::People of the sun::

Someone asked a few days ago where all the pics featured on our happy site come from. Well, it’s fairly easy…we took them with our cameras or mobile devices (!). Ha. Well, to be completely honest, some are even scans of old analog photos of us or close family members. A pretty decent amount of these pics were taken in Australia, the Eifel or on countless trips around Europe or other friendly parts of the world. We never made any arrangements to take the perfect photo and we currently don’t even use any fancy cameras. We shoot quick and dirty and try to just capture the moment. Feel free to like them.

Sound of the day: Bliss n Eso – Down by the River

The beauty of summertime…

Dream from last night: “For some strange and to me unknown reason I had to move out of my house and was in search for a shared apartment. I took a good look through the papers and found an offer that sounded rather good. I called them, we had a chat and they agreed to send some pics which looked fantastic too. The decision was made, I took the apartment, apparently without every actually being there. Everything seemed to be alright in the first place so I decided I’ll be all good then. When I finally arrived everything felt strange although the house was pretty nice. I rang the bell. A nice old chap opened the door and let me in. We had a short chat and he showed me the room where to my surprise a big party was going on. Everyone seemed to be around 16-18 years old and as far as I was concerned there was no place on earth where I wanted to be less than in that room. Suddenly a young guy approached me and said he was Blablabla and that he was so exited we are living together now, in the same room. I turned around and directly left.”

I woke up with a big question mark floating over my head.

I’m back from Berlin and, as always, it’s so good to be back. I can’t exactly tell why but for some strange I’m very happy leaving that beautiful city after a certain time.

Anyway, thanks for the lovely weekend, I’ll be back anyway. ;-)

I recently deleted my Facebook account. From now on you might have to poke me in real life. Yeah.

I will be in the Netherlands over the weekend and encourage you to do the same.

We’ll catch up and have a beer or two.

Sound of the day: Prodigy – Warrior’s Dance

Since a lot of government officials in Germany are lately demanding random laws we like to step in and help those nutters with more random and idiotic ideas, for security reasons:

- Labeling of every citizen for quick identification
- Registration of websites only after approval by the officials
- Controling and documenting of all electronic communication
- Introduction of  ”Online Drivers License” that needs to be renewed every year
- Abolishing of money
- Installation of cameras in every home
- Introduction of curfew after 10 o’clock for everyone except those who earn >100.000 €/year
- Development of Matrix for easy “citizen-handling-purposes”

I recently figured out I love the chaos of bad weather. I always thought I was more the kind of good weather guy but I guess I was wrong. For some reason rain, storm and possible destruction makes me rather happy. Strange.

While realizing this year is pretty much half over we decided it’s time to do something different soon and explore another country. Reg is right now sorting out possibilities of getting a sponsorship deal and I’m trying to figure out which country I’d like to see most. We are not exactly sure where we are heading but we do know we will leave in October for about 5-6 months and either go see Africa or the south of France. Yeah.

We will keep you updated.

Sound of the day: rage against the machine - Clear the lane

Keeping it real…

Where were you last night…?

I’m feeling lucky.

Thoughts are crossing my mind and I’ve got the feeling the world is going nuts. Question of the day: Will it affect me?

Mmh, I guess I’ll never know. It seems to depend on what I’m looking or searching for in life. The concept of total happiness doesn’t totally work out but all in all I couldn’t care too much. There is always something that saves my day and makes me extremely happy, again and again. Maybe I’m just simple minded…simple minded and very happy with how thing are and how things might turn out.

Remember: The glass is brimful! And, you decide whether you want to drink it or not.

Never, ever stop fighting for your beliefs! Fight for your rights. Fight for more beer. Fight for the society of bird lovers. Fight, just for the sake of it. Fight till you drop. You’ll get up eventually. Fight for things you ever wanted to be in place. Fight for your right to fight. Fight for nothing. Fight windmills. Fight the war. Fight idiots. Fight religions. Fight stupidity. Fight your own restraint. Fight for beaches wherever you want them to be.  Fight till you are happy with what you have achieved. Fight for yourself. 

You pick your weapons. Or don’t.

Fight! Fight, but fight fair.

Sound of the day: The Hives – Here we go again

It could have been you…

…or me.

Over the last few weeks I was pretty close to edge. I had that strange feeling I needed a change and probably a new car. So I took a good look at the Net, visited a few dealers, took test-drives and enjoyed the probably near-future feeling of driving a new shiny vehicle. It didn’t last long.

That feeling faded away, as fast as it appeared. See, I just couldn’t do it. It would have been betrayal of a good friend, someone I know for a pretty long time. My car has character, is a very friendly soul and only 25 years old. How could I leave her? Impossible!

Man, I just couldn’t break her heart and exchange her for someone younger. I couldn’t.

Just for the stats: 380.000 k’s of pure lust, joy and fantastic entertainment.

Your blog sucks.

Some people just don’t know when to stop. They don’t get it and they don’t care. They just talk, talk, talk. They don’t understand anything. They don’t adjust. They don’t cope. Some people know nothing about life, nothing about their surroundings and nothing about history. And they don’t want to. They are not some extreme lefties trying to escape our society or build a better world. They are not your neighbors. They are not nice. They don’t agree with you and if they do, they make sure you don’t notice it. Some people try to be cool and are just so fucking lame. Some people think they are better than you.

If you had one wish right now, what would that be?

I wish some people would just shut the fuck up!
