it’s kind of bizarre but german and austrian media have been full of reports about bruno, a bear that has been strolling around the austrian-german border for some time now. well to make things short – they shot him yesterday. the thing that makes me think is not only the media hype but the [...]
the hardest thing ever is to understand that what you are able and willing to give is sometimes not enough – it feels like failing in one way or another and the hurt and pain that come with it sometimes make things not seem worth striving for.

a friend of mine called me today, crying. the closest person in her life had let her down, and she did not know what to do. she is the nicest person that i know, and she was so hurt that it hurt me too. sometimes it is just really really hard to understand life.

When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you wont read that book again
Because the endings just too hard to take
Listen to it sung by Johnny Cash on American V. You will understand, what it means when heroes fail.
I believe.

i loaded so many things on my shoulders during the last weeks – why? because i can’t say no, because i like to do things myself instead of putting them on someone else’s shoulders. but i have to change. i can’t do everything at the same time by myself. i just can’t. i suffer, my [...]
Gehör ich hier denn noch dazu
oder bin ich längst schon draußen?
Zeit nimmt sich den nächsten Flug,
hab versucht ihr nachzulaufen.
Bin doch gestern erst geboren
und seit kurzem kann ich gehn.
Hab mein Gleichgewicht verloren,
doch kann trotzdem gerade stehn.
In meinem Kopf ist so viel Wut.
Gestern Nacht konnt ich nicht schlafen.
Dass du da warst tat mir gut.
Bitte stell [...]
brussels was definitly worth the trip. not only because i instantly liked the city but also by the fact that there you can actually feel what the european union is all about: cooperation, working across borders, growing together. on the other hand the union has major problems communicating its work. people in europe don’t connect [...]
when it comes to flying with austrian airlines, there is one simple rule: don’t do it. unless you really think your life needs some excitement. today i flew from klagenfurt to vienna with a connection to brussels. and yes, it happened again. they lost my luggage. if it’d be the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd [...]
i went down to the irish pub yesterday to grab one final beer before i left this morning – julian, the owner, sent me off with a fairly common phrase “god bless you” – and it kind of triggered something inside me, thinking about the past 24 hours, my job and the opportunities it gives [...]
…Mr. Cocker will tell you.
Said the fight to make ends meet
Keeps a man upon his feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he can’t be bought
It takes every kind of people
To make what life’s about
Every kind of people
To make the world go ’round
Someone’s looking for a lead
In his duty to a King or creed
Protecting what [...]
the us government today claimed that the three suicides that occured in the prisoner’s camp at guantanmo bay where a “clever act, a pr-stunt”. oh my god, how far has this world come, how far have the united states come? the so-called war on terrorism can’t be won at guantanamo, but by changing this world [...]
i know it’s a cold and weird world but after all one well worth living, welcome to planet little marco and congratulations to my friend and now mother lee-anne sackett in down under.

“bild”, germany’s best selling tabloid did it again and probably gave one of the best examples how commercials can be nicely “blended” in with content. in bild’s case on page one. no joking. and we are talking about a newspaper with about 5 million readers each day. so much for putting trust in the media, [...]
austria will be electing a new government in november. november right. well heinz-christian strache’s right-wing national party has entered the battle already with “battle for austria” posterlights. to understand the situation better: the former austrian freedom party (fpö) split into the now “old” fpö in jörg haider’s “alliance for the future of austria” (bzö): so [...]
one night i had a dream. i dreamed i was walking along the beach with my Lord. across the sky flashed scenes from my life. for each scene i noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to me, and the other to my Lord.
when the last scene of my life flashed [...]
It’s been another long week where I feel like every moment is spent working towards another deadline. One of those weeks where the sheer magnitude of the task ahead can occassionally freeze you in fear, rather than just letting you get on with the task at hand.
Like so often before it’s music that is keeping [...]
found this really nice good morning tune by amos lee. and since it’s been some rocky days it’s nice to have someone, in this case amos lee, to tell you to keep your feet on the floor and understand who you are and who not.
Some times we forget what we got
And who we are and [...]
