Star Wars my ass.
I found a place in Berlin. Great flat, seemingly fun people, the location is awesome, close to a whole bunch of my friends and in a very cool area.
I’m moving to Berlin in a couple of weeks, it feels so good to be getting out of Hamburg. I love the city, but […]

Not for everyone (part 2)

Again, I have been thinking of the concept of democracy. We’ve got it all wrong.
Democracy shouldn’t mean rule of the majority. The majority is stupid. The majority doesn’t know what it wants. The majority can easily be swayed by propaganda, looks, and oratorical skills. The majority is the reason why most politicians are crooked, slimy […]

Point, drink and shoot

I’m seeing someone new. It’s innocent, but fun. A couple of nights ago, we went out, got hammered, and walked around town taking photographs… I SO enjoyed myself.
Drunken photography is unlike anything else you might have experienced, your senses are dimmed and hightened simultaneously when you’re drunk… you see things that you wouldn’t see otherwise, […]

I’ve never been in a serious relationship. I’ve never been in a semi-serious relationship. I have, for a while now, thought that I absolutely need a long-term relationship, none of the 2-4 week things that I’m always having…
You see, it’s not like I start dating someone with a plan on my mind, it’s just that […]

Change

Twice in the past couple of weeks, interesting conversations have revolved around the concept of ’survival of the fittest’ and it’s application to society and not just nature… Nietzsche’s ideas were thrown around, some agreeing, others disagreeing, others still (moi!) seeing it as logical but inhumane (and hence, probably unachievable) to consider weeding out the […]

Death, revisited…

I’m back! For real… It’s been so difficult… I want to post, I want to stay away…
Death has been on my mind a lot these days… It’s THE question that no one has an answer to, yet we must all one day face… Here’s one of the nicer possibilities… imagine that we have some sort […]

Back

I’m back in Hamburg. Arrived yesterday.
Being among my friends again, partying every night, lazing around on the beach, eating good food, seeing my family… It all helped put things into perspective. Life is too fucking short (a cliche, but very true). I worry about things I shouldn’t worry about. I’m blessed. Billions of people deal […]
