Well those of us living in the lovely sin capital of The Netherlands have been enjoying a public holiday today called Pinksterdag, or as it’s known in Catholic circles, Ascension day. Maybe 200 years ago it was a day meant to be spent in proper respect to the Lord doing repentant God fearing activities like virgin flogging, and getting bowl shaped haircuts. But now it’s just an excuse to take a day off work and instead going out and getting absolutely shitfaced drunk. Honestly I don’t know why Catholicism is on the decline when they have such fun days as today. Not that I did any drinking but I really did appreciate the day off work, this is the sort of thing they should publicise globally to get their attendance numbers up.
At any rate, over the weekend, I was mighty productive, so much so my mum would be proud of me I think. I finalised the move of my old blogger into my wordpress one that you’re here reading right now. And most exciting of all – for me at least – I sat down and got Amsterdamage’s first story written (again for the second time). This for me signifies the start of the new literary site that I have been talking and dreaming about for years, and don’t I feel over the moon enthusiastic about it too! Oh yes, let me tell you kiddies, I’m excited (as big Kev back home would have said on TV: god rest his large boned soul)! All the big plans are coming back now, and I am just chock full of ideas of where to take it over the next few months. Dare I say I am hoping this is my start into the publishing world. Well let’s not get ahead of ourselves, but take it one step at a time. For now though, I’ve got the site up again, and it will quickly get content and a better look over the weeks to come.
For the less easily offended among you, please stop by and have a read and let me know what you think. You can find it with the Amsterdamage link over on the sidebar.
Gosh it’s nice to feel excited about something again! 
Padwanna!
