45 Stunden wach und noch kein Zeichen von Muedigkeit. Bin am ueberlegen, ob ich die 48 noch vollmache. Aber eines koennt Ihr Euch gewiss sein: Ich werde danach schlafen, wie ein Stein (bis das Telefon um 9 klingelt).

Full Reset

The secret to solving a problem is, at least that's what they say, to put it into words.
I tried a couple of times to state my current situation - jobwise, mentally, futurewise - so that I could get a grip on life, make plans for the future, sort everything out, maybe even get fully and thoroughly happy.
I just couldn't. I don't quite know, what my real problem is. It's not the job I don't have, it's not the lack of money, it's not my fucking apartmentm which I hate more with every single day. My real problem lies deeply within me. In my soul, in my past, in my brain, in the way I was living my life. Even if my life changed within the next couple of weeks, it wouldn't really change anything. My inner problem would still continue to exist.
When shit gets complicated, what is the easiest thing to do? Right. Get rid of all the unnecessary, distracting things that were piling up during the last couple of months, years, your entire fucking life.
It's about time to clean everything out.
Get rid of everything that is keeping my eye off the essential things in my life.
Get rid of everything.
Reset my life.
Start over.
A different place, a different time, a different being.

The Ant & the Grasshopper

CLASSIC VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold. THE END

THE BRITISH VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. So far, so good, eh?

The shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate, like him, are cold and starving. The BBC shows up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper, with cuts to a video of the ant in his comfortable warm home in Hampstead with a table laden with food.

The British are stunned that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so while others have plenty. The Liberal Party, the Respect Party, the Transvestites With Starving Babies Party and the Coalition Against Poverty demonstrate in front of the ant’s house. The BBC, interrupting a Rastafarian cultural festival special from Grimsby, with breaking news, broadcasts them singing “We Shall Overcome.”

Ken Livingston laments in an interview with Panorama that the ant has got rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his “fair share”. In response, the Labour Government drafts the Economic Equity and Grasshopper Anti-Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant’s taxes are reassessed, and he is also fined for failing to hire grasshoppers as helpers. Without enough money to pay the fine and his newly imposed retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by Camden Council.

The ant moves to France, and starts a successful agribiz company [funded by the EU].

The BBC later shows the now fat grasshopper finishing up the last of the ant’s food, though Spring is still months away, while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he hasn’t bothered to maintain it. Inadequate government funding is blamed, Diane Abbot is appointed to head a commission of enquiry that will cost £10,000,000.

The grasshopper is soon dead of a drug overdose, the Guardian blames it on the obvious failure of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social inequity. The abandoned house is taken over by a gang of immigrant spiders, praised by the government for enriching Britain’s multicultural diversity, who promptly set up a marijuana growing operations and terrorize the community.

Skandal! Neues Bild von Mohammed aufgetaucht!

Das Bild und mehr dazu gibt's hier

Um die Frage zu beantworten: Ja, ich finde die ganze Diskussion und die Haltung der "ach so betroffenen" mehr als laecherlich.
Zum Glueck bin ich nicht der einzige.

Der Stein des Anstosses

Jammerlappen

Bei manchen Leuten frage ich mich echt, wie gut es denen sonst im Leben gehen muss, dass sie mit solch verquerer Logik kommen um zeigen zu muessen, wie schlecht es ihnen doch geht.
Das Gespraech lief in etwa so ab:
XY: "Ich hab meinen Fuehrerschein abgegeben und extra den Februar genommen, weil der nur 28 Tage hat."
Ich: "Naja, das geht ja noch. Ich sitze seit knapp 3 1/2 Jahren auf dem Trockenen."
XY: "Ja aber Du kannst doch jederzeit fahren."
Ich: "Wieso kann ich jederzeit fahren?"
XY: "Na Du hast doch einen Fuehrerschein!"
Ich: "Soll ich mich auf den Fuehrerschein setzen, 'Brumm brumm' machen und durch die Gegend rutschen?"
Ich weiss jetzt nicht, ob man wirklich so beschraenkt sein kann um "fahren koennen" auf "fahren duerfen" zu reduzieren.
Ey, klau isch mir hier konkret fettes 3er BMW und mach isch hier krasses Heizung durch Fussgaengerzone, ey! Kummt Polisei, weissu, nimmt mir FS ab, kann isch auch konkret nisch mehr Auto fahren.
Nein, fragt mich nicht, was ich aussagen wollte. Wahrscheinlich gar nichts.
