free webhosting wanted!

Meanwhile I am preparing some of the very last features of the latest version of my new webdesign. After tearing down the "skate-mannheim.de" domain with all of its content such as the latest shots I've made and some general news from our local skateboarding scene, I decided to go further and develop a new concept which involves a platform for only pictures I have made once. The reason is quite simple: taking care of a "news"-or "spotcheck" section, like I used to have in the past, is just to time-intensive. And people will frequently watch out and ask for the latest news though, I kid you not!
The concept will include the following features, explicitly excluding nerve-killing things such as advertisements (preferably penis enlargement pills hahhaha), pop-ups (like those you can't even close and which move along your scroll path), bullshit flash-gimmicks without any content, long loading times and, of course, an ultra userunfriendly surface.
Well, it's based on a kind of virtual artbook mainly containing picture galleries of the things I still like to capture the most, including a skateboarding section with the latest shots of some of the locals. Also in there, a section of the places I travelled to alongside a Black/White section. I also want to try out some new things, like testing a small shop, where you can choose between single copies of the shots you like and absolutely need for your walls at home. :-) Choose between picture size (mostly poster) or/and frame size and color.
Additionally, I want to bring back a friend-photographer area in which it allows you to exhibit pictures you have made. This section was really appreciatet on "skate-mannheim.de" in the past, so let's keep it going.

What do you think? Let me know about it! ...And about a webhost you might know which offers free webspace with a common .com-adress or similar.

But for today I'll leave you with a first screenshot of the new design (b/w-section of my artbook). Enjoy...

Playing out on one card, but the heart-queen does not seem to be the best match

Actually, I am focusing all my actions onto the time I'm off to Sweden, having two interviews in several companies in a couple of days. But in somehow, my surrounding is trying hard to keep me away from my intension to just get leave this place. In that case, keeping a clear mind is quite a hard thing, you know. Some of you readers know the facts, some of you don't and I also don't want to post too hasty statements here.

mood: something between lethargic confusion and an atmosphere of departure

But for now, what to do? Send my brain off for vacation? Make a list with what I want in life, excluding potential interference for clear thoughts? Well, friends are one, but cannot be excluded at the same time. Should I follow my heart, likesay the female way? Or try to keep it a straight way? Hmmm, the straight way was actually a good match in the past, disregarding bad influences and shit-talking of socalled friends and haters.

See, a "straight" has even a higher value than "a pair of queens" though!

Listen to the wind...

Windy greets from the land of the spastics!

I don't want to complain, because that would already implement my membership to the mollycoddled German society.
It is more a matter about how easy it is to control a whole nation with unsubstantial breaking news. Feed them with sensational and spectacular news and the people will stay in a state of fear an mental insecurity. In that state, people will do every thing you want them to do.

Todays headlines were all about "Kyrill", the storm which has reached the land of Bratwurst and weather-smalltalk. I purposely say "storm", because it isn't more like this. Usually people use to call storm "Orkan" over here, but it just isn't this time. But surely right enough to fill up every type of media a whole day long. I guess they guys need to keepthemselvs a bit busy; no warstories or sensational buerocracy events in sight. It all ended up with closing several schools and kindergarten's, which is only cool for the kids. Moreover, also many official buildings and ministries seemed to be imperessed by our media and closed as well in some parts of the country. Some of the firefighters surely had the one or the other quick orgasm when they heard that they could be in charge for tonite...if you know what I mean hehehe!?
Anyway, I am still waiting for the world collapsing and the trees flying through my bedroom as everybody promised for this evening...hmmm...actually there is not much going on outside.
Ok Ok, there was a report of three dead throughout the storm, but obviously their death was affected by car accidents, such as it happens everyday with unfortunately many dying. But once again right enough to blame mother nature for their incapable bahaviour on the streets! But hey, this time you have made it to the news-congrats! Tomorrow, none of those news-wankers would actually care about your death! Poor world...

Of course I agree with the abnormal warm winter, that's correct indeed. But wasn't it the same since...ever? I mean, shouldn't just everybody's alarm bells ring by listening to the statements of the socalled "scientists" on the telly, which try to convince you from believing in a climate change tomorrow? Mine do! This year for example our weather-fortunetellers are trying to tell us that we will have camels and palm trees over here soon. And guess what! The nation is hypnotized by this crap! So easy to satisfy...the yellow press society.
Some example to prove. I can still remember last year. I was in Singapore, but nevertheless I followed the local German news. In these days we had a quite cold winter along an abnormal ammount of snow (and trash, but that's another story:-)...). Our "scientists", who were asked in this situation, answered quite calm like they do usually. Guess what they said! Yes, you got it! In 20 years, my fellow citizens, we will have polar-bears walking around in Germany caused by the extreme climate change! hahahahahah...don't you all remember? Or is Alzheimer the most common desease in Europe now?
How is that possible? My advice: You should buy a new crystal-ball and adjust it right!

Obviously there has to be a financial purpose behind this misdirection-that's for sure! That is my theory. But in which way? I'm sure we'll get to know quite soon, in a newly invented tax for anything abstract. Protected by the fact to think that you pay for saving the earth. The latest news was for a special filter for Diesel cars, which excludes cars having this technology from paying tax for a while. The rest will have a new higher tax than before. You don't have to be a mathematical genius to have a look at this calculation. Count the number of Diesel cars in your country. Then take a look at the number of cars having the new filters installed. Right, not really much. And the rest? (which is actually approximately 98%) Has to pay the new tax! In summ: Quite a big smile for our Financial Minister. And the worst thing is that it works out all the time, not only with cars. That example was simple, but representative for the financial politics which is protected by the bad conscience of a whole nation; provided by the media ruled by the government. A full cycle closes...

I still remember times when you couldn't hear such things going on. I am sure that there has changed nothing and politis were the same, but it wasn't that obvious lying in front of the own nation! Politician seemed to be better in hiding their mystic business, but today...? Who wants to prove us and fo what?

How much can we take?

Friday night-big day out...

Another incredible new live-set by Danny! What more can I say? Even quequeing up 90 minutes before enter the club was it worthy not to leave early, as many guys did...missing the definitely last big show at Phaze Club!
Thumbs up for the DnB-warriors who stood the line to support our local scene! Especially Patrick-thanks mate! Every time the GoodLooking crew shows up, I try to convince some of my friends to join me for Bukem and, amazingly, these are mostly the guys who don't want to leave the rave actually! Isn't it funny?

But I am still a bit mad about myself missing calibre's as well as nookie's show just recently. What a pity...

Also had some research going on in finding new releases and artists. Finally found a couple including amazing new talent called DJ Shine, who was spinning alongside Nookie, hosting Ministry of Sound's- Atmospheric DnB show a few weeks ago. This kid got out of hand! :-)

Well, that's it for today.

And, by the way...thanks to the spastics for stabbin' two tires of my parent's car last nite! I had a wonderful time out there with changing wheels on the streets and hanging out at the cops until 4.30am!

New Blog tiltle soon?

...it probably could go like this: "Sweden...and the time before" hehehe

Sitting here in my apartment, a day off and magnified in front of the screen with all my thoughts. It seems that I am experiencing a new life soon. One phonecall and everything changes. Isn't it strange?
Well, first of all, it is just an invitation to an interview to a company in Helsingborg. The company as well as the type of work sounds perfect to me, even more the surrounding. Now it's also time to set up the second meeting-date to another company there which also showed interest in my profile.
I'm gonna be off to Sweden from Monday, the 12th until Sunday, the 18th of February. Cheap carrier and privat stay included!:-)

That's for the general news so far. Some other stuff is also going on, including today's big day out with the guys. LTJ Bukem, the majestro himself, made it up to Mannheim another time, right before one of Mannheim's best DnB clubs is closing.

And, as you event-freaks never recognize, you set up the date once again at the same time as another huge rave over here! You fu**ing spastics! Will you never recognize that? Both clubs are going to make minus because of your incompetence! Additionally, you are directly splitting up the scene and also causing the break-down of the Phaze Club!

Anyway, I won't end up today in complaining. I got loads of stuff to do...

See you 'round

some thoughts

I want to spend one of my very few lovely-lonely Sundays here and share the moment with you out there; wherever you may be right now. This is for all who won’t spend this moment in front of the telly loosing the last spark of creativity.
Actually there is a lot to say, a lot of things to complete after the huge “summer-hole” between June and November with no new updates in this blog.
Some of you were reminding me that just recently (shine on Karen ), some of you may have already quit reading it. But I am still sure that this dashboard of thoughts is reaching someone of you.
There is one thing I have to admit, a saying from a quite smart Chinese man that I heard two days ago. At least the saying was excellent, I dunno much about the guy’s character though. He said that to really keep a clear mind in the way of your thinking, you need to leave everything behind. Think straight and rational, leave everything behind, stop think about the past and the future and one day you will meet your inner self and find total spiritual freedom and peace.
I’m not the guy to believe in this way of thinking actually, but this statement is really true to me. Leave all the bullshit behind; all that stuff that fucks your brain, neither in the past nor the future. If you think too much, you won’t reach a point where you can get totally satisfied at all. Furthermore, some experiences from the past and plans for the future would guide you in a wrong direction; a direction you actually won’t go without these experiences and plans.
You will always be a slave of the modern society, not only focusing modern comforts. It’s more about the way you think, a straighter thinking in guess. For me it’s to see things in a rational way and, of course, to follow my heart. I don’t even want to think about the things to happen in two decades or so. Everything will happen for a reason, we only have a little influence on it. And, the most important issue, not to follow these brainwashers who might think that they know what you need and want in life-BULLSHIT, FUCK THEM! This includes, for me of course, religious acts of any kind! Religious misleading, in which way ever, will guide us into WW3 one day.
I am surely talking solely about me and I want you not to get me wrong, because it is very important that everyone will have his/her own way of thinking. But as long he/she treats me with respect and never tries to convince me from the “right path” of their spiritual thinking.

Another statement was made by Rolf Zacher, who is a German actor. I wouldn’t say a famous one, but a quite good one. He had a DVD release where he is telling stories out of his life. This guy is a genius, I kid you not! This statement may sound funny first, but this is totally true after you took a closer look at it!
He once said that there is one curious thing about life. He was wondering who really made the decisions for him inside his body- where to go, which places to see. Was it him? Was it his brain? No, it’s simpler than that …it was his dick! It told him where to go in life and which places to see!

Think about it (the guys! And the girls…hmmm, post comments…hehhe)!!!

setting up 2007, mood=depressed...musical adjustments

First of all, I wish you, all my frequent readers, a happy new year!

Then I want to post some of my current favourite tunes that I used to listen to th lst few weeks and some all-time fav's:

chill:

dj shadow-what does your soul looks like
blu mar ten-face of the earth

motivating:

undertow-where do we go from here
the chemical brothers-where do i begin
face to face-i want

beats:

kool g rap-ghetto knows
gangstarr-mass appeal
craig mack-flava in ya ear

parteeeey:

nuyorican soul-black gold of the sun (remix)

...and: any ltj bukem live sets of course! I love that shit!!! hehe

And these are only a few of my favourites, they just popped into my mind, so I decided to blog it spontaniously...

anyway, I was supposed to write some new stuff. Stuff that I actually want to do in '07. Hmmmm, I guess this post would be too long though, so I better spilt it up into pieces.

job: find finally one! hahahaha...You cannot believe how much I want to leave this place! But: I have received the first positive reply from Sweden today! Doesn't it sound good? Maybe my dream comes true quite soon...

friends: make new friends of course and hopefully to make it to keep in touch with everybody!

travel: to invest all my hard-earned money into upgrading my horizon and see as many places all over the world! I should try to have a stop at James' house in Colorado, that would be fun though. Hopefully snowbording, at least once. Organize that trip to Singapore, see my friends there and keep in touch with the local Drum 'n Bass scene. Go for diving again-either in Egypt or in Thailand again. Belize would be great too. And of course going back to Sweden! (Puss och Kram fran Tyskland hehe)
How come that want to do everything in February? hahahaha...I should start to work in nightshifts from now on! :-)

hmmmmm...

Actually that's about it-seems enough for a while huh?!

I let you know how many things worked out! hahahhaha


...to be continued
