Endless Dreams 2026

“Then a person starts thinking about existence. This is where the world begins.” 

 
 Somewhere, spring is starting, and somewhere else, autumn is approaching. Somewhere it’s summer, and somewhere it’s winter. It’s like Europe and Australia: The world on this planet itself is so vast that the seasons are not the same everywhere. 

Recently, 

Sidney SN released Happs. The “happs” is within him. And so Sidney SN is here with the 

 Endless Dreams.  


Sometimes music captures everything exactly. I listen something, and I know precisely what I mean. Sometimes I think that music (for me, tech-house, progressive, trance, liquid DnB, hip hop, New Retro Wave and different music) itself should be the answer—and if someone doesn’t understand it, then they don’t understand anything that’s being said.  

But the World is too vast to be expressed by a single idea. Existence requires structures that don’t come from just one source...

Karen Foster: A Gegenwelt

Rimmel sweeties

 Karen would probably have expressed herself much more directly — not just calling it disgusting.

Karen Foster
The inspection itself was apparently fine. What was not fine, however, was the criticism of self-care that seemed “too excessive” for a man at the borderline.

What is bold about it is that the more western part of Europe knows someone precisely because elsewhere that person’s personality and self-care were the reason.

I was also amused that although people know who they are speaking to, they do not realize that this very reason is why someone is know…

Even before everyone knew someone, I used to say that I liked how even my clothes still smelled of this country days after I returned--and I also did research into why that is. I thought about it in relation to a relationship — under certain circumstances, it probably would not look this way so much in this space.

Yet hygiene and cosmetic products are not against the system — they are part of the system itself. A sweet business…

These were literally remarks about hygiene and cosmetic products that were found on top of the backpack while showing them to someone else.

The Rimmel was the golden highlight of the discovery. I didn’t understand what I was supposed to explain about Rimmel. Although it seemed like when was expecting a reaction rather than eye-rolling…

Articles are often focused on this subject of self-care. And I praise the West, because sometimes I search more difficultly for values in the Central region. There also were names of an influencers about this theme.

It is the 21st century; as they say, civilization is no longer an age long gone. It should be like a flower that constantly strives to become more civilized — more beautiful, delaying aging and death. A forever life…

There is nothing about life that still has to follow what applied in the last century. Life can always be extended further and further. In an exaggerated version, silicone breasts and other body modifications are part of it too.

Sometimes I answer myself that it is like not going to the dentist, or not wearing braces.

In a my case, Schwarzkopf hair gel for men’s was also a surprise. When I look at Central and the West, people in the West also use hair gel more…

In every sense of this piece, this looks like a kind of “conservatism” toward human progress in self-care. 

For me, it is incomprehensible that someone would be surprised. 

The inspection had already started when a one said where the man was going right now. A truth is that it is legal in most parts of that “vacation” country, also for people from other countries. I have always this question, why everyone would even bring it from another country where, a truth is that it is since the beginning of 2026, it has been highly legal anyway in this country, but in the Netherlands everyone can buy it almost everywhere too.

Faster and punctual

 Anyone familiar with the transport system in the Netherlands also understands why public transport is often faster and punctual…

Dutch trains rank among the most punctual in Europe — often in first place. At first glance, this may seem like proof of perfect organization or a national mentality focused on efficiency, which certainly also plays a role. People sometimes even applaud at stations when a train to their distant hometown arrives exactly on time. But another reason is that the Dutch system simply cannot afford delays because of how the infrastructure is designed.

The Netherlands has one of the densest railway networks in Europe. Trains operate at extremely short intervals, and a large part of the system relies on precisely synchronized connections. In many ways, the operation resembles a metro system more than a traditional railway, including the platforms and ticket gates controlling access to them. There is also noticeably less noise and high speeds. Dutch civilization itself is so interconnected between cities and countryside that the entire country feels urbanized, metropolitan. 

Trains connect within intervals of just a few minutes, and key hubs must function with almost surgical precision.

This creates enormous efficiency:

* frequent connections,

* fast transfers,

* high capacity,

* simple travel without long waiting times.

Because the Dutch rail network is so dense, even a small disruption can create a domino effect.

A typical scenario looks simple:

* a delayed train blocks a track,

* another train waits for a free platform,

* the delay spreads into a transfer hub,

* connections fall apart,

* more trains begin slowing down,

* and when there is a serious issue on the line, the entire centralized network is often partially shut down, with trains stopping everywhere until the problem is resolved.

Especially sensitive is Utrecht, one of the most important railway hubs in Europe. Huge numbers of trains pass through it every day, and any disruption there quickly affects the entire network.

The high density and intensity of train operations make it possible to offer:

* frequent services,

* high capacity,

* comfortable transfers,

* fast travel without a car — often even faster than driving.

At the same time, it creates an environment where just a few minutes of delay can threaten the stability of the entire network, and effectively the whole country. Punctuality is a fundamental condition for the survival of the system itself.

Fat is Fast

 I have a few thoughts about fatbikes. People often ask me whether the bike is fast and whether it is physically difficult to ride…

First of all, I went through a period where I tested all kinds of MTBs, from the original standard 27.5 bikes to the rise and mainstream adoption of other wheel sizes like 29 and 27.5+.

Based on videos from the USA showing a group riding trails and rocks, jumping through forests, I discovered the fatbike. I also watched videos from Global Mountain Bike Network (GMBN) testing fatbikes, and I decided to try buying a good one myself. For damaged roads, dirt and forest paths, rough terrain, but also softer terrain like sand and pebbles, crossing streams, and easier climbing in off-road conditions, it seemed like a very universal solution for different environments. Surprisingly, a good fatbike is also great for jumping.

After testing all kinds of terrain, including easier uphill riding on rough surfaces, I concluded that I personally prefer riding a 26x4 fatbike rather than struggling on a 27.5+ or 29. Not to mention snow. Even on a good 29er, riding through rough snowy terrain is terrible. MTB 26x4 tires are similarly tall to MTB 29-inch sizes, but they are four inches wide.

Secondly, I found it amusing that riding fatbikes is being restricted in Amsterdam. This topic is actually quite openly discussed in the Netherlands. Fatbikes are faster and, compared to normal bicycles, can be quite dangerous because of that. A nation where bicycles are the main form of transport understands this well.

In a way, I share the Dutch approach, and the bicycle is also my main means of transportation now, for example when commuting to work. However, compared to the Dutch cycling infrastructure, riding on damaged terrain with normal tires is uncomfortable, so using an MTB fatbike on rough surfaces makes more sense. In the Netherlands, I would mainly want to ride a fatbike along the beach by the sea, where it would be ideal because the tires do not sink into the sand. Fatbikes were originally designed for these kinds of soft terrains as well as harsh conditions.

Since I mentioned transport, like in the Netherlands I also prefer public transport. In the Netherlands, public transport is generally faster, more precise, and less noisy because the government itself wants people to use public transport instead of cars. The same applies to bicycles and cycling infrastructure. It is also connected to sustainability, which the Dutch government strongly promotes: fewer emissions, less pollution, and less use of natural resources. Recently, different train discounts have also been discussed for this reason. The Dutch government is actively trying to encourage people to use public transport more often.

In the Czech Republic, sustainability, including public comfort are often ignored and perceived as restrictions. In my opinion, what is truly limiting is outdated oil-based infrastructure that feels closer to the third world. Modern infrastructure in the Netherlands is far more modern, faster, and quieter.

Huis van Oranje

 If I told someone because carrots are also orange thanks to the Netherlands, many people would probably think it’s fake.

For most of history, that simply was not the case. Carrots existed in many colors — purple, white, yellow, and red. The orange variety that dominates the world today only became popular in the early modern era, mainly thanks to Dutch agriculture, which I have mentioned several times already as highly inspiring.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, agriculture and trade developed rapidly in Netherlands. Dutch farmers experimented with cultivating different vegetable varieties and gradually bred more stable and tastier orange carrots.

And thanks to the strong Dutch trade and logistics network, which I have also mentioned before, orange carrots quickly spread across Europe and later to other parts of the world.

The orange color is also linked to a high content of beta-carotene, which the human body converts into vitamin A.

And just to add a bit more Dutch… who knows who is behind New York City? Today’s New York City was originally a Dutch colony called New Amsterdam. The Dutch founded it around 1624 on the island of Manhattan as part of the colony of New Netherland.
