Last update: April 26th 2008

There's these times in your life when you come to sit back and think 'hold on, I'm - fill in age here -, what's just happened to me ? What's this all about ?'. Those moments where you reflect on your past life. Nostalgic moments really, where contemplate on all those happy, sad, funny, silly things in your life, as well as all the people you have loved, befriended, disliked, lost ....

It's during one of those moments that I decided to put together a timeline for my website. Most of all for myself really, to be able to quickly scan all of the wonderful and less cheerful things in what might be called the pre-break part of this cinema show called my life. However, it's also a nice way to share some of these things with you folks.

Feel free to click on the links, which can lead to external websites, pictures, articles or other related stuff. Some of the references are kept quite vague, mostly because there's a whole story behind it. If you want to know more, don't be afraid to ask.

Enjoy,
