I see trees of green, red roses too. I woke up to the sunlight coming through the blinds. I quit hockey yesterday, it was too much. I lost the feeling of going out there and just playing, because it was fun. I totally lost it. I think I’ll go out skating on one of the [...]
Tougher than the rest. Another goodbye, another one leaving. I went through Stefania’s photo collection today. She took about 200 pictures in 4 months here in Austria. And I? Sweden? Finland? The only memories I have (besides a rather small amount of pictures) are in my heart. How the summer of 2001 smelled, how the [...]
God’s memo Just hold on, Don’t let go, You’re reaching so high, But it’s not the farthest you’ll go. You can touch the stars, Or the universe itself. But never be too scared, To ask me for help. I’m here for support, In everything you do. Just never give up, I’m walking beside you. I’ve [...]
thank you It has been one of those days you don’t really want to have: first my car got broken, then my bike, no money in my pocket, there is a misunderstanding with phone bills; extra 80 to pay, -25 degrees outside, and so on. Not really days you are dreaming of. And of course [...]
I’ve been waiting. Silently my girlfriend Sanna has joined the ranks of mindwork.net. It’s now four of us (Patrick has decided to not post anything yet): Emily, Sanna, Shaun and me. I like the direction this is taking, from god creating lists to australia day. From silently flying away in your dreams to the thoughts [...]
Australia Day. I love to travel and see new places and right now I am here in Dublin with both my sisters. I know that I should be just enjoying the moment, but I am restless. Itching to get home, to start my new life now that I feel that the old one is ended. [...]
The List I heard a story last night about a list that God has. The list contains two columns. On each side is a name and across from that name is the person they were created for. God rips this list in half and that separates the people. He then tears the list into tiny [...]
flying in the air I was flying the other night. It was incredibly feeling: so free, so happy, so full and complete. After all the longing and loneliness I have felt complete and being balanced. I have been able to feel love. And the most important thing was, that I wasn’t alone in my dream. [...]
Sag es laut. (Say it loud) I don’t think I am studying the right thing. How can I be a good business student if my head isn’t filled with numbers and figures but with words, sentences, stories. Being a joujournalist is my destination, I know that if something in mankind’s history really changed everything, it [...]
I can shine even in the darkness “I am thinking of you and Austria every single day. Getting ready, already anxious. In a way it’s coming back.” Sanna I believe. Share on Facebook
An unchained melody. Kelly’s gone. It’s only know that I’ve understood that the same old wheel started spinning again. Ultimately the wheel that drove me away form home, just so I hadn’t to be part of it. Some of the best folks I ever got to know where all the international students I’ve seen coming [...]
I miss you. Deeply. You know that things are different now, Since you came into my world. You’ve completely overtaken me, No longer a solitary girl. I feel things I’ve never known before, And I wonder how I survived. Being without something beautiful, All that you’ve given to my life. I know it may seem [...]
the universal sense of goodness I have been thinking the whole day, whether there is universal sense of goodness existing. Is there a common need in human nature to produce good and avoid bad things? Reading newspapers makes me really wonder. Violence, violence, violence. Every human being wants to be treated with dignity and equality. [...]
About violence. Therefore, there are five different traits, that are dangerous in general. Those who are ready to die can be killed; those who are intent to living can be captured; those who are quick to anger can be shamed; those who are puritanical can be disgraced; those who love people can be troubled. -Sun [...]
Ashes to ashes an dust to dust. Jan. 18th, grandad has been death for 6 yours now. Time passes. Season come and go. Before I went to Finland, I spent nearly a whole afternoon at his grave, just sat there on a bench in the weak warmth of a midwinter’s sun. It was porbably one [...]
Snow falling on cedars. Have you ever watched a single snowflake from the very first moment you could see it until it silently hits the ground? Must have been nearly an hour I spent at the window watching them over and over aqgain. It was probably one of the most peaceful moments in the last [...]
Unerfahrene bekommen Einsicht, Mägde und Knechte haben Visionen Ich überwache diesen Staat tagtäglich und offen gesprochen ich finde er versagt kläglich Denn er versteht nicht die Sprache, die wir hier sprechen Und alle paar Minuten bricht er frei nach seiner Wahl ein Versprechen. Vetuscht seine Kriegsverbrechen Verlangt von seinen Bürgern zu blechen Nur der Herr [...]
The good people. It’s funny how you can lead your life, seemingly completely fulfilled, with everything you need then it takes just one person to come along and mess it all up. You thought you had it all together, that you didn’t need anyone more, then all of a sudden someone comes along who makes [...]
Wow. I never knew it would hurt this much to be come back home. I’ve spent almost the past two weeks with someone that I connected with in such a way that I never knew was possible. Amazing. I’ve left so much of me behind. The colors of my world have all changed, everything looks [...]
Perfection. I guess what I’m really searching for, is the perfect moment. “No… But I think a man cannot know his destiny. He can only do what he can, until his destiny is revealed.” I believe. Share on Facebook
Truth in advertising. To simply live life should never be a guilty pleasure. – seen on a billboard at 51st and Broadway Share on Facebook
Perspective. Everyone else keeps asking me awkward questions like: -Are you excited to be going home? -Are you sad to leave? -Are you scared/excited about the new job? but all it took was a 6 year old to put it in perspective. No awkward questions, but rather all she wanted to know is will I [...]
The long last goodbye. I like walking by myself but it can also be a dangerous business because sometimes it gives me too much time to think. Right now I have no choice. My bikes are at the shop, getting ready for shipping and my car is getting a final bit of work done before [...]
Silence is your deepest fear. 2004. Nearly three years since I got to know Sanna. I was 19 back then. Just started university, amazing how time goes by. Three years ago I had a feeling the world couldn’t be too small for me, now I know it can’t be large enough. There are choices to [...]
