Some posts were originally written in Dutch and were automatically translated.

Once something is on the internet, it is basically there forever.

That is not always a positive thing, but sometimes it can turn out to be fun. Today I found my very first blogs through the [Wayback Machine](https://web.archive.org/), and it was quite the trip down memory lane.

Somewhere in 2009 I started a blog, back then still called Alxndr.nl, and it was a very different time. It was the era of Hyves, text messages and, for me personally, a period in which I enjoyed life a lot.

I was about twenty years old and had given myself the image of a talented writer with a love for music, drinks and women. And you can definitely read that in the texts I wrote back then.

I read one blog in which I wrote about people who get up early to go walking in nature. I thought that was bizarre and ridiculous.

And now?

My alarm goes off at 06:30 by default, and I absolutely see the benefits and joy of walking.

I have changed quite a bit over the years, become a little wiser - I hope - and adjusted many opinions. Fortunately, I also found plenty of blogs filled with lovely memories. Those are the texts I have now placed back on my current blog.

Back then I wrote about the time [I stood on stage with Green Day](https://alxndrr.com/billy-joe-made-me-fucking-stage-dive/), had [an opinion about punk rock](https://alxndrr.com/739-words-about-punk-rock/), and scribbled [about the many other concerts](https://alxndrr.com/theres-a-story-at-the-bottom-of-the-bottle-and-im-the-pen/) I still went to at the time.

As you can tell, it was mostly about music.
