Today I had to go to the city for a meeting concerning a job...which i got by the way! Yay yay...

I was going through the Müller store and looked at the 3 for 4 Cd offers and I was stunned

I got:

David Bowie - Changes
Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris - All The Roadrunning
Sigur Ros - Takk...
Ray Charles - Genius Loves Company


Thank you for the good choices Mr. Müller :-)

I always figured I never ever will forgive Orlando Bloom for being such a geeky little bitch in Pirates of the Caribbean but as it turns out this guy can really act.

I mean really really act in such a wonderful moving way that would impress almost anyone. I am talking about a movie I have seen sometime ago but recently rediscovered and watched over and over so to speak I fell in love with the motion picture.

Kirsten Dunst is amazingly sweet and brilliant in her performance as always. Bloom and Dunst work so wonderful together and just seem to fit. Susan Surandon is amazing as she has always been and also funnier than I have ever seen her. It also does help the picture itself and its music that the thing is directed and produced by Cameron Crow. He seems to have put countless subliminal meanings into the movie.

I guess what I am trying to tell anyone who reads this...if you have ever lost someone you love or are afraid of it happening, go see Elizabethtown and I promise that you may not feel better after having watched the movie but you will see that there is always light, love and life even in your darkest hour...

(Instantly ordered "Good News For People Who Love Bad News" by Modest Mouse)

If there is justice in every persons life then why the hell was I left out?

No naww and no again this will not be another complaining and rambling on about how miserable life is. I am just gonna throw the facts in who ever reads this face:

1. If people stop smoking they get fat - it is just the way your body works
2. There are people that smoke and eat like fucking pigs and they do not get any fat
3. There are people in the world that never smoked a single cigarette and get lung cancer
4. There are people that do not eat and get fat and live an unhappy life.
5. If you work your ass of your whole life what do you do it for - just to die when ya get old
6. You get amnesia and your whole life does not matter because you can not recall it
7. You can get old and your brain works fine but your body does not anymore
8. Many humans in one place never act normal, they will always fuck up.
9. No one cares anymore about values, the whole world just wants to get laid
10. I do not see any future for me or the human race as one...

These 10 points show me personally that there is no justice in life, no matter what anyone else says those are my reasons why life is a fucking survival test and you take that test just to find out that you can only fail it...

I ordered an Adam Sanlder CD like 4-6 months ago and I was very pissed after about a month and I still did not have it in my hands.

After 3 months i gave up on it and completely forgot until today I checked my mail and found a tiny package...ripped it open and the wonderful Adam Sandler I ordered ages ago popped out...

Yay, I got the 1997 What's Your Name record by Adam Sandler...finally but damn yo I am in a real hip hop kinda phase right now, what to do homies? *wuhahahaha*

So last night I was watching Next Friday and Friday After Next again with a friend and when
I got up this morning I was strictly listening to one of my secret musical passions - gangsta
shit music, in this case my favourite Ice Cube.

So i was still missing out on 3 Cube records that strangely can not be ordered normally at the
record store so after last night I was like well maybe they got em on amazon and they did but
the awesome stuff is that on marketplace a dude was selling each of the records I wanted for a
reasonable 3,33€. With postage that makes up bout 13 bucks for 3 records...good deal you are
thinking. Same thing i was thinking and so i ordered them right away.

So if you know me, if you spend time with me do not wonder why I am talking more gangsta style
latley...its all the cheap Cube records fault. Damn you Ice Cube!!!

*I preodered mine today...can't wait can't waitcan't waitcan't waitcan't waitcan't waitcan't wait*

So the main thing is I saw Ryan live, not for long but still I finally saw him for the first time which made something explode in my head going "The next time I'll follow that dude round Europe no matter what!" but first a short recap of how this "first time" went down.

After not being sure how and if I had money to go I was kind of ok I am not going until Michi (thx by the way for making me go) said come on this is your favourite artist since like ever you gotta see him live. And I was like hell yeah let's do that.

So we instantly packed our bags and headed towards Munich at like 3 in the afternoon. So Munich is a 4 hour drive normally but due to the fact that some kind of fucking bride was nearly breaking down and traffic was stopped we found ourselves stuck on the highway for hours. Finally we got a way towards Munich, exploring parts of Austria that we normally would not have seen which can be seen as a bad or good thing. Concerning yesterday it was more bad than good cuz we could not make it in time.

As we finally made it to Munich, the city of the white sausage we found ourselves yet again confronted with a challenge. This time the concert venue was no to be found by us Austrians on expedition in Germany. After asking numberous people that all seemed to more or less have a plan where the "Muffathalle" was but then on the other side did not really could nail any detailed explaination on where to go we finally mad it and the good thing was we even got to see some Ryan Adams live. Which was for me something that kept me going in my head, thinkingwise, I mean. I just can not believe that we actually mad it. That could also be the result of me being over tiered from a 5 hour + drive, i guess.

So the show was in my eyes amazing, at least the stuff we saw was like that. No encore but whatever...I saw Ryan perform live.

Today, the day after I kinda feel like shit which could be either due to the fact that I drove all the night back or because I cought a small cold from the open car window.

It does no matter though cuz I saw Ryan Adams perform!

So i was having this really huge big Mark Kozelek/Red House Painters/Sun Kill Moon phase that i was going through...and at some point i thought yay it is over.

I mean you never listen just to one artist all the time that is right but there are phases were one artist is just the big thing and all your other favourites kind of go unnoticed for sometime.

Well this time i thought that big Mark Kozelek phase is by but it is not. I mean not that i am miserable or so but i just enjoy these detailed musical combinations of happiness and suffering so much at the moment and i can not even explain why because as i said i am not miserable or sad, well everyone shoul have a surtain level of being sad so that they can appreciate the joyful things in life more while always having the worse times in your head. Not always thinking bout them but just keeping in mind that you could have it so much worse.

As for the phase i am having right now, i gotta say i do not feel that it effects my everyday life a lot but ppl keep telling me that i am more in a sad mood when i listen to Kozelek/RHP/Sun Kill Moon constantly, which i do not believe or should i believe it? I am really not sure anymore if i am really sad on a constant basis or if other ppl just wanna see me like that.
