People sometimes approach me with the question why I particularly like the city of San Francisco. Well, if a city has the following quality, I’d rate it as special and thus totally worth living there: A city that beautiful in the early morning hours that it would make you get up and take a morning walk. Four pictures pbo31 (flickr user) that proof the above stated thesis…

Fettes Brot performed in Vienna’s U4 · gallery

Surprise, Surprise. FM4 hosted just another FM4 Überraschungskonzert (surprise concert) in Vienna’s U4 discotheque. Fettes Brot was on the agenda for yesterday’s show and, man, that quite a majestic show. They have just finished their Strom und Drang tour and played in Linz on Wednesday (14 May), however, FM4 got them to play in Vienna to give an encore. FM4 raffled away tickets and among the winners - guess who won something valuable for his first time in his life? - was Philipp. I took Miki and Jassy (who was not on the guest list unlike Miki and me) got in anyway with using her certain “willingness” to do anything to see Fettes Brot live. Kidding. Continue reading

This time wouldn’t have been the last time.

Urban citizens claim that cities have a certain flow. A flow of arts, spirit and even fashion. In the case depicted above us (my liebe Readers should know this city by now. San Francisco), I can most definitely confirm that there is a compelling vibe, an atmosphere caught in-between Victorian houses, tall skyscraper or in-between the peninsula and Alcatraz. Wheter I landed or left the City, I kind of knew that I will be bording another plane flying me into SFO. My mind tells me, “This time wouldn’t have been the last time.”

“The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.” Wolfgang von Goethe (German Playwright, Poet, Novelist and Dramatist. 1749-1832)

Not too plastered, I can still see some red.

Giving public statements has to be somewhat of a human urge throughout mankind’s history.

Back in Ancient Times Greek and (copycat) Romans delivered rhetorical masterpiece speeches. It’s seems like there is something that fuels a drive that makes us express ourselves whether it is by (cave) paintings, plays or, let’s face it, bumper stickers. Continue reading

Thanks Mom! Happy Mother’s Day! · Froggy Pond Road

Thank you mommy dearest.

It’s time to face the truth… Are you abusing lol? You are most likely to be one of the internet generation LOL Abusers according to a statistic by the National Acronym Monitoring Board of Linguistic Anomalies. Research could reveal a devastating misusage of lol since people actually don’t laugh out loud whenever they add lol in a chat message, text message on their cellphone or even worse in everyday conversations in real life. Caution: “False Lolling” [...] is a class G felony punishable by permanent IP banning and in rare cases death by pawnage.”, it says on nomorelol.com

Remedy LOI: Laughing on the inside.

False usage of the abbreviation lol (laughing out loud) is committed by so called lol addicts whose remedy should be found in loi, as in laughing on the inside. LMAO (laughing my ass off) and ROFL (rolling of the floor laughing) are most likely to be replaced with an alternative as well. Since how often do you roll over your floor.
