CURRENT MISSION

Think big!

ABOUT ME

I'm really open minded - not like the others! ;-)

Learning and searching for insight is my passion. But I do this with a ironic - sometimes sarcastic - sense of humor. I love e.g. the Jon Stewart show. And I "worship" the Simpsons.

PHILOSOPHY

"Overcome yourself and the world is overcome!" I hope it is tranlated correctly?

Change things you can change, bear thing you have to bear, and recognize which things belong to wich category.

I dreamed - and life was a pleasure. A awakened an Life was full of duty. I lived - and duty was full of pleasure.

Music, Movies, and Books

Cinema ist about pictures! Many "intellectuals" don't consider this enough!

Books are about language, not about plot! Many "intellectuals" don't consider this enough, either!

Music is about rythm and melody, it is not some kind of para-religion. So I'am not a believer in a Band or something like that.

I really don't like Musicans, Writers, Editors trying to teach me in politics. As a matter of facts: I usually know much more of this stuff than the people mentioned above...

L.A. Crash, KissKiss BangBang, Magnolia, Thin Red Line,
Jarhead, Slumdog Millionaire, Gran Torino

Books: Zauberberg, Die Entdeckung des Himmels, Die Vermessung der Welt, Die Korrekturen/The Corrections, Elementarreilchen, 39,90, Morgen in der Schlacht denk an mich
