Springtime!

Spring has come at last, flowers everywhere,
 sunshine, it’s just wonderful to behold…

After such a long Winter nothing makes my Heart happier than the smell of Flowers and the warmth of the sun!

I want it to stay spring forever!

Neverending Winter

Although its only the 25th of February, it feels like the Winter will never find an end. We had Snow since October and everybody has enough of it. This Video here was made around 8 miles from where I live on the 2th of January by someone I do not know!
The beauty of this place is worth the effort to get there, 
even in these Temperatures,
here's part two:


I like it here, but the winter is longer than anywhere else in the country, we have snow till march sometimes!

I can't wait for summer, it's too cold for me!
Let's light a fire and get some warmth... See you Later Dude's!

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand pile at Sunday School. These are the things I learned:

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life--learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing
and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and
stick together.
Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: The
roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but
we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the
Styrofoam cup--they all die. So do we.
And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you
learned--the biggest word of all--LOOK.

Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love
and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.

Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or your government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all--the whole world -- had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.

And it is still true, no matter how old you are--when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

Visiting my parents

Visiting my parents has become a menace over the years, I 'am sorry to say that, but my father has the talent to turn paradise into hell! Next year I will not come here anymore, at least not that long, maybe over the weekend.

It started on the very first day when my mum told him that we need to get beer and water on the way home from collecting me from the train station.
I went into the shop with him and he said we would get one case of beer (20 bottles one pint each) and a case of water. Since we were talking about supply’s for 7 days(because my father wouldn’t drive anymore until new year's shopping) and three people, I thought, like every right minded person would do, that there is already some stuff at home! With that thought in mind I went into the shop and bought one beer and one water and left. Well, I should have known better.

At home my mum asked me: what did you buy only one case of beer for? We have a week ahead of us! So we drunk f** water over Xmas, thanks dad! Don't get me wrong, I like water, I just don't want to drink it all the time, and I would have appreciated a nice drink with my mum in honor of the occasion!

A few days later, he totally flipped out when he saw me boiling some eggs for dinner he, for no reason at all, barked at my mum;

“How can you permit that he boils eggs?”

for obvious reasons, my mum gave no answer.
He hasn't talked to us since, that’s two days now, apart from the obligatory complaints when I have again done something he does not wish me to do like turning on the light in a completely dark room or moving to much in the armchair.
I think now I know how Harry Potter must have felt visiting the Dursleys every summer. I wonder what will happen next?!

Next year I will have booked a hotel room in Austria or somewhere!

Merry Xmas and a happy new year to all of you...!

When people go for ever...

My cousin has just died. He was only 45 years old!
He was a loving and caring person, he was looking after his elderly mother. He was living with his her, because she needs help in her daily routine.
Five months ago he was diagnosed with lung cancer, it soon was spreading all over his body. In the end there was no part of him free of cancer. And he never smoked in his live. 

He died yesterday at 04:00pm MET.
Even tough I didn't know him very well, he grew up in the former GDR, it still hit me hard for he was a part of my family, which seems to diminish by the minute as the members grow older and there is hardly any offspring. I fear that my family will be extinguished by the end of this century.
A sad thought, because we can trace our roots back to the year 1489 when my ancestor came from France to live in Germany and married a woman from Switzerland which also came to live in Germany. Now 500 years later, there is me, contemplating over past and future times and a dead cousin.
I feel sad that he had to go so early, may God take care of him

Ghost's of the past

Today I talked to my cousin for the first time in twenty years. I last saw her when she was four years old. Lots of old memory's are jumping up and down my brain now and I just realized how many people I would like to see again. Many friends I once had I have lost contact to and I have no idea how that happened! I guess that's just how life works, people come and go, some of them will cross your path again and others don't. I feel a bit sad now, thinking about long lost friends which I had great adventures with when we were kids. I wonder if I will ever see them again.
I hope so.
