A guy came into a bar one day and said to the barman "Give me six double vodkas." The barman says "Wow! you must have had one hell of a day." "Yes, I've just found out my older brother is gay." The next day the same guy came into the bar and asked for the same drinks. When the bartender asked what the problem was today the answer came back..."I've just found out that my younger brother is gay too!"On the third day the guy came into the bar and ordered another six double vodkas. The bartender said "Jesus! Doesn't anybody in your family like women?""Yeah, my wife..."

test this! revisited
test this!
So this is my new "blog-form" just a word document with the tabs set in the same size as the blog, so that the posting doesn't look so "hacked" actually you can disregard this, and read the other ones, if this works, great, if not, chalk it up to another wasted 5 minutes.
Yo!
Another long stretch
Yeah, it has been another long stretch since my last blog, lack of time, and lack of interest are to blame. Blogging is fun in itself, but to use as a daily diary? I never have been the big diary type. A lot of days i really don't have much to say, so i say nothing, ther days i don't have much to say but say it anyways (like today) actually it isn't that so little happens in my life, or that i don't have funny things to tell, but i prefer face to face (or at least telephone) conversation, i guess chatting (i use msn forbusiness "chats" with some of our production sites) is also ok, but this seems pretty one-sided, and although i cant complain about any inferiority complexes, i am also not so in love with myself, to really believe that all that i write about myself is interesting to anyone but my friends or family. Yet when i write something here, i always have the feeling that i am writing to "anyone out there" who bumbles onto my blog (all praise the next blog button- amen) i know when i am blurfing, there are a few things that catch my attention and make me read further, such as funny lists ... top 100 things I... and sometimes rants, sometimes a story or jokes, i also like the blogs with pictures, but to tell you the truth dear fellow blurfer, i really don't want anyone out there to necessarily know what my family or myself looks like. So anyways, since I don't have much to say, I'll say this in conclusion....
YO!

long time no blog
.... yeah it has been quite awhile, i checked up my my blogs, and that of my sister, and then i blurfed a bit. strange, this time i kept comimng back to blogs i had just viewed minutes before...... ponder...... life goes on. my kids got me the book "Eragon" for fathers day, it was pretty good, I didnt realise it was a trilogy, until i was at the last twenty or thirty pages, and said... "hey, so far no climax, in fact far from it" the my wife told me, that my daughter knew that already ( she is reading it as well, but naturally in german) now i have two series that i have started, and will probably have to order the next books thro amazon. the book stores in ulm are poorly stocked with english lituatur, mostly just the newest best-sellers and "big names". well it is starting to turn warm (now and then) spring/summer is comming (about time) the concerts are starting up, we dont get alot of the "big" bands over here since 9/11, but some thing are really good, the next month and a half we will be pretty busy, here is our itenerary, if you dont know these guys, dont feel bad....
farin urlaub (singer from die ärzte)
willy deville (singer from mink deville)
maidaiko aska-gumi (trad. jap. drummers)
.. and we will see who else pops up this season, that isnt a bad start. i already (legaly) downloaded the first single from the foo fighters new album, sounds good, cant wait till i can (legally) buy it. what else? yeah, i went to an english speaking"stammtisch" a stammtisch is a regularly reacuring meeting, usualy in the same bar/cafe, usualy at the same table, but in this case they change resturants/bar/cafe every so often, so that the people can try new places. it was cool, i posted it on http://americans-in-ulm.blogspot.com/ before hand, and when i am thru here i will write a small piece for that as well. i wanted to spread the word about it a bit, but so far, dawn, who organises it, hasnt written so i dont her e-mail, as soon as i do, i hope to get more traffic. well maybe i can post more tomorrow.Yo!
