new place with all my luggage as long as i pay for gas. So i took a a day off work and moved everything, then went back for my bike and cycled to the new place which is 25km away from work and i have no other transport other than the bike which is just a regular city bike.

So this week has been hard since i had to wake up at 3am, make some food to eat and for work, leave before 4am so i can get to work before 6am when i have to clock in. Took me about 1 hour and 20 min to get there in complete darkness along most of the road, only illuminated by the light from the bike and just blasting some music in my headphones to keep me going. By the time i arrived i was completely sweaty all over, so i had to bring an extra t-shirt to change into. And after work i had to do it all over again, so i just came back, grabbed some food along the way, ate it in the room and fell asleep almost instantly without even taking a shower, then i'd wake up a few hours later, clean up the table, take a shower and go to bed again and repeat this all week. And so i racked up about 250km this week, but i did take the train yesterday after work, but paying for me and the bike is a bit too much for everyday use.

Currently i'm looking into buying some sort of motorcycle to make the trip faster and easier, but i really don't like scooter types, which are the cheapest, but i also don't have much left after paying rent and deposit which was 2 times the rent for this place.
Even so i still prefer cycling for more than 2 hours everyday to and from work than staying in that shitty room i was before and even more than going back to my shithole country where i couldn't even afford to rent a place with the money i was getting there.

Here have one of the songs that i was vibing hard to while riding and even made me cycle in rhythm of the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImRXjgr4dbs

Time to get some beer and relax during the short time i have before monday hits again, have a nice weekend everyone.

Last year on my ski trip there was a guy that's a snowboard instructor at the place we rent our ski who was on the phone with his gf or wife and they were arguing about something and the guy just sat there for a minute listening then slammed the phone on the concrete in front of the shop and parts went flying everywhere.
That was the best ending to a conversation i've ever seen
