with a smile on his face.
his books will always be part of my earliest reading memories. i remember my grandad buying them to me, one after another. it seemed, i could read them faster, then my grandad could buy them. his humor was one of a kind and will never be forgotten – ephraim kishon [...]
not just a gesture.
a symbol for a century, a gesture that moved more than any contract. discovery channel showed willy brandt kneeling in front of the warszaw ghetto memorial. there are no coincidences.
i believe.

by your side.
by now i’ve exhausted myself with you. i offered to give it all up for you. i offered to start out again. i wish i could turn back time to the summer of 2003. and then i wish i never left finland. i am so sorry for what happened. is later too late? [...]
a thousand miles away.
my relationship with my mom was hardly ever easy, though she is on the most caring people i know in the world. but she’s afraid of so many things, she hardly ever takes a risk or dives into unknown waters. funny enough, when i was in finland – a thousand miles away, [...]
in need.
And I forgot
To tell you
I love you
And the night’s
Too long
And cold here
Without you
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the strength to say I need you so.
i believe.

so many names.
discovery channel showed a docu about journalists killed in action. and i am sitting here in my small office, covering local news. now i am by no means an adventurer. i just feel that i am not giving in enough. i am not giving up enough to pursue this dream. they all gave [...]
miracle drug.
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I’ve had enough of romantic love
I’d give it up, yeah, I’d give it up
For a miracle drug, a miracle drug
A miracle drug
Oh God, I need your help tonight
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It’s whispering
In science and in medicine
I was a stranger
You took [...]
unjustice.
i am counting days. constantly counting days. if something ever can make me bow my back it’s unjustice i can’t battle. unjustice that exist, because it has always existed and is likely to stay long after i am gone. if i am allowed to say a wish it would be to god: to make it [...]
i just called.
had grandma and her boyfriend over here (do grandmas have boyfriends?) – anyway, every time she is here, she asks about sanna and me. i feel like i am in court or something. it’s over, out, gone and zeroed. why can’t people let me forget about it. start something new and hide my [...]
journey by moonlight.
it’s pretty funny if you walk into a bookstore, take the first book and you know it’s a must-have. that’s what happened when i started reading antal szerb’s “journey by moonlight“. even if i am only around page 20 right now – i know the choice was right. and again mankind has proved [...]
down beneath.
just finished a book by leena lehtolainen. finland is still somewhere inside me, i dreamed of sanna being pregnant with the baby we once planned to have. it all seems lightyears away, chasing through my dreams i had a feeling she needed me, she needed to be protected, guarded. i wonder what more is [...]
There but for the grace of God go I.
My Mum used to always say this when I was a kid but for a long time I was too young to understand what she meant. Time and life has changed that and the events of the last 9 days only remind of how true this is.
I [...]
whoever saves one soul, saves the world entire.
as the rest of the world i am horrified by the events in southeast asia. not only by the fact, that nature can strike in such a horrible way but that it hit some of the poorest countries in asia.
please donate and help here (german) or here [...]
katharina and the waves.
it’s so much fun to see, that there is no coincidences in life and everything makes sense sooner or later. katharina came from frankfurt to spend new year’s with me and it felt just great. we had so much fun over the past five days and she definitly shed some sun on [...]
