I run the website of a Christian church in Saxony, Evangelic-Lutheran Church Community Bautzen, and help them out with designs like for a video wall TV advertisement such as
I also make music, see below for details. Whenever time allows, I love to meet with friends, go out and discover new places and people. I spend dozens of unpaid hours on the phone translating to my clients what their computers really expect them to do and what they don't. And if that all still leaves a few minutes, I love to read belletristic literature.
Some of the best and entertaining stories I ever read are
Some of the best specialized but yet very entertaining books I ever read are
You'll meet me at CineStar Original at Sony Center in Berlin normally for action-packed movies like and also comedies & dramas like
And as you may have guessed from the scan of my soul (see below)
On TV: Monk, House M.D., The King of Queens, and Home Improvement are the preferred shows (if I ever get to watch any at all, lately I don't).
I normally don't plan much ahead to see a show event and remember times when we'd book tickets online from a cell phone on the Interstate between Bautzen and Berlin. And if my Canadian friend Stéphanie had never taken me to the Cirque du Soleil Quidam show on tickets of one of her friends who worked in the team, I really would have missed out on something. Thank you Stéphanie for taking me to the Quidam tour in 1998! You did your country a favor :-). These and more I have enjoyed:
In a tradition, friends of mine who affiance or marry get a single from me ;-) I compose, arrange, play, record, and mix it all from scratch and finally design the label, back, and cover. Normally this needs 30 to 40 hours from the first idea to the final product. To work beyond quality limitations, the time invested would need to at least double, but that would exceed what's possible in my spare time.
The works don't only reflect the personalities of the couple, but also part of mine, and therefore every track is different. Although they may sound as if a whole band or orchestra plays, every single note and sound you can hear has been written by and played on my own. All come from a single Roland JV-2080 synthesizer with a few expansion boards, including vocals like on "Scatting Dino" or "The Cutie". Effects (e.g. the "record noise" on the lead-in and lead-out of "The Snow of the Season") have been added on purpose. Most of the following samples don't include a lead voice, please use your imagination:
The ability to create music is owed to my mom and to my dad who have both been opera singers and let me sit on the sill between orchestra pit and audience during performances when I was a child. I also took piano lessons, but only for two years, because that was awfully boring, I hated it. Another major influence has been exerted by Mrs. Bosch, a former music teacher of mine at Erich-Hoepner-Oberschule (today: Heinz-Berggrün-Gymnasium), as what she really taught was to think independently and have an own opinion.
Nineteeneightysomething I had raised the family record to 9 1/2 plates of salad at Ponderosa's at Carbondale, IL. I liked Circle R even more, but the next Circle R was located in Du Quoin - too far away for a short snack. Unfortunately, neither Austria (where I have recently lived) nor Germany know about the advantages of salad bars ...
So Kyoto Running Sushi in Vienna, a wealth of Pizza places in Vienna, Sushi Circle in Berlin and a europeanized McDonald's menu must do. While at home, I love to copy-cat cook. Every tried to imitate the Big Mac sauce for instance? Try a sauce tartare, it will come very close.
However,
Some typical samples for favorite songs are (in random order):
Adequate samples from other music styles, which I like for their pluralism, a twist, a uniqueness of the score or interpretation:
And dozens more. Also I like movie soundtracks, from time to time classical music. Recently I discovered that itunes features web radio. I mostly listen to their Country channels.
Happiness is a thing in
life one can only obtain by
Friends come and go. Enemies accumulate. Although this may be true, I rarely burn boats and do my best to help my enemies understand me better. You will likely get a clear signal from me and a chance to avoid a conflict before we run into it. Use your options. Nevertheless, some people kicked off wars while they could have easily reached an agreement with me. I wonder why?
Thanks God I have many more friends than enemies. My friends consider me special and different, a unique brand of my own with an open mind and endless optimism. People, who meet me for the first time, think, I am strange, because they are confronted with a chameleonic personality and cannot deal with that. It seems to be the same reason for which many people hate spiders: Eight legs is too much to process, the maximum number of chunks humans can simultaneously process is approximately five for non-digital information. Anything beyond is considered predominant and for that reason dangerous. Of course I am neither predominant, nor dangerous.
"A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked." (Bernard Meltzer)
Friends believe I have a bright mind. But the truth is, that I have a bad memory to bring faces and names together, am the worst chess player (and other strategy games, and cards, and bowling, and other ball games, and ...) you'll ever have a game with, and when you ask me to do basic math I'll definitely need a calculator.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce to you: Biscuit (yellow, cock) and Clärchen (blue, hen).
Budgerigars are covey animals, so it is best to have at least two of them, that they find a partner to care for one another (= lets you have twice the noise and the dirt). And they love to fly (= lets you invest into an XXXXL cage that was originally designed for polecats, to after all constantly leave all doors open anyway). Biscuit and Clärchen die for lettuce (= makes them stoned, so why not drug them a little ... just kidding, lettuce is part of their normal feed plan).
Clärchen is dumb as a post, flies clumsy liky a Raisin Bomber, and is only survivable by copying Biscuit's habits. I still love her. Biscuit is very smart. But unfortunately, as in human life, ...
... characters who are dumber than you still have the say,
Clärchen happens to be a quarter of an inch bigger than Biscuit. Plus, she's the girl, and we all know about the strong influence a girl has on her partner, don't we?
Biscuit used to be shy. On the first day when Biscuit was transported from the breeder into his new home in a cardboard box (that's the least unsettling way for the bird to do it), he shortly peered out of the box and then decided it was better to stay inside. Consequently, he hooked his pecker into the cardboard and virtually hung in there for minutes before the cardboard taste must have been enough for him and he finally splashed out of the box into real life.
Biscuit and Clärchen have been companions in Bautzen and Vienna. But I have moved away from Vienna, and both stay in Vienna with my former significant other whom I have lived with in Vienna.
Sailing boats cruise a golden-blue sea gently while mythical creatures fly softly across lush meadows where flowers and plants blend into a silver-sparkling waterfall as if God has painted a rainbow of feelings on a canvas made of copper. On the shore where I rest on a gray wooden bench that has a brass plate with the words "Sponsored by the Spirit of the Past, the Present, and the Future" nailed to one of the top battens, despite friends are with me I feel yet lonely and am hiding a secret, that my heart has been lost way back to an angel from the South of a foreign land in a never ending dream who has among all and through the years remained the only one to ever touch my soul truly and deeply. |
