“200 things i’ve done” meme via/(based on) michaelhanscom.com
You should either mark those on the list that you’ve done, in a comment, or on your own blogs, and send in your link as a comment.
Those that I’ve done are in bold.
1. Bought everyone in the pub a drink
2. Swam with wild dolphins
3. Climbed a mountain (would you call […]

As it turns out,
1: The previous post was my 99th, not my 100th.
2: Mark was right, the poem I had here earlier was the same one that I posted a while ago
So, the previous post was a non-post. It was nothing.
This is my actual 100th, and a never-before published poem.
Monotony
Monotony, one single tone
one caller, on […]

This is my 100th post. I am enjoying blogging more and more, and even though nothing these days is happening that I deem worth blogging, I have a lot of ideas to write about in upcoming posts. For now, I thought I would put up another one of my poems…
Soliloquey (linked to an earlier post)

The same instructor from yesterday’s quotes:
“bagubbing ubbing”
Took me a while to decode that one. Turns out, the guy was trying to say: “Backing up”…
George W. Bush, in a press conference with Iraqi PM Allawi, and responding to all the news reports that the Iraqi situation was extremely volatile, and that people all over Iraw were […]

Ok. If I get positive feedback, I might make this a regular part of my blog. All these are original. Either I’ve come across them person who said them, or I was there when that person spoke.
A list came out with bloggers from various nations. I was checking them out, when I came across this […]

The US invaded Iraq and toppled Saddam in order to ‘bring democracy to the poor Iraqis’. Right. Well, anyway, it’s beginning to seem like they won’t get out of this quagmire anytime soon, and the real purpose -profits…- of the invasion (which is honestly beyond me) won’t seem worthwhile anymore.
The US will realize that they […]

Sunday is typically my only ‘free’ day. I have no weekend, really. To me, a weekend is made up of three phases: Sleeping late. Waking up, and partying long into the night, sleeping late the next morning.
Since I work on saturdays as well, I don’t have that.
I woke up on Sunday a little after […]

My flatmate in Athens woke me up at 7:30 today. Work officialy starts at 8:00 but we’re rarely there before 9:00. Anyway, he woke me up, so that we could get there on time for once. I didn’t see that coming. He’s just like me, when it comes to waking up early in the morning. […]

Could the topics get any creepier?!
Seriously though, we got into this argument a couple of weeks ago about what Sodomy means. I had one understanding, and the rest had another. I just remembered the argument today (don’t ask why) and checked it out. Apparently, there was no correct answer.
Sodomy: Any of various forms of sexual […]

Aristotle believed that “being at rest” was the natural state of motion of any object. That is the perfect definition of the Greek way of life. Greeks are probably the latest people I have met. Shops close at 3 pm two days a week, they take 3 hour lunch breaks, and they generally […]

Mother to 6-yr old son:“No sweety, you weren’t downloaded. You were born.”
Still at work. Arrived even later than usual today (meaning a couple of - well three- hours late). I’m getting more and more into gear, finally understanding what I’m supposed to do, so things are looking up.
Had an interesting night out on Saturday. We […]

Or is it?
Arrived late for the third day in a row. I really want these people to hate me, it’s unbelievable. Almost 5, still at work, doing basically nothing. I miss Hamburg. Never thought I would be saying that!
Anyway, the mornings are hilarious. We have like 5-6 alarms set to go off between 7:20 and […]

or is it?
I am, for the first time, blogging from my office. I got to Athens yesterday, after a walm welcome, that compensated for a cold weather (Jesus f* christ, it’s Athens, Greece!! Not fucking Hamburg!!) wind, no Gales, rain, clouds… Ah well, I guess nothing changes in that aspect, I’m doomed not to have […]

As always, my limited knowledge of German leaves me susceptible to mistakes.
That said, the Germans have taken the whole Chicken/Egg first argument to a higher level. In English, we have Grapes, which grow on grapevines. And we have wine, which is made from grapes. Germans, have Wein (wein) and Weintrauben (grapes, or grapevine). Apparently, Grapes […]

President Bush just finished his acceptance speech at the RNC. I have to admit, that the guy came through as honest, serious, dependable and humble. That, in addition to the intense pressure that the current US administration is placing on Syria to keeping it’s nose out of Lebanon’s fucking business, really makes me admire the […]
