So last few days were really stormy here. All over Germany had been heavy gales with horrendous damage following them. Some people died because of falling trees. We hoped to tear down our roof, so we can get some money from the insurance and can afford a new one, but like all the time: Our roof is still clinging to the old wooden construction my grandfather build out of leavings from the coal work.
Now the temperature shall fall donw up to 10 degrees °C and maybe there will be some snow in the next few weeks. If I had the choice, the snow would stay away and spring will start earlier this year :o)
Work was stupid today, no one goes out of his cosy bed/sofa and so I was really fucking bored tonight. I read 100 pages in my "GEO Thema" about genes and human heredity. Most things I still knew from my time in school (I did my final exams in German, Biology and Chemistry and now I am studying English and Theology, it crazy, isn't it? *g*)
In a few moments I will start watching "Tsotsi". I heard it is a great movie and it got the academy award for the best foreihn movie, so I hope I will not be dissapointed :o/
Take care guys, next week some mor anecdotes again :o)
Nice weekend all for of you. I will be on a party from my football club and we will celebrate everything, we missed for the last 2 months during the break ;o)

To Davíd!
Tonight during my work, I thought about my trip to Chicago last March. It was so great to see my friend Davíd from Spain again, oh sorry, now he is an American citizen, whom I met in Blackburn 2002 during our time as assistant teachers. We met and we knew we would be friends, no matter where we will be living after that time, this 8 months in the odd Lancashire area. Well, last year he lived in Chicago with his wife Tori and I visited them. It was a great time, but unfortunately Davíd had to work during my stay. But he promised next time he will have more time for me, so we can go out and have some fun together. Ok, Tori is a bit anxious all the time, but I think she has to learn to cope with that ;o) Next time I will visit him, hopefully later this year, I have to travel to Dallas, Texas. Tori is a Texan girl, so they moved there near to her family and I will see a new part of the states :o) I am looking forward to see him again and maybe then he will be a proud father?

Why do YOU blog?
Yesterday I had another look into very different blogs around the web. I thought some are very worth looking, or useful, or even funny, or just nice to read. But, I have to tell you, most of the blogs a a piece of crap. Who wants to know something about a teenage girl in Mississippi being a "My Chemical Romance"-Fan which colour is her favourite? Ok, I can understand this young boys and girls, why they post this sort of shit, because they wanted to catch some respect from people they do not know. They run their classmates down and such stuff, it is not worth reading for most of the world.
But now let's have a look into blog by majors:
Many blogs want to sell you something, some pills, cheap watches and such stuff. Who the hell needs the internet for such stuff? I fly over to Turkey, Tunisia, Thailand or where else and by these things much cheaper, I will ever get through the web.
There are some political motivated blogs, I like these, because the author has a real opinion he/she wants to tell us. Either you agree, or disagree with them, you can learn a few bits from each of these blogs.
But, the blog I hate, are these stupid blogs by an Alter-Ego of a person with temporary themes in it. What the hell, man! I do not want to know, whom you fucked, or whom you want to fuck, or stuff like this. Tell us a story and name it as a story, but stop this bossily faking around and call it truth. No one will believe the story (except they are very stupid persons).
So please guys, tell us a story which at least has some kind of meaning, or we can guess your intention. Everyone who writes something down and other persons are supposed to read it, there is a intention behind. all autobiographies are no autobiographies, they tell some parts of a life, which the author wants us to experience.

NHL TOP 10 GOALS
I love this game! Ok, that is the NBA slogan, but I love hockey as well, even a bit more, I think. I watched a Chicago Blackhawks game in April and it was so fuckin' great. I will do a NHL/NBA tour, just watching games as much as I can in a week in 2008 after my exams. Because it is so great being there and feel the atmosphere, drink some beer and watch the unbelievable moves on the floor.

Today!
So, from today there are only 11 days until Chrsitmas Eve and I have to confess something: Up to now, I have no presents for my family at all!!! Ok, at least I have one idea for my brothers present, but I am not sure whether it is ok or not. :o( So, I am open for VERY good pieces of advice, so do not dissapoint me, folks.
Now, I have to concentrate on this after I passed all my oral presentations. This one today was pretty good and I earned some praise ;o) So, I like my religious studies, but now it is time to find an end. There was a very depressing poll around students. The question was, what they wanted to do after their studies and what prospects there are after their study. And the result was a veeeeeeeery bloody shame. The students of English, German and History have no real hopes to get a solid job at the schools or around other things. You will be on dole after your studies. Either you do some translating, or you just leave Germany and you have to work somwhere abroad. (Which I realy prefer ;o)) But, I have some hope, because: Anyway, the romanistic students has not been in the list. :oP
Despite that, I like what I am doing and I will find a job, at least somwhere, otherwise I will seek some refuge with you David and I have to brownnose with Tory's father :oD
Just a joke, never mind! ;o)

:o(
I have a terrible hangover today, god damn. I watched the football match with my friends and later on with my brother and his friends. We had some beer, we laughed about Zinedine Zidane (Now he is the MVP, fucking hell, such stupid FIFA assholes!!!) After that we played darts and had some more beer, but the worst thing were all the joints. I usually do not smoke, only when I am drunk and then only one or two cigarillos, but yesterday I forgot mine, so I had to take what was there ;o) Today, I still have 2mg THC in my veins and it does not feel great :o( Only listening to some very loud Reggae music let me forget this 'pain'. By the way: I will go to a Reggae festival with my friend to Losheim am See on August 26th. There we will have some fun and hopefully we will able to swim there while some not very interesting bands are playing. ;o) Later on we will sing and cheer for Gentleman and Seeed of course.
By the way I sold my mums old car yesterday for 334€ :o) It quite an enormous price for such an old, right off car, but some of our French 'neighbours' bought it, so we are happy to get rid off it soon :o)
Now, I will try to come down and not to be so 'high' anymore ;o)

Don't Cry!
Tears Don’t Fall
With blood shot eyes I watch you sleeping
The warmth I feel beside me is slowly fading
Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Would she hold me if she new my shame?
There’s always something different going wrong
The path I walk in the wrong direction
There’s always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me make things better?
Your tears don’t fall they crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
Your tears don’t fall they crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
The moments died, I hear no screaming
The visions left inside me are slowly fading
Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Would she hold me, if she if she new my shame?
There’s always something different going wrong
The path I walk in the wrong direction
There’s always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me make things better?
Your tears don’t fall they crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
Your tears don’t fall they crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
This battered room I've seen before
The broken bones they heal no more, no more
With my last breath I'm choking,
Will this ever end? I'm hoping,
My world is over one more time.
Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Will she hold me, if she if she new my shame?

Feelings
"Bein' green..." (Does everyone this great song by Kermit the frog, or one of the remakes by Van Morrison e.g.?)
"to be blue"!
"the black wrath"!
"to get red"!
What's the colour for desperation, loneliness, desire for love?
I went to town this afternoon and it is unbelievable how many lonely people you can glimpse, even in a small town like mine. No, they don't just walk alone through the city, you can see their loneliness and sadness. Maybe, I am sensible for feeling other peoples feeling's, but this makes me sad myself :o(
I have the problem being overwhelmed by self-pitiness sometimes, but you shouldn't everybody let feel this. Then they pity you much more and after that you're more fucked up then before. Thus: Keep some of your bad feelings for yourself and try to get over them without too much help. The world is turning even without you ;o)

University :o)
Tomorrow, I have to do an oral presentation. I know this sounds awful for some of you, but tomorrow will be a good one. Because I am doing a course called "Rock and its roots in the USA" this semester and this is quite fun and interesting.
We talked about Folk & Bluegrass at the beginning and moved on to Country. We looked at different aspects and did some behind the scenes research, i.e. up to now our tutor Hank did this for us ;o) At this moment a great shout to Mr. Henry Rademacher, it's pretty a cool seminar and quite interesting. I can impress my father now with background information on bands he was/ is listening to :oD.
But back to my presentation. I will talk about the favourite music in my teenage years: Hardcore Punk / Hardcore Metal (which is really confusing to divide though, that's why I will talk about both music styles in one). I'm not very into this music anymore, but it was great fun to listen to the old stuff again and to learn about the background and the reason why the guys did this stuff. Unfortunately I cannot upload my presentation (at least I do not know HOW to do it) on this page. Otherwise you could have read for yourself and listening to some songs on the internet. But if you want to have further information, or information about music, bands, songs in general got to: http://www.allmusic.com You willfind a lot of stuff there and it is great to snuff there around and to do some "name, oder band hopping" ;o)
That's it for today, guys. Take care of you and be nice :o)
