Do you know that feeling, that you have to do something.....but can´t quite remember what?
This story is just that.
I remember being told to write it but I can´t remember what I was supposed to tell you. What I do know is that everything I am going to tell you really happened, even though it may unbelievable sometimes.

Chapter 2

For those who think they've fallen into a bad remake of the Exorcist, I get that. But I can only say that, unlike all my previous stories, this story, as implausible as it may sound, is based on true events.

Until I turned twenty I was a non-believer, a big fan of X files, Star Trek, and Erich von Daniken. But completely stuck on the idea that things are only real if you can see them, and that life and mankind were nothing more than a coincidental coincidence.

In a universe that is many times larger than we can comprehend, the chance that the right elements come together somewhere to generate life as we know it is 100%

Humans naturally want to explain this as something special, because they will not and cannot believe that he is but a tiny speck on a meaningless speck in a remote corner of the universe. That is why man created the god.

No crazy supernatural polonaise for me please, although now that I lived in Brabant I was more open to such carnivalesque concepts.

I moved to the south of The Netherlands to study Journalism. The first year I had been a very lonely one. I was a little lost in this new city. My penchant for marijuana really made me the poor student who had to live the last days of the month on brown sandwiches with chocolate sprinkles.

That same predilection also caused the start of my new life, well that predilection and the fact that I had a girlfriend who was also looking for work.

The Moroccan owner of the coffee shop where I liked to visit, of course, because of a woman, asked me if I wanted to work behind the bar for a couple of days a week. And also if I knew a lady who could run the bar on the days I was off. Coincidentally, my then-girlfriend with whom I lived, well we both had a room in the same student house, was also interested.

This is how my first wish on my once-so-unattainable list came true. I spend years getting to know the other side of the bar, but finally, I made it to the side that would make me money....instead of costing money.
The aforementioned lady from chapter One whom I had seen behind the bar a few times and was the reason I frequented this place turned out to have quite her job.

Which was pretty unfortunate, as now that I worked here I would never see her again. This girl was so my type, short, dark, pretty, and quite chubby. The little ironies in life. I came here for her. I made it to the other side, which should have gotten me closer to her, but instead, I lost her and with that my reason for coming here.

On the other hand, her leaving meant the salvation of my current relationship, but damn that feeling that barmaid gave me was unprecedented.

My love for curvy women had been going on since my first puppy love. The girls at the primary school I looked at were certainly not the sportiest. They had wonderfully soft thighs and a slight bulge under their shirts. Of course, this was the 1980s and sometimes I wish I was born a decade later when European teens started looking a bit more American, so to speak.

Although I had had some beautiful chubby girlfriends in the past, my current girlfriend didn't fit in at all. But this little dark lady really had everything I found attractive.

A very handsome face, nicely made up, eyes that look happily into the world, while wide hips sway and her soft tummy is clearly visible under her baggy shirt. How wonderful it would be to be able to hold that soft body with my arms and have my hands feel those curves.

Oh yes, of course I was in a relationship.

Although it was undeniable that apparently, something had awakened inside me. Something that made me realize that I was miles away from what I thought I was looking.

Maybe just maybe, what I was looking for was in front of me less than a minute ago. As this was her last shift, and I could not stop looking and smiling like a fool. Not because of the grass I was smoking, not this time.

One thing I have come to realise is that whilst we are here having this experience, we won't be able to fully know what it is or understand it.

I was a big fan of Star Trek TNG as a teenager. I didn't know back then the irony of the naming of Jean-Luc...

That's a real cute song @whywhy
It's good you didn't see the other girl again from chapter 1.
I had a bad entity attached to her. No offense to you or her but it could have been really bad trouble.

She was the one starting the trouble, but there was one worse but I did not meet her yet at this point

Wow, I am just getting chills all over my spine now, reading this @whywhy.
I remember that you've mentioned that you lived in Tilburg. Was this your time in Tilburg? To study journalism? I can vaguely recall a convo we had but not sure if I ever mentioned that I studied journalism too!

Anyway...when you mentioned the coffee shop and the Moroccan owner. It wasn't Afrika by any chance, was it? Now that would be a whopper of a coincidence...

Lol I think you mentioned it indeed, but it was stored very far away on my harddrive. No it was not Africa, it was Casa the one next to Pater Poels, I myself lived next to Extra and my best friend is still living in the Piushave near Africa

Ah, I know Casa quite well too. But Africa, Shiva, and Toermalijn were my go to with Arica on top. The owner was a good friend of mine and I was there often just for the tea haha.

I lived quite close to Extra actually. Walking distance. It was shut down not long before I left Tilburg, around 12 years ago. They were dealing more than just cannabis...

Either way, there is a good chance that we've crossed paths at some stage...
Small world.

Definitely because de Toer had the best Tea in town. I left Netherlands in 2007 and Tilburg in 2005 and moved to Vught because I needed a house to raise a kid and an attic next to the Extra was not the ideal place. When I stopped working at Casa and before I did no longer need a coffeeshop to supply me with Tea I went to the Muze and de Toer, later on when I found a cheaper supplier I went to the grass company as many of my Extase colleagues worked there.

I am sure we must have crossed paths at some point😂

I loved Africas' Moroccan sweet/strong tea haha. It was pear juice everywhere else for me. 😆 Of course, the drinks weren't the strongest selling points...

You worked at Extase? We definitely crossed paths then! I used to frequent Extase when I was very young, mainly because I'd stay at my sisters' house and she'd drag me there. I was more of a Talk of the Town kinda girl back then.
Later I almost lived in Kadance haha. Worked there and if I didn't work then I was still there. But that may have been before your time in Tilburg.
Much later, after I returned to Tilburg after being abroad for a few years, I returned to Extase mostly. And de Spoel.
Wow, this brings back memories. Thanks for that.

De Spoel, that is one place I forgot about. Probably because I lived right across from it and it closed like 6 months lates and became the Cyber Gate. I am trying to remember how that bar near De Spoel was called that now is the little devil in the Stationstraat.
I went to Extase a lot from 1996 till 2000 every weekend and was there everyday from 2000 till 20006. I even played in 013 at Loos the first year. Kadance was fun but same as with De Spoel I was just there and then saw it turn to Subway.

I can't recall what the name was of the place before it was Little Devil.
If you did go to the Little Devil, you MUST know my ex brother in law as he was a piece of their furniture. He sadly passed away of cancer a few years ago, even though I spoke to him and suggested he'd try Rick Simpson Oil. He didn't and followed the 'usual' route and lost the fight. Small note: he was the only good thing in that family...

Well, my time in Extase would have been a few years before 1996, as I was out of the country between 1996 and 2001.

Yes, Subway, I remember...I even had some plans, together with friends, to buy Kadance for a while because the owners had several issues and were letting it go for nearly next to nothing. Some of the best times of my life were spent in Kadance, and some of the worst haha.

After my return to the Netherlands, I worked in Paradox for quite a few years as a volunteer, between 2003 and 2009. The Reggae nights were my regular nights, as well as a few others.
Paradox still exists I believe, even though there was talk back then that it was going to be moved.

There's another club I just can't seem to find the name of. It will come back at some stage haha.

Oh, and I just saw a picture of the Old Fashion. I used to go there occasionally in my late teens. I didn't really like the place. But it seemed that the owner's daughter was my doppelgänger because I've had conversations with people who thought I was her many times. I never met her! But she must have had the same issues at times haha.

Yes, Paradox was fun. Fun to work there too. At least, when the old manager Jan, was still there. When they decided to replace him due to politics but in the outer shape of 'what's best for him,' they changed in a very negative way. But wow, WHAT a big melting pot of very diverse, with one to have crazier problems than the other, and the next even more so! I've met the kindest, craziest, most talented, most psychotic, and most angry people there in the time I worked there. Which made me often question my own label of the above haha.

Well I did not visit often but it indeed held the most paradoxical type of people
