A lose-lose situation

// October 11th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Uncategorized

Sunday blues …

The body has moved to Amsterdam, the mind is still to follow …

Mal eine philosophische Frage:

// September 27th, 2009 // 3 Comments » // Uncategorized

Wieso hören allgemeinhin nur Menschen, die alle Ab- und Unarten von Techno ihren Musikgeschmack nennen, diese Musik dann aber auch so laut, dass man dem nicht entkommen kann?

Auto. Wohnung. Strasse. ÖPNV. Handy. Etc.

Schon mal jemanden begegnet, der auf seinem supermegacoolen Handy den gesamten Bus oder Bahnhof, sagen wir mal, mit Bright Eyes oder Audioslave erfreut hat?

Nee, “How much is the fish?” gibt’s da nämlich nur.

S-O-M-M-E-R-A-N-F-A-N-G!!!

YAY!!! Drei  Ausrufezeichen!!!

Einen frohen Sommeranfang euch allen!!! 8-)

Am 21. Juni 2009 um 07:45 Uhr beginnt bei uns der Sommer.

So wie das heute geregnet hat, muss das aber einer mal der Sommerfee mal sagen … Mit Regen und Blitz in den Sommer??? Soll das unsere Erwartungshaltung senken, so dass wir uns auch mit popeligen 23 Grad Celsius zufrieden geben? Nicht schön sowas … :-(

Pregnancy - overrated!

// June 17th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Uncategorized

I am just loving this: Pregnancy doesn’t make you divine. Truer words have rarely been spoken.

I came across this via Buzzfeed and I just flicked through their blog but the pregnancy doesn’t make you divine is so incredibly true …  just because you are pushing or carrying a baby around doesn’t make you special, but this exactly the atttitude you get from brand new parents. YAWN.

Anyhow, I am enjoying the blog a little more …

How cool I am!

Got inspired by Adam’s blogpost and a comment turned into another blogpost - word procreation :P

(In order for this to make sense you might want to check Adam’s blogpost first)

Motorcycles

I have an environmentally friendly bicycle - why doesn’t that count for something? 0 points

Wear Cologne

Does perfume count? I used to have that, went missing and didn’t come back and for the life of me I can’t remember where I left it … it’s my birthday in July, so I probably will get one. 0.5 point for that.

Move to Williamsburg

Replace that with Berlin and that’s the plan anyway as soon as I find an employer who sees how totally awesome and cool I am … for the plan, I grant myself 0.5 points

Learn to speak European

Oh come on … I speak English and Spanish - a sweet point each, makes 2 points and who tells the poor nerdy kid about the fact that European isn’t one language but a bazillion? My poor translator heart hurts as a result of so much ignorance.

Grow facial hair.

Not if it can be avoided. No way, no how. No way, José. 0 points. Very gladly granted.

Helmets & Mohawk

Hang on, shouldn’t be a girly list for that? Facial hair and helmets are not really a criteria for us.

Designer Shades

I am wearing my nerd glasses since the 6th grade. Only recently I started using lenses and I bought myself a really nice pair of shades at the Grey Lynn Festival in Auckland. I heavily doubt though that this deserves any points. 0 points

Subscribe to Vice

I have years of CINEMA magazine stored in two big boxes, anymore magazines coming in on a regular basis which I am not willing to throw away and Adam will get a heart attack … 0.5 point for former magazine obsession

Psychorock

??? ??? ??? Is this a good moment to mention I am a big Depeche Mode fan?

Leatherjackets

I’ve got an old jeans jacket, black, falling apart on various spots. I will NOT throw it away regardless of the comments I get because this jacket is the quintessence of cool. 2 points. YAY!

Abercroombie & Flitch

It’s actually called Abercrombie and Fitch. 0.5 point for being a smart ass and noticing that

Learn to play the guitar

I learnt how to touch type. Lacks in coolness. 0.5 for listening to Adam playing the same song over and over and over and over and over again.

Irony

I am German. I am seriously disadvantaged in this area of humour, sarcasm and irony. 0 points

Become a band photographer

Does Depeche Mode need one? 0 points

Wear all black.

Hell yeah! I am doing this already. Much to the dislike of Adam who keeps buying me t-shirts with colour on them. I knew I should stick to my original plan and wear all black. 1 point

Hollywood

Overrated place in the USA. Not interested the slightest at all whatsoever. Taking happily 0 points for that.

Online friendships

Tricky one seeing as I prefer a real life meet up with beverages being consumed to one’s liking. 0 points.

360s

I’d be happy about my old NES Nintendo thingy with Super Mario Brothers 3 and Kirby’s Adventure (bought myself a plush toy Kirby in Tokyo - very sweet, but not cool :-( ). 0 points

Make your own movie

Never crossed my mind. 0 points

Exxxtreme everything

Exxxtreme smart assing … 1 point

Eat more meat

Or less for a change. Adam usually cooks lunch and dinner so there will be meat. Guess that makes 1 point.

Hanging out with Steve.

Seeing as it was me who took the picture Adam put in here, I’ll get the full 1 point.

Ma bitte kurz die Hände hoch,
