appreciation

markus — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:50:51 +0000

in 2005, i spent a little over three months exploring the “far far away”, and in the process i learned to appreciate even more the place i call home.

i think i may have to try and regain this sense of appreciation.

new year, new problems?

if things are going to be like they seem now, it’s going to be an exhausting new year. :-\

christmas time

markus — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 05:29:04 +0000

one of these days, i’m going to try and find a way to make christmas time NOT be the most stressful time of the year.
it doesn’t help that it’s the choir high season.

2 minutes past midnight

markus — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 21:33:21 +0000

i had to put the handbrake on today.
rather than “5 minutes to midnight”, it was “2 minutes past midnight”.
as much as i hate to not deliver what i’ve promised, i do feel relieved now.

memo to self: remember this for next time.

dido quote

markus — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 20:57:23 +0000

quite fitting, at the moment:

try to remind myself that i was happy here
before i knew that i could get on a plane and fly away
from the road where the cars never stop going through the night
to a life where i can watch the sunset
i don’t have time
i don’t have time

…i’m not even gone yet.

wollte aufstehn, komm nicht aus dem bett

markus — Sun, 11 May 2008 22:44:07 +0000

spür ein zittern, spür es seit tagen.
wollte aufstehn, komm nicht aus dem bett.
und ich frage mich wieso seit jahren
es viel zu viele stunden gab, in denen nichts passiert ist.

overlap

markus — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 23:27:46 +0000

i ran into tom this afternoon.
i either hadn’t seen him in more than a week, or it was too short for me to remember.

there was a 30-second-overlap in spacetime: he had to catch his bus, i just got off mine and was walking home. we had a short “conversation” while walking in opposite directions, which lasted until we were so distant that talking loudly became shouting.

it seems sad, considering that we’re brothers and live nextdoor…
