Off for the weekend!!!!

Ok, I am done for this week.
I will be back on Monday. Enjoy your weekend.

Friday Five

Answer the following five questions in your weblog or journal. Make sure you leave a comment here with a link to your post (or just leave your answers in the comments section).

1. What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have?
Bungee Jumping.
I know a lot of people might say that but I really always wanted to do it and tried but something always went wrong and I couldn't do it. Now I gave up. Maybe one day I'll get the opportunity and I will just jump.

2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest?
I try to but in a nice way. it depends on the person. Some people do not take it well and then I just try to make them feel good....as long as they don't look completely stupid, then I have to tell them.

3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn't? What happened?
I don't think so. I can't recall anything like that every happen to me. Sorry.

4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why?
Kafka describes really interesting "worlds" and I think I would enjoy to be in it, but only for a certain amount of time.

5. What's one talent/skill you don't have but always wanted?
Playing the piano. I have a very good friend whose dad played the piano in Jazz bars and she started when she was 6. I always make her play something for me when I see her. It sounds so beautiful.


It's official

I am going to Germany this summer!!!!!!!
I am so thrilled I could pee my pants. Went online this morning and booked everything and now I only need those tickets in my hand and I am complete. Finally, after 2 1/2 years I am going to Germany!!!!! It will be so much fun, seeing my family and friends.
Even though, it's only a week I will enjoy it!!!!!
What a great way to start the weekend.

Sadness from the sandbox

LT Smash has a very sad story about a Sergeant in his camp. It's not very long so you have to read it.
How can anyone do this? I feel so sorry for that woman. here she is, fighting for other peoles' freedom and that is what she gets. Makes me sick.

Site Meter Info

I just played around with my site meter a little and found out that I can see where the (few) people that ever visited this site are at. There are some in Asia and South America, which I did not expect at all. But then, we're on the Internet so I guess you should expect that. It just surprised me and I would like to welcome anyone from anywhere that is lucky enough to come across this little blog. Thank you.

Schon wieder ein Busunfall

Diesmal in der Naehe von Karlsruhe...
Zum Glueck haben all ueberlebt als ein Bus, beladen mit Schuelern, mit einem Sattelschlepper zusammstiess.
Langsam ist es endlich genug mit den ganzen Busunfaellen, obwohl es in diesem Fall ein Kleinbus war.

Dann kann das mit der Wirtschaft ja gar nicht so schlimm sein!!!!

N-TV berichtet, dass das Hochpronzentige in ist.....

Another accident

The Washington Post reports that another train accident killed six people in Germany.
I don't know, but it seems like train and bus accidents seem to become an everyday event now....
Yesterday I heard on the local Hamburg radio station Radio Hamburg that many buses were checked yesterday and most of them had something wrong with them!! One driver was even drunk!!! I can't find a story on this but I will provide a link if I find one.

Something is going there......

I just read a breaking news headline (sorry no link yet) on N-TV that there was an explosion at some festival in Frankfurt and several people are injured.
This follows the bomb at the Dresden train station last Friday and the bomb scare today at the Cologne train station...

More later.....


Update:
I apologize. it was an accident.
Here is the link on N-TV (Sorry it's in German)

St. Pauli: Lizenz sicher

Da faellt mir aber ein Stein vom Herzen.
Der FC St. Pauli ist eines der Dinge, die ich am meisten vermisse. Ich habe mit 15 angefangen regelmaessig zu Heimspielen zu gehen (Nordkurve natuerlich) und habe den ersten Aufstieg in die 1. Bundesliga (mit 1. meine ich zu meinen Fussbalzeiten) miterlebt; und auch die Abstiege. Bis ans Ende meiner Hamburger Tage war ich stolze Dauerkartenbesitzerin (natuerlich Schuelerkarte) und vermisse es schrecklich, staendig in Hamburg zu sein wenn mal nicht gespielt ist (wie auch diesen Sommer).
Pauli ist das Beste, was Hamburg hat und irgendwann werden wir wieder "Nie mehr 2. Liga bzw. Regional-Liga" singen koennen.
You'll never walk alone!

Wenn Ihr mal Zeit und Lust habt...schaut Euch die Seite der Paulizei mal an.

Must be a German thing....

I swear this happened to me before. I was working at a supermarket when I was in school and one night my boss just walked out and locked me and my friend in the store. So we opened the door to the office and triggered the alarm while my boss was still in the parking lot and was abkle to let us out and call police not to come.
I know this is different but it reminded me of that one time.....
