How I did it
It made me
stay the course 
How I did it: I decided I wanted to keep a diet journal, but not just one that says how much I eat. More a journal to mention all the stuff that happens when you're dieting, but the fun and the depressing bits. I have been posting small bits on my own blog and I have a site at valtaf.nl, which helps you keep track of your progress. Writing the frustrations or the proud moments down it helps you process them better. I had some rough patches as of late, … Read how I did it…
It made me
tipsy
How I did it: Got some friends together, bought some special beers, had everybody bring snacks and BBQ food. The beers unfortunately weren't the best we ever had, though Hopus was very nice. Also liked Sierra Nevada. La Trappe Wit was okay, but the weather wasn't great and you need nice and sunny weather for white beers. Then we had Melchior, which was okay but unfiltered making it look like barf (not appealing). Tulpenbok was a bit disappointing. Ther… Read how I did it…
It made me
sunburned but happy
How I did it: People invited me and I said yes. Then I let them bring the tents and most of the camping equipment. It was really quite easy. I'm not sure what more to say about it really. Read how I did it…

5. Cannabis
3 days ago
- Someone did a test with mice, where they had mice learn the location of a platform in murky water. Then they exposed one group to cannabis at an early age, another group at micy adolecence and finally one group was not exposed. Both the group that was not exposed and the adolescence group could a few days later find the platform again. The group of mice that was exposed in childhood performed far worse. This proved that the use of cannabis at an early age effects the brain far worse than use in puberty or later.
- There is a component in Cannabis called THC which adds to the risk of psychosis. Normally this risk is 1%, with cannabis it increases to 2-6%. There is also a component called CBD which is an antipsychotic. Unfortunately recreational cannabis very often does not contain any CBD.
- There is a cannabis farm somewhere in England where Cannabis is produced legally for medicinal purposes. The cannabis is turned into drops. In Canada Cannabis is used in a spray for multiple sclerosis to alleviate pain.

Sadly, this is on hold, because I lost my camera :(. Now in the proces of buing a new one, but not sure whether to go for something like a canon SX10 or go for a real SLR.
