BMW + BP = Pimp my profit!

2006-05-03T16:50:00.000-07:00

BMW ist about to make the best profitable year they ever had.
Not only that the vendors of the ionsane close-up driven, rear mirror shocking appearance vehicles increased the sales of their cars by 14% in comparison to the first three months of last year....
They also were able to maximize the profits out of these sales by 58%...

What?

14% more sales = 58% more profit?

One thing is for shure...

These cars are definately too expensive...
Otherwise the profit would not be that high...

...and why do they currently negotiate about the wages of their workers being decreased.
This behavior simply is mean!

Same is with petrol: The barrel price rises = the fillling station price rises too.
The filling station still sells mineral oil products that were made from the cheaper oil.
So this is profit again...
The barrel price falls, the price falls only slightly and at least two or three days later than the barrel price decrease...
See the rise in the Levis when I see this price rise...

British Petrol (That is named ARAL in Germany now..) made about 700 Million EUR in profits last year alone in Germany...
The news said, that the profit was mainly generated by the higher petrol prices...

Sometimes I just feel so d*** buttf***ed by these global industries and can't do nothing about it...
Has anybody a clue how to stop this?

Rolling stoned

2006-02-27T00:14:00.000-08:00

I may be lynched for what I am going to say in the following, but I have to.
Any "Rolling Stones" fan may forgive me and remember:
Taste is not a subject to have discussions about...

Ok, there was a concert in Rio...
Ok, there were 1 Million specatators

But... I mean...what for?

I am still wondering how 4 rest-home fugitives knowing 3 or 4 chords on the guitar, managed to gather so many people...

When I was young (Yes! I am THAT old...) "Brown Sugar" was already a hit.
Well I sometimes tried to listen to their stuff.. but I mean... it is simple as shit and by the way Mick Jagger isn't really able to sing...
He just blokes into the mike hoping that the guitars will oversound his unmatching tones...

And then the concert a few years ago... On their last tour the sequencer software had a hangup and right in the middle of a song the tempo got out of control.
Those "Pro-"musicians weren't playing at all!
A computer made the music and they just jumped around on stage...

An then you pay a 100 bucks for a ticket... Jeeze!

For me, the Rolling Stones are the best proof of how to deceive the music listeners.
The music industry silently keeps laughing...
And the Stones too...

If you want to burn something...burn the newspaper

2006-02-09T02:32:00.000-08:00

Where are we going to?

We hear about islamic protestants all over the world now...
Let us remember, how everything started: A small newspaper in Denmark published some cartoons, that tried to satirical explain the stupidity of sucide bombing by islamic terrorists...

Now, we seem to have an international conflict.
A clash of cultures between the western and the islamic world.

Maybe I missed something, but, hello...?...What is this all about?

How come, that islamic influenced societies seem so peculiar of what had happened?
I have my own view of that and I want to share it here.

First I want to state, that I am not intending to insult or prejudice anybody.
Just in case I get misunderstood.

1.) Many of these people haven't seen the cartoons ever (I haven't seen them too), but they go to the streets and burn Danish flags, becuase of feeling insulted. Is it just, that they cannot cope with western humour? In islamic countries, cartoons are mainly used to insult people or for political influence to the masses. From that point of view the cartoons are obviously misunderstood. In western civilisations cartoons are used for humour, satire or entertainment. Nothing more or less...

2.) The leaders of these societies are afraid of someting, that seems to have become normal in other social systems: The free choice of cultural identity. This fear has a system in it and presents a mean purpose: Keep your people stupid and poor, than it is easy to influence it and the persistance of your reign will be guaranteed. This was always what propaganda was all about. The rulers and mullahs want to cast into concrete, what they have acieved in using the religious rules to suppress their people:

a.) Blind obedience to secular and spiritual leaders
b.) Violation of human rights against women and children
c.) Legitimation of political structures, that do not allow "normal" citicens to take active influence in political processes or decisions.
d.) Extensive use and love of weapons and the means of violence.

3.) Why does a religion (or the God of it or its prophet or who ever...) need to be defensed by their beleivers? If they have an almighty God, let him do the job. (sorry to say it just so plain).
The violent mission techniques in the beginning of the islamic religion is no excuse for recommending these means today. Why don't you just relax and let the better win? We will see who is right in the end anyway...

4.) Why are islamic societies expect western countries to respect their religious feelings?
Just try to become a christian in an islamic country like Pakistan, Afghanistan etc...
You will get HELL form your family, the society around you, and the fanatics. You will be mobbed, hijacked, tortured, murdered. This is common social conscent to give hell to anybody who freely decides to change his religious aims.
With this poor image of tolerance in mind... How come, that there is the claim to totally change the habits of our societies? Cartoons always have been a tool of humour who did them. And all who had the honour to be the aim of the humour needed to cope with that. Even the leaders of christianity had to face that and it took the christian religion (for example) approx. 2000 years to start accepting these facts. In middle age the oppoents were tortured and burned to.

5.) It is a shame, to where the islamic religion has come. In its best times it was known for scientific interest and tolerance (apart from times, when it was violently spread). Why isn't this possible today? (see point 2 for that)

6.) What are we westerns do with these words form the iranian Prime minister about the "fairy tale of the holocaust". Where is the collective protest from the western people? Do we burn the Iranian embassy now? The lack of protest or publically taking distance in islamic countries to such statements makes me beleive, that we are already at the edge of our cultures clashing again... This is a pain for me.

7.) Why should western countries change their habits of humour or social behavior, just because some islamic people living in their countries. Why is it to so expected to silently accept the oriental social systems. We do not harrass or torture islamic beleivers, just because their belief is different. If you live here and are convinced of your islamic or other religion: Show respect to one of our most important cultural achievements that we have in the western world: Tolerance. This grew in at least 2000 years and is not to be negotiated about (Although it sometimes seems to be a small weak plat growing there...) In fact: If you move here to make your living, get prepared, that once your second generation comes to get contact with our values, they may want to decide themselves wich values they want to respect in their lives. If you think you can avoid that: Forget it! Young people always are open and want to go different ways.

I do not want to be misunderstood: I do not agree with any of the attemps the US government shows with the interference it takes in the oriental world. Personally; I think, that the war in Irak had made this all worse. But isn't that ridiculous? We live in the 21st century and loooks like the next wars fought, will possibly be because of religious reasons (if not for water or oil).

This is just so sad...sad...sad...

What disturbs me the most, is that mankind does not seem to learn anything from history.

Personally, I must say, I like the idea of a final court case that is being told of in the christian religion. Then, I believe, all these guys who f***ed this world up, will get their share in that space, what they tried to transform the world to because of their hunger for power and money.
But even those who feel secure to get their award, because of feeling like lifetime members in the christian club may end up being surprised with what they get...We'll see...

So, folks... if you want to burn something... fly to Denmark, buy this newspaper (that keeps tourism, air transport and publishers happy), Read it...smile or be angry and burn...the paper. Take it to light your fire with and warm your home. Then it has a "real" purpose. Nothing is less important, than the newspaper from yesterday. So is your anger and rage. This is nothing to anger about, hurt anybody, destroy assets or even die for. Just imagine the words on your tombstone: "Died for a cartoon..."

C'mon islamic countries! Just move on and stop bothering about such shit.

And you westerns...stay respectful, but have no fear...

Scratch free and shiny future perspectives

2006-02-01T00:46:00.000-08:00

I regularly get a German weekly Magazine called "DER SPIEGEL".
I like this newspaper (a few articles are even English written) because of its courage to investigate on uncomfortable themes.

But one thing always annoys me: Their ads.

Not seldomly right next to some article about poverty and distress here comes the advertisment for a massive platimum watch that has a worth representing the amount of money 10 children would need to exist et least one year in a third world country...

Or McDonalds' ads. Eaaaaagh! Young "normalos" pose for the fast food industry, pretending, that "now" they are shure to eat a good healthy non fattening meal with McDonalds...
Good grief! Who believes this shit!

But the ad that annoyed me most was in the yesterday paper...

See the German version of the ad here.

It says: "What enthuses families: A life without scratches"

Then the ad focuses on the fact, that a scratch in the wooden floor of a families home could cause a lot of trouble and with the chemicals of ALTANA, this "danger" can be reduced.

Last sentence in this ad: "Think on!"

Yeah, guys and girls... that's what I say to this crap! Think on!

What the f***...?

This ad shows three things:

1.) The inventors of this ad are just so far away from reality in their glittering advertising world, that they have lost the sensitivity for the ad readers.

These ad-world polluters forget, that there are millions of children who even have no wood for keeping their homes warm with a fire. Neither will they ever have have a wooden floor in it, that may not get scratches. As long as there are children living on the streets, what do we need these chemicals for?

2.) If this is, what matters in family life (for chrissake!...), where have we come to...?

"Happy family life!", I'd say...

If parents focus on preserving their property more than investing into the creativity and phantasy of their children, then good night! One cann see by the use of this picture, that only better situated family parents are adressed by this ad. We currently have 11% (more than 5 Million) unemployed people in Germany who feel insulted by luxury ads like this...

And then this little conciously floor scratching brat: If you as a parent can be the pig-boss in your company or the mobber at work, but don't have the guts to tell your boy to behave...well what then...? Teach your children some real values, respect, love, tenderness...They will be different. If you spoil them with TV, Fast Food, luxury electronics and Video Games...stop wondering about their bad behavior, brutality and self-centered attitude...

3.) Another company needs a desperate reason to exist. Instead of investing some of their profits into the lives and societies of the 3rd world (for example...), they spend millions of dollars to invent "scratch protection" against German spoiled car playing brats... Holy moly...!

A true example of misunderstood company leading. The chmical waste, energy loss and environmental waste of this company is assumed to be very high in comparison to normal average houshold. Do we really need this for "scratch protected floors?"

And then...such big companies only advertise to get more stock holders, that reward messages of proposed dismissal of staff whith rising share prices...

Figleave - advertising I call this: Trying to make a good impression, but not really achieving it.

What a world... It really gets strange and stranger...

How to become a cult leader

2006-01-20T02:31:00.000-08:00

Cult leaders in New Zealand - still going on...

Since concha inspired me in one of her comments to get more information about my membership in a cult, I now want to give the helpful advice how to become a cult leader in a few simple steps (May be helpful to one or the other in case you want to found a cult...it is so easy!)...

Being a former member of a christian cult (that still exists in New Zealand) I know the mechanisms of these systems too well. It took me ten years of my life...

Step 1.) If you want to found a cult, that is christianity related, start your activities in the local church. There you have to work as leader in a bible school class or as secretary. It is not important, what you do. It is the nearness to the leaders, that matters. There you can learn how leadership works. And how "human" material (the ordinary people) are to be handled.

Step 2.) Develop your own exegesis for crucial lifetasks and make them public.
You will find people, who are desperate enough to believe you...
Avoid them to be herard from people with responsabilities in the church...

Step 3.) Criticize the church and its leaders in front of those who sympathise with your ideas and your picture of the world. Wake up the hunger for more authentic christian life. Let everybody feel as a loser in its current life environment.

Step 4.) Start private meetings outside the church context with the people that sympathise with your teaching.

Step 5.) Start your own private church services apart form the normal church times (Saturday evenings or Sunday afternoons preferred)

Step 6.) Start laying pressure on the concsience of your private audience by preaching high moral standards and admonish to be selfless.

Step 7 - most imoportant!) Have personal audiences with each person in the circle of influancable people. Be their confessor. Let them tell you their "sins"(or what they think is their sin) to find out, where their weak point is in order to be successful to engage Step 8.). Show extreme friendliness, patience and mildness during these audiences. This gains trust to you in ther souls...

Step 8.) When having found the weak point (this is easy with Christians or others: Pride, Money, Alcohol, Sex, Fear or other addictions are the most obvious), you start the manipulation process: Tell them, that they are very special in the eyes of God and that this God directly lead them to you to get rid of their bad habits. And tell them that they have to get rid of them, because if not, the loving God that sent them to you will develop extreme wrath against you. Tell them, that they have especially been chosen to be with you.

Step 9.) Now it is time to found you own congregaton. Not officially. Not in public. You just do it in silence, so nobody from "outside" will notice. It is founded in a collective congegational decision with all of your "sermon addicts". You decide together, not to attend the regular church services anymore, but to solemnly attend your own private church meetings...

Step 10.) Found a flat-sharng community with all the people who want more closeness to you.
You already reached the point where some of your gathering needs more "treatment" to learn to live "right". Ideally it should be in a house quite away from the next township to achive maximum distance to the "normal city life".

Step 11.) Start alienise the members of your group to their own relatives.
Select the relatives into two groups:

- The community supporters = Relatives, that do not comment negative to the group live and the membership to it. Invite them to see, how the group life works (on display - not in the inside)

- The community objectors = Relatives who have negative comments on the development of the group. You influence the group members to handle those relatives with extreme care and force them to break up with them in order to "keep your sheep in the flock". You tell a different story: You find a biblical explanation for it. You say: "Jesus did also not regard his relatives..." and find enough biblical evidence for that...

Step 11.) In order to finance the community life you urge everybody from the group, that is still working in the "outside world", to put his share into a "common money pot". Increase the pressure up to the point that every money earned of community inhabitants lands in the pot.

Step 12.) Put up a time (and money) consuming renovation project of a new domicil for the group in order keep everybody extremely busy. Working hard stops the people from thinking. This is what you achieve. Permanently check the loyality of your members by increasing the moral pressure on them. Teach them, that being together as a group is the most important thing at all. It is God's law. If you are disobedient to this law, it is God's wrath that waits for you.
Try to phish more members to the group and go through Step 2 - 11 with them.

Step 12a.) Find out abvout "loose" group members who tend to break under the pressure of your teaching. Interrogate them in front of all the group members to their loyality. Find reasons to "cast them out" or "give them a chance to repent". You must "winnow the chaff from the wheat grains". Do this regardless of marriages, kids, friendships. Take the risk of devorce in case of a cast out. It is only marriage... noting worth of something in your eyes... The group is the most important thing in the world...

Step 12b). Severely interfere within the educatuion of the kids. Especially when you are a woman, make other mothers feel bad, when they commit "mistakes" (You define what that is!) in the raise of their children. (With this action you are able to break the self esteem of every mother...)
Visualize physical punishment for kids as the only thing that will really work. If parents are too shy to do it as hard as you propose, show them how to do it and slam (or let it be done by your husband) other peoples kids in front of their parents to break the personality of the children...

Step1 13.) Drain all money assets of the group members into your renovation project. This way nobody has any financial security anymore. With progress in the alienation process of relatives, your Flock has no private existence chances anymore. They are glued together in their destiny

Step 14.) Try to or practically arrange marriages within the congregation. Even between those who lost their spuoses because you cast them out. They will be so desperate for a new love because of the loss and the pain they went through. Tell the new couples, that you had a direct hint from God to their relationship. Treat cast out spouses as the never existed and talk badly about them even in front of their children to avoid any contact to "catouts" and interns...

Step 14a) Alienate the spuoses of the marriages within the group. Tell them, that if the other spouse says something, that may lead into seperation from the group, they should make it public. If that happens humilate and intimidate those "candidates" in "public" with all group members. Always have a result at the end of such a meeting. Either cast the delinquent out our allow him or her to "repent". Enforce repentance by isolating the person from his spouse and kids and live seperate from all others only working for lowest level tasks. (He is suposed to feel like scum!). Then, after 1 or 2 weeks let him back in, not without taking the promise to behave better.

Now...from here on it is special story of the "Homeward Bound Group" in New Zealand, that still exists. The cult that I was a member of...

Step 14b) If you are female, cast out you husband and try a younger one from the group. Find all possible explainations, why this was God's way with you.

Step 15.) Convince the group to, move to another country (e.g. form Germany to New Zealand) that promises to be a brighter future for the (already arrived) children in the group.
The true reason for that is to get away from the state surveillance, because the trouble you cause can not be overseen anymore. Especially compensation for lost assets from former members could cause a problem...so you better leave...

Step 16.) Keep the whole group busy preparing and working hard for the migration process (I had up to 18 hour days...). Build up the picture, that life in the new country will be fine and thet the group has optimal chances, because you will found own businesses there.

Step 17.) Mirgrate to the foreign country...pull out all roots of you group members in the "old" country. Put them in a situation of high stress and disorientation by putting up even higher work levels in the "new" country. Constantly practice Step 12 - 14 in order to keep the flock together. Even send away some group members to achieve maximum fear in the new country.
By this action you will have maximum power over the group. No one dares to think even of objecting to your ideas.

Step 18.) Found businesses to keep your group members employed in your company. Give them a little pocket money (US$ 15/month) and no other access to money sources. Parallelly buy gimmicks for the grouop members, so the won't feel patronized (cars, food etc...). Only give few people the authorisation to shop or do money transactions. Only use "stable" people to have contact to the outside world. Fool the inland revenue (an your employees), because you do not pay real wages but extract the maximum work force out of them...

Step 19.) Currently invent private projects aside of the business work to "keep'em working". Never be happy with the quality of the work. Criticize as hard as you can. Everybody must know, that they have to increase their efforts to meet the "goals of the Lord", which in fact is every new project you want them to do.

Step 20.) Send away more members of the group to increase fear. Do not consider, that they are now facing poverty or desperation (e.g. to be seperated from family and spouse). It is necessary for the group. Explain the reasons for the exclusion by extensive letters (I got a 178 page letter once) and always tell the "ex-pats" that they may come back at any time. If possible, keep spouses our children as hostages to enforce this claim.

Step 21.) Found a trust, so nobody within the group is entitled to claim any asset from the group, when leaving. Make all companies you own part of this trust. Make shure you are solemnly sharehoder of all companies, founded within your business efforts.

Step 22.) Alienate the children from the parents within the group. Put them in a seperated house and let a person of your trust raise them in your teachings. Do not allow the parents of those kids object to that. Send away any mother that does (only for a short time). Explain this action thoroughly to the children, so that they may gain the "right" opinion about their parents/mother (and loose the last bit of trust in them). Make yourself as only person of trust to them. You are the prophet. You are the leader. God himself is speaking to and through you. Use this position to blackmail the children by threatening, that you, their only person of love and trus, will be taken away by God if they will not stay within the group but prefer to live with a cast out parent (e.g.)...
You are the only one to be trusted. Use the law situation of the new country to enforce the children to wish to live seperated from their parents. Especialy when they found new spouses and left the group.

Step 22.) In case of being successful in business judge this to be God's blessing for keeping the group running. Spoil the alienated children with extensive assets and put up the vision of poverty and emotional deficits, if they ever leave the cult group. Bind them emotionaly to the cult. Treat psychotic appearances with members of the cult as minor incidents. Keep everybody in the group strictly obedient to your teachings.

Just obey these rules and you will be a successful cult leader, destroying other peoples lives in order to achieve the maximum payout at the end of the days...
Take at least 20 years time for the whole development process. ANd never dare to regret of whatever you have done...Remember: You are the prophet...!

Any other suggestions to become a succassful cult leader are welcome....

Free the music from its sellers!

2006-01-13T15:36:00.000-08:00

I am a musician.
Not a pro though, but I do "ma' own thing" since 1996 now... (see my links...)

There are a few trends and changes to that, what was called popular music, that make me worry about it since a few years...

1.) I attended a small dance club last night. It is in central Wuerzburg and has room for not more than 100 people. It was packed. I was amazed to see, that they played the soul and funk music of the 60's to 70's. The place was crowded with young students and the DJ was so young, he could have been my son in age, but he was darn good in what he was doing. When listening to the music I could observe two things:

a.) The currently known HipHop beatz have their roots in the soul music of the 60's
I heard music, that seemed to be contemporary music only with a little less qualitiy and a litte difference in style...

b.) The music of that time was more authentic. It was an identification device. It had messages.
Today it is just tits, ass, money and drugs and the reflection on the lifestyle of the main characters in the music industry trying to ged rid of their boredom...
So, I miss the authenticity of the music, that it had, when it came out of its roots.
Today German spoiled young teens can quote every song of 2Pac and 50cent. But what do they know about the depths of the existance rappers like them had when they channeled their distress into rhymes and music...

I miss the pure club atmo in the music...wich I had last night: A band of 5 played funk and soul music from the "old days", inflaming a bunch of young and old folks just shaking their asses off in mindless dancing...thas was simply great!

2.) Money.

We live in a world, that judges everything economically:

"How much will that cost?"

"How much will that bring in?"

Some few thgings I do not understand:

Why are so few people in the music industry earning the majority of the money, that is spend
for music.

Why do, especially rappers, celebrate an exorbitant lifestyle when having had a history, that brought them out of social distressive life situations. Why do multi millionaires keep all of their assets to themselves? I mean if you own 200 million $ or more, why not bringing some of it to the social problem zones? How many other talents would be able to perform or even better: Get education and a good job?

Why do rights management companies (such as GEMA, RIAA etc...) organize their structures this way, that the advantages in asset collecting seem to solemnly go to the few people, that are the 'big guys' in earning money? It is a protective market an mainly to the benefits of the ones that already have enough...

Comercially produced music lacks of a very important thing: The roots.
Many of those test-tube artists never seem to have perfomed in those tiny little clubs. they come out of the marketing concepts of professional music sellers. But is this, what we want to listen to? This is, why the file sharing market was so strong and why concepts like iTunes seem to succeed. It is the possibility of selection. When I buy a CD a mainly have the problem that I have to pay a lot of money for two or three songs, that I like in special. All the rest on a CD normally is just crap.

This is why I rather pay a $ for downloading a song than paying even more for a whole CD, that I partially like. Not paying and filesharing is no alternative for me...

Musicians, who live from making music, need to earn money too.
hterefore I am prepared to pay for consuming their stuff...

But I miss fairness and more acknowledgement for "unknown" artists.

P.S.: I was lazy lately, I know...Hope to be able to keep up the writing despite less time...

Shitloads of Truckers deliver truckloads of shit...

2006-01-12T00:24:00.000-08:00

Ok, ok... I understand the necessity of delivering the goods of daily life and the economy in all corners of my country, but allow me a little thought about the distributors...

YES! It's you, truckers, I'm talking about...(And your bloodsucking employers)!

All decent, law obeying, obliging truckdrivers: Just stop reading.

I will have to have my speak about these truckers (and transporting company owners), that currently ignore the fact, that there seem to be other people with their vehicles on the road.

So...here are some things you should finally quit:

Motorway rules:

1.) Do not overtake other trucks. Especially not at the beginning of steep hills (which you preferably do...!)!
2.) Set the the indicator lights when you want to chage lanes!
3.) Look into the f***ing mirror to see what's behind. It is there, so use it...!
4.) If there is a traffic jam, do not try to avoid it by blocking the detour routes!
5.) If there is a speed limit, keep it!
6.) When it snows, get the winter gear on the truck or stop!
7.) If you are going transit stay (the f***) on the motorway and do not drive through our town to avoid the road toll.
8.) If you need to stop at the parking lots along the motorway, stop shitting in the shrubs.
9.) If you know, your truck is out of order or has blunt tires, stop and refuse to leave the yard with that shitpile of scrap metal. It is you that is going to be sacked for it and it is a danger to us...
10.) Pay attention on the road when driving and don't ever look at something in the interior of the drivers cabin (I've seen you drifting to left and right on the mororways, like you were drunk...)
11.) Don't even dream of beer or alcohol when sitting behind the weel.
Your Mulemachine turns out to be a weapon of mass destruction, if you can't handle her...
12.) Keep your resting times!
13.) Don't ever try to sleep behind the wheel...(I know you tried to do this at least once...)

Wuerzburg City rules:
1.) If you are going transit stay (the f***) on the motorway and do not drive through our town to avoid the road toll.
2.) Do not ever enter our city at night.
3.) Do not use our city as detour route.
4.) If you are going transit stay (the f***) on the motorway and do not drive through our town to avoid the road toll.
5.) If you are going transit stay (the f***) on the motorway and do not drive through our town to avoid the road toll.
6.) If you are going transit stay (the f***) on the motorway and do not drive through our town to avoid the road toll.
7.) If you are going transit stay (the f***) on the motorway and do not drive through our town to avoid the road toll.

Sorry I needed to say this...

Cat Chaos...

2006-01-10T23:59:00.000-08:00

(This is Freddy on the left an Lilo on the right)

Yesterday our new cats arrived "in the hood"...

These are two small anxious little beings who try to figure out where they have landed now, after all...
My daughter is so excited, that she is trying to gain any sort of attention from them. But the new environment obviously scares them. They moan "meow" around the room sometimes and hide unter Tables or even the cupboard. These periods are interrupted by curoiusly sniffing around, playing and food intake.

My daughter slept in the room where the kitties were supposed to stay at night and she was darn tired this morning, because those little ones have kept her busy through parts of the night and also devastated parts of our living room ...

But when seeing those little anxious cats I was reminded of something I experienced some 13 years ago...

I spent 10 years of my life in a christian cult, where intimidation and manipulation where the means to enforce the weird ideas of the cult leader. The cult now resides in New Zealand and is still active. I managed to leave the cult in a solemn moment of rational brigtness and am one of the few who left the group and had the luck to take my family with me. But when I came back to Germany again, I felt the same as my little kitties do now.

- Anxious about the environment.
- Carefully sniffing around and trying to gain some food.
- Fearful in any kind of relationship and mistrusting to any sort of human being except own family members.

Now, having lived nearly 13 years from this timespot I have gone through serious crisises (is that word written right?) and therapies, but today I can look back and say that leaving that cult was the best thing to do and that starting over from zero again is no bad experience at all (tough beans, though)...

My little kitties, I can understand you so good...
But you may trust us... We love you so much...

P.S.: My wife will have to do a lot of cleaning work today, because of the chaos the little ones (my daughter included) left behind... Thanks for doing so, luv... :-)

UPDATE: When I came home, the whole family spent 6 hours looking for our small "Lilo" who seemed to be dissappeared in the house. At ten o'clock in the morning she managed to sneak out of the living room where she was supposed to stay for a while to get accomodated to our house and family. But she had other plans...She just hid away...
After lifting any carpet, looking in (nearly) every corner in the house (under the beds, in all cabinets, in the washing machine,...etc..), we were able to spot her in an 8 cm cavity unter the frist step of our stairs. She was just sitting there for the past ten hours and didn't do anything. No "meow" no srcatch no nothing. In front of that cavity there was a lot of "storage" that was placed underneath the staircase space which we had to remove before even being able to see her. My wife was the only one who insisted on taking all that "stuff" out of that space in order to find the little fugitive ("This is the last psosible spot where she could be..."). What a relief it was to see this little scared one sitting there.

Strangely, she seeemed to have infected her brother "Freddy" with her fear as soon as she was returned to the living room, where "Freddy" already was sleeping on the sofa, loudly purring, savouring an extending crawl from my daughter. As soon as he had contact with "Lilo" he became stranger to us again. He started hiding and was highly alert which he ceased to be before "Lilo" entered the room...

Oh boy,...what else will we undergo with those little fellas....

(This is the allegory on the state of my nervous condition...)

Africa is crying! Africa is dying!

2006-01-10T00:38:00.000-08:00

This morning I listened to the news in the car stereo:

A reporter just told the story, that there will be a famine to expect in Kenia.
Despite the fact, that there was a record harvest in Kenia this year, the government did not provide the means to distribute the food.

Now, I have to raise my voice for Africa...
Are we really noticing, that this continent is sinking more and more into famine, corruption, crime and misery?

Children are taken as soldiers for some twighlight Armies trying to get rich or letting them kids die for their tryin'! They carelessly ruining the biographies of thousands of children.

Resources are exploited by the western Industrial nations (and since a shorter time now, also form the eastern nations)

AIDS is spreading like mould in a three day old sandwich lying exposed to the summer sun...

Many of the people are just nourished by help organizations, that generate their right of existence (and their profits) by the famines that result from weather and local governments.
They make the people get used to receive aid and food by supplementing the situation for the exploitation of the african people.

Weapons are traded to the continent in order to keep this part of the world instable and ill in society. So called "leaders" of nations use their armies to increase the figueres on their bank accounts until they are couped out of their sinecures to be merrily accomodated in some western or eastern civilations. The follow up and his mates take the position of the former dictator just only to continue sucking the blood out of the country until it is the turn of the next... and so on and so on... A vicious circle!

Our so called "civilistaion" does not show any interest in the African people other than gaining as much profit as possible (exploiting resources and agriculture) or pleasure (tourism or people smuggling for prostitution).

When will Africa be a respected continent with decent responsable leaders, a sound strong economical system and social fairness and stability?

When does the world stand up against violent and corrupt leaders like Mugabe and others of his kind of breed.

I have personal friends from Africa.

They live in my country as hardworking people who try to make a living and raise their families.
They fled form war and poverty...
They have all fiery biographies and partially went through unspeakable misery.
Some just managed to save their bare lives when leaving their homes...
They are constantly bullied by our local authorities to even gein as much profits for our government or just for the low-level satisfaction of some office befouling civil servants...
They constantly dream of returning into their countries to support their nations, but as long as their nations are ruled by these cruel rulers, they will not return...

We are suffering from Africa...

We are hoping for Africa...

Party dumbasses

2006-01-05T13:41:00.000-08:00

Ok, ok, ok....

I am no friend of these "what you should do"-lists but here is mine...

Continuing my post regarding the "party people" I have to do this list...
I like to have fun at the club...but there are a few guys and girls, that really seem to have graduated in ruining other peoples party. That does annoy me and this is, why I do the list...

Answers to the question: How to avoid ruining the party of others...

1.) Boys & girls: If you are standing at the bar and want something to drink... Wait for your turn. Others are thirsty too, and when you show up, don't expect to be the first one served.

2.) Girls: If you have to wear a neckline to the navel, don't be upset when "we" men are ogling you. You made yourself look sharp so bear our looks. If you want us to look away, wear Birkenstocks, wide old pants and show no skin...

3.) Boys & girls: If you are not going to dance...Get the f*** off the dancefloor! You think it is fun out there... ok then, just watch it form the outside and don't stand in the way of those, who want to move their bodies. It is just so impoliote to take the space on the dancefloor like a rock in the sea, without leaving space for those who want to move...

4.) Boys & girls: If you wanna break glass, go home and smash your own windows, but do not throw your glasses or bottles on the floor. Think of all the pretty girls that have only stilettos on or the breakdancers. If they slip or put their hands to the ground they gonna be hurt severely...

5.) Boys: If you wanna clobber yourself with some rivals, go the f***ing somewhere else.
We are here to dance and partty and not for watching or receiving severe violence...
And think of it: Alcochol is no excuse for being a brutal asshole...

6.) Boys and girls: If you want to drink a cocktail, sit at a table or at the bar.
Don't go to the dancefloor and spill that stuff on other peoples clothes...

7.) Girls: If you are not going to dance with me.., .do not look at me as if I were a stupid grandpa who didn't find his way home and laugh about the fact, that I like dancing. I may not be as flexible as Beyoncé and may not be as skilled as Fred Astaire, but I enjoy it, and what do you have to complain about it...? And if you do not get your asses movin' and just stand outside the dancefloor to slander about all the people in the pit, go home and switch on the TV... This is party-zone and everybody is entitled to dance and party like we want it...

8.) Boys & girls: If you like to vomit on the floor, go to the pigstall to do so and do not use the club as your personal rest room. Other people are here and they do not like the odor of Jack Daniels flavored pavement pizza...

9.) Light jockeys: Stop suffocating us with the fog from the steam machines.
When we like to dance, we also like to breathe and steaming the whole room, doesn't make the music sound better...

10.) DJs: If you like to yell at a crowd, go to speakers corner in London, but stop tryin' to get our mood up with drunkly yelling to the music. We want to hear the music, not your badly mixed disturbing voice... GOT IT?

11.) Boys & girls: If you like to migrate, do not use the dancefloor as crossing platform, especially, when everyone is dancin'...It is so annoying when you want to dance and someone just rambles into your back that wants to get to the other end of the room... There is enough space 'round the dancefloor... use these spaces for your move...

12.) DJs: Do the "flow" in you music! If you push us up with some good rythm, do not brake us down with some slow shit, only because its popular... Keep us happy by acknowledging the dancers soul... it is not you, it is us who dance...so select the music, that stay equal in its tempo and character and do not put us "in the mix" of tempi and emotions... that ruins every party...

Ok, then and all in all, treat everyone with respect, even the gorgeous looking girls or the old party animals like me...

Now... let's have a party to nite...!

Waiterrant and conchalibre

2006-01-05T01:04:00.000-08:00

Today I again want to express my deep reverence to the world of bloggers.
This world is so fascinating and if I do not have my daily dosis of blogs, I somehow feel only half...(is this an addiction?)

I like honest and observing blogs the most.
Especially the ones that come from people, that work hard, get too less money and are confronted with the cruelty and impossibilities of their (mostly) wealthy clients: Waiters and waitresses in restaurants or clubs...

Read these blogs and you may know, why I love them so...

Waterrant (works in a restaurant, where one dish represents the double of his whole day salary - great writer!)

Concha (works in a night club - fascinating)

For me, it gives a totally different look to this business.
I personally want to be freindly to all restaurant people I will ever met in the future (which I was in the past too...honestly!)

I advise you to do so too....

If not, your bad behavior may occur in one of our blogs (hehe...)

Feline soul vibrations

2006-01-03T14:48:00.000-08:00

Today we decided to take new cats into our home, because the loss of the cat that used to live with us was too painful. So we are getting these two sweethearts pictured above as new family members. My daughter can hardly sleep, because she is so much looking forward to it...

We receive these cats from a animal protection society that is called "Katzhenhilfe Wuerzburg" wich means something like "Cat-help Wuerzburg". It is an association, that cares, nourishes and nurses "lost" cats. We visited one of the chairladys today and what we saw there was amazing and also very touching to me...

This lady keeps at least 15 cats in her house! All these cats were found on the streets some even with their still breast fed kittens lying in the shrubs by the roadside, just thrown away by some numb feelingless cat owners who just wanted to get rid of them... These cats would have been an easy prey for the animal collectors or roaming dogs... But initially, I wanted to tell a totally different story...

In this cat orphanage, I observed something really touching to me. When we came into the house only two or three cats were running around. All other cats were just dozing on the sofas or in their climbing trees. Suddenly all cats started to show up one after another. We were surrounded by them all. They just showed up like the kids in an orphanage when possible future parents come in. The cats were just like these kids. You could see the desperate hunger for attention in their eyes. Shurely many of them have been traumatised and learn to trust humans again in this private surrounding. But it really touched me to see all these cats showing up to get a little bit of tenderness and friendly words...

It resembled me to the human need of attention and tenderness.

Today I have seen us being very close to my feline friends...

Maybe this is the reason, why sensitive or depressive humans like cats so much: Cats have a very strong cognition about nearness. They are able to give it and they long to get it.

They make you feel understood while being a sovereign animal, not dependent but affiliating with you. They always have dignity and they want to be respected. But they also can be a comfort and love to be comforted and attended too. It is a amazing symbiosis.

I am again surprised and simply impressed...

Welcome kittens...looking forward to seeing you soon...

P.S.: You can see the list of the cats that currently look for a new home (including pictures) here.

Climatic thoughts

2006-01-02T23:21:00.000-08:00

A question strikes me this morning...:

Climate is going nuts on earth...
The global change of weather occurences makes me reflective.

Personally, I find it pure ignorance of the US government to preserve the right for energy waste in the US. The battlefield in Irak, that was opened for oil, has several negative impacts to our world. Despite the fact, that this war has severely decreased any positive regard to the western world in arbic countries, it also had very negative economical side effects. many countries in the world now have to struggle because of the risen petrol prices, that do not seem to have any other reason than speculative interest. This war was only fought, because the US try to preserve their energy resources and (most disturbing) do not want to start thinking about energy efficiency. (Give me other reasons for that war...I am still waiting...)

But who am I talking about? Is it all of the US? I have to lament about the destiny of thousands of victims of hurricanes, bush fires or heavy rain (like in california now...). It is not only the the poll of deaths that concern me (which is the worst of all), it is also the existence possibilities that are lost: House damage, loss of property and assets. I personally think, that the weirdness of the weather will severely increase. Where are the politicians that will react on what is to be seen in the world. Why does it seem, that only econmical interest of a few global playing companies rules political decisions. Those companies have to realize, if the climate destroys lives and the economical possibilities, where will they (and us) be...(just think of New Orleans)?

But it is like always: The rulers seem to be blind for what is happening...
They live nice and safe in their ivory towers and when they are gone we shall remember them as "great characters" that did the "outmost for their country"...

Darn,... who still believes this shit?

But who are the suffering?
The "small" people that try to live their average lives will be the ones that have the trouble when struck by climate desaster or poverty...

So, it is you and me...not George Doublejoo (e.g.)...

Remember this when having to vote next time or take other major decisions towards politics...

The "shape" of love

2006-01-01T23:02:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, I had to pick up my wife at the railway station.
I was there a little earlier (wich is not the usual way I do this...) and so I had time to observe people 'round the place. I stood right at the exit where everybody had to come through, that left or boarded a train. I want to share a few of my impressions when standing there...

1.) A human being, that is looking for someone or something in a crowd as a very special expression on his or her face. Even wehn the eyes of the searching person strike you, you can see, that you are not the target of the search. The eyes are quickly scanning the place and the the people. The face shows maximum concentration, while the whole body seems to be tensed.
The neck stretches to achieve a higher body height... The face shows a special kind of desperate expression until the moment the person found the target of the search. Then, a brightening smile rushes over the face thet clearly shows the "I found him/her" expression.

2.) Well, I was a searching person too...: I waited for my wife.
I must admit, that we seem to be a couple of the few, that lead a very happy marriage.
So I can say, that I love her and she loves me. When looking for someone loved in a crowd...the inner person scannes every face, that passes by to find the well known, used to see "shape" of the person you love.
Some people may resemble me to "her" but when "she" is approaching something changes.
It is the place, that she has in me. It is a positive, warm emotion that comes up inside of me, when I see her. It is her smile, her way of walking her outside appearance, that is stamped into my soul like the casting mould of a statue. As soon as my eyes spot the "shape" (her individual appearance attributes) it is like her being put into this cast and initiating these positive feelings as soon as the eye has put her image into this inner place.

There are many people, that try to explain love simply as a biochemical reaction of hormones in our bodies. Well, this seems to be the "scientifical" way of explaining this...
But dear scientists: I know, that you may have an explaination for what I described above.
But for us "normalos" the secret of love will always be kept in situations like this: The one you love comes around the corner and you not just see her...you feel her inside.

It stays a miracle for the one that loves despite any try of explaination...

And this, is what we need for life: The miracle of love.

A jewel in the mud - "Animusic"

2005-12-30T03:08:00.000-08:00

I surfed the net and found "a jewel in the mud"...

First of all, I must confess, that I am addicted to this website: www.metacafe.com
It is a website on which you can watch free, (and best of all) commercial free video clips.
(In my ranking, it is close to Blogspot.com ;-)
There, I found a website, that is for all, who love music and 3D animation.
It is just fantastic and fascinating.
I do not want to gobble too much about it here.

Watch the trailers, and build your opinion by yourself...

Party People

2005-12-29T18:24:00.000-08:00

I regularily go to a disco club to dance...
I started this dancing about 5 years ago.
Before that, I never ever had anything to do with dancing...
I thought: "This is weird... Why do people go to a club, listen to loud music and try to dance to it?"
I couldn't really find areason for that...

Now I know...

Dancing is just fun!

At the end of it (when I have danced for over 3 hours), it leaves me sweatty wet, stinkin' like a weazle and,...yesss..., happy.
I do not do it, because I want to hook somebody (which is normally the main reason to go to a club...)...
I just do it to move my body to the music...

Sometimes when I take a little break in between, I start watching the people...
There are so many different people coming to a club and I try to describe a few of them...

1.) The "gimme booze" - people:
Mainly men, but have seen women too...
Just go to the club, to get drunk.
You do not see the reason why,...they just do it.
Some sit in the dark corners, some drink together with their mates, but the target of the evening is: Severely get drunk! Those guys leave traces of pavement pizza on the floor and are just disgusting. Sometimes I wonder how these people manage to repeat that on and on...
At 2:00 a.m. the "gimme booze" - men start diggin' on the most beatiful ladies.. I always wonder what alcohol is able to do... I mean... how could you honestly think, that one of these classy women would positively respond to a drunken nerd, that is hardly able to stand on his two feet... Alcohol severly cheats on your sense of reality...

2.) The "no-watch-no-touch" chicks
Dressed sharp like a razorblade. Looking extraordinary good. They really have the playmate atmo around them, but they have proud eyes. If you look at them, they look at you like just had groped one of their buttcheeks. They just do not enter the club, they "appear". They do not walk, they stalk. They do not dance, their dance is a show (when they dare to dance...). But wait until they open their mouth... horribble! They are the target of wishes for the average tween boy, but they won't allow them to touch... What is the point? Girls... wait until you get older... and.. also.. With you behavior, you just attract the casanovas whose sport it seems to be to conquer you with their cheap tricks... this is poor...

3.) The "one night standers"
Here they come! Mainly the boyz. When they are in the zone, it starts to get funny:
Muscleshirts, their head is all hair gel, expensive sporting shoes, golden accessories, expensive watches, pimped cars and an IQ of 78. Most of their brains is between their legs. They are magnetically attracted to the "no-watch-no-touch" girls. They have to prove themselves that they are able to make it to the bedsheets with them girls... If on of them the "no-watch-no-touch" girls gets too drunk, they might end up in a together spended night... But when these couples leave the place, they are a sad spectacle to look at: He looks as a winner, she is so boozed, you can see she is even not realizing what is happening to her...

4.) The "bitches"
Those are real hookers, who try to get a man home with them.
Might be the ideal match for the "one night stander", but they aren't...
Because thiose guys wantto pick their prey, not want to be picked.
But those girls always get somebody home...Pheromones are strong!

5.) The "pairs"
A club is a place to go to meet people. Many of these people truly seem to believe, that within this atmo of drinkin', dancin', hustlin' and yelled conversations of minor content, they might fiond a partner.
Those who find one, keep coming to the place. But it is strange. these couple linger at the bar or in dark corners. Boy is jealously watching girl not to be dug on by other guys. Girl has eyes telling you, that she really likes to enjoy a good dance on the floor, but she cannot because of her jealously watching boy. So she stands in front of him, discreetly wiggling her tail toward her stressed watching boy, who is presentng her as his "own"...It is only for the show up, those two are here. They have a clique, in which they are not really integrated anymore and just celebrate their loneliness nt the crowd...

6.) The lonely people
There are a lot of this species in the club. They sit in corners or dark spots. They like to stay away from the boiling kettle. They are observers of the things going on... but they are never part of it all.
Very seldomly they are women. These people are mainly men, trying to find something, maybe hoping to get to know somebody, but too shy to ever dare to talk to somebody...Alcohol is one of their friends, but they do not get really drunk during the evening...They just keep the flame a little burning inside... when the effect of the booze goes away, this little flame fades away by the cold wind of the everyday life...

7.) The "floating" people
They are wandering around the club all the time. Maybe they try to get a touch of somebody in the crowded place. If they find the atmo boring, they quickly check with their mates via sms to leave the place and go somewhere else. Club hoppers...

9.) The "oldies"
OK, this is my category. People who like to dance or club in their 40s...
Always looked at with a little scorn. When dancing the yong girls like to mock about them.
Maybe these people are trying to conservate their youth. Maybe they have their midlife crisis.
But maybe, some of them just wanna have some fun.

10.) The "lonely rich businessmen"
Only few of those are to be seen in the club.
He comes late at night. Is to be recognised by the expensive clothing he wears and the hungry eyes he has... Always keeps a good disctance to everybody. Is not conversating. Is just tanking the feeling of the place. You can see, that he is longing for to join the party, but he is torn between his businessman attitude and letting everything loose. Spends the whole night for the decision...And goes back to his business world... lonely...

11.) The "group-girls"
A group of at least 4 up to 10 sharp dressed, giggling party-chicks, that is whirling arond the place. Consists of exaggerated and introvert girls. There are always leaders and followers. Decision makers and just shy girls. Sometmes attacked by the "one night standers" ...But the group sticks together. It always locates together or floates in the club, only thinned out sometimes by the exaggerated girls who like to dance and mix ínto the party vortex...

12.) The "pair-girls"
No,...no...they are not lesbian, but they stick like glue.
Mainly a combination of a very good looking girl and a "normal" chick or two very good lookin' ones.
They do everything together. It is hard for a guy to split this pair in order to get a conversation to one of the two. Ittakes a little more guts to for the boys to approach them...
They especially like to go to the toilet only as a pair of two...
They go to the club together and they leave it again...

13.) The "party animals"
Male or female species of extreme party ability. They dance, hustle, drink, are having a feast.
It is "their" world. The music is the pulse, the people are the air they breathe. They just want to celebrate the escape from the grey everyday life... It is amazing to watch them.

14.) The "performers"
Extremely skilled dancers, that like to show off. They brake or do their electric dancin' mainly, when the dancefloor is not very full, so that they have enough space and attention for their performance. Then, once started, they "battle" in smal groups or just "go off" alone. In any case a cirle of spectators gather around them and watch...enjoyng their perfomance... It is an amazing sight.

15.) The "body guards"
You pass trhe phalanx of those when you enter the club. If they won't let you in, you do not get in...They are Gym-steeled wardrobe sized alert looking guys who are there to protect the partying masses from the few guys that try to express themselves in extreme violence in combination with too much alcohol. The reasons can be jealousy or even only a different city you come from. Some people ged bad and mad because of minor resons... The "guards" are able to take and give some heavy shots. Their advantage in action is, that they are sober. They are quick, couragous and effective. It is a dangerous job...and they seem to like it.

16.) The DJs
Just the motor to the party. Some are good. Some are just mediocre. You realize it when the dancefloor is full. Some think, whe they try to sing along with the tunes by the use of a too loud amplified microphone, that this would raise the party atmo. Oh boy! What an error! I mean... boys,... let the music do the job and stop yelling at us... If you would do a nice set, we won't loose our fun... get your butt cheeks together, shut up and put a kickin' beat on the turntables...got it?!

17.) The club workers behind the bars, at the cashier, at the wardrobe and the light mixing consoles... a small army of nightshift workers who have hard time to get the whole thing running. Especially to be honored here is the toilet lady form Africa, that cleans up all the pee and pavement pizza the drunk male human beings spilled on the lavatory floor. When I gave her a tip worth a few dollars the smiled at me and said: "Thank you! God bless! God bless!" I left the club... blessed...

And there are a lot more...

You shouldl go just once into a club and watch...

It is better than TV...

431:1 what a score!

2005-12-26T23:36:00.000-08:00

In this interesting blog I found a very smashing figure:

431:1

If this would be the final score of a soccer game, everybody might say:
"This was not fair play!"
"This was manipulated!"
or
"One of the antagonists was too weak!"

In fact all of the comments are right...

431-to-1: This is working pay ratio of US CEOs to average workers. It is an anomaly among industrialized nations, where a more typical ratio is 25-to-1. While CEOs continue to receive double-digit percentage raises year after year, workers barely keep pace with inflation.

How will this work out?

The extraordinary hight payments for CEOs in comparison the the work force is a shame.
For me, that means, that everybody on this world, employed or not could be at least be nourished and sheltered with a space to live. Even, if the difference is like 25:1 to the average workers wage, no one needed to be living at the border to poverty or in poverty.

May I ask some questions...?

The USA claim to be "Gods' own country". Why is it, that the social discrepancies in the economical areas are the worst in the world?
In Germany, 65% of all assets are in the hand of 5 % of the population. Why do governments all over the world constantly raise the tributes of their people this way, that the people of the lower social background have to pay the lion's share of it?
Why do the employed people endure these discrepancies?
Where is the conciousness of the CEOs being paid like that? How could they ever go to sleep at night, without being struck by nightmares of their inner guilt.
Why is poverty or the hard struggle for making a living so highly accepted in a world where it is obvious that there are enough monetary assets to feed all, build houses for all, let all be mobile and entertained...

I seems to me, that the song lyrics of Reinhard Mey are get more valid as time goes by:

"Der Minister nimmt flüsternd den Bischof am Arm: Halt du sie dumm! Ich halt' sie arm!"

Which means translated:

"The politician taps the bishop silently saying: You keep them stupid! I keep them poor!"

Why is it, that especially religions work so hard on the people to accept their social standards.
Even poverty seems to be glorified in some religions.
Religions should change social discrepancies not consolidate them.
They should work on the rich to reach their hands out and to share.
They should help the poor to get into better life tracks...
The social tensions will finally make religions redundant, when anarchy strikes the well set-up world of the CEOs and the better situated (As seen in France this year).

Just increase the number of security personnel or shooting the mob down is not the solution.

Are we aware of the fact that as soon as social stability is disrupted all monetary values can fade away in a glimpse. Politicians should work hard on letting the lower social levels gain a better living. What if those peole are not willing to accept this status quo anymore. The high crime rate in the US or the France-riots are an opener to what we have to expect in the future as main course...

Wake up!

We're waiting for a change!

When death strikes

2005-12-25T08:04:00.000-08:00

Ok, it is Christmas time and no one would ever think of death in this time...
Everybody is just having a relatively good and maybe peaceful time right now...

This morning one of my former collegues called me to tell me, that one of the CEOs of the company I used to work in until September had died just two days ago...
One day before Christmas.... He leaves a wife and two children...
He was about one year younger than me...

What had happened...?
It is said, that he just suffocated from...well I do not know more details but he suffocated.
Strange thing to that is, that last week we've had an argument, because he had freshly annoyed and insulted me a lot with an e-mail that was a normal spam mail with one of these typical offers ("You need money? Join ourt team! Earn $4000/month only by being German and having a bank account!") He forwarded me this mail with only one question in it: "What about this for your work?"
I will explain, why this annoyed me so much:
I left the company, because of the fact, that they wanted to pay me 15% less of wages. They had run the company down and now the workers had to pay the price. I refused to that and he offered me to be dismissed if I did not accept the decrease in wages...which I did.
When he sent me this mail last week I told him honestly what I thought about it...and the first time I told him, that he was the reason for me to leave the company...
And now he is dead (*frighten)...

All this is very confusing...
So many questions run in my head...
Should I have backed and tried to reconcile within these arguments we had (It was only via E-Mail).
Of course a death is always shocking, especially, when the relation to the deceased was not very positive. But no one ever can expect something like that...
And I found it hard to be told to try a shady job when I would need money (I am unemployed right now), just only because I left the company a few months ago...

I cannot describe my feelings...

I am so confused...

No Christmas for me, please...!

2005-12-23T04:21:00.000-08:00

I am just not a christmas man.

I terribly dislike this sort of commercial injection into my lifepath.
Actually Christmas has a lot of disatvantages...

It causes people to spend their sour earned money for useless presents or High tech gear, the recipiants hardly want to use or even can pronounce...
It causes an eyesore: On every corner there are Santa-pictures and Bells, Stars and worst of all: Christmas illumination... Not only the disgusting shapes of these light spitting nuisances annoy me...Politicians issue thousands of regulatons to avoid energy loss in Germany and all the Christmas-illumination costs more energy than three months of energy use in summer...gross!
It causes male and female hips to gain more circumference by the use of of millions of tons of sweets, candy, cookies, cakes and millions of killed birds, rabbits, deers, etc,...
I am not complaining about eating meat (I like it very much) but christmas seems to exaggerate that...
And all that booze drinkin'!
It causes families to have embarassing situations and a huge amount of inter-familiar clashes about gifts, money, mothers-in-law, etc...
It causes kids to endure deadly boring christmas church services including participatng in the always-the-same nativity-plays.
It causes rude tree choppin' in the forests and the at least one room-fire per city, because of burning christmas trees.
It causes you to endure Christmas carols everywhere you go...(The worst thing I had was yesterday, when I saw an accordeon plaining santa sitting in the pedestrian zone of our small city singing "Silent night..." with a headset microphone on and sitting on an Amplifier - he had no beggars gear with him, like the usual hat with the coins in it... he was paid for this from the city council...gross!)

But hey... is this really Christmas? Who does all this crap. It is us humans again turning the special moment into commercial madness. It seems everything important to life is transferred into this state of commercial interest...

Maybe there are some alternatives to that....

I've got some...

The only thing I really enjoy is the quietness when the unpacking and the "feast" is over:

Kids are in bed plus a decent glass of Lagavulin Scotch Whisky and sitting on the sofa,...my girl in my arm...silence...
nobody around...

Ok, that is my Christmas...nothing more...
Oh... I forgot.. It is the bitrhday of a VIP that came into this world...wealthy like a beggar...lying on oatmeal and straw...

The pulse of life

2005-12-23T03:01:00.000-08:00

OK, this is going to happen in English now...becuase this is my main language to express my feelings...

I met a very dear friend yesterday and we were talking about reading blogs in the net.
Well, I know, why I do it... I am a very nosy person...always curious to learn more about other peole... sometimes a little peeping... but that is me...

But then, we managed to specify the special- and uniqueness of blogs.

I mean the anonymous blogs.
The ones with people honestly writing their inner world.

views,
thoughts,
anxieties,
struggles,
observations,
love,
sex,
hatred,
pain
pets, etc...

They can be seen here
They can be theirselves in here.
The ones that totally hide their identity are mostly the most honest ones.
Others just have a real good literary style.
Maybe it is because the have friends...
Maybe because many have no friends or need the possibility to say the unsaid... the things they couldn't ever tell anybody...

For me, it is like reading a very special enormous book...
...about the pulse of life... the pulse of human life...
Updated daily...
Updated in the heartbeat of humanity...

It is just great!

Heute ist es amtlich...

Unsere Katze wurde von einem Auto überfahren.
Die Plakete haben Ihre Aufgabe erfüllt. Eine Frau aus dem Stadtteil hat unsere tote Katze gesehen und meine Frau angerufen. Eben hat meine Frau den Leichnam nach Hause getragen und mich anschließend angerufen.
Von Ihr: Tränen..Trauer...Schmerz.
Wir werden Sie wohl im Garten begraben...

Ich bin im Moment wie betäubt.
Es ist, wie wenn du ein Kind verlierst...
Wir haben so schöne und lustige Erinnerungen...
Jetzt ist sie ausgelöscht durch einen schnöden Autoreifen.
Ene Katze in einer städtischen Umgebung zu haben gehst scheinbar nicht.
Wobei es für mich erstaunlich ist, wie weit weg dies von unserem Zuhause geschehen ist...
Immerhin fast enen Kilometer weit weg ist sie gefunden worden...was für ein Streuner!

Ciao Katzi... es war eine schöne Zeit mit dir...

Katzentrauer

2005-12-19T01:25:00.000-08:00

Sie ist schon wieder verschwunden... schon seit 4 Tagen....
Entweder ist unsere Katze derzeit rollig und auf der Walz oder tatsächlich verschwunden...

Das ganze Haus beginnt so langsam zu trauern, aber wir haben noch nicht aufgegeben.
Heute hängen wir Plakate auf, nachdem unsere Katze vorgestern noch gesehen wurde.

Da sie sehr zutraulich ist, kann es durchaus sein, dass Sie auch bei jemand anderem untergekommen ist.
Sie tauchte neulich ganz plötzlich in der Küche unserer Nachbarin auf, während Sie unbemerkt beim öffnen der Haustür einfach hereingeschlichen ist.

Ein Katze zu verlieren tut sehr weh...
Selbst wenn man sagt, sie wäre "nur ein Tier", hat sie doch eine so hohe Inteligenz, dass sie jeden von uns mit einer ganz individuellen Verhaltensweise bgegnet ist.

Bei mir z.B. schlief sie im Arbeitszimmer auf dem Router, bis ich mich an den Computer gesetzt habe.
Dann am sie auf meinen Schoß um dort zu schlafen.
Ich war auch der Einzige auf dessen Schulter sie geklettert ist, um dort zu schmusen.
Ich konnte mit Ihr auf der Schulter durchs Haus laufen oder am Computer arbeiten.

Bei meiner Tochter schlief sie am Fußende des Bettes oder auf dem Sofa und dort mit Vorliebe auf Ihrem Bauch.
Wenn Meine Tochter aus der Schule kam ist die Katze, wo sie auch im Haus war, aufgestanden, um Sie an der Haustür zu begrüßen.

Mein Sohn liebte am Anfang mit Ihr zu Raufen. Deshalb fällt sie ihn manchmal einfach (scheinbar) grundlos an.

Bei meiner Frau schlief Sie oft in der Mittagspause im Arm...

Es wäre wirklich schade, wenn sie verschwunden wäre. Das wäre ein großer Verlust.
Wir hoffen weiter...

Linux

2005-12-15T01:40:00.000-08:00

Seit Tagen versuche ich nun Linux zu verstehen...
Das ist ähnlich interessant wie die Erotik von Wasserstandsmeldungen und ähnlich einfach wie Musik.

"Musik ist ganz einfach: Man muss bloss zur richtigen Zeit den richtigen Ton treffen..."

Das ist der Grund, warum ich zwar komponieren kann, aber nicht ene Note vom Notenblatt zu Musik umsetzen kann...

Wenn das mit Linux auch so wird...

Naja, die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt :-)

Katzenfänger?

2005-12-13T23:53:00.000-08:00

Ein Drama endete vorgestern glimpflich....

unsere Katze, die wir im August bekommen haben war plötzlich weg.
Ich gebe zu, sie hat nicht einen besonderen Namen ("Katzi") aber sie ist eigentlich hochintelligent. Sie kennt einen Fressruf und kommt normalerweise aufgrund dieses Rufes wieder nach hause zurück. Allerdings ist sie ein Streuner und sehr zutraulich (Lässt sich von jedem streicheln und läuft sogar ein Stück des weges mit...)

Im Moment scheint sie andere Homezones auszuprobieren. Gestern erschien Sie plötzlich in der Küche unserer Nachbarin, in deren Haus Sie scheinbar beim öffnen der Haustür unbemerkt sich Zugang verschaffte...

Aber am Wochende hatten wir ein Problem: Sie war verschwunden.
Unsere Katze war ist uns bereits sehr ans Herz gewachsen....buchstäblich. Einer Ihrer liebsten Schlafplätze ist der Platz im auf dem Brustkasten meiner Tochter. Sie legt sich dann so hin, dass sie mit ihren Pfoten das Gesicht mener Tochter umarmt. Ja,... ich gebe zu ... das muss wohl Liebe sein!
Um so größer war die Trauer als Katzi abends nicht nach hause kam. Katzi ist normalerweise pünktlich. Morgens um kurz vor 6:00 springt sie mit einem bestimmten Ton im Munde auf unser Bett und leckt mein Ohr ab. Das heisst so viel wie: "Aufstehen Alter! Fressen ist angesagt nd ausserdem will ich raus..." Das ist meistens ca. 5-10 min bevor mein Wecker regulär klingelt. Sie kommt nicht früher und auch nicht später... Genauso regelmäßig kommt sie am abend für gewöhnlich nach hause... nur am Sonntag war das nicht so...

Was war passiert? Auf Ihren Streeifzügen kam sie auch an einem Wohnheim für Behinderte vorbei. Dort ist sie bereits ein gern gesehender Gast. Eine Betreuerin dachte sich, dass das Arme Katzi kein zuhauses hat und sie sie doch abends bei der Kälte nicht einfach wieder rauslassen kann ... und nahm sie mit nach hause... Dort zeigte sie dem Hauskater erst mal, was 'ne Harke ist. zum Glück waren auch wir auf unserer nächtlichen Suche im Behindertenheim vorbeigekommen und hinterließen unsere Telefonnummer mit der Bitte anzurufen, wenn unsere Katze dort auftauchen sollte... Die Betreuern fand den Zettel und rief bei uns an...Dadurch kam unsere Katze wieder nach hause...

ABER...

Durch dieses Erlebnis wurde ich auf eine Gruppe Menschen aufmerksam, die es Tatsächlich noch gibt, und die scheinbar unbehelligt von Recht und Gesetz tausendfaches Leid in Privathaushalte bringt: TIERFÄNGER.

Ich meine...äh...was sind das für Menschen...???

Zuerst einmal bringen solche Typen es fertig, ein so auf Individualität, Menschenkontakt und Freiheit ausgerichtetes Tier wie eine Katze zu "fangen" und in einen Käfig einzusperren. Dann werden diese Tiere entweder getötet (evtl. für das Fell(?) - neulich fand man einen großen Haufen Katzenkadaver ohne Fell in einem Wald bei Stuttgart!) oder verkauft.. Nur... WER sollte eine "fremde" gefangene Katze kaufen wollen? Die Tierheime sind voll von herrenlosen Katzen...Die wollen gar keine neuen Tiere... Es können demnach keine Privathaushalte sein, die fremdgefangene Katzen "kaufen" wollten. Nein, es ist die Pharma- und Chemieindustrie, die immer noch Tiere für Tierversuche braucht...

Hier nun meine Fragen:

1.) Warum stellt der Tatbestand eines Tierdiebstahls in unserer Rechtssprechung eher einen minderen Delikt dar?
Die Polizei reagiert auf Katzenfängeralarm immer sehr träge bis fast gar nicht.
Ich habe noch von keiner wirklich wirksamen Verurteilung gelesesen oder gehört...
Des gleichen habe ich auch noch nicht gehört, dass eine gestolen Katze, die von einem Tierfänger entführt wurde jemals wieder aufgetaucht wäre... Ich selbst habe in jungen Jahren auch mal ein Katze durch tierfänger verloren... Trotz besuches bei der Verdächtigen Person (diese Leute waren in unserer Gegend bekant dafür) haben wir sich nicht gefunden...

2.) Warum werden Firmen, die meinen Tierversuche machen zu müssen, nicht dazu verpflichtet nachzuweisen, woher sie die Tiere bekommen? Die bessere Methode wäre, dass diese Firmen dazu verpflchtet werden müssten solche Tiere selbst zu züchten und unterzubrigen und zwar nach den Auflagen der gängigen Tierschutzgesetze.
Das Beste wäre keine Tierversuche mehr zu machen, wobei ich nicht weiss, ob das überhaupt möglich ist...

3.) Warum hört ihr blöden Tierfänger nicht einfach auf und lernt was anständiges?
Ich wisst ja gar nicht, wieviel Leid Ihr in die Familien von Katzenhaltern bringt.
Ich halte nichts vohn der Art Tierliebe, die ein Tier wichtiger macht als den Menschen oder das eigene Kind...
ABER(!), Wer eine Katze hat, die nicht nur zum Mäusefangen da ist, weiss ganz genau, dass eine Katze die gleiche Aufmerksamkeit und Freiheit braucht, wie ein Mensch und deshalb auch so in einem Haushalt "mitlebt". Sie ist ein hochsensibles Tier, die auf Stimmungslage, Sprache und Zuneigung sehr intensiv reagiert und auch das Gleiche (bis auf Sprachliche Kommunikation mit Worten) geben kann. Eine Katze zeigt dir genau, was sie von dir hält und ist für Liebe und Zuneigung genauso dankbar wie ein Mensch...
Deshalb werden ja Katzen auch für Versuche mit Psychopharmaka herangezogen.
Deshalb ist eine Katze eigentlich ein vollwertiges Familienmitglied und ein Tierdiebstahl kommt für mich einer Kindesentführung gleich.
Ene Kindesentführung steht normalerweise in der BILD Zeitung. Eine Katzenentführung mit anschließendem Mord nicht...warum nicht?

Ich warne nur euch Katzenfänger... sollte ich sehen, dass einer vn euch versucht versuchst meine Katze mitzunehmen...
Eine Anzeige wegen gefährlicher Körperverletzung nehme ich in diesem Fall in Kauf...

Von Heuschrecken, Spinnen, Haien und deren Nahrung

2005-12-13T03:12:00.000-08:00

Kürzlich las ich in einer bekannten Wochenzeitung die Geschichte der G.

Im Gegensatz zur geschichte der O. war dies keine erotische Geschichte.
Allerdings enthielt sie eine Menge pikanter Details.

Die "G." ist die Armaturenfabrik "Grohe" von Ausländischen Investoren erst ausgesaugt, und dann unter Zuhilfenahme einschlägiger Berater so weit in den Rationalisierungswahn getrieben wurde, so dass jetzt das erste Werk geschlossen wirde.
Dieses Werk erwirtschaftete 20% Gewinn aus dem Umsatz (Ein Traum für normale Unternehmer...)...

Während Berlin sich mit der CIA und deren illegalen Menschenrechtsverletzungen beschäftigen muss, passiert, ausgehend von ausländischen "Investorenfirmen" ein kalter Witschaftskrieg ganz anderer Art. Motto: Anschleichen, Ängstigen, Zubeißen, Töten, Verdauen.

Das Muster ist immer das Gleiche:

1.Schritt: Anschleichen
Es werden hierfür bevorzugt traditionelle Unternehmen gesucht, deren Firmengründer noch gerne einen ruhigen Lebensabend verbringen wollen. Es existiert kein wirklicher Nachfolger oder eine zerstrittene Familie. Jeder will also so viel Gewinn wie möglich aus seiner Familienzugehörigkeit als Firmenbsitzer schlagen, aber nichts mehr dafür tun. Klar das Streit vorprogrammiert ist...
Die Investorengruppe beobachtet solche Dinge sehr genau..

2. Schritt: Ängstigen:
Die Investorenfirma zeigt Interesse an dem Deal. Das bewirkt Nervosität beim "Opfer". Man streut ein paar Gerüchte. Der Unternehmer erkennt "Sanierungspotential", weil der Gewinn scheinbar langfristig nicht ausreicht. Durch die Nachfolgerfrage sowieso nervlich belastet, lässt sich der Unternehmer auf Verhandlungen ein. Die Investorengruppe lockt mit einer riesigen Kaufsumme, was dem Unternehmer zunächst schmeichelt. Er freut sich auf seinen geruhsamen Lebensabend und hofft, dass die professionell auftretende Investorengruppe der Firma neue, innovative Konzepte enhaucht und damit einen langfristigen erhalt der Firma garantiert.

3. Schritt: Zubeißen.
jedes Raubtier tötet sein Opfer mit einem Biss oder saugt es aus. Beim Aussaugen wird das Opfer vorher durch eine lähmendes Gift Bewegungsunfähig gemacht. So auch kurz nach dem der Kaufvertrag unterschrieben wurde. Denn jetzt stellt sich heraus, dass die Finanzierzung des Kaufes auch nur auf wackeligen Beinen stand. Die Firma wird durch plötzlich auftretende Verbindlichkeiten aus dem Verkauf (hä? Die Frima bezahlt Ihren Verkauf selbst... aber so ist es... Die Investoren haben Kredite für den Verkauf aufgenommen, die sie jetzt gleich in die Firma transferieren.) Die Investoren haben zwar auch selbst ein wenig Geld beigesteuert, beeilen sich aber dieses so schnell wie möglich aus der Firma wiederzuerhalten. Es wird also versucht so viel Geld aus der Firma auszusaugen...Währenddessen werden die Löhne der Angestellten und Arbeiter neu verhandelt, flexible Arbeitszeiten ausgehandelt und den Arbeitnehmern erhebliche Einkommenseinbußen und Härten zur "Standorterhaltung" zugemutet.

4.Schritt: Töten
Nachdem der Managementriege des Unternehmens durch anschauliche Beispiele (z.B. eine Reise nach China) gezeigt wurde, dass das Unternehmen sowieso keine Marktchancen mehr hat, Sucht man nach neuen Produktionsstandorten in Billiglohnländern. Das System ist einfach. Das Know how wurde gekauft und wird an anderer Stelle wiederverwertet. Dafür werden die Arbeiter und Angestellten in Deutschland ins Sozialsystem entlassen. Wer braucht schon Metallfacharbeiter, wenn es keine Metallverarbeitung gibt. Des Sozialsystem bäumt sich auf, weil noch einmal 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000.... Leute entlassen werden.
Durch den Umzug der Produkton leidet die Qualität. Die Entlassenen des Unternehmens können die hergestellten Artikel sich schon längst nicht mehr leisten (Wegen deren Verweilen im Sozialsystem). Durch die leidende Qualität werden nun keine Produkte mehr von denen gekauft, die es leisten könnten. Das Unternehmen hat auf lange sicht gesehen keinen Deutschen Standort mehr und verkauft im Ausland eventuell noch ein paar Billigprodukte unter seinem Namen. Das ursprüngliche Unternehmen ist gestorben.

5. Schritt: verdauen.
Die ins Sozialsystem entlassenen verursachen diesem erhebliche Bauchschmerzen. Im Gegensatz zu den Investoren, hat das Sozialsystem die Entlassenen gar nicht zu sich nehmen wollen. es leidet ohnehin schon unter einem Darmverschluss...
Die Investoren haben bereits das Doppelte Ihrer Investition aus dem Unternehmen gesogen und verkaufen es an weitere Investoren weiter, die das Spiel so lange mitmachen, bis alles Geld auf Ihrer Seite und die Firma pleite ist.
Der Unternehmer, der die Firma verkauft hat lebt in der Schweiz oder auf den Bahamas und verdaut derweil feinstes Essen und Trinken.
So gestärkt zieht die Investorenkaravane wieder weiter zum nächsten Opfer...es gibt noch viel zu holen...

Und wir? Wir stehen daneben...und staunen.

Staunen, dass unsere Politik die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen als höchstes Ziel der Politik vorgeben (Daran ist der Putinfreund Schröder auch schon gescheitert...)
Staunen, dass wir als "Normalbürger" immer mehr Opfer bringen müssen, damit dieses Investorengehabe überhaubt funktionieren kann.
Staunen dass systematisch Arbeitnehmerrechte beschnitten werden, damit die Grundbedingungen für die "flexible" Produktion leichter geschaffen werden.
Staunen, das Lohnverzicht und Steuererhöhungen angeblich die Wirtschaft beleben sollen, wobei es klar erwiesen ist, dass wir keinen Konsum auf dem Binnenmarkt haben und unsere Wirtschaft derzeit nur von den Exporten lebt. Was, wenn nichts mehr exportiert wird?
Staunen, dass der Ex-Bundeskanzler bei Gasprom einsteigt.
Staunen, dass es von gestezlicher Seite scheinbar keine Handhabe gegen den Ausverkauf der Deutschen Firmenlandschaft gegen international agierende Investorenbanden gibt, die längst schon den catritativen status der Sizilianischen Camorra erlangt haben.
Staunen zushehen zu müssen, wie die Globalisierung unser Land langsam unter Lähmung auffrisst.

Aber es ist unser Leben, sind unsere Kinder, unsere Städte, die da langsam und vom Investorenbiss gelähmt sterben
(Geh mal in Ruhrgebiet, das ist ein Trauerspiel...oder schau hier mal nach: www.dubtown.de )

Wie lange werden wir zusehen, bis der Verteilungskampf beginnt?

Die Meteorologen errechnen Klimamodelle der CO2 Konzentration in der Atmosphäre wegen der globalen Erwärmung der Erde.
Wann errechnen die Soziologen Sozialklimamodelle für die Soziale Überhitzng der Gesellschaft?
Die Sozialen Unruhen in Frankreich waren nur ein Anfang...

Sinneserwachen

2005-12-09T01:40:00.000-08:00

vorbei an der geschmacklosigkeit
von natriumglutamat und künstlichem himbeeraroma
(methylcinnamat! - wer hätte das gewusst...?)
wegen nikotin und kondensat bei 90 db
entgegen redbull-vodka und cola-hefe
weg von lasershow und neonlicht...
und zum trotz vor Chanel No. 5

wage ich es......
das blau des himmels in mich aufzusaugen......
im kopf wird es frei...

wage ich es...
nur das gras und den wind zu hören...
...eine sinfonie aus luft und grün...

wage ich es...
...bloß wasser die schmale öffnung meines gaumens passieren zu lassen...
schmeckt klar und kühl...

wage ich es...
...eine erbse, ohne alles, auf meiner zunge schmilzen zu lassen...
sie wird eine zuckerfee...

wage ich es...
...(beinahe) rohes fleisch in meinem mund zu zermahlen...
fast weckt es tierisches vergnügen...

wage ich es...
...das brot ... im lustanfall...zu küssen...
du riechst wie erde, holz, feuer...roggen...
...im spiegel sehe ich mehl an der nase...

der lange weg der rezeptoren...zurück zum echten...

und doch...

fast spüre ich es nicht mehr
...bleibe stehen
lasse die sinne atmen
verschwende zeit
um wieder geweckt zu werden...

vom kleinen großen wunder meiner sinne...

Tuesday night show...

2005-12-08T04:12:00.000-08:00

Also ich mache ja sonst keine Werbung und das soll man ja hier auch nich..., oder?
Aber in dem braven Frankenstädtchen Würzburg gibt es eine Attrakton, die sich der Liebhaber von live gespielter Musik im Bereich Funk, Soul, R&B und HipHop nicht entgehen lassen sollte:

Es ist die "Tuesday night show" in der Diskothek "Boot" in Würzburg.
jeden 1.Dienstag im Monat steigt da ein Party mit Top-Musikern und echter Party-Stimmung.

Ich war gerade am letzten Dienstag da, habe mich königlich amüsiert und tanzen darf man sogar auch ;-)

Nächste "Tuesday Night" show gibt es ausnahmsweise am 10.1.2006.

Wer aus der Nähe ist, sollte hingehen... "C ya daire!"

Ach Condi....

2005-12-08T02:37:00.000-08:00

Condoleezza Rice.

Was für ein Name!

Das fühlt sich mit einem kleinem Schreibfehler ("Condolenza Rice") in Richtung "Beduarnswerte Beilage" an... Aber bevor ich hier so grob zuschlage fangen wir einmal mit einer Lyrischen Persönlichkeitsstudie von Condi an...

In Ihr steckt so viel!

Lässt man eine Buchstabenzepflückungsmaschine, die wir ab dem Minimumwert 1 über das Wortgebilde laufen, entstehen zunächst scheinbar sinnfreie Wortfetzen, die uns aber mehr über die besitzeren des Namens sagen könnten.

Tippen wir also ein: condoleezzarice

Ergebnisse:
Pflückwert = 1: c, o, n, d, o, l, e, e, z, z, a, r, i, c, e
Pflückwert = 2: co, on, nd, do, le, ee, ez, zz, za, ar, ri, ic, ce
Pflückwert = 3: con, ond, ndo, dol, ole, lee, eez, ezz, zza, zar, ari, ric, ice,
Pflückwert = 4: cond, ondo, ndol, dole, olee, leez, eezz, ezza, zzar, zari, aric, rice
Pflückwert = 5: condo, ondol, ndole, dolee, oleez, leezz, eezza, ezzar, zzari, zaric, arice
Pflückwert = 6: condol, ondole, ndolee, doleez, oleezz, leezza, eezzar, ezzari, zzaric, zarice
Pflückwert = 7: condole, ondolee, ndoleez, doleezz, oleezza, leezzar, eezzari, ezzaric, zzarice
Pflückwert = 8: condolee, ondoleez, ndoleezz, doleezza, oleezzar, leezzari, eezzaric, ezzarice
Pflückwert = 9: condoleez, ondoleezz, ndoleezza, doleezzar, oleezzari, leezzaric, leezzarice
Pflückwert = 10: condoleezz, ondoleezza, ndoleezzar, doleezzari, oleezzaric, leezzarice
Pflückwert = 11: condoleezza, ondoleezzar, ndoleezzari, doleezzaric, oleezzarice
Pflückwert = 12: condoleezzar, ondoleezzari, ndoleezzaric, doleezzarice
Pflückwert = 13: condoleezzari, ondoleezzaric, ndoleezzarice
Pflückwert = 14: condoleezzaric, ondoleezzarice
Pflückwert = 15: condoleezzarice

Grundsätzliche Fällt auf: Die Analyse der Wortverarbeitenden Buchstabenmaschine ergibt in der gesamtansicht die Form einer Gewehr- oder Pistolenkugel. Will uns dies etwas sagen?

Um dem Ergenbnis näher zu kommen, suchen wir nach Worten, die direkt oder interpretierbar Sinn ergeben könnten. Da Ms. Rice eine Amerikanerin ist suchen wir primär nach englischen Worten. Da sich Amerika international überall einmischt dürfen wir aber auch andere Sprachen berücksichtigen...

Pflückwert = 1: c, o, n, d, o, l, e, e, z, z, a, r, i, c, e
Pflückwert = 2: co, on, nd, do, le, ee, ez, zz, za, ar, ri, ic, ce
Pflückwert = 3: con, ond, ndo, dol, ole, lee, eez, ezz, zza, zar, ari, ric, ice,
Pflückwert = 4: cond, ondo, ndol, dole, olee, leez, eezz, ezza, zzar, zari, aric, rice
Pflückwert = 5: condo, ondol, ndole, dolee, oleez, leezz, eezza, ezzar, zzari, zaric, arice
Pflückwert = 6: condol, ondole, ndolee, doleez, oleezz, leezza, eezzar, ezzari, zzaric, zarice
Pflückwert = 7: condole, ondolee, ndoleez, doleezz, oleezza, leezzar, eezzari, ezzaric, zzarice
Pflückwert = 8: condolee, ondoleez, ndoleezz, doleezza, oleezzar, leezzari, eezzaric, ezzarice
Pflückwert = 9: condoleez, ondoleezz, ndoleezza, doleezzar, oleezzari, leezzaric, leezzarice
Pflückwert = 10: condoleezz, ondoleezza, ndoleezzar, doleezzari, oleezzaric, leezzarice
Pflückwert = 11: condoleezza, ondoleezzar, ndoleezzari, doleezzaric, oleezzarice
Pflückwert = 12: condoleezzar, ondoleezzari, ndoleezzaric, doleezzarice
Pflückwert = 13: condoleezzari, ondoleezzaric, ndoleezzarice
Pflückwert = 14: condoleezzaric, ondoleezzarice
Pflückwert = 15: condoleezzarice

Die rot markierten Textteile sind tatsächlich existierende Worte.
Die blau markierten Textteile lassen Interpretationen zu.

Existierende Worte:
on = auf (engl.)
do = tun (engl.)
con = Betrug,
dol = Dollar (abk. engl.)
dole 0 Arbeitslosengeld
ole = alt (engl. Slang)
lee = Windschatten
zar = Russischer König, bekannt für brutale herrschaftsmethoden
ice = Eis (enlg.)

Interpretierbare Zeichenfolgen:
ez = easy = einfach, leicht (engl.)
cond = Programmierfunkton: Bedingung
ondo = undo = rückgängig machen (engl.)
olee = olé = Ausruf
leez = lees = Bodensatz (engl.)
condo = condome = was das iss weissma...
zarice = weiblicher Zar
ondolee = onduliert gewellt

Interpretation:
Zuerst einmal fält auf, dass es gar nicht so viele sinnvolle Wörter im Zusammenhang mit Condoleezza Rice gibt...
Aber die, die es gibt lassen aufhorchen...Da lesen wir von Betrug, und Windschatten = Betrug der im Windschatten der Legitimation für den Terrorkampf an teusenden von Menschen gemacht wird. Mit Methoden bei denen selbst der brutalste Zar vor Neid erblassen würde, macht es sich Zarin Condi ziemlich leicht, den Bodensatz der Unanständigkeit über uns auszukippen und zwar wie mit dem Mut eines "olé!" schreinenden spanischen Stierkämpfers. Ihre ondulierten Lügen sind meines Erachtens nicht viel mehr Wert als gebrauchte Condome für die niemand sein Arbeitslosengeld hergeben würde.

Andere Interpretationen willkommen

Verkauft Berlin

2005-12-08T01:40:00.000-08:00

Es ist an der Zeit ganz neu über die Politische Landschaft in Deutschland nachzudenken.
Jetzt, wo wir eine Dame als Regierungschefin haben (ich habe nichts gegen Frauen in Verantwortung...bemerke dies hier nur der Neuerung wegen), sollte man noch über ganz andere Neuerfindungen in der Politik nachdenken. Blenden wir nochmal zurück:

Vor der Wahl sind die Damen und Herren der jetzt mittels einer Vernunftehe verbundenen Parteien mit verbalen Morgensternen und Streitäxten aufeinander losgegangen.
Jetzt sieht man Sie bereits scheinbar harmonisch gemeinsam regieren. Sieh an!

Dabei scheint es so zu sein:
Erstens kommt es anders und zweitens als man denkt.
Erstens kommt die Wahl und zweitens geht es so weiter wie vorher.
Erstens ist da Arbeitslosigkeit und zweitens eine boomende Börse.
Erstens sind da Lohnkürzungen und zweitens zweistellige Erhöhungen von Managergehältern.
Erstens schließen Top-Manager Profitable Produktionsstandorte in Deutschland und zweitens Bekommen Sie Millionenabfindungen bei komplettem Versagen.
Erstens sind über 65% des Vermögens in Deutschland in der Hand von 5% der Bevölkerung und zweitens wachsen bereits 13% der Jugendlichen in Armut auf.
Erstens werden Politiker von Konzernen teilweise bezahlt und zweitens die Arbeitnehmervertreter mit Prostituierten zum schweigen gebracht...

So... Die Entwicklung ist klar zu sehen und erlaubt eigentlich nur eine logische Konsequenz:
Nachdem bereits die erste JVA teilprivatisiert wurde schlage ich vor, die Politik gänzlich zu privatisieren. Mit einer entsprechend ausfgefeilten Marketingkampagne ließe sich damit offiziell erreichen, was bereits hinter den Kulissen Gang und Gäbe ist: Der Einsatz von teil- bis totalprivatisierten Berufspolitikern in einem auf Effizienz minimierten Parlament.

Vorteile:

1.) Politiker sind dann unbedingt leistungsorientiert: Schlaffes rumhängen oder nichterscheinen im Bundestag zu überbezahltem Diätenausgleich gehört dann der Vergangenheit an. Die Personalabteilungen der großen DAX-Unternehmen sind in diesem Punkt unerbittlich und glänzend geeignet. Da würde mit brachialgewalt gesiebt, dass es nur so kracht. Nur Spitzenleute wären im Bundestag. Voll motiviert und wirtschaftsorientiert. Da würde es endlich mal wieder bergauf gehen.

2.) Teure Wahlen fallen weg: Die letzte Bundestagswahl hat allein 62 Millionen Euro gekostet. Das Geld könnte woanders viel besser gebraucht werden. Zum Beispiel im ohnehin schon knappen Wehretat.

3.) Steuerhinterziehung fällt aus der Gesetzgebung: Endlich würden Gesetze gemacht, die denen helfen, die unsere Wirtschaft ohnehin am Laufen halten. Das Geld würde endlich wieder in Deutschland und nicht auf den Bahamas oder in Luxemburg investiert.

4.) Staatsverschuldung ade! Die Schulden des Staates wären auf einmal weg, da die Unternehmen, die den Staat kaufen die Schulden übernehmen müssten. Da es bis jetzt fast immer geklappt hat, dass bei überschuldeten Unternehmen ein Großteil des Geldes gerettet werden konnte, wird dann folgendes Beschlossen: Ein vollständig (Un-)Verantwortlicher wird für die Schuldenmisere des Staates als persönlich haftender Gesellschafter bestellt. Kurz nachdem Festgestellt wurde, dass er nicht zahlen kann meldet dieser Schuldner private Insolvenz an, legt den Offenbarungseid ab und bekommt nach Feststellung der Zahlungsunfähigkeit Kirchenasyl im Vatikan. Damit wären die Schulden des Staates bequem entsorgt.

5.) Steuern ade! Es gibt endlich mehr Geld für alle Bundesbürger. Jeder Verdienst = 1:1 verfügbar. Allerdings hat dafür jeder Bundesbürger eine Mindestkonsumauflage, damit die BRD-AG auch weiterhin funktioniert. Es gibt auch keine Schwarzarbeit mehr. Jeder darf das tun, was er kann und es auch entsprechend abrechnen. Durch Null-Steuern gibt es auch keine unwägbarkeiten im Haushalt der BRD-AG. Kontrolliert wird lediglich der Konsumumsatz.

6.) Voll betreute Ganztagsschulen mit 7 Tage/24 h Betreuung: Dies ermöglicht eine Vollzeit-Kindererziehung, bei der die Mütter endlich mehr Zeit für Ihren Beruf haben.
Soziale Spannungen würden durch die professionelle Kindererziehung von Vornherein abgebaut. Kein Streit mehr um zuwenig Taschengeld mit der gestresst von der Arbeit nach hause kommenden allein erziehenden Mutter... Väter könnten am Samstag Nachmittag endlich auf den Fussballplatz anstatt auf den Spielplatz gehen zu müssen = höhere Zufriedenheit bei der männlichen Bevölkerung. Durch die von der Industrie finanzierten Ganztagsschulen werden die Kinder von Anfang an auf Leistung eingeschworen und damit die Grundlage für eine neue industrielle Revolution gelegt.

7.) Es wird kein Geld mehr für Sozialhilfe ausgegeben, sondern nur noch in Naturalien gezahlt.
Der durchschnittliche Sozialschnorrer hat dan ausgedient. Die sogenannt "bedürftigen" Menschen bekommen von allen Industrie- und Handelszweigen Deutschlands Ausschuss und B-Ware zum überleben. Damit gibt es in den verarbeitenden Industrien keine Lagerbestände und es kann fröhlich weiterproduziert werden. Ansporn zur Arbeitsaufnahme wird dann der soziale Neid, durch den man sich dann Premium-Produkte leisten kann, wenn man wieder Geld verdient.

Sicherlich gibt es für den Staatsentwurf noch weitere Ideen und Vorschläge.
Bin auf entsprechende Kommentare zur Umgestaltung unseres Politiksystems gespannt...

Nun also doch...

Ich reihe mich ebenfalls in die nie enden wollende Reihe der Menschen ein, die Ihre inneren Befindlichkeiten oder Beobachtungen der Außenwelt in das unscharfe Rauschen des Weltweit gewobenen Spinnenetzes tippeln...

Ich sage es gleich von vornherein:

1.) Es wird chaotisch (so wie ich)
2.) Es wird grammatikalisch und orthografisch (Wo man den Ortografisch wohl angeln kann, ... na, egal habe eh keinen Fischereischein) katastrofal oder -phal (...was denn nun?)
3.) Ja, ich meckere... zu allem was ich auf dieser Welt so an Dingen sehe, die mir nicht gefallen...
4.) Bin zwar noch kein Geek, aber stelle mich gerne mal aufs board und surfe die mehr oder minder tiefgründigen Wellen des Inder-Netzes ab... da kommen natürlich auch Kommentare zu dem einen oder anderen, was ich da so vom Surfbrett geschmissen hat...
Je nach dem, ob sich dabei meine Nase in den Harten Sand gebohrt hat oder es ein sanftes eintauchen in türkisblaue Fluten war, wird es freundlich oder beißend sein...
5.) Trotzdem habe ich ein echtes Leben. So mit allem, was dazugehört. Mit allem, was sich mancher Wünscht (Frau, Kinder etc..). Mit manchem was ich mir nicht wünsche und manch anderer auch nicht...
6.) Ach ja... Musik und tanz... das schnöde Vergnügen liebe ich, und mache ich aktiv.
7.) Maybe the one or other post will be english spoken, 'cause I love that language and some things you can only say in English. (Like "Move bit**, get out the way!" - übersetz' das mal nach "Bewege dich, Nu**e! Gehe doch mal aus dem weg..." - passt einfach nicht!)

Durch die eingeschränkte und begrenzt sehende Güte und Anweisung der Agentur für verwaltete Lebenszeit landete ich in einer sogenannten "Maßnahme". Was hier wohl nur Maßgenommen werden soll...? Niemend läuft hier mit einem Zollstock oder so was herum. Stattdessen sollen wir lernen, wie die Dinge funktionieren, ohne die scheinbar keiner mehr leben kann: Computer. Wir werden EDV-chirurgen, die es möglich machen sollen Business-Datenbanken am laufen zu halten und dabei in irgendwelchen muffigen Serverräumen ein neonlichtbeschienendes Dasein zu fristen. Zum Essen und dem Latrinengang losgekettet haben wir ansonten mit solchen übeln wie kurzsichtigkeit, Sehnenscheidenentzündung und Staublunge zu kämpfen... Flexibel (wozu willst du eine Familie haben oder noch besser: Deine Familie dich? Du bleibst so lange bis der Server wieder läuft!), Unterbezahlt ("Was verdienst denn du so?" "Eigentlich mehr als ich jetzt bekomme!") und stets verfügbar ("Schlödenbeeeeck! Mein Computer geht nicht!" "Aber Chef es ist 3:00 Uhr Nachts!" "Na, und? Was wollen Sie mir damit sagen?") .

Dabei fällt auf, dass die Weltherrschaft bereits angetreten worden ist: Microsoft, sage ich. Mehr sage ich nicht. Wir verneigen uns alle täglich vor dem Bildnis des Bill oder wenigstens in Richtung Seattle. Wenn du es kannst zünde ein Räucherstäbchen für mich für ihn an... Ich kann es nicht. Es ist stink-langweilig! Andere finden das geil, ein RAS-Protokoll auf einem Win2003 Server einzurichten und sich damit die Nächte um die Ohren zu schlagen. Naja...ich gehöre hier nicht her...nicht hier her...nicht hier her... schlägt mein Herz jedes mal. Ist ein steady Beat. Eine Mischung aus HipHop und Dancefloor... in mir ist immer Beat. Ist immer Groove. Ist immer Farbe. Ich sehe Musik. Ich höre Farben. Das ist meine Welt... Da will ich hin...willich hin...willich hin...grooved es weiter...

Das Leben ist bunt. Ihr wollt, dass wir es grau streichen...
