Still receiving charming texts

I am still receiving charming texts, even though we have slept together several times by now. So, he is still around, always nice and always diplomatic. He said You are special and I am happy when I am dancing with you, on the dancefloor or in d#=+, u seducer....I am sinking deeper an deeper into something I am scared of, I think.

Kerkeling ueber Humor

"Eigentlich ist Humor doch nichts anderes als das Verhindern von Eskalation. Ein Ventil. Wer von Herzen lacht, signalisiert: ich bin nicht gefaehrlich." (Hape Kerkeling in Ich bin dann mal weg. Meine Reise auf dem Jakobsweg. Muenchen: Pieper, 2006.)

How everything started on 12th October 2010

After 2 years, hours of dancing, thousands of smiles and touches exchanged, he kissed me. And I gave in.
I guess, everybody knows what this is about. A man, entering my life. yes. I was not really expecting nor looking for anything whatsoever. :) :)

Final Paragraph of "Shantaram"

"For this is what we do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl and smile of the world once more. Think. Act. Feel. Add our little consequence to the tides of good and evil that flood and drain the world. Drag our shadowed crosses into the hope of another night. Push our brave hearts into the promise of a new day. With love: the passionate search for a truth other than our own. With longing: the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate keeps waiting, we live on. God help us. We live on."

Well, this is the last five lines of Gregory David Roberts' Shantaram, meaning Man of God's Peace. (London: Abacus, 2004)

Wow. Take a deep breath now.

Sweets from All Over the World. Hmmmm

This one was from Uruguy....

Societies and Fulfilling Dreams

"When societies set things up so the only way people can achieve their dreams is to go outside the law, it automatically loses any opportunity to control the chain reaction. "(from Val McDermid's Blue Genes, 1996)

Eurozone in 'Different Light'

Hape Kerkeling schreibt in seinem Buch Ich bin dann mal weg. Meine Reise auf dem Jakobsweg. (Muenchen: Pieper, 2006, p. 62):

"Ein spanischer Koenig hat mal etwas gesagt, woran ich heute viel denken muss:
In Italienisch singt man,
in Englisch dichtet man,
in Deutsch verhandelt man,
in Franzoesisch liebt man,
und in Spanisch betet man."

Ahhh, wie poetisch.....

Information the British vs American Way

"If I had to pick one thing that demonstrates the key differences between the UK and the USA, it would be their attitudes to information. Americans get everything unless there's a damn good reason why not. Brits get nothing unless a High Court judge and an Act of Parliament have said there's a damn good reason why we should." (from Val McDermid's Blue Genes, 1996) (Picture: Amazon.co.uk)

The Welsh

"Call me a racist, but when it comes to the Welsh, I immediately summon my irregular verb theory of life. [...] And in my considered opinion, the Welsh are a humourless, clannish bunch whose contribution to the sum total of human happiness is on the negative side of the ledger." (Val McDermid's Blue Genes, 1996)
