New Years Resolutions

2012-02-04T02:58:00.002+01:00

So far I am sticking pretty good to my new years resolutions. That is quite unusual. But I told myself that even if I don't manage to stick to all of them every day it's ok, because change has to happen slowly or it will get too much to handle it and then it's easy to throw it all out the window and change nothing at all. I am eating healthier, I am using my KitchenAid Mixer and my Food Processor (which I got for Christmas) frequently, I am updating my blogs, and I am reading/listening at least one book a month. In January I listened to 'New Yorker Geschichten'. And for this month I am already on my second book 'Animal Farm'. I just finished 'Fahrenheit 451'. I listen to the books while I sew.

There are not many things, besides family and friends, I miss about Germany. One thing is Quark. But since I have discovered Greek cheese I think I can handle living with this as an substitute. And I don't mean the fat-free version, yuck! I mean the real deal with 11% fat!! Oh so creamy! And really good with honey, bananas and red grapes. Or whatever other fruit one can think of. It is also very delicious in a smoothy. Last Sunday I had a banana/ raspberry/ greek yogurt/ honey smoothy.

I am very determined to start my Jilian Michaels workout next week again. And yoga. We shall see.

I am back!

I have abandoned this blog now for a very long time. Well, a lot happened since. One thing is I got a sewing machine and am now totally addicted. I am really into garment sewing and would like to replace almost all (I won't get into sewing my own pants) of my wardrobe with own creations. I also enjoy sewing home decor and bags. I just finished the top of my first quilt and I don't think I like it quite as much. I don't even want to get into trying to quilt this thing myself. I will give it away to be quilted.

Here are my projects so far in the order how I made them. Here are the projects from September 2011:

08/25/2011 My sewing machine arrived

And I had to buy some other stuff too. Can't believe how much more other stuff I got since.

09/05/2011 My second project: a lunchbag for my boyfriend.

09/12/2011 Notebook cover

09/15/2011 Coasters

09/16/2011 Clutch

09/18/2011 Quilted! Table runner with matching coasters

iPod cases

Schliesse mir die Augen beide

2010-08-19T05:11:00.002+02:00

Schließe mir die Augen beide
mit den lieben Händen zu;
geht doch alles, was ich leide,
unter deiner Hand zur Ruh.

Und wie leise sich der Schmerz
Well' um Welle schlafen leget,
wie der letzte Schlag sich reget,
füllest du mein ganzes Herz.

My piano lesson are paying off. I can play this song now.

Don't stand at my grave

2009-12-23T02:25:00.004+01:00

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

2009-12-13T05:02:00.001+01:00

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Robert Frost

L'Eternité

2009-12-10T03:55:00.003+01:00

Elle est retrouvée.
Quoi ? - L'Eternité.
C'est la mer allée
Avec le soleil.

Ame sentinelle,
Murmurons l'aveu
De la nuit si nulle
Et du jour en feu.

Des humains suffrages,
Des communs élans
Là tu te dégages
Et voles selon.

Puisque de vous seules,
Braises de satin,
Le Devoir s'exhale
Sans qu'on dise : enfin.

Là pas d'espérance,
Nul orietur.
Science avec patience,
Le supplice est sûr.

Elle est retrouvée.
Quoi ? - L'Eternité.
C'est la mer allée
Avec le soleil.

Arthur RIMBAUD (1854-1891)

Eternity

It has been found again.
What? – Eternity.
It is the sea fled away
With the sun.

Sentinel soul,
Let us whisper the confession
Of the night full of nothingness
And the day on fire.

From humain approbation,
From common urges
You diverge here
And fly off as you may.

Since from you alone,
Satiny embers,
Duty breathes
Without anyone saying: at last.

Here is no hope,
No orietur.
Knowledge and fortitude,
Torture is certain.

It has been found again.
What? – Eternity.
It is the sea fled away
With the sun.

To A Red-headed Beggar-girl

tr. A.S.Kline 2001

Pale girl with fiery hair,
whose tattered dress shows there
glimpses of your poverty
and your beauty,

a wretched poet, for me,
your young skinny body
with its freckled brownness
has its sweetness.

You wear, more stylishly
than a queen in story
wears her velvet shoe
your heavy two.

Instead of your dress, ripped, short,
may a fine robe of court
trail in long folds to greet
your slender feet:

in place of your torn hose
may daggers of gold,
down your legs, blaze
for the eyes of roués:

may ribbons loosely tied
unveil in your pride
your two lovely breasts, bright
as your eyes:

may your arms be coaxed too,
to sweetly undress you,
and with pert blows
discourage those

impish fingers, pearls that glow,
sonnets of master Belleau,
by your captive lovers,
endlessly offered.

The poets, in pursuit,
dedicating to you their fruit,
and gazing at your shoes, there
from beneath the stair:

many a page-boy's game,
many a famous name,
would spy, still hoping,
on your cool lodging!

You, in your bed, would count
more kisses than lilies no doubt,
and subject to your law
a Valois or more!

- Meanwhile you go seeking
any old scraps, cadging,
outside the back door
of some shabby store:

you go gazing, from afar,
at valueless beads that are
still, alas, so much more
than I can afford!

Go then, with no ornament,
perfume, pearl or diamond,
only your slender nudity,
O my beauty!

Devil in Disguise

Devil in Disguise - Elvis Presley

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise

You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

I thought that I was in heaven
But I was sure surprised
Heaven help me, I didn't see
The devil in your eyes

You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel

But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise

Moses suposes...

MOSES SUPPOSES
Album : Singing In The Rain
Gene Kelly & Donald O'Connor - 1952

Moses supposes his toses are roses.....
but Moses supposes erroneously.....
Moses he knowses his toses aren't roses......
as Moses supposes his toses to be.

Moses supposes his toses are roses,
but Moses supposes erroneously

But Moses he knowses his toses aren't roses,
as Moses supposes his toses to be!

Moses supposes his toses are roses,
As Moses supposes his toses to be,

A Mose is a Mose,
A rose is a rose,
A toes is a toes,
Hoopdedillydilly!

Moses supposes his toses are roses,
but Moses supposes erroneously,
Moses he knowses his toses aren't roses,
as Moses supposes his toses to be!

Moses! Moses! Moses!
As Moses supposes his toses to be!

A rose is a rose is a rose is a roses,
A rose is what Moses supposes his toes is,
It couldn't be a Lilly or a taffy-daffy- dilly,
It's got to be a rose cause it rhymes with Mose

Life is/ Life isn't

2009-09-06T18:54:00.002+02:00

Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many friends you have.
Or how accepted you are.
Not about if you have plans this weekend or if you're alone.
It isn't about who you're dating, who you used to date, how many people dated, or if you haven't been with anyone at all.
It isn't about who you have kissed.
It's not about sex.
It isn't about who your family is or how much money they have.
Or what kind of car you drive.
Or where you are sent to school.
It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to.
It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown.
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.
Not about what grades you get, how smart you are, how smart everybody else thinks you are, or how smart standardized tests say you are.
It's not about what clubs you're in or how good you are at "your" sport.
It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper and seeing who will "accept the written you."

But, life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or a weapon.
It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.
About starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip.
It's about what judgments you pass and why. And who your judgments are spread to.
It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow, and spreading it.
But most of all, it's about using your life to touch or poison people's hearts in such a way that could have never occurred alone.

Only you choose the way those hearts are affected, and those choices are what life's all about.

Desiderata

2009-09-06T18:48:00.004+02:00

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann

Wear Sunscreen

2009-09-05T23:39:00.001+02:00

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

The longest time

2009-08-10T05:33:00.002+02:00

The longest time - Billy Joel

Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far
And it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for
The longest time

Good night

2009-08-04T05:09:00.006+02:00

The lark is silent in his nest,
The breeze is sighing in its flight,
Sleep, Love, and peaceful be thy rest.
Good-night, my love, good-night, good-night.

Sweet dreams attend thee in thy sleep,
To soothe thy rest till morning's light,
And angels round thee vigil keep.
Good-night, my love, good-night, good-night.

Sleep well, my love, on night's dark breast,
And ease thy soul with slumber bright;
Be joy but thine and I am blest.
Good-night, my love, good-night, good-night.

Eyes - Rogue Wave

Missed the last train home.
Birds pass by to tell me that I'm not alone.

Well I'm pushing myself to finish this part,
I can handle a lot,
But one thing I'm missing is in your eyes.

In your eyes (6)

Have you seen this film?
It reminds me of walking through the avenues.

Washing my hands of attachments yeah,
land on the ground,
one thing I'm missing, is in your eyes.
(Cause I find love),

In your eyes

Silly Rhymes

2009-07-22T01:08:00.003+02:00

Du bist mein Glück,
du bist mein Stern,
auch wenn du schimpfst
hab ich dich gern.

Es ist ein Glück in diesem Leben,
daß Küsse keine Flecken geben.

Ich würde dir ohne Bedenken
eine Kachel aus meinem Ofen schenken.

Erwartungshaltung

2009-07-22T01:02:00.002+02:00

Ich werde dir
weder wöchentlich
die Sterne vom Himmel,
noch täglich
die Semmeln vom Bäcker holen.

Ich verspreche dir
weder den siebenten Himmel
noch die sechste Hölle.

Ich versetze für dich
weder Berge noch Täler.

Ich werde dir
weder jeden Wunsch
von den Augen,
noch von deinen Ohrwascheln
ablesen.

Ich werde dich
weder immer
auf Händen tragen,
noch dir zu Füßen fallen.

Es sei denn,
du erwartest es
nicht
von mir.

Rilke

2009-06-24T04:01:00.003+02:00

Ja ich sehne mich nach dir. Ich gleite
mich verlierend selbst mir aus der Hand,
ohne Hoffnung, dass ich Das bestreite,
was zu mir kommt wie aus deiner Seite
ernst und unbeirrt und unverwandt.

…jene Zeiten: o wie war ich Eines,
nichts was rief und nichts was mich verriet;
meine Stille war wie eines Steines,
über den der Bach sein Murmeln zieht.

Aber jetzt in diesen Frühlingswochen
hat mich etwas langsam abgebrochen
von dem unbewussten dunkeln Jahr.
Etwas hat mein armes warmes Leben irgendeinem in die Hand gegeben,
der nicht weiß was ich noch gestern war.

Rainer Maria Rilke

You can call me Al

2009-06-23T13:30:00.003+02:00

Paul Simon - You can call me Al

A man walks down the street
He says why am I soft in the middle now
Why am I soft in the middle
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard
Bonedigger Bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al

A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of attention
Got a short little span of attention
And wo my nights are so long
Where's my wife and family
What if I die here
Who'll be my role-model
Now that my role-model is
Gone Gone
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All along along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al

A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterlings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al

Journey - Don't stop believing

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night

Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night

[Instrumental Interlude]

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people

More than a feeling

2009-06-02T22:55:00.002+02:00

Boston - More than a feeling

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
as clear as the sun in the summer sky

It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
and dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped awa y. She slipped away.

It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

You don't mess with the Zohan

I just want to make people silky-smooth!

Exec 1: What's 'humus'?
Exec 2: It's a very tasty diarrhoea-like substance.

You know, you shouldn't jump around when this nice woman is holding a sharp pair of scissors. If you move she could slip and slice your jugular man, on accident. There is no way to stitch the jugular. All of your blood will be on the floor in four minutes. I have seen this. I have done this. You don't want this.

Harold and Maude

Everbody has a right to make an ass out of themself, you can't let the world judge you too much.

I don't have a license officer, I don't believe in them.

Vice, virtue, it's best not to be too moral - you cheat yourself out of too much life. Aim above morality.

The earth is my body, my head is in the stars.

As Confucious says, 'Don't simply be good, make good things happen.'

We're all gonna go to church and we're gonna have a damn nice Sunday.

Sonny and Cher - I got you Babe

They say we're young and we don't know,
we won't find out until we grow.
Well, I don't know if all that's true,
'cause you got me, and baby, I got you.

Babe,
I got you babe,
I got you babe.

They say our love won't pay the rent,
before it's earnt, our money's all been spent.
I guess that's so, we don't have a pot,
but at least I'm sure of all the things we got.

Babe,
I got you babe,
I got you babe.

I got flowers in the spring,
I got you to wear my ring.
And when I'm sad, you're a clown,
and if I get scared, you're always around.

So don't let them say your hair's too long,
'cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong.
Then put your little hand in mine
there ain't ni hill or mountain we can't climb.

Babe,
I got you babe,
I got you babe.

I got you to hold my hand,
I got you to understand.
I got you to walk with me,
I got you to talk with me.
I got you to kiss goodnight,
I got you to hold me tight.
I got you, I won't let go,
I got you to love me so.

I got you babe!

I got you babe ...

Es kommt die Nacht, reich mit Geschmeiden
geschmückt des blauen Kleides Saum;
- sie reicht mir mild mit ihren beiden
Madonnenhänden einen Traum.

Dann geht sie, ihre Pflicht zu üben,
hinfort die Stadt mit leisem Schritt
und nimmt, als Sold des Traumes, drüben
des kranken Kindes Seele mit.

Comedian Harmonists

Ich woll`t ich wär ein Huhn

Der Mann hat`s auf der Welt nicht leicht,
das Kämpfen ist sein Zweck,
und hat er endlich was erreicht,
nimmt`s seine Frau ihm weg.

Er lebt, wenn`s hoch kommt hundert Jahr
und bringt`s bei guten Start und nur,
wenn er sehr fleißig war, zu einem Rauschebart.

Ref:
Ich woll`t ich wär ein Huhn,
ich hätt nicht viel zu tun.
Ich legte vormittags ein Ei und nachmittags wär ich frei.
Mich lockte auf der Welt,
kein Ruhm mehr und kein Geld,
und fände ich das große Los,
dann fräße ich es bloß.

Ich brauchte niemehr in`s Büro,
ich wäre dämlich aber froh, drum hab ich mir gedacht:
Ich wollt ich wär ein Huhn, ich
hätt nicht viel zu tun,
ich legte täglich ein Ei und Sonntags auch mal zwei..Juchhei

Die Eier werden manchmal rar,
sie stehen auch gut im Preis, drum ist das Huhn ein großer Star,
den man zu schätzen weiß.

Und hab ich manchmal keine Lust,
ein kluger Mensch zu sein,
erwacht ein Wunsch in meiner Brust und ich gestehe ein.

Ref: Ich wollt ich wär..........

In too deep - Genesis

In too deep - Genesis

All that time I was searching, with nowhere to run to, it started me thinking,
Wondering what I could make of my life, and who'd be waiting,
Asking all kinds of questions, to myself, but never finding the answers,
Crying at the top of my voice, and no one listening,
All this time, I still remember everything you said
There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget.

Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this,
You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,
Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,
You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.

So listen, listen to me,
Ooh you must believe me,
I can feel your eyes go thru me,
But I don't know why.

Ooh I know you're going, but I can't believe
It's the way that you're leaving,
It's like we never knew each other at all, it may be my fault,
I gave you too many reasons, being alone, when I didn't want to
I thought you'd always be there, I almost believed you,
All this time, I still remember everything you said, oh
There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget.

Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this,
You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,
Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,
You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.

So listen, listen to me,
I can feel your eyes go thru me

It seems I've spent too long
Only thinking about myself - oh
Now I want to spend my life Just caring bout somebody else.

Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this,
You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,
Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,
You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.

You know I love you, but I just can't take this,
You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,
Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,
You know I want to, but I'm in too deep...

Kriegslied

2009-03-29T22:52:00.003+02:00

's ist Krieg! 's ist Krieg! O Gottes Engel wehre,
Und rede du darein!
's ist leider Krieg - und ich begehre
Nicht schuld daran zu sein!

Was sollt ich machen, wenn im Schlaf mit Grämen
Und blutig, bleich und blaß,
Die Geister der Erschlagnen zu mir kämen,
Und vor mir weinten, was?

Wenn wackre Männer, die sich Ehre suchten,
Verstümmelt und halb tot
Im Staub sich vor mir wälzten, und mir fluchten
In ihrer Todesnot?

Wenn tausend tausend Väter, Mütter, Bräute,
So glücklich vor dem Krieg,
Nun alle elend, alle arme Leute,
Wehklagten über mich?

Wenn Hunger, böse Seuch' und ihre Nöten
Freund, Freund und Feind ins Grab
Versammelten, und mir zu Ehren krähten
Von einer Leich herab?

Was hülf mir Kron' und Land und Gold und Ehre?
Die könnten mich nicht freun!
's ist leider Krieg - und ich begehre
Nicht schuld daran zu sein!

Du bist die Ruh,

Und was sie stillt.

Ich weihe dir
Voll Lust und Schmerz
Zur Wohnung hier
Mein Aug und Herz.

Kehr ein bei mir,
Und schließe du
Still hinter dir
Die Pforten zu.

Treib andern Schmerz
Aus dieser Brust!
Voll sei dies Herz
Von deiner Lust.

Dies Augenzelt
Von deinem Glanz
Allein erhellt,
O füll es ganz!

Die Welt schaut rauf zu meinem Fenster
Mit müden Augen, ganz staubig und scheu
Ich bin hier oben auf meiner Wolke
Ich seh dich kommen
Aber du gehst vorbei

Doch jetzt tut's nicht mehr weh
Nee, jetzt tut's nicht mehr weh
Und alles bleibt stumm
Und kein Sturm kommt auf
Wenn ich dich seh

Es ist vorbei, bye-bye Junimond
Es ist vorbei, es ist vorbei, bye-bye

Zweitausend Stunden hab ich gewartet
Ich hab sie alle gezählt und verflucht
Ich hab getrunken, geraucht und gebetet
Hab dich flussauf- und flussabwärts gesucht

Doch jetzt tut's nicht mehr weh
Jetzt tut's nicht mehr weh
Und alles bleibt stumm
Und kein Sturm kommt auf
Wenn ich dich seh

Es ist vorbei, bye-bye Junimond
Es ist vorbei, es ist vorbei, bye-bye

Doch jetzt tut's nicht mehr weh
Jetzt tut's nicht mehr weh
Und alles bleibt stumm
Und kein Sturm kommt auf
Wenn ich dich seh

Es ist vorbei, bye-bye Junimond
Es ist vorbei, es ist vorbei, bye-bye

Es ist vorbei, bye-bye Junimond
Es ist vorbei, es ist vorbei, bye-bye

Du bist mein Mond und ich bin deine Erde.
Du sagst, du drehst dich um mich.
Ich weiß es nicht, ich weiß nur, das ich werde
In meinen Nächten hell durch dich.

Du bist mein Mond und ich bin deine Erde.
Sie sagen, du veränderst dich.
Allein du änderst nur die Lichtgebärde
und liebst mich unveränderlich.

Du bist mein Mond und ich bin deine Erde.
Nur mein Erdschatten hindert dich,
Die Liebesfackel stets am Sonnenherde
Zu zünden in der Nacht für mich.

Red Forman and Dr. Cox for President!!

2009-03-22T20:58:00.004+01:00

Eine meiner absoluten Lieblingsserien ist "That 70´s Show"

Diese Serie kam mal eine zeitlang auf Kabel 1 glaube ich. Aber wirklich lustig ist sie, wie so vieles, nur im Original. Also in Englisch. Mein absoluter Lieblingscharakter ist unangefochten Reginald "Red" Forman.

Enbenso zu meinen Favoriten im Comdeybereich zählt "Scrubs".

Wie könnte es anders sein, als das mein Lieblingscharakter in dieser Serie Dr. Percival Ulysses "Perry" Cox ist.

Vielleicht liegt es ja an dem unverwechselbaren Charme der beiden.

Ich bin in einem Land, wo niemand lebt,
sogar die Toten sind ins Nichts gekrochen,
hier wird kein Satz, kein Wort gedacht, gesprochen,
denn niemand lächelt, jubelt, schaudert, bebt.

Dies Land ist in mir, berge-, seenlos,
die letzten Molche werfen keine Schatten,
ich atme kaum noch, bin wie jene Ratten,
die blähten sich und platzten, leer und groß.

Und wenn ich jetzt ersticke, war ich nicht,
ich bin kein Toter, bin kein Hauch gewesen,
ich konnte weder atmen, gehen, lesen,
noch war ich Sünde, Widerstand, Verzicht.

Don't let the Bastards grind you down! - The Toasters

2009-03-21T14:44:00.002+01:00

(Sorry, leider schlechte Qualitaet)

Each day I wake up in this gray old town
Each day the system tries to bring me down
With a minimum wage in the factory
I'm slaving in the Twentieth Century

And the whole damn world
Is gangin up to bring me to my knees

And now the neighbors make it loud and clear
That they want no ravers moving in around here
I wont play ball, wont do what i'm told
I'd rather be a square peg in a round hole

Don't let the bastards grind you down!
Don't let them grind you down!
Don't let the bastards grind you down!
Don't let them grind you down!

I'm living in a world where I don't really fit
Every day walking through the same old shit
I'm gonna get my gun, gonna get prepared
I'm not impressed and I'm not scared

Don't let the bastards grind you down!
Don't let them grind you down!
Don't let the bastards grind you down!
Don't let them grind you down!

Me say the war must stop
No one canna win
Ah we livin in da ghetto
On da streets of dis town
Ah da whole world
I said dis a one
...you a man
You stand up firm gotta stand up strong
Listen ghetto youth dis how we keep in da land

Don't let the bastards grind you down!
Don't let them grind you down!
Don't let the bastards grind you down!
Don't let them grind you down!
Don't let the bastards grind you down!
Don't let them grind you down!
Don't let the bastards grind you down!
Don't let them grind you down!

Heartbreak Quotes

2009-03-19T23:36:00.004+01:00

I wish he meant it when he kissed me cause then I could look back and see someone who loved me but I can only go back and see someone who used me.

You always say you hate to see me hurt, and you hate to see me cry. So all those times that you hurt me, did you close your eyes?

I don't know which I would rather believe... that you never did care or that you eventually stopped.

The worst feeling in the world is knowing you've been used and lied to.

I wish I saved all the tears I cried for you so I could fucking drown you in them.

Perhaps I saw what I wanted to see in him and made him to be more than he was.

Love is a perky elf dancing a merry little jig and then suddenly he turns on you with a miniature machine gun.

The hardest thing about knowing you don't love me
is that you spent so much time pretending that you did.

I would have followed him to hell if he asked me to and with all he put me through, maybe I did.

I remember when I still believed the things you said.

The only thing worse than a broken heart is knowing you'd give him another chance.

One day you'll look back and think... damn! that girl really did love me...

Romeo and Juliet

2009-03-04T12:02:00.001+01:00

ACT II SCENE II	Capulet's orchard.

ROMEO	He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
	JULIET appears above at a window
	But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
	It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
	Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,	5
	Who is already sick and pale with grief,
	That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
	Be not her maid, since she is envious;
	Her vestal livery is but sick and green
	And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.	10
	It is my lady, O, it is my love!
	O, that she knew she were!
	She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?
	Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
	I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:	15
	Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
	Having some business, do entreat her eyes
	To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
	What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
	The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,	20
	As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
	Would through the airy region stream so bright
	That birds would sing and think it were not night.
	See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
	O, that I were a glove upon that hand,	25
	That I might touch that cheek!
JULIET	Ay me!
ROMEO	She speaks:
	O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art
	As glorious to this night, being o'er my head	30
	As is a winged messenger of heaven
	Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
	Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
	When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
	And sails upon the bosom of the air.	35
JULIET	O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
	Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
	Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
	And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
ROMEO	Aside
JULIET	'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;	40
	Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
	What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
	Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
	Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
	What's in a name? that which we call a rose	45
	By any other name would smell as sweet;
	So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
	Retain that dear perfection which he owes
	Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
	And for that name which is no part of thee	50
	Take all myself.
ROMEO	I take thee at thy word:
	Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;
	Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
JULIET	What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night	55
	So stumblest on my counsel?
ROMEO	By a name
	I know not how to tell thee who I am:
	My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself,
	Because it is an enemy to thee;	60
	Had I it written, I would tear the word.
JULIET	My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words
	Of that tongue's utterance, yet I know the sound:
	Art thou not Romeo and a Montague?
ROMEO	Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike.	65
JULIET	How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?
	The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,
	And the place death, considering who thou art,
	If any of my kinsmen find thee here.
ROMEO	With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls;	70
	For stony limits cannot hold love out,
	And what love can do that dares love attempt;
	Therefore thy kinsmen are no let to me.
JULIET	If they do see thee, they will murder thee.
ROMEO	Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye	75
	Than twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet,
	And I am proof against their enmity.
JULIET	I would not for the world they saw thee here.
ROMEO	I have night's cloak to hide me from their sight;
	And but thou love me, let them find me here:	80
	My life were better ended by their hate,
	Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.
JULIET	By whose direction found'st thou out this place?
ROMEO	By love, who first did prompt me to inquire;
	He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes.	85
	I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far
	As that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea,
	I would adventure for such merchandise.
JULIET	Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,
	Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek	90
	For that which thou hast heard me speak to-night
	Fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny
	What I have spoke: but farewell compliment!
	Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay,'
	And I will take thy word: yet if thou swear'st,	95
	Thou mayst prove false; at lovers' perjuries
	Then say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,
	If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully:
	Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won,
	I'll frown and be perverse an say thee nay,	100
	So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world.
	In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond,
	And therefore thou mayst think my 'havior light:
	But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true
	Than those that have more cunning to be strange.	105
	I should have been more strange, I must confess,
	But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware,
	My true love's passion: therefore pardon me,
	And not impute this yielding to light love,
	Which the dark night hath so discovered.	110
ROMEO	Lady, by yonder blessed moon I swear
	That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops--
JULIET	O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
	That monthly changes in her circled orb,
	Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.	115
ROMEO	What shall I swear by?
JULIET	Do not swear at all;
	Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,
	Which is the god of my idolatry,
	And I'll believe thee.	120
ROMEO	If my heart's dear love--
JULIET	Well, do not swear: although I joy in thee,
	I have no joy of this contract to-night:
	It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden;
	Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be	125
	Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night!
	This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath,
	May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.
	Good night, good night! as sweet repose and rest
	Come to thy heart as that within my breast!	130
ROMEO	O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?
JULIET	What satisfaction canst thou have to-night?
ROMEO	The exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine.
JULIET	I gave thee mine before thou didst request it:
	And yet I would it were to give again.	135
ROMEO	Wouldst thou withdraw it? for what purpose, love?
JULIET	But to be frank, and give it thee again.
	And yet I wish but for the thing I have:
	My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
	My love as deep; the more I give to thee,	140
	The more I have, for both are infinite.

Naivität

2009-03-01T16:07:00.002+01:00

Jede Naivität läuft Gefahr, lächerlich zu werden, verdient es aber nicht, denn es liegt in jeder Naivität ein unreflektiertes Vertrauen und ein Zeichen von Unschuld.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan- like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. For most men, it appears to me, are in a strange uncertainty about it, whether it is of the devil or of God, and have somewhat hastily concluded that it is the chief end of man here to "glorify God and enjoy him forever".

If you want something in life, reach out and grab it!

You can get it if you really want

2009-02-23T10:42:00.005+01:00

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try - try and try - try and try
You'll succed at last - mmmm yeah

Persecution you must fear
Win or lose the battle, get your share
You've got your mind set on a dream
You can it though hard it may seem

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want, yeah
You can get it if you really want
But you must try - try and try - try and try
You'll succed at last - don't you know it

Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the harder the battle, you see
Is the sweeter the victory

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try - try and try - try and try
You'll succed at last

Die Made

2009-02-19T21:54:00.002+01:00

Hinter eines Baumes Rinde
wohnt die Made mit dem Kinde.
Sie ist Witwe, denn der Gatte,
den sie hatte, fiel vom Blatte.
Diente so auf diese Weise
einer Ameise als Speise.

Eines Morgens sprach die Made:
"Liebes Kind, ich sehe grade,
drüben gibt es frischen Kohl,
den ich hol. So leb denn wohl !
Halt, noch eins ! Denk, was geschah,
geh nicht aus, denk an Papa !"
Also sprach sie und entwich.-
Made junior aber schlich
hinterdrein; und das war schlecht !
Denn schon kam ein bunter Specht
und verschlang die kleine
fade
Made
ohne Gnade.
Schade !

Hinter eines Baumes Rinde
ruft die Made nach dem Kinde . . .

Lebensregel

2009-02-18T23:53:00.004+01:00

Willst du dir ein hübsch Leben zimmern,
Mußt dich ums Vergangne nicht bekümmern,
Das Wenigste muß dich verdrießen;
Mußt stets die Gegenwart genießen,
Besonders keinen Menschen hassen
Und die Zukunft Gott überlassen.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Zwielicht

2009-02-18T23:42:00.006+01:00

Dämmrung will die Flügel spreiten,
Schaurig rühren sich die Bäume,
Wolken ziehn wie schwere Träume --
Was will dieses Graun bedeuten?

Hast ein Reh du lieb vor andern,
Lass es nicht alleine grasen,
Jäger ziehn im Wald und blasen,
Stimmen hin und wieder wandern.

Hast du einen Freund hienieden,
Trau ihm nicht zu dieser Stunde,
Freundlich wohl mit Aug und Munde,
Sinnt er Krieg im tück'schen Frieden.

Was heut müde gehet unter,
Hebt sich morgen neugeboren.
Manches bleibt in Nacht verloren --
Hüte dich, bleib wach und munter!

Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff

Und hier das Original

Von dem hier hab ich leider nur noch das überarbeitete, das Original hab ich bei dem Prozedere leider gelöscht. Da war der Finger auf der Maus mal wieder schneller als der Verstand.

Ja, das habt ihr ganz richtig erkannt. Ich werde euch jetzt hier in diesem Blog unter anderem mit meinen zweifelhaften Fotografiekünsten belästigen. Irgendwie muß ich das Zeug doch unters Volk bringen.

Men

2009-02-15T16:30:00.001+01:00

No need to fear a growling bear
Or a dark forboding stranger.
But all you women on this earth
Beware of one grave danger!

Times have changed from years ago
But still it's just as then.
Be on your guard and on the watch
For our enemy is.... MEN!

There are many of them in the world,
Different, yet they're all the same.
How often has one said "I love you",
Then next week forgets your name?!

Where do they get the lines they use?
"Do you come here often?" "Beautiful eyes!"
It may sound good to hear them talk
But we know they're full of lies.

Make sure to watch for subtle tricks
Like "Loosen up, have a drink."
You'll know what his true motives are,
If you have the time to think.

You'd think they'd change as they mature,
Since wisdom comes with age.
But truthfully they never do
Outgrow that youthful stage.

The world would be a better place.
Without men. But still I doubt
That I would be much happier because
"Can't live with them....or without.

I love the whole world

2009-02-12T18:22:00.003+01:00

I love the world

Astronaut 1: It never gets old, huh?
Astronaut 2: Nope.
Astronaut 1: It kinda makes you want to...
Astronaut 2: Break into song?
Astronaut 1: Yep.

I love the mountains,
I love the clear blue skies
I love big bridges
I love when great whites fly

I love the whole world
And all its sights and sounds
Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da (twice)

I love the oceans
I love real dirty things
I love to go fast
I love Egyptian kings

I love the whole world
And all its craziness
Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da (twice)

I love tornadoes
I love arachnids
I love hot magma
I love the giant squids

I love the whole world
It's such a brilliant place
Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da (repeating until fade)

Gute Laune, sofort!!

Nana Mouskouri - Guten Morgen Sonnenschein

Guten Morgen, Guten Morgen
Guten Morgen, Sonnenschein
Diese Nacht blieb dir verborgen
Doch du darfst nicht traurig sein

Guten Morgen, Sonnenschein
Nein du darfst nicht traurig sein
Guten Morgen, Sonnenschein
Weck mich auf und komm herein

Alles kannst du ja sehen
Auf dieser Erde, auf dieser Erde
Doch nun ist es geschehen
Dass ich auch ohne dich glücklich werde
Die allerschönsten Stunden
In meinem Leben, in meinem Leben
Hab ich heut Nacht gefunden
Du hast geschlafen, so ist das eben

Guten Morgen, Guten Morgen
Guten Morgen, Sonnenschein
Diese Nacht blieb dir verborgen
Doch du darfst nicht traurig sein

Guten Morgen, Guten Morgen
Weck mich auf und komm herein
Und auf deinen Sonnenstrahlen
Tanzen meine Träumerein

Guten Morgen, Sonnenschein
Nein du darfst nicht traurig sein
Guten Morgen, Sonnenschein
Weck mich auf und komm herein

Wenn ich sehe wie deine Strahlen
So vor mir spielen, so vor mir spielen
Dann versuch ich mir auszumalen
Wie es heute Nacht war, kannst du es fühlen
Der Tag öffnet gerade die Augen
Lass ihn noch träumen, lass ihn noch träumen
Er wird dir sowieso nicht glauben
Was in der Nacht die Tage versäumen

Guten Morgen, Guten Morgen
Guten Morgen, Sonnenschein
Diese Nacht blieb dir verborgen
Doch du darfst nicht traurig sein

Guten Morgen, Guten Morgen
Weck mich auf und komm herein
Und auf deinen Sonnenstrahlen
Tanzen meine Träumerein

Guten Morgen, Sonnenschein
Nein du darfst nicht traurig sein
Guten Morgen, Sonnenschein
Weck mich auf und komm herein

Guten Morgen, Sonnenschein (11 x)

Dinge, die man bei einer OP nicht hören möchte

2009-02-10T09:54:00.001+01:00

Hebt das besser auf, vielleicht brauchen wir es wieder

Ruf' 'mal einer die Putzfrau, wir brauchen einen Mop

Nimm' dieses Opfer an, oh Herr der Finsternis

Aus, aus! Bring' das zurück, böser Hund!

Warte einen Moment... Wenn das der Blindarm ist, was war denn das?

Gib' mir mal das... das... uh, das Ding da...

Hoppla, ich habe gerade meine Rolex verloren

Hat schon mal einer 500 ml von dem Zeug überlebt?

Mist, das Licht ist schon wieder ausgefallen

Weißt ja, für Nieren kriegt man mächtig Kohle; wow, da sind ja sogar zwei drin...

Alle bleiben ruhig stehen. Ich hab' meine Kontaktlinsen verloren

Stopp' doch 'mal einer dieses Ding da drinnen. Das dauernde Bumm-Bumm stört mich in meiner Konzentration...

Was sucht denn das da hier?

Ich hasse das, wenn Ihr immer Euren Kram verliert...

Eh geil! Kannst Du das andere Bein auch umdrehen?

Ich wünschte, ich hätte meine Brille nicht vergessen

Nun Leute, das wird ein Experiment für uns alle

Tupfer... Mist... Der Boden war doch sauber, oder?

Was heißt: "Der war nicht hier für eine Geschlechtsumwandlung?"

Hat jemand mein Skalpell gesehen?

Und nun entnehmen wir das Gehirn und implantieren es in einen Affen-Körper...

Und nun noch ein Bild aus der Richtung; Mann, das ist wirklich ein Monster.

Schwester, der Patient hatte doch einen Organspender-Ausweis?

Keine Angst, ich denke, es ist noch scharf genug.

Was meinst Du mit: "Ich will die Scheidung"?

Feuer! Feuer! Alle raus hier!

Mist! Seite 47 des Handbuchs fehlt.

Earthlings

2009-02-09T13:13:00.002+01:00

http://veg-tv.info/Earthlings

"Earthlings" ist eine Dokumentation in Spielfilmlänge über die absolute Abhängigkeit der Menschheit von Tieren (als Haustiere, Nahrung, Kleidung, zur Unterhaltung und in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung), veranschaulicht aber auch unsere Geringschätzung gegenüber diesen sog. "nicht-menschlichen Versorgern". Sprecher des Films ist der Oscar-nominierte Joaquin Phoenix ("Gladiator"), die Filmmusik schrieb der mit Platin ausgezeichnete Künstler Moby.

Sven van Thom - Schatz, halt's Maul

Schatz, halt's Maul. Du kannst doch nicht immer reden.
Schatz, halt's Maul. Damit verjagst du wirklich jeden.
Wir haben alle nur zwei Ohren und höchstens ein Gehirn
mit begrenzten Kapazitäten.
Schatz, halt's Maul. Du redest ungebeten.

... hm hm na ja verstehe ich auch nicht,
hm wahrscheinlich weil du ne Frau bist
und ich en Mann bin oder so,
ja... ja... hm ja...
e ja aber man könnte das ja auch mal so für sich leise nur denken
ja… ja ich versuch ja dich zu verste… ja

Schatz, halt's Maul. Schau auf meiner Stirn hier vorn steht's:
Schatz halt's Maul, sonst bekomme ich noch Ohrenkrebs.
Ist es Dir nie aufgefallen? Ich werd' bemitleidet von allen,
und sie kucken so seltsam betreten.
Schatz, halt's Maul. Du redest ungebeten.

hm... ja… versteh ich auch nicht... nur denken einfach, ja

Schatz, halt's Maul. Ich will dich ungern belehren.
Schatz, halt's Maul. Aber wie soll man sich da wehren?
Auch trotz Wachs in den Ohren bin ich absolut verloren,
denn ich hör' dich noch immer Trompeten.
Schatz, halt's Maul. Du redest ungebeten.

Peter Fox - Alles Neu

Ich verbrenn mein Studio, schnupfe die Asche wie Koks.
Ich erschlag meinen Goldfisch, vergrab ihn im Hof.
Ich jag meine Bude hoch, alles was ich hab lass ich los. (Eh...)
Mein altes Leben, schmeckt wie 'n labbriger Toast.
Brat mir ein Pracht-Steak, Peter kocht jetzt feinstes Fleisch.
Ich bin das Update, Peter Fox 1.1.

Ich will abshaken, feiern, doch mein Teich ist zu klein.
Mir wächst neue Reihe Beißer wie bei dem weißen Hai.
Gewachst, gedopet, poliert, nagelneue Zähne.
Ich bin euphorisiert, und habe teure Pläne.
Ich kaufe mir Baumaschinen, Bagger und Walzen und Kräne.
Stürze mich auf Berlin, drück auf die Sirene.
Ich baue schöne Boxentürme, Bässe massieren eure Seele.
Ich bin die Abrissbirne für die d-d-d-deutsche Szene.

Hey, alles glänzt, so schön neu.
Hey, wenns dir nicht gefällt, mach neu. (Hou...)
Die Welt mit Staub bedeckt, doch ich will sehn wo's hingeht.
Steig auf den Berg aus Dreck, weil oben frischer Wind weht.
Hey, alles glänzt, so schön neu.

Ich hab meine alten Sachen satt, und lass sie in 'nem Sack verrotten.
Motte die Klamotten ein, und dann geh ich nackt shoppen.
Ich bin komplett renoviert, Bräute haben was zu glotzen.
Kerngesund, durchtrainiert, Weltmeister im Schach und Boxen.
Nur noch konkret reden, gib mir ein ja oder nein.
Schluss mit Larifari, ich lass all die alten Faxen sein.

Sollt ich je wieder kiffen, hau ich mir 'ne Axt ins Bein.
Ich will nie mehr Lügen, ich will jeden Satz auch so meinen.
Mir platzt der Kopf, alles muss ich verändern.
Ich such den Knopf, treffe die mächtigen Männer.
Zwing das Land zum Glück, kaufe Banken und Sender.
Alles spielt verrückt, zitternde Schafe und Lämmer.
Ich seh besser aus als Bono, und bin' n Mann des Volkes.
Bereit die Welt zu retten, auch wenn das vielleicht zu viel gewollt ist.

Hey, alles glänzt, so schön neu.
Hey, wenns dir nicht gefällt, mach neu. (Hou...)
Hier ist die Luft verbraucht, das Atmen fällt mir schwer.
Bye Bye ich muss hier raus, die Wände kommen näher.
Die Welt mit Staub bedeckt, doch ich will sehn wo's hingeht.
Steig auf den Berg aus Dreck, weil oben frischer Wind weht.
Hey, alles glänzt, so schön neu.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 / Kohelet, Kapitel 3, Verse 1–8

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

With god on our side - Joan Baez

2009-02-05T09:46:00.003+01:00

Joan Beaz - With god on our side

Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I's taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that land that I live in
Has God on its side.

Oh the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.

Oh the Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I's made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side.

Oh the First World War, boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fighting
I never got straight
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side.

When the Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side.

I've learned to hate Russians
All through my whole life
If another war starts
It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side.

But now we got weapons
Of the chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side.

In a many dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.

So now as I'm leavin'
I'm weary as Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war.

Joan Baez - It ain't me babe

2009-02-04T18:35:00.003+01:00

Joan Baez - It ain't me Babe

Go 'way from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong,
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go lightly from the ledge, babe,
Go lightly on the ground.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I will only let you down.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes for you,
Someone to close his heart,
Someone who will die for you an' more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go melt back into the night, babe,
Everything inside is made of stone.
There's nothing in here moving
An' anyway I'm not alone.
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall,
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call,
A lover for your life an' nothing more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

ist ihm Hoffnung zu geben,
ihn dann zu ignorieren,
und ihn mit seinen
ganzen Sehnsüchten und Träumen

2009-02-01T21:17:00.002+01:00

Ich wollte Liebe verschenken,
einfach so und Zärtlichkeit.
Doch schon bald wurde sie zerkleinert,
geordnet und gut gekühlt zurück gegeben,
mit einem freundlichem Lächeln.
Denn der Mensch den ich liebte,
dachte er hätte schon genug davon.

Dumme Sprüche

Alles roger in Kambodscha, nur in Kenia werden´s weniger.

Alles cool in Kabul.

Alles easy in Brindisi.

Alles logo in Togo.

Alles in Butter auf´m Kutter, alles im Lot auf´m Boot.

Auch Arme haben Beine.

Ausziehen, hinlegen, ich muß mit dir reden!!!

Bringen Sie mich irgenwo hin, ich werde überall gebraucht.

Da freu ich mir ein zweites Loch in den Arsch!

...den ganzen Tag und abends mit Beleuchtung.

Andere Mütter haben auch schöne Söhne.

Das glaub ich aber für dich mit!

Das ist doch Hemd wie Hose.

Das Leben ist eines der härtesten.

Das tangiert mich nur peripher...

Du hier und nicht in Hollywood?

Erstens kommt es Zweitens und anders als man denkt.

Jetzt mal Butter bei die Fische!

I cry

2009-01-03T11:29:00.003+01:00

Sometimes when I'm alone
I Cry,
Cause I am on my own.
The tears I cry are bitter and warm.
They flow with life but take no form
I Cry because my heart is torn.
I find it difficult to carry on.
If I had an ear to confide in,
I would cry among my treasured friend,
but who do you know that stops that long,
to help another carry on.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.
Then to stop and see what makes one cry,
so painful and sad.
And sometimes...
I Cry
and no one cares about why.

The Panther

His vision, from the constantly passing bars,
has grown so weary that it cannot hold
anything else. It seems to him there are
a thousand bars; and behind the bars, no world.

As he paces in cramped circles, over and over,
the movement of his powerful soft strides
is like a ritual dance around a center
in which a mighty will stands paralyzed.

Only at times, the curtain of the pupils
lifts, quietly--. An image enters in,
rushes down through the tensed, arrested muscles,
plunges into the heart and is gone.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Mary had a little lamb

2008-12-28T19:32:00.006+01:00

Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.

He followed her to school one day;
Which was against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play;
To see a lamb at school.

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager children cry;
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,"
The teacher did reply.

Zueignung.

Ihr naht euch wieder, schwankende Gestalten,
Die früh sich einst dem trüben Blick gezeigt.
Versuch ich wohl, euch diesmal festzuhalten?
Fühl ich mein Herz noch jenem Wahn geneigt?
Ihr drängt euch zu! nun gut, so mögt ihr walten,
Wie ihr aus Dunst und Nebel um mich steigt;
Mein Busen fühlt sich jugendlich erschüttert
Vom Zauberhauch, der euren Zug umwittert.

Ihr bringt mit euch die Bilder froher Tage,
Und manche liebe Schatten steigen auf;
Gleich einer alten, halbverklungnen Sage
Kommt erste Lieb und Freundschaft mit herauf;
Der Schmerz wird neu, es wiederholt die Klage
Des Lebens labyrinthisch irren Lauf,
Und nennt die Guten, die, um schöne Stunden
Vom Glück getäuscht, vor mir hinweggeschwunden.

Sie hören nicht die folgenden Gesänge,
Die Seelen, denen ich die ersten sang;
Zerstoben ist das freundliche Gedränge,
Verklungen, ach! der erste Widerklang.
Mein Lied ertönt der unbekannten Menge,
Ihr Beifall selbst macht meinem Herzen bang,
Und was sich sonst an meinem Lied erfreuet,
Wenn es noch lebt, irrt in der Welt zerstreuet.

Und mich ergreift ein längst entwöhntes Sehnen
Nach jenem stillen, ernsten Geisterreich,
Es schwebet nun in unbestimmten Tönen
Mein lispelnd Lied, der Äolsharfe gleich,
Ein Schauer faßt mich, Träne folgt den Tränen,
Das strenge Herz, es fühlt sich mild und weich;
Was ich besitze, seh ich wie im Weiten,
Und was verschwand, wird mir zu Wirklichkeiten.
