As a scientist, and a super curious one at that I’m always trying to discover new things.
This week I have discovered that:
- I can run 5km in under 30mins for the first time in years, and enjoy it
- buying a new toothbrush is not as simple as I thought it would be. Since when did [...]
i passed my grandmother’s place today, the first time after my return from bxl, chatted a little, showed her some of the pictures i took on my notebook. then i figured it’d be great to call to my uncle in manila, so i put it my umts-card and fired up skype. within seconds martina, my [...]
Paraguayan filmmaker Martín Crespo shot his whole movie (to which this is the trailer) with a Nikon D50 digital still camera, the same I use. Wow, great work.
I believe.

Wer zieht zuerst am gleichen Strang,
wer glaubt an die gleiche Idee,
wer lebt den halben Traum vom Ziel,
wer traut sich zuerst übern See?
Heimat ist kein Ort, Heimat ist ein Gefühl.
Heimat ist kein Ort, Heimat ist ein Gefühl.
(for Tommy, wherever he may be)
I believe.

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means, and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again, since it is life.

i left the office shortly before 10 pm yesterday, it’s short walk to the metro station but on the way i have to change trains once. so while i was waiting for my connection i sat down on a bench next to an older couple, a young lady and another guy about my age. so [...]
After weeks of fuzziness and cloudiness, tonight it is suddenly all clear; where I am going and to some extent, even how I will get there. It has been a difficult few weeks in which I have periodically condsidered giving away my job for the first time ever, starting all over again and meeting the [...]
one of my friends got really hurt by her ex-boyfriend. and i remembered myself in a situation like this, when you expect, that the hurt the other person has caused for you is enough already and then still more of it pours in. i do not know what advice to give other than the fact, [...]
at some times it almost inevitable how we are reminded of our past, the people we loved, the life we lived and the things remained unsaid. i can not change what i did years ago, i just hope that at some point in my life they will all make sense. i will go home in [...]
i sent an email home to the newspaper that it’d be back for work on 25th of february. i just got a one-liner back from my boss. a one-line that in a world were people have no work and are daily struggling to survive meant the world to me. “you are welcomed”. and honestly, in [...]
Warum in seinem Namen?
Wir heißen selber auch.
Wann stehen wir für unsre Dramen?
Er wird viel zu oft gebraucht.
Alles unendlich, unendlich.
Welche Armee ist heilig?
Du glaubst nicht besser als ich!
Bibel ist nicht zum einigeln,
die Erde ist unsere Pflicht!
Sie ist freundlich, freundlich -
wir eher nicht.
Ein Stück vom Himmel,
ein Platz von Gott,
ein Stuhl im Orbit,
wir sitzen alle in einem Boot!
Hier [...]
last but not least it has started snowing in brussels. i should have left the office at 6 but i am still at my desk. hockey practice starts at 9, two hours to go – nowhere to go in between. home? home is a thousand kilometers from here. itfeels unreal still to be here and [...]
tommy, one of my oldest friends came to brussels for the weekend, and we went through the whole male-bonding-experience-ordeal. really nice, plus i totallz fell in love with amsterdam. well that could also be related to the fact that if you are travelling anywhere from brussels falling in love with another city suddenly seems a [...]
“No human had ever seen a giant adult squid alive, and though they had eyes as big as apples to scope the dark of the ocean, theirs was a solitude so profound they might never encounter another of their tribe. The melancholy of this situation washed over Sai. Could fulfillment ever [...]
Ii’ve listened to this aria a thousand times and still it moves me, weither it be carreras, pavarotti or the three tenors all together. there is something eternal in music, something that no man can ever achieve. something to stay for the generations yet to come.
