How do you balance your time: Buddies or Girl?
By Vincent | November 7, 2009
Oehh, choosing between your girl who you love and your mates whom you might love even more can be the hardest thing possible. The relation between you and your friends is sacred and you are living with your girl (well at least you are sleeping with her) you love.
The “rule” is that you always choose your mates over your girl but you know that this is easier said than done. If you hang out with the boys too much, your girl start nagging and if it’s vise versa your mates will be asking if you are in fact a real mate of them.
If you want to balance your time between your friends and partner; here are 3 valuable tips to get you going.
Don’t break your appointments.
Once plans are made with either party, they’re set in stone. This can bite you in the ass if for example: your mates call you that they have arranged on the last minute some great football tickets.
Follow up on your plans in the order that you’ve made them. This way neither parties can ever accuse you of favouring the “other side”.

Lying During Your Job Interview Pays Off.
By Vincent | November 1, 2009
Lying during a job interview; did you guys ever do it? Although it is seen by most managers as unethical it proved beneficial for most applicants. However during a Dutch World-Wide research it seemed that not all managers think it’s unethical. In this research one out of ten managers admitted ever have lied during a job interview.
This lying is always about two things. The first is the job experience. It seems that most of us are apparently insecure about this and the second is the height of our salary. Which is of course the oldest trick in the book for raising your salary without asking for it?
The consequences can be firm, especially when you are a manager in a top position. During the first internet hype many managers were assigned without being checked before they were actually enrolled. Ken Lonchar; the cfo of Veritas Software was forced to quit when it became public that he had lied about the completion of his Stanford MBA. The value of the company’s stock reduced with 16%.

No Cable But Satellite TV, hmmm What is This?? Here’s my Review.
By Vincent | September 21, 2009
Please note: If you came here via the article “The Fascination of the Design Tattoo.”, there went something wrong with the submission; my motivation for writing this article can be found here!!
I can hear you think… Is it real cable or satellite quality? Why do I need +3000 channels and most of them aren’t even from my country. I was extremely skeptical when I first heard about the programs which allowed you to watch TV on your computer… were they really worth it?
As you know; I love films and TV, but on one condition; it has to be great quality! I have a Media Centre which is the almost the best money can buy and if I would go with internet TV then I wanted the “absolute” best.

Why Skaters Today Are Wearing Nike Dunks Over Other Brands
By Vincent | September 17, 2009
Skateboarding has been a popular sport among adrenaline enthusiasts for decades, with each coming decade spawning more excitement for the sport. Having the right gear can mean all the difference in competition, so skaters are urged to find the footwear that conforms to them best. One contender, the Nike Dunk, is a leading choice in skateboarding shoes.
Nike Dunks aren’t new to the shoe scene, as they have been around for decades. The Nike Dunk was first created as a general sports shoe, usually geared towards basketball, that offered good support and also looked good in the process. But something interesting happened along the way: skateboarders soon found that the shoes were excellent for skating thanks to the sturdy design the Dunk offered.
The Nike SB Dunk is the creation of the Nike development department, who wanted to create a shoe geared towards to skaters. This line of shoes offers more support for balance-intensive situations, and usually has a wider "tongue" on the shoe than other types of shoes. Youth everywhere started buying up the Nike SB Dunk upon its release, and it is still being sold today.
