Ofcource thes are some rules, and i recommend reading the book of five rings to understand them more thoroughly. Also this combines great with the tibetan school of Buddhism which i have been studying for 4years now.

I just dont get it, why do people NEED a girlfriend. Here in vietnam seriously i get told everyday multiple times i should find a girlfriend."you can have many girlfriends, bla bla bla" and to be honest if i dont find something by next september. (im not going to even look actively, never have tbh) i will leave my friends here in vietnam behind me. To move back to the netherlands or somewhere near the adriatic.(croatia or something) its just driving me crazy (same in holland) people telling me i could clean up, WHY ?! do people feel they should tell me that ********. The only thing i live for now is getting my tattoo's, kitesurfing, exercising,driving motorcycle and studying chinese history.

Ahh well, again thanks for the suggestions people, though the links given on page 2 where more than sufficient in having given me a clearer view on what my brain is thinking.

Also recently i noticed that if i drive my racebike and i c happy couples next to the road, i tend to get some sort of angry with ....? and i end up driving way way faster which kinda scares me but at the same time i am loving the speed.
