#232: RIP UDO

A Great and I mean really big is gone. Udo Jürgens and while I'm still on the way home, I get both on Facebook, WhatsApp and also call the news, that Udo died and what was lucky I still be at his last concert. Parallel I went to youtube this song “1000 Annual One Day”, as this is my favorite song by Udo Jürgens and touched me to the deepest of my ego.

I have seen his last concert, been there, I felt, that Jürgens would prefer to tip over on stage or shortly thereafter. He gave everything, matter, whether a slip of the tongue was there or not. With 80 Years, that is probably allowed. Also, that after his mandatory bathrobe (I do not need the yes, but probably would the rest of the media landscape cry) his “Senior Citizens”jeans attracted and still prances around the stage, that's all with 80 Allowed years. Because Udo Jürgens is easy and pulled both young and old alike.

Jung therefore, because I remember, my princess with delicate 3 Years naked her keyboard in the atrium to the slide pulled, for there “But please with cream” to sing. Old therefore, because my granny with 66 (shortly before the cancer it with 67 defeated) still thought, now begins her life but only to. Thanks for linking music, it makes us all across companies possible in the disco with Greek wine swaying together to sing. Who showed us, that we are all somewhere in a “honorable House” live and live. And the dream of New York, Hawaii and San Francisco should be to live if only on TV via universe and Co.

For me, Udo Jürgens was not only childhood memory and I want to say thank you and now my “not available” Stamping wary of humility. THANK YOU!

#231: Write to

I know the concept of cover letters so only from the stories my grandmother and my father, especially when it comes to local shops Kreisler, Butcher or baker went. My own experience with a Kreisler were rather poor and were especially at a time, when I was still in school (Lower school) went there and bought my Naschsackerln or rolls had. In my memory remained, that the owners were always quite grumpy to us children.

Not so Mr. Amon – Butchers in 11. District in Neugebäude Castle – who let me write the same as the first customer. I had not added enough cash with, I had left forward, that there are a Debit card. Unfortunately, the mobile POS was just the driver of the catering services on the road and thus not accessible for me. To my question, where the next ATM is, said Mr. Amon, but that it is no problem, if i pay the next time. That was a very strange feeling, this trust, which he so into me – its customers – continued. And I was all the more unpleasant, and I offered to transfer to it, let me trigger … And yet, he assured me, that it would be really okay for him.

It is an appreciation, unfortunately in speed, in which we are traveling, often goes. In addition, its products are great, namely the best Kabanossi of all of Vienna (even less expensively than the supermarket and homemade). He smokes and selcht we ourselves also. Also, what more could you want?!

#229: My Advent wreath

this year is so beautiful. This is on me, one could say. Maybe it's the diameter of well 60 cm, on my way binding (Combination of wire and connectors), or the combination of Seidenföhre, Ivy, Conifers and pine branches. But there are probably my hand-drawn stick candles from Norway. In wonderful taupe / nude and rosé and a price, made me falter briefly.

Only when plugging I had my problems. Because the candles were so beautiful and damned expensive, It was, of course, the goal is to get them as gently as possible on the Advent wreath. Was the lower surface of the candle 1 EUR size and intricacy of this candle went 40-50 cm up. 2 Men were thwarted by the heated wire and inserting into the candle. Was probably the ratio candle-price Hyperventilierenmeinerseits and large hands. So I took the whole thing in his hand and to candle 3 Everything went wonderfully … At the last candle I was probably too euphoric and broke at the bottom of a small piece of. What the H. and he did not discourage the BLACK!!!! took hot wire, my TAUPE!!!to cement-colored candle (because when the wax melts, then we Shut it …).

Now I have black spots on my candle wax, but screwed, so you can not see. But I also had the most wonderful moment of laughter this Christmas wreath tying with a wonderful abdominal muscles. That's why my Advent wreath is so beautiful, He is the, what should be this season: a collective product of a lot of love, Laughter, Togetherness and fun!

Cycle: Heroes of today

The G. does not give up and I admire. Not only, to face the shit, Fuxxing battling cancer, she is fighting to bone, the liver and lung, and not tolerated, that their two teenage children should soon be without a mother.

Nothing in life is easy, and certainly not children, coming straight from high school, let puberty felt hoch2 experience. But the G. makes it super and wants for their children above all else: a daily, the site has for the woe-Wechens of growing up.

The aging of it unfortunately brings with it, that we place ourselves on being in love, Separations, In love and separations on topics we talk Diseases. And while for some “Little things” are, it is for other cancers.

Deleuze speaks of, that it is in the arts matter, let them be sustainable, to be defined as art, by being materialized and creates sensation blocks. "What has retained, receives, the object or work of art, is a sensation block, that is, a compound, a composition of percepts and affects. "(What is Philosophy / Deleuze) A task, which will only become aware of, when we are confronted with the finiteness of life. But the G. makes it all right, it is that, which it passes on to their children.

#228: Do they know … in bloody Deutsch

I have just completed the Band Aid versions of “Do they know it’s Christmas time” considered both in the New England by Bob Geldof, as well as the German version directed by and starring Campino. And has even surprised me about my German version much better liked than the English re-recording. Not only, that the German voices and convince own character, the interpretation was authentic.

Which I do not could, was the opening sequence in two videos, where a woman (dead?) has carried out of their own filth. What image will here give Mr. Geldof? It affects more than just down from the top. So I can more than understand the criticism of Mr Geldof.

But really hardcore yesterday was just a Christmas song in German … “Last year at Christmas I gave you my heart. But the very next day you gave it away again. To save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special this year …” and it was really traumarisierend, as there have been people, which could sing along. Apparently I was until yesterday the Christmas happiness hold …

#227: Decision Making – how it works in theory

We say yes to all of us very happy, that we are rational people and if we are to make decisions, we shall use all possible factors, draw us lists with Prior- and disadvantages, give us an overview and go in the best case in the Deep Search. Particularly, when it comes to really important decisions.

The theory, that the rational person makes the decision with the greatest expected benefit for him. Yes ganz kap. And who is really serious and 2 Choices has with each 3 possible outcomes, should from now on please use this formula. To be filled with the Zahlenerwerten the expected outputs and results.

I(L(p,P,N))= p x u(P) + (1-p) x u(N)
and eu (L(q,H,N)) = q x u(H) + (1-q) x u(N)

In addition to companies also quite apply in the private sector, particularly, when a programmed Excel (who feels always addressed) has available and the values ​​are already planned and predictable. For all other (like me) Thank God there are theories such as the Fast, Slow Thinking (Recommended Kahneman very). In particular, the Fast Thinking is an intuitive decisions, which we subsequently been foist rational reasons almost.

A wonderful test for all, sometimes standing between two decisions (for example,. Children and Partners, what should be there for dinner). Flip a coin, defining the sides advance. Lie on the back of the hand and then see, how to (the other) reacts, were deciding if the side is revealed. Where it is then not a question of sticking to the decision, but rather to recognize, that the subconscious mind knows, was es will. What also does not mean, that it is the right decision.

#226: I've learned something today

If you like sitting together with friends and drinking a beer or two and we talk very openly about God and the world, comes the conversation at some point to the alleged urination. Just Beer is a driving factor here, not because of the alcohol.

And so we found, especially the women in the Round, that unfortunately “always” so is, that although it was on the toilet before leaving the premises, it is a few hundred meters further back so far, and wife again – namely really urgent – must. And in the best case, there is then the way a hotel in the woman quickly runs into or …
There is a hand toilet. Apparently at least. In my Google search first, I could find no evidence. But my friend knows a woman, has something. So I searched further and am about them!. On Amazon you can find the Ladybag on the go. A mobile disposable loo with 32 consistently positive customer reviews. No Hinhockerln between two cars more, no prancing Einbeintanzen and imagining of “I do not have anyway.”. The Internet has it all but I really wanted it but not know exactly. (Fucking female curiosity)

#225: Caruso

On the radio it has with piano played today Billy Joel Man and in that moment, I felt transported back in time. I could see the little bar, see the flipper in the corner and Hari behind the bar. The Music of Billy Joel, Queen, U2 or The Rocky Horror Picture Show, hear and taste the peach or Fernet directly. And all of a sudden I felt the need after a long day, all the ordinary and non-ordinary stress and shortcomings, return to this bar.

The Caruso has long been my second home. With 16 Years, it was my first escape of known paths, an immersion in a world of adults and the possibility of hiding from everyday life. Although many were of course older than me, I never felt excluded or out of place, the common love for music and the bar have them disappear the barrier of age.

Today I understand this desire to come to a place, which is outside of everyday life and yet feels like a welcome, the better, because there are simply days, which are not intended to finish at home. And after the Piano Man, I note, that I lack a Caruso.

#224: Sleep

Now I've heard an interesting contribution to sleep. If we cut him 7 Sleep hours, then we wake 28 On time! The only, If we 3 Minutes are awake, then it's not happening for us, because we no longer remember. And when we remember, we were more than 3 Waking minutes.

This means, BY SLEEP is an illusion to which I am the last 5 Years had nothing clamped. What actually is not bad, that it is not possible for me, realistically, staying asleep. My kids watch so even more often than 28 On time, which in turn explain the open eyes of the Princess, if they had sometimes seen me in my sleep (what kind of scary – much – looked) and the Jr. at least 1 x per night for more than 3 Minutes is blithely, to wake me up – Greater than 3 Minutes – so I can get him. But otherwise I fall asleep almost immediately and continues to have no real problem with falling asleep and according to the post I thus suffer from insomnia NO. What is in turn facilitating.

It shows me, that these ideas running in my head. I'm curious, if I'm going to be really early rested fitter and more tomorrow, now that I know the scientific knowledge of sleep. What I'm wondering is, however,, if I'm going to buy me an alarm clock with Aufwachlicht, because with a clever production of cortisol also want to wake up and work better Muntersein.

#221: Friends you can choose

And family does not. I have taken it well with both. On the weekend we celebrated the 5th birthday of Pam-Pam. And with Picnic Blanket, Prosecco, Schnitzerln, Himbeersaft, Roast beef meat and camisole etc.. on the Jesuits in the Prater. There were 11 Children, more parents and adults and even 2 young adults, which accepted the invitation. The sun was shining and the kids had played in the finest baby rib Unterleiberl manner Soccer. I can not be more grateful for this wonderful day, because not only, that we had marvelous weather, we have eaten and drunk almost all. A 10 Clock as we walked out our front door, I felt just like my balkanesischen roots from each crate and cooler (3 Boxes, 2 Coolers) out cheered. Locally, we has the best table and spread us out in accordance.

We played football. Men were injured (as it should be with the appropriate forward role and Primal Scream). Children fought and got along. Parents slept, chatted and enjoyed the sun.

I am grateful for these friends, whose children are the friends of my two children (big and small!). You've made this day a wonderful experience.
