Sometimes, All You Need Is A High-Five

...and to share it with a thousand other people.

What keeps you going.

For What It's Worth.

Walking from the bus stop to my flat today I had a lot of stuff on my mind I suddenly wanted to share with the world / the net. About modern life, high expectations, new attempts at poetry, student life.

Real genius insights. Though pretty depressing.

So screw that.

Enjoy Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie instead.

Christmas Shopping

(Cartoon by Gary Markstein via Cagle)

I'm done with all my Christmas shopping for this year - and even without too strenuous encounters with the shopping masses - thanks, Internet! I once made the mistake of trying to enter a brand new Ikea on Dec. 23 - not such a good idea. But now that this ridiculous (but some how necessary) part of this time of year is behind me, I'm ready for the merry holidays.

After a few glasses of white wine..

I spend the weekend with a good old friend of mine and his girlfriend in their new house deep down in Bavaria. And though we got along perfectly (twas just like in the old days - maybe better) and I managed to get along with his new friends, I thought about the people from school I don't get along with all that well. Either by intention (didn't care to much about them during school already) or because we just live to different lives by now and have to different approaches at things. And it'll probably get worse in next few years. After all, it's only been 5 years since graduation and no one of us is out of college by now. Or pregnant. Or married. Or (financially) successful. Oh boy.

And just by coincidence. Kettcar released their okayish (-5 points for the end) new video for "Am Tisch". A song about the same theme, same atmosphere I just described.
