Hi dear CA peepz... I have been lurking here for quite a while because Real Life was not what it was meant to be for me. I have wrestled through a divorce, being homeless and penniless, my PTSD flaring up.... just a few potholes in my road... As I am crawling out of that pothole, I am slowly rebuilding my life. I have an appartment now which is my own safe haven, I am the best daddy my son can wish and I have even found out that women seem particularly interested in me. It has been a huge boost in my damaged self esteem. At this moment I am investing in a relationship with a woman who wants to understand my 'war wounds' and offers me her strength to share the burden. She also is 'insane in the membrane' and a lot of fun. It brought back the spark of life. I am more than just a single father. Thanks to all these circumstances, my best friend (who has never served) , has offered me to go on a road trip to Bosnia. It will be my third trip down memory lane, and it is extra special because this year it is 20 years ago that I served with the UNPROFOR forces. We'll be going by car, driving to Srebrenica where a Dutch friend of mine lives in the surrounding mountains. He was part of the Dutchbat III forces when the enclave fell. After Srebrenica, we will go to my former base location (Busovaca) and to Sarajevo. After that we'll visit Mostar and we'll be doing the tourist routine there. After a few days, we'll continue to the coast and we'll be enjoying the seaside with hopefully a stay in Split or Trogir. After that it is road trippin' back to the good ole Netherlands. It means a great deal to me, and it certainly helps soothing some wounds. It certainly is another step in the staircase to an easier life. I will try to keep you posted on this subject, I really would be happy to share my experiences here with you. Cheers, Iwan

If you forget the past, you will lose the future. <s>

Wow! I really like the tail pipe details on the Red Arrows bird!

FOTI

Firebar

Isn't that illegal; putting grass in yer ass?

Wockets!

Starting to get the hang of it again. Winter over Europe.

Well, after almost 3 years of not playing, I am getting my modded SF install back to work bit by bit... Now fiddling around and loving the Bulgarian colours...

"Rules", "chivalry", "fairness", "Geneva Convention"... I was in Bosnia and drove my UN ambulance. You guess where I frequently found bullet holes.... Make a picture with it: me being the nice and friendly UN, me being part of a humanitarian effort, me being a medic driving a Red Cross vehicle. Rules and romance are for stories and movies...

Yay!!!

I want my tank of Eelz and my pen with Lasercatz.....

Owls!!! Eels!!!

This is the terrain only, mate!

Things that make you go... BOOM...

Morality is relative. Been in a war and I know it...

Just check the options menu mate, and you can adjust them if you want to.

Mine is ready to go, too!!! I am 'Muesli-NL' on PC. Return to battle, soldier!

Stand strong, live tall!!!

Priceless!!!

Nice! More interviews, I love knowing the background of some CA diehards! Cheers, Iwan

It already works like a charm on my 'FrankenPuter'... And yes it is a bèta...

"The closer you are to death, the more alive you feel." Damn! Ain't that the truth...
