Me’s back on air using my newly acquired iPhone. Typing is still a bit slow, but I’m working on getting better. Hopefully this will give me a chance to keep posting more regularly… Something that gets quite difficult if your timetable gets as cluttered as mine.
I’m also working on a new theme which is going to be launched as soon as I finish this semester’s examinations. Until then you got to bear with what wordpress.com is leaving me with right now.
Did someone notice that new category? No?
Anyways: there is a new one. Edi. For all those who dislike the other stuff (for example probably useless links on freaky internet content) and just want to know what goes on in Scotland’s supposed heart.
Staring me.
… like a continuous-flow water heater. In other words: I got the squits.
For those who read the feed. I changed the theme. Nothing spectacular. I just dismissed the opulent theme change for some weeks for I’m leaving Stuttgart in a few weeks and go on moving. And I won’t find the time to do some strict disciplined drawing, inking and coding sessions during this time.
So. Make aquaintaince with Hemingway. Ernest Hemingway.
…written by my humble self on Stuttgart-Blog.net concerning a demonstration against dust pollution.
I moved. To WordPress. Hey, yeah, I know WordPress is the most ordinary, boring and unfreakyshest way to do a blog. But hey, it’s simple. And I must admit: you can do more with their layouts than one might think. I am on the verge of saying, WordPress is the Mac of Blogs, but… nah, that would mean that those guys would stop copying and inventing some own ideas.
Nevertheless, they are very good at merging existing ones and fifteen bucks a year isn’t to much.
Yeap. I admit. I started paying for things. Nothing I am very proud of, but the times of second rate things are over. As for blogger, as for me. And since there where some rumors about google making its users paying of for all those fabulous services even in real stuff, I thought that sometimes a change could set free some new creativity.
The design by the way is quite Hemmingwayesque still, although the theme I picked is named ‘White as Milk’. The Hemmingway one looked quite kool but would not work with my del.ico.us bookmarks so I sacked it. There will follow something more opulent. In time.
Once upon a time. OK, OK, it is really a little bit late, but hey, I know that nobody really wrote about it so I think it does not really matter, when I am going to write about it, right?
Well, OK then. Some time ago the local liberals here announced a panel discussion about “how much islam is good for germany”. Over the mailinglist of the Joung Socialists I got the info and of course I could not manage not to go there. 
The liberals of Stuttgart, especially those of the quarter Cannstatt already have something you may call popularity. Though it tends to have a certain haut goutte. The so called “Circle of Canstatt” was a group of nationalistic liberals who constituted themselves after a visit of Jörg Haider, founder of the nationalistic FPÖ in Austria, in 2003. They had connections to all important neonazi parties of Germany and demanded the attention of the German Verfassungschutz. Well, soon after that the liberals threw them out.
However, those liberals now announced the mentioned panel. First of all: the avarange age laid around 70 years. The opinions, too. No, that would be too polemic. In fact, the old chums sounded like a pack of disillusioned youngsters and the avarange age would have been higher without all those Joung Socialist members. They must have been walking around with great ideas about tolerance and liberality, open-mindedness and individuality. Ideas about freedom, peace and happiness. Until they were confronted with something that actually demanded tolerance, open-mindedness and liberality: people with other ideas. Another culture. Another religion. Turkish people.
And suddenly they must have been realizing, that everything they believed in was not their belief. It was merely their intention. It was just something that had sounded okey, maybe even something they believed in, when they were twenty – although that would have meant, that some of them were in opposition to the Nazis back then. Usually people experiencing this have one thing in common: they do a complete turn-around. Which they did.
Now the front line in discussion lead between a very dishomogeneous group of “modern” thinkers, who pleaded for exactly the values the other side claimed to stand for. The fact that only the smallest newspaper accounted for this event does not cast a brilliant shine on the local journalists. Of course, it was not such a big event. But some of them are liberal party members. And even a neo-liberal party should care about this. That it does not is not a sign of dignity. It is a shameful lack of interest.
I promised I would and I did. Mh. Somehow I think I heard this before, but it may als be that my ulmate genious derived this beautiful sentence out of nothing [grin.]
However, you better be thankful for beeing able to read this, for I am sitting here completely drugged to hold down the immense headache that plays a very unharmonic tune inside my brainpan. And no, I did NOT participate in a orgy, however you think of me.
Howsover, I like those days, when life likes to play hazard with me and sends some wonderful headache just when I finally did my exams and long for some distraction. Well, now my whole mental energy is tracted to my cerebral innards. Marvelous, indeed.
