Most importantly, Vince is still alive....

"The reason I can only get to back to you now for the first time is a little less fantastic though.Wanted to spent new year outside Holland for a change, decided to go to Paris, went there with 3 friends + my Russian girl... 31 December... 3 friends are in the centre, Alina & I jump in metro to meet them... few stops further somebody snatches her back from behind and runs out of metro (3 guys)... I run after them... following me is Alina & 3/4 more guys of them same group... I catch up eith the 3 dickheads before me... in the meanwhile we have exited the metrostation... I make one of them fall of the pavement... bag falls on ground, passport Alina and some toher stuff falls out... I pick up bag... I get a kick from behind (didn't see him coming)... I fall to the ground, get some kicks but no problem... I get up in struggle... I'm hlogin bag in on one side, 2 guys holding it onthe other side... I look around; Alina is on ground and 7 guys against the 2 of us... quick thinking; this is not gonna work... so I let bag go... (since we had the most important thing; passport)... we go back to metro to get the hell out of there, in case they come back... adrenaline running like crazy, I fell nothing... we get in metro... Alina asks; what that? and point at upper part chest... I take away shirt... damn! I have been stapped with a fucking knife!... we took metro, I almost faded and same story when we got out at some stop... there people called ambulance and so I started 2007... in an ambulance on my way to the hospital! :SWas on intensive care for 3 days since my long got seperated from my ribs because of the knife (there is a term for this in dutch but I don' t know the english one)... anyway, instead of returning home on 1 January I returned home last night... feeling so-so but anyway, still alive!"
