Eine verirrte Kugel ist eine Kugel, die, nachdem sie von einer Waffe abgefeuert wurde, ein unabsichtliches Ziel trifft. Ich versuche mein Leben ungefähr so zu leben, allerdings nicht genauso blutig oder dramatisch wie die Angabe oben. Gedanke treffen mich wie verirrte Kugeln. Mal ducke ich mich weg, mal lasse ich mich treffen. Ich war immer... Continue Reading →
Someday we’ll look back on this and it will all seem funny
Five weeks has passed since the operation on my shoulder and I'm happy to report that, the last couple of days, there's been a dramatic improvement. The biggest change is that I'm now able to sleep in my bed for more than three hours in a row. It's indeed a relief to "move out" of... Continue Reading →
There Ain’t No Sin To Be Glad You Are Alive
A little more than a week has passed since my shoulder procedure and I'm slowly recovering - a bit slower than I had expected to be honest. To be forced to deviate from the original plan, which was to stay home from work for one week, and extend the sick leave was a hard decision... Continue Reading →

Some people may argue that I have an issue with getting older and perhaps that's true, although I've always thought that age is just a number and what really matters is how old you feel not what it says on a paper. My... Continue Reading →
Badlands
One of the most excellent show openers is Badlands, the leadoff track on Bruce Springsteen's fourth studio album Darkness on the Edge of Town (ranked as the second best Bruce Springsteen song ever by the Rolling Stone magazine). The song is characterised by Max Weinberg's dynamic drumming of the famous beat, a one-two-three-four-five-six-(double time) one-two-three... Continue Reading →
Stray Bullet
A Stray Bullet is a bullet that, after being fired from a gun, hits an unintended target; a bullet that hits you when the attacker was not aiming at you at all. Life is a lot like that for me at the moment. Not very often as bloody or dramatic as the definition above implies,... Continue Reading →
