What for most People seems to be a pretty straightforward answer is a bit of a hustle for me. For other people probably too, it just looks like they know what they want to blog about. Major topics in owns life for example. <br />
<br />
So my life. Honestly it is just stressed out at the moment. I might have been overly optimistic when I thought it´s a good idea to study 3 semesters at once. Give or take Latin as a new-to-learn language... Still we only know where our limits when we are pushed to our limits. Where would the fun in life be otherwise?<br />
<br />
I don´t complain thou, in a strange way I enjoy it. At least I hope that I don´t complain too much, others might argue different here. It´s a good feeling when you look at what you´ve accomplished. <br />
<br />
In other news. I still have that catastrophic girl in my life. While time is of the essence and we definitely have not enough of it I still enjoy the time´s given. It shortens my free time but its time being free. Guess I can´t really complain about that.<br />
<br />
So my life in short, I work a lot for university, watch Star Trek DS9 and do a puzzle in the meantime. Maybe next time I find something more thrilling to talk about.<br />
<br />
Till then<br />

<br /><br />
"Girls, they cause all the trouble" Strictly speaking this is not true, I know a hell of a lot of boys (or grown ups, as we don´t want to be called boys, it sounds so immature and gives away our true nature) who are more trouble at times than they are worth. In this particular situation however, I agree with the words of my father. Girls!<br />
<br /><br />
Last Sunday, I started an 'operation' (neat word for I have no plan but I think I have a goal) to get a social life. Everybody else seems to want to get one. This is already the second weekend I have to spend alone, while my flat mates travel through Germany. Mostly with beer it seems at times ;) So, in order to not be all alone, I went out into the strange place people call the 'real world'. It was fun. I danced into the beginning of the month, got drunk and walk at the water side while talking about female characters in books. Not all necessarily in short proximity of time to one another.<br />
<br /><br />
What is funny however, is that on Tuesday before that weekend, where I had not plans of having a social life, I met a girl and you all know how things go then. No not that! We went to the theatre, a great adaption of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. I really love that story and enjoyed the play very much. Not only because of the good company. Strangly enough, on days like that it always rains. Guess it is just gods humour.<br />
<br /><br />
Honestly I don´t know where this will take me (and maybe her) in the long run. It is complicated, probably the only reasonable thing I learned from facebook. You don´t always form bonds, relationships, friendship and other kinds of ships (really why ships?) in a matter of hours or days. Weeks can past, even months, without any real developments. Human relations are complicated processes, that tend to annoy the crap out of everybody. Probably only a psychologist would claim he has any idea how they really work. <br />
<br /><br />
I´m drifting off. My point is (as stated above) that don´t overthink your relations. Give them time to prosper like plants. Repair them like muesli bowls when they fall down (obviously not plastic ones) and don´t just throw them away. Give them a bit of time and effort. <br />
<br /><br />
Take life one step at a time.<br />

I just completely forgot I owned it in the first place. So don´t expect regular updates, as I don´t think I earned that trust, yet hopefully. Still, a lot has changed and as everybody else seems to have his own personal online diary, why not continue with it myself. If people are interested in reading about my life alright with me.<br />
<br /><br />
Not that you will find my deep soul here, well you do but it´s under the surface of my posts. So you would have to interpret and analyse it. Don´t do it, you probably get somewhere great but not to my inner kingdom. This is not my diary, I got one and it serves me great for getting my head clean. No need for an Online one, where privacy is a word without any meaning whatsoever. Still, I guess when talking about anything I will relate it to my own life and if you want to know what I had for breakfast your better of heading towards twitter. I am on there now, thanks to my flatmates.<br />
<br /><br />
Jeah I know, I got flatmates, I actually moved since my last post. I think there was a hint in earlier ones that I wanted to swap to the university of Kiel. Well it worked, not 100% as I wanted it to but that's life alright. Would be boring if everything turned out the way you want it to. Where would the obstacles be? The difficulties? Friends and we can continue this metaphorical line till I run out of words. Which at this point I have, because what do one write now?<br />
<br /><br />
I guess (after having a cup of tea - delicious!) that it is a good idea to talk about what I want this blog to be. Sadly I don´t have the slightest clue. Other peoples blogs deal with their lives, problems, pictures and what not. I mainly use the blog as a training ground for writing English. Still with time to come I guess that's exactly what I will do. Write about topics. No idea what they will be, so if you want my opinion on something feel free to tell me. <br />
<br /><br />
Guess that's all for now, more will follow in time.<br />

<br />
it has been a while since you heard from me, your totally awesome SkyLuke. Totally sorry for that, it isn´t really that I didn´t had the time, just that I spent the time in other places then this blog. Seems paradox, I created this blog to share my great experiences (even the not so great or nice ones, after all they will be great some day, as it was these that allowed me to grow). So I hope you accept my apology and continue to read about my life.<br />
<br />
So there have been a great load of great things that happened since my last post. I went to Kiel (for Study purpose) and I went home to meet up with my lovely family. I had great parties for a good friend moving away and a nice birthday (happy birthday to me^^). Nothing more really to say, there is a lot on my mind but this is really the platform to announce what goes on in my head (after all some of you might want to get me into hospital afterwards^^).<br />
<br />Still I think in the days to come you will find some thoughts of mine here in the Internet.<br />
<br />
All for now, but not for ever ;)<br /><br />Your awesome SkyLukeSkyLukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16628837864301244284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5305395292731743041.post-27282640692988545602014-06-04T23:26:00.001+02:002014-06-05T10:48:31.420+02:00<h2>
Living in the Internet</h2>
<br />
Hey guys, today was a rather special day as me and some friends of mine decided to start a You Tube-Channel called <b>"Cantina Gamers".</b> <br />
( <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCKiGNjdpQ7nNmU4ftqJ4Zg">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCKiGNjdpQ7nNmU4ftqJ4Zg</a> ). Check it out if your intrested in people with no life playing games (probably a LOT of Star Wars, as we are nerds and proud of it) on the computer and having no social life whatsoever. No, of course that isn´t completely true, it would be hard to have no social life and in a sense you could argue that streaming and having fun in the Internet (while playing games, don´t get me wrong!!!) is a new form of social life.<br />
<br />
For the purpose of this post I will call this <i>i-social life</i>. Funny how everything with an 'i' in front of it sounds like some sort of cool apple product. Totally not worth the cost but so prestigious that everybody would love to have one. I´m drifting off...<br />
<br />
My point really is, in our new modern world a lot of people are of the opinion that 'back to the roots' is the answer to deal with a super quick, global system of information sharing that changed our lives in ways we could have never dreamt off in the past. 30 years ago people talk to one another to meet, today we can do this on WhatsApp (I personally don´t have it but my mum uses it for that purpose). Not being on facebook was a real problem for a friend of mine as everybody just forgot her when parties were being planned. Without an e-mail-address you probably couldn´t even survive in the western world. Nothing new I´m telling you there, still I like to remind people how much time we spent every day in an relationship with technology.<br />
<br />
Backing off is no solution, but is having an i-life one? Having a blog and as of today a you tube-channel I would say no, but it helps. We want to show ourselves out into the world, express our feelings and maybe even have the wish to get noticed. In a crowd we want to stand out and that's totally human. Problematic it gets, when people only live in their e-world (e = electronic).<br />
<br />
It is as important to have a e-mail address as it is to go out into nature for a walk and fill your lungs with fresh air. Life is all about balance, if you spent to much of your time outside you will sooner or later loose your ties to society in a sense. If you only spent time with your PC or smart phone, you may have a 10000 friends to talk to, but will be lonelier than the all mighty himself. Meeting people in the Internet is ok, meeting those people in real life (with of course proper security arrangements) is ok but not necessary. Meeting people every day for a drink is ok but so is meeting people only once in a while for a drink. Convention dictates that we need to be around people all the time to be really 'happy' and 'well connected'. This is not true, to be honest I don´t like having people around me every day. I often enjoy being alone or only living online for a day.On the other hand these times alone give me the motivation to meet more people in real life, hanging out with friends or going for a walk down to the sea. If one side gets the upper hand, the other one balances it out. My personal balance so to speak.<br />
<br />
Find the proper balance between this two parts of life and you will be fine. Don´t let others tell you how much time in the Internet is bad for you or how your isolated because you don´t go out enough. Your life will always be your life. Sometimes we forget that and bow down to society. Never do that.<br />

Cause life is winning and letting others win</h2>
<h2>
</h2>
What a strange title you may think? Nowhere is the concept of 'losing' mentioned even if you probably can guess that this post will be the first negative one I will put on the blog. I thought a bit about actually putting it here, but in all honesty it sort of seems right. I won´t create the image of myself always being happy and seeing the best in every situation. I grave to do this, I always try to be awesome by not getting things hit me in the well protected castle I call my heart. Still, I am human and that image would be false. I cry sometimes, I fear sometimes and sometimes I loose the ability to see the best. No heart is safe from this. Never thing for one moment you actually could be safe in your heart, because it always will be a lie. There are just days that hit you like a truck from the beginning and other days where everything goes right and then something tinny goes wrong for you and you feel depressed. Normally the brain hasn´t got a say in this. The later one is what today and part of yesterday is about. I want to stress, I don´t want your sympathy, I don´t want anything from this, I can cope with myself just fine. I just want to write it down here, free for all, and want you to think about it.<br />
<br />
Well today started great, my family left (ok that maybe is a bit sad^^) and I went to catch up on a bit of sleep. Later the evening there was a festival at our university where I wanted to be with some friends. Well I was there and it totally backfired. I don´t know where on the way towards that evening I wanted to just play the game of getting somebody laid. It was just an idea that kicked off, just a bit of fun for some friends. Well maybe a bit more that just fun, maybe I wanted them to be happy. Afterwards you can always name motives for your actions, so let´s just stick with the facts. As you should always lead by example I talked to some girls and actually my first conversation went alright. I got to know her name, she clearly wasn´t uninterested for a flirt. Sadly I lost the momentum and her friend and her went away and later that evening I couldn´t find them to correct my mistake. Well I waited to long and that's fine. Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose. That's alright and I wasn´t to bothered about it. Sadly my later moves didn´t went so well either and so I focused on getting others a partner for the night. You know, giving them the extra mile they need to actually themselves make their move instead of sitting on the bench waiting to be swapped. (I apologise if this metaphor is not so fitting, not a huge football fan). It worked and first I was really happy for the person, then another one followed and in the end even the last of my group got somebody to go home with. Only me left and that puts me down a bit, who wouldn´t be at least a bit sad? Still don´t let it get to close to your heart if your the only one not picked that evening. <i>Sometimes you win, sometimes the others win. </i>Try to be happy for them, next time maybe they will be the one left unpicked. I know it isn´t always easy but give it some effort, cause giving up the next time will not be an option. Believe me and after all at least I can sleep with a lot of space in my bed without an obstacle called human and don´t have to offer someone breakfast. I agree it could be better but it could be a lot worse :)<br />

Cause family is awesome</h2>
<br />
Today was a great day again, not only didn´t I have to go to university but also my mother and my two little brothers came up to my study place for a visit. It´s great to see them all again, as our last meeting was at least two months ago. My brothers continue to grow and I fear in the near future they will stand like a tower above me. We had a great walk at the beach, nice cups of tea and a brilliant sea side dinner in a restaurant. Tomorrow we can all have breakfast together and be grumpy at each other. What better way to start a day.<br />

Cause the Doctor makes it all alright</h2>
<br />
<h3>
<i>(or rather his companions)</i></h3>
<br />
No I´m not ill and no I don´t need a doctor. Well at least not a 'real' doctor, if THE <b>doctor </b><i>(main Character of the Sci-Fi TV Series "Dr. Who" for those of you who don´t know it - check it out it´s awesome!)</i> should cross your way be sure to point him in my direction. Especially if it is 9. Well what have we learnt about me so far? A, I´m a big Sci-Fi fan and B, you have still no clue what I am actually talking about... Don´t worry neither have I, so let´s carry on and see if I can bring my message across.<br />
<br />Well you know sometimes you are just not having the best of days, reasons aside I don´t think that really needs a place on my blog. Just so you know, I myself am fine (no worry) but lately there has been a lot on my mind (negative and positive things). I´m the kind of person who things a lot about every situation, always wanting to explore every possible way before acting. Not always the best way to handle situations, but it works for me and that's fine. Everybody needs his own way to deal with life and mine is over thinking and questioning everything. So don´t expect me to be spontaneous in life, that's a rare sight.<br />
<br />
So today just didn´t life up to my expectations and I didn´t accomplish everything I set out to do. Nothing important really, I guess I am just an perfectionist. Then a good friend, or maybe more than a friend I don´t know, I really like her and we have sort of a special relation to one another <i>(but I probably will talk about this in length another time, so keep sticking in my blog if you want to know- jeah I know sometimes I am cruel). </i><br />
<br />
I really need to stop drifting off... So a good friend always comes round every Tuesday and together we dive into the adventures of Dr. Who, in other words we watch the series. We didn´t really talk a lot about important things and that's fine, there is a time and a place for such stuff and it definitely isn´t while watching TV. We ate something, started watching and cuddled a bit, nothing more <i>(as if that wasn´t enough actually)</i>. It was great, you can forget the world around you and just be taken away by the wave of fiction clashing over you, retreating for a short time from the world and come back refreshed and filled with new powers. I just enjoy it and little things like that, small retreats if you will, are just so much more. In a way they are what keeps my going and let me be so totally awesome I sometimes can´t even believe that's me. So a great thanks to my film-companion today and a toast <i>(at the moment I and a small Martini are having a late night date ^^) </i>to the little things in life! Treasure them, they are awesome!<br />

Cause a good friend is all you need for an awesome day</h2>
<br />
There is only one problem with awesome days like yesterday: the day afterwards always feels sort of incomplete. When you spent a great day just hanging out with friends, living life and having a nice dinner at the riverside, going to university the following day is so normal. So unawesome.<br />
<br />
<i>Damm I really love that word, it has this sounds that makes me feel things I have never experienced before. Well not really, that would be a bit creepy. Still it´s this 'awe', that's sounds like a forgotten battle cry (yeah your right: <b>CRY IT OUT!AWE!!!</b>) and that followed by the 'some' which sounds like you have a great cup of hot cocoa and you just want more. If I ever get the chance I will vote 'awesome' as the most awesome word of the century. Till that time I officially declare it my blog-word and every post hopefully will be filled with AWESOMENESS!</i><br />
<br />
Back to topic... <i>(and away from drifting off, a habit I clearly have)</i><br />
<br />
So summing up, today was a bit boring. I went to university <i>(did I ever mention that I´m a student? Don´t think so. Well know you know and by the way I study German and English to, one distant day, become a teacher - damm I´m doing it again). </i>It was alright, my seminars were fun and insightful, just not so filled with joy. Just a normal day. Still there was this one thing I really looked forward to the entire day. You know, like you looking forward to a nice dessert. Only difference, I expectancy was focused towards my best friend. She is the best mate you can possible have, always ready to listen, to talk and most important to laugh with you. Having someone like her in my life is just a great gift I would never want to miss. At the moment she is at the other end of Germany at a school for here job. Only thanks to Skype <i>(and the technology behind it) </i>we were able to have a conversation where she told me everything about the great time she is having. A part of my actually envies her a bit, her report of the school, and especially the people she newly met there, just sounded great. So we skyped with one another, talked about some books and other things that happened since our last talk.<br />
<br />
In short: It was just awesome talking with her!!! <br />
<br />
You know what also is a great feature or rather a great trait of her? We are best friends and still don´t have to talk every day to one another. I don´t get how some best friends manage something like that. I don´t know about you, but I would find it really exhausting to talk on a everyday basis to somebody, because eventually you are bound to run out of ideas. Even if you don´t <i>(what is possible I know, just rare in my case)</i>, I still love to have these conversations as something special. And for things to be special you just can´t do them on an daily base. That's wouldn´t be special anymore, it would be routine <i>(stating the obvious like it was wisdom. I like it.)</i><br />
<br />
So in conclusion of this post, I just wanted to let you all know what a great friend I have <i>( there are others of course and I´m sure they will follow in the time to come</i>). No really, I just hope everybody got a friend like that. If you have, hold your mind for a second and remember her, maybe even tell her how much you are happy that she is part of your life and that your grateful for it<br />
<br />

<br />
While today definitely was a special day for the EU, this is not what my post will be about. But of course I went to vote, after all somebody has to be responsible for what the politicians are doing.<br />
On that quote I end this matter.<br />
<br />
As you can see in the title, my day was mainly made up by these three b´s and what a lovely day it was! One of the best person I ever had the fortune to know and a very dear friend decided to have a birthday barbecue <i>(another b - awesome!)</i> with a bike tour before that. It just was great, I always enjoy riding my bike through nature and there are not many things so beautiful when you finally arrive at the beach, put down your blanket and enjoy the sun while being in the company of good friends <i>(and total strangers who you still like when you get to know them</i>). I will not get into detail, as that probably be boring towards everybody who wasn´t there and I don´t want people to quite reading my blog because they envy my day. Let´s just say after being at the beach we went to the harbour (a beautifully small one) and continued our great day with a barbecue at the riverside. In the end we packed our things and know I´m lying in my bed, remembering this brilliant day<i> (you noticed ? I didn´t want to use great again, definitely need to have some variety in my choice of words) </i>while drinking a hot chocolate.<br />
<br />
These are the days you always remember when you grow older.<br />
These are the days you look back at, when times get rough.<br />
These are the days where you know what friendship is about.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>These are just awesome days! </b></span></div>
<br />
<br />
So do you have such days? Mind sharing them with me? Would love to know about your experiences where you just did feel so great at the end of the day, that the world seemed alright as it is. Just for that day, maybe only for that moment. Everything is alright.<br />
These are definitely days worthy to be a treasure in our memory.<br />

Introductions are in order</h2>
<br />
Hello dear followers,especially dear friends,<br />
<br />
as till right now, you´re the only ones who have actually visited this blog of mine.<br />
In this case, no Introduction is needed, as you know me and everyone else who will find this blog in the far reaches of the Internet will get to know me with posts to come. Don´t expect any naked women, that's not the sort of blog I´m aiming to be. Don´t expect a blog about all the different sorts of tobacco, I think Sherlock already did a survey on that. This blog simple will be about life, mine in particular, after all it´s my blog :D<br />
<br />
I will talk about things that have happened, things that are happening right now and things that may happen in the future. From Tears to Love, I guess we get everything covered what it means to life in our fast paced world, where we all are like leaves that fall from the sky. Beautiful but not noticed in the crowd of other leaves accompanying us on our way down. One can simply just hope that this will change in the future yet to come and I will do my best to bring this, jeah I guess you can call it believe, out into the world.<br />
<br />
Because we all are fucking awesome (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StTqXEQ2l-Y">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StTqXEQ2l-Y</a> - I just love that film and that song ) and we all deserve to know it.<br />
<br />
So some words from the heart and a bit philosophy to think about. I hope you all will enjoy my blog and if you got themes, ideas or anything else you would like me to talk about, just say so below in the comments.<br />
