2015 - Let's get this baby started!

Hello everybody!
Hello nobody!
Hi you!

Ok, you see it's strange to start over again, but I'll get used to it.
This blog is something I've been thinking about for quite some time now, because I started one in 2011, did it for about nine months and then it died peacefully.
Writing is important to me, though and that's why I want to start over again. This is for myself and for my familiy and friends who want to be part of my life. If you comment, you'll be part of my life, too, so please do!

My December: Thailand!

Yay,  I finally finished my video on my trip to Thailand with my sister! It was quite an experience. I had not done a backpacker trip like that before and it was to serve me as one of those trips where you step out of your comfort zone. As I don't want to bore you with many details, I will show you the video instead: Funny how in the end, I am left with only the good memories. Right after the trip, I dreaded the moment when people would ask me: "So? How was it???" Because honestly, it was not as cool as I had imagined from what people had told me. It was colorful and people were friendly, that part is true. But the backpacking? Well, I'm not a backpacker. I know that now. I don't like to pack and unpack my things every other day. My mood shifts drastically with every hour of transport I have to undergo in order to reach the next place. Travelling with my sister was a new experience. Although we had lived together in a shared flat as adults in the past...

Tagebuch eines Leidenden

Habe gestern mit dem Sitzen auf einem ergonomischen Sitzhocker angefangen. Musste nach dem halben Tag erst einmal meine Tennisballtherapie machen, damit die Schmerzen im unteren Kreuz nachließen. Heute schmerzen mir die Schienbeine, sie sind es nicht gewohnt, das auf ihnen Druck lastet, die armen. Der Rücken ist heute etwas besser. Merke, dass ich mehr Sauerstoff einatme als ich das sonst tat. Mein Bauch hängt raus und lässt mich Abnehmpläne schmieden. Soweit, so enttäuschend.

We are idiots.

Recently, I finished reading the novel  El Contrato by Lars Kepler  and I acutally had to cry where it states as the last paragraph of the epilogue: Diariamente se fabrican treinta y nueve millones de balas destinadas a diferentes armas de fuego. Contando a la baja, las cifras militares de todo el planeta giran en torno a los mil doscientos veintiséis billones de dólares anuales. A pesar de que se fabrican sin cesar cantidades ingentes de material bélico, sigue resultando imposible satisfacer la demanda. Los nueve mayores exportadores de armas convencionales del mundo son: Estados Unidos, Rusia, Alemania, Francia, Gran Bretaña, Países Bajos, Italia, Suecia y China. A daily production of 39,000,000 bullets for various fire arms. $1226000000000 per year are spent globally in military. That's $3358904110 a day. Usually, we write numbers this big in short form, because we cannot grasp the concept of such an amount of money. Because this number is freakishly high, I'll try to br...
