HobbitCon 2013

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:42:54 +0200

Long time no post, but all I have to say now is: HobbitCon 2013 is just over, I was there, had a blast, will upload photos soon, but first I have to get home tomorrow night (no PC here) and then I have to sort these ~400 pics and edit those I’m going to upload… So I hope you can wait a little longer (if anyone’s interested at all)…

It’s 0.30 am and my neighbors are listening to Kiss’ “Shout It Out Loud”. It’s SO LOUD you can hear it in the entire neighborhood, but I don’t care since it reminds me of Glee Season 1 - so good and already so long ago! :’-)

8: A play about the Fight for Marriage Equality by Dustin Lance Black (Milk)

This is wonderful in the meaning of how it is played (and, obviously, written) and shocking and sad because it’s just unbelievable that this story is true and that they had to take court action in order to make same-sex marriages legal!

Please reblog and share this and make it go viral!

shumbodynamedharry:

Always liked the idea of hydroponic vegetable gardens but this is a way to intersect it with the modern house decor. Windowfarms has been a community for some time now and looks like they are taking the next step. I hope they succeed so I’ll do my part and back it up.

Just A Smile

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 03:28:00 +0100

I just found out about The Candle Project which was initiated by Curt Mega. The goal of this project is to give love to the people around you, whether you know them or not. Each of the originally five - now 3 ½ - weeks, everyone who wants to participate shall find a way to share their love and encourage people to do the same. I know it’s “friends week” at the moment and “strangers week” only starts in two weeks, but I’m going to post my story now, although I mainly connect it to strangers:

Have you noticed that many people you see on their own in public are not smiling? They seem stressed, sad or angry and not enjoying their lives. Of course, you can’t say that for sure but even if they just have a single bad day and are usually smiling, why not help to make this day a better one, as well? I’m a happy person and love to laugh with my friends and family but when I was younger I didn’t care much about those strangers on the train or in the street, because I didn’t know them. However, several years ago I stumbled upon the (originally French) quote “A smile enriches the person who receives it without impoverishing the person who gives it” by Raoul Follereau, and this quote has become my life motto. As children, it seems, we all knew this quote is true. You know how when a small child smiles at you from their stroller, and, even if it’s a child you don’t know, you can’t help but smile back? Well, even if you’re not a small child anymore, you should still continue smiling. There’s another quote by German writer Erich Kästner which, I think, captures this in seven lines:

“Most people discard their childhood just like an old hat.
They forget it like a phone number which is no longer current.
They see their lives like a dry sausage which is eaten bit by bit,
and what has been eaten doesn’t exist anymore.
There was a time when they were children,
Then they grew up, but what are they now?
Only those who grow up and remain children at heart are truly human.”

So whenever I sit on a metro train or take a walk somewhere, I smile at a stranger if they seem to be in need of one. You may wonder why and imagine such a situation yourselves and think, well, if there’d be a stranger smiling at me for no reason it would be a very awkward situation. I don’t know if people think that when I smile at them and I never know how people will react, either, but most of the time they smile back and I know that I have moved them in a way, and that the smile – now on their face – might help them to make it through the day. Think about it on your way to school, to work, to the doctor or the grocery store and give a smile to a complete stranger. You’ll see, it will make you feel good about yourselves, as well.

The newest video by my favorite acapella choir @PJazzile (Perpetuum Jazzile). I love this choir and especially this song! Lyrics in different languages can be viewed here (you can also translate it into your own language if it hasn’t been done yet and they’ll post it on their website). Enjoy the song and video! =D
