i am history.

have you ever seen discovery history’s commercial? “ich bin geschichte” – i feel so insignificant sometimes because i swore to myself i would change the world and what did i make of it yet? sometimes it feels i can’t even change myself. Wer wird in tausend Jahren unsere Zweifel noch verstehen ? Ihr von morgen…

monday mornings…

How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d I believe.

mut.

i was just watching about the fall and rise of austria in the last century. and yes – even if we as a nation failed in 1938, i think that at least the majority learned its lesson. after ten years of occupation we guaranteed our eternal neutrality – and in 1956 during the hungary crisis,…

so even car makers can be right every now and then – really though it’s going to take quite a while before i can afford any bmw i still like their “principle of joy” commercial. it’s not that bad. really. and what’s wrong about enjoying some things? The world is one and it’s starting to…
