Kitty anyone?

These little cuties are a bit lost in our garden... they fear people so much but slowly I'm gaining their trust... If anyone wants to take one in... please do let me know, because I'll have to take them to an animal shelter. Loki doesn't like to share me or his domain.

Offline

Since my brother is moving out today, he's taking our internet account with him. We ordered a new connection already, but it'll take a while before they come over to install it. I don't know exactly how long I'll be offline for but until then my blog won't be updated as easily.

Day Tripping

My trip to Germany has been booked. At least my sleeping facilities have been. Now all I have to do is plan my transport :) It takes so much preparation just to see a country! But I'm enjoying it. it'll be such an experience in September. I take of for Dortmund August 30th and head back home from Berlin on September 16th. Other cities I'll take on are Heidelberg and Dresden.

I hope to be able to meet up with some German people passing through these cities. I've been talking to some people about meeting up, so it'll happen, yet it's all still vague. Oh well, another two months and I'm off on vacation ;)

Nicht nur ein Pokal

I'm not that much a fan of football. But this last few months have put the sport into a different spotlight because of a German singer/songwriter I know. He wrote a hymn in 2006 about what football actually means to the fans around the world. This year he finally took it to the studio and recorded it. Usually he sings in English, but for this song he chose to sing in German. It sounds exactly like it should and is so different from other hymns concerning the European Championship.

It's a song made by Jedermann for all the people. (Ein Lied von Jedermann für jedermann.)

Good luck Mannschaft ;)

Last week I revised my whole site. Click here to go have a look.

In other news today: does anyone know what to do with a lost pregnant cat that turns up in your backyard? And what do you do when she brings a litter of another cat with her?

Happy days

Everybody dreams of a happy future. Each and every dream differs from person to person. One thing remains the same. We would all like to be loved. If you are black or white, a muslim,a jew, a buddhist or a christian, if you're African, Asian or American, if you're conservative or progressive... you feel the need to be loved. In order to be happy, you need someone or something to confirm all good in your life.

Yet, feeling loved doesn't always mean the same thing. Not everyone dreams of a house in the suburbs, married with 2.4 children. Some people do think getting a family of their own can solve so many problems. I don't think it will if you're not secure enough to be happy without it as well. By this I mean you have to realise what you have to offer someone before you are really capable of keeping a love going. To a child there's nothing worse than two parents who grow apart and won't even talk to eachother anymore. In this world divorces aren't all that strange a thing anymore. The most important thing children of divorcees need to know is that both their parents love them unconditionally. It might be so much worse living in a home where the parents argue all the time than having divorced parents who get along just fine even if it is just for the sake of their children.

Yet, having happily married parents as a child and a grown up doesn't mean that you are secure enough to go out into the world and realise the same happiness so easily. A lot of people seem to think that you need a relationship and attention to be actually happy. If you can't be a secure person on your own, will you make a relationship work out?

Getting to know one's self isn't always easy. Life doesn't always hold the picture perfect future for us. A lot of turmoil will happen in about everyone's life sooner or later.

At this moment I am as happy with how my life turned out as I can be. I welcome positive change anytime and if a downfall happens... I will read this post again, remember how good I have it in my life, with a loving family and friends and I will not stay stuck in a rut.

Seed of Rock

It was fun getting the chance to rehearse again this week. After two weeks of silence due to the exams of our front man, we finally got back together to practice some songs. We all had our little rustinesses but there were some successes as well :) I was glad to get the chance to practice my singing again.

We also had a great time posing for the camera, just to show off our new drummer. It goes to show age is only temporary :D


Summer is coming, so we'll have less opportunities for things like this, which is kinda sad. Yet summer promises to be a busy time no matter what.
