Gert-jan (aka Rand)

We live in a nightmare of good intensions and misunderstood idealism.

About Me


Background picture and Avatar made by Deaddreamer
Spawned on the 24th of September 1971 makes me older then I look and feel. Lived all my life in the north of The Netherlands in the sleepy town of Drachten (population: approx. 44.443). I am a civil engineer and work in sewage management, maintenance and construction. Since April 2007 I live together with my girlfriend and her kids in a house we both bought. It's a big semi attached house with a fireplace. My girl and me 'll get married this year.
I love music. Not to make it myself, but to listen to it. My taste in music is very broad. Just check my "music" paragraph. In the weekends I work at the best pop concert venue in The Netherlands called: Iduna.
I love big scale astronomy pics. Just check my blog. Those pics make me remember everything is relative.
Wanna see more pics of me and other ppl? Check my homepage

Read this: If you are in a band and you think: "Hey, mabye this guy would like my music", then please add me. But if you're based outside Europe and not planning to tour Holland or Europe don't even bother to add me. I don't want any bulletins of bands looking for venues outside of Europe and I don't care for tourdates outside of Europe either.

My Interests



Political and Atheist Ideologies

I'd like to meet:

People who respect other People's believes, ideas and opinions and Richard Dawkins ;-)
