Random...

I'm watching Garden State. It's a cool movie. I havent totally figured it out yet, but it is pretty good. It was written and directed by Zach Braff who also plays the main character.
I wonder what is real in that movie and what isnt. There seems to be something in there that is about what is reality and what is imagination. That's to be investigated...
There are so many things in that movie I would have put in a movie had I ever done one. Like, just to name one, the first scene of him sitting in a plane that is about to crash and he just sits there, calm, adjusting the air condition - totally disconnected from his upcoming death. I had this in my head so many times when I was flying and I always saw that scene with happy music in the background. Well...but I'm glad somebody did that now. Aaaaanyway...something to check out.

The laptop is back on my lap and I wonder how many entrys are to come until I cant get it up anymore. I bet in 10 years birth rates are gonna be ... tiny because of all those waves and everything thats around us 24/7. Scary stuff.
I want a video camera. I'm sick of that crappy Digital (photo) camera that makes tiny 5 minute films in bad quality. Maybe christmas. I need that and a fake plane interior I guess... Movies are great.

I dont know what else to write.., but I suppose it doenst really matter.
Enough of that...

Cheers.

Daniel Powter - Bad Day

A story #1

Once upon a time, in a land not so far away there was a little cat whose name was kittie cat. You might say that this is not an inventive name. Well, kittie would very much agree with you and she certainly had this argument with her parens before, but right now there were other things to worry about.




The object of worry that is important for this story is that of a small, but heavy, black, wooden ball.
Not just some ball of course but the ball that was bound to change kitties life forever.
It was a sunny warm day when it so happened that kittie felt that very well known itch inside her throat and excused herself from the party of a few friends to cough up some of her own furry self. As she was engaged in that very private business, that had been banned from the public eye a long time ago during the catvolution (and yet again kittie was very much fighting her point concerning the stupidity of that word play), she felt that something miraculous was about to happen. The lump that was stuck in mid-throat was not your ordinary piece of butt-fur, but something small, but heavy...tasting of wood and round like an eyeball. Through an exhausting battle with her own body kittie was able to bring to light that unknown, magical object but for long did not dare to enquire about it's origin. Not untill the day she witnessed the unbelievable and a piece of the puzzle fell into her lap...

Do not take any of this serious, I dont - I'm bored and nobody reads this anyway, but just in case...cheers.

I dont know what to say...

Geez...what a day. So little did it contain, but so much did the content consume...

I have the laptop on my lap and I hear they say it is not good for your potence. I dont mind, its nice and warm. I listen to "A Perfecr Circle" and I tell myself a joke about a man who gets stuck in the desert with his schizophrenic eurasian red squirrel who believes that it is a lonely maid, stuck in a vicious circle between the strict belief the church has inflicted upon her sad soul and the love of her life - personated by that very man... . It isnt really that funny, so I wont quote it here, but there's nothing like a good laugh with yourself. With the laptop an my...lap telling jokes is the most entertaining way of interaction with myself right now so that will have to do.

So I get up at 8:30 so I can be ready by 10 to take off for college. I want to stay in bed forever, or at least the next 500 years, but I drag myself into the bathroom and get ready. As I take all the strength left in my body to put on some pants I get a call that tells me that nobody is gonna drive to school this morning. I make a call and ditch the one person left for that trip. We decide to go to the 2 periods at 4pm that are mandatory. Breakfast at my gf's and lots of it. I walk her dog, wash the dishes and drive her to work like an obedient lil man. I dont mind.
I spend some time doing nothing when I should have and take off for school around 3:15. I pick up 2 other kids. Turns out I had supposedly misunderstood my classmate this morning why I thought somebody else wasnt going either and that person waited and didnt know things were chancelled. Well...not my fault I believe, but the argument was there. I got a phone call later and had to listen to crap. I wasnt happy, but I really dont waste any anger on shit like that. I leave that to others. We get home from school, I drive to the stable (horse stable) ignore my alergy against...well everything known to mankind that could be found at a damn stable. I cant find my gf so I go back home, pack my stuff and go to band practice. It's okay, but things could be more exciting. The music is just there, but theres no style or concept.
After that the day is more or less over. Tomorrow I finally need to do that reading and I wonder if it will be possible to get that shit done till friday. The laptop is getting really warm on my... and I'm a bit concerned about my potence. Anyhow. As I said not a lot going on today, but enough to make me cry like a baby. I wish I was really busy. London was great. I had no Internet, nowhere to go (besides the city) and a rather long work day. In my tiny hotel room I was able to get back to knowing myself and reading and writing. Computers are stupid. If you have too much time they start to tackle that time and they shove it in their pixel mouths like PacMan shoves dots in his. I need to read...tomorrow at any rate, but also in general. I wish I had a cool video camera. I want to direct a movie thats a bit more professional and less crapy in its quality.
I wrote in Zach Braffs blog today and asked him to give me an internship place in whatever company he's working on with Scrubs or his movie. Not like he will ever read it, but ... see above - an hour is no time...

It's 00:05am and I need to sleep. I could write on forever or at least 500 years with all thats on my mind but for now this will do. Check out songs by "A perfect Circle".

Chee...nah, good night...

Fear and Loathing in...my life

My gosh...this weekend was almost like that of a normal person of my age...





To continue yesterday first...no wait...friday.
We went to our great Uni in the Netherlands and received our diplomas.
Afterwards we had some drinks in the cafeteria. I drank 3 glasses of cheap white wine and was already done...
Fortunately I didnt drive. At home I tried to get rid of my headache and decided to go to Krefeld to attend the party that was thrown at the "Meilenstein club" by 2 guys from our year. (Pictures)
We took off to go there at 12:00. We took our two host students from Venezuela and Chicago with us. Since I knew the guy throwing the thing we could walk right in and got free drinks...quite nice. I got somewhat drunk on beer, vodka and Jägermeister. We danced and the 2 kids were surrounded by girls in NO TIME. Quite funny. I will tell myself that I wasnt surrounded because I clearly looked like somebody who wasnt interested in any action. (This is my blog...truth is what I want it to be...)
Anyhow. We had to leave around 3 am, because he kids had to be back to their families. I could have stayed and went home with some other friends, but after all it wasnt really my environment or music or anything I really enjoyed. For what it was it was pretty cool though...

Figuring that this was as drunk as I would be this weekend I was yet to be proved wrong. Party at Derya's place - bring your own drinks. I dont know why I even bought the sixpack beer, but had I known I would be engaged in some massive shot action all night I could have spent those 5 bucks on something more useful.
But first I took my gf out to dinner at a chinese place and stuffed myself with chinese food. Not to mention the sausage with potatoes I ate earlier not to piss off the person who made it. Lets just say my belly was feeling weird already without half a litre vodka and martini in it.
We played a drinking game and I wasnt really on top of it (having never played it before). Long stroy short - lots of drinking, losts of laughing, more drinking - - hugging the toilet...*coughtwicecough* aaaand sleeping. Well, I told them I needed to stop...and I did, but once I had walked down the stairs from my friends room downstairs a truck hit me frontally... quick, quiet, clean business though - puking is easy.

So yeah...so much for my weekend. Sunday is study day...I need to finish my 2-3 pages about India, do research on trade restrictions for 9 countries, write a STEP analysis and...oh yeah, great...read 4 chapters on 80 pages and summarise. I love my life.

Cheers...

"Vordiplomstag" - Horray

Ja, heute ist ein guter Tag. Zur Feier des Tages auf Deutsch..schliesslich mein Blog und grad ists mir nach Deutsch. Wie dem auch sei. Um 2 werden wir uns aufmachen die Uni zu infiltrieren und die Diplome einzuheimsen. Jawohl. Damit kann man sich dann fein den Arsch abwischen. Hat doch auch was.
---------------------


Besides that yesterday was a fine day and today has just begun. We'll see what happens. I have so much shit to do I dont even know where to start. Things have been piling up for weeks now and sooner or later I WILL HAVE TO deal with it. Things will be fine I think. Lots of reading and lots of writing. Research, research and more research not to be forgotten. I wouldnt mind if this case study wasnt that stupid in itsself. Oh well...

I'm listening to "Invalid Litter Dept." by "At the Drive In" and its a kick ass song. Check it out.

More to come...

Cheers!

Untiteled #1

(picture of my best friend in Taiwan)

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee...

My gosh, I'm beat. After going to bed at 2am last night this beautiful new day started with an 9am meeting at my friends Pizza place. There we spent around ... 5 1/2 hours on further discussion and research about Asia. I start to become more and more interested in the asian continent. My best friend is currently spending time in Taipeh and though he doesnt think its THAT great I could imagine it to be a blast. Well...being the spoiled brat that I am it should only be a matter of time till I hit ground over there.
Anyhow...after doing that work and eating a lot (of course) we took off for Uni and had another 2 1/2 hours of meeting for the Mini company. No boring details here..

Way to spend a day. It actually feels like today I can say I did accomplish something after all. Great! I need to study for my spanish class tomorrow, but I suppose I'll do that in bed tonight.

I'm not quite sure if this is the purpose of a blog really...its more like a diary (or verbal diarrhea)... Please dont comment on this, ;)

I'm enjoying Coheed and Cambria.
I like the new album. It needs to grow, but after all its pretty solid and has some kick ass songs.
Well...I guess they stick to what they do, but I wouldnt say its getting boring yet. I wont engage in the whole music discussion...I have enough of that every day in the car with 3-4 mainstream pop lovers (nothing wrong with that, but they're music nazis...lol).

I suppose this wont get any more interesting. I'm pissed because I havent heard from either New York or Miami, concerning my work placement enquiry. I suppose it was foolish to think that the C.V. and a recommendation from Wunderman Automotive in London would be enought to get into the Wunderman headquarters in one of those cities... Well, I guess I'll have to find something else, cuz I need something some time soon.

Cant wait for rehearsals tomorrow. Got some input in my mind. Hope it wont be cancelled again...wouldnt be good for my mood at least.

That's all for now. Got some stuff to do, cuz I'm busy and important and smart and all that shit! (Keep that in mind! - Main message of this blog!)

Cheers!

[In case anyone wonders: This is in english for no good reason, but because I like it that way.]

Is there sense in having this if nobody knows its there?

Well...I guess people would read this if I was in the least interesting.
I'm not.





I'm supposed to do stuff for Uni right now. Like reading 450 remaining pages and writing a recommendation on two asian countries...well, as I said, no fun there.
BUT I am indeed wasting my time doing nothing really. Is that really a waste of time? Well...yes.
If I ask myself what I accomplished today (besides writing bad english for no good reason at all) I would have to say: I read about 5 pages of Global Marketing, I filled in a sheet for the human recource department, I marked some things in my agenda, I drew and played guitar, I ate Nutella with a spoon, I drove my gf to work (before doing any of that other stuff), I returned videos and thats about it. How is that all I did in 6 hours? I wish I had a job that kept me busy. If left to my own devices I will just not do anything. If it felt good at least...

Anyhow, I WILL spend the night reading and doing what I have to do, cuz there is a meeting at 9am tomorrow morning and I want to present my 2 countries (India and Taiwan if anyone cares). I suppose it'll be Japan in the end but never the less...
Shoot...I need to write a report thingy, great to have a blog that makes you think about what you do...I'll add that to my "to do" list. Yay! - Done.
Where was I...oh yeah, so thats what I'll do tonight. I suppose my gf will only watch CSI (which I hate) anyway, so no hard feeling on missing that...

Tomorrow afternoon (3pm) I'll have the 5th Mini company meeting. Shouldnt be too exciting, but maybe I'll be able to come up with a refined version of our grand grand shopping list product idea (dont ask...still the best approach).
Geez...how am I gonna do all the shit that needs to be done? 2 more weeks of Uni, 1 week vacation (that I didnt even know about till 2 days ago) and then all the examination shit will start already. Horray. I mean...okay, ALL the shit. One test about 500 pages worth of more ore less interesting (not to say boring) literature and an oral exam that shouldnt be a biggie. Still...we're fighting for an open book test. Or rather, I'm tangeled up in that fight...because I personally rather have a closed book test with questions that are rather basic than an open book one that will require us to read everything ourselves. We'll see how that turns out.

What keeps me going a lil bit is band practice, but I feel like that is going downhill (sooner or later for that matter) in a way. I wont get into the details, but the band as it is isnt stable and the output could be minimized dramatically if things go the way they will supposedly go. Time will tell as usual. I hope we'll be able to record some of the stuff before things fall apart. That would be enough to make me happy.

Here's a lil bit from one of our rehersals (recorded with a crappy digital camera and too close to my amp (cant really hear the lead...)). It's called "My own forest" and you can listen to it if you care... remember: practice+crappy camera ;) : Click HERE

Well...gotta get back to not reading my book, so cheers for now...have a good one.

First entry

Good day!

I have a blog. I dont even know what a blog really is, but I heard its supercool to have one these days, just so everybody can see what a genious and exciting guy you are.
Well, here's mine.

I suppose this will be filled with such great stories they will hardly be believed and decades after I'm long gone people will tell these stories around their cozy bonfires and speak of the life and death of...uhm, well me. o_O

I'm already lost.
This is the first and last entry...supposedly. Good to have a blog though. I feel like a gap in my life that has bothered me through its condescending evil grin has now been closed and I have become a more complete and happy person...

Horray and cheers!
Chris
