Alternative Blog

I became a victim of Microsoftism and registered for an M$N Space :-(. I know that I suck for this, but most of the people I know use MSN spaces, therefore, it was a logical choice to get my own... I will try to update both blogs at the same time, see whether I can :-).
Here is the link, by the way... surprise, surprise, the name of the new blog is Pure Vernunft darf niemals siegen! ;-).

I quit

I am trying to quit smoking!! Massive, I know, since most of you probably only know me as a strong smoker. I've wanted to quit for a while but somehow never had the guts to pull it off.
So on Saturday morning, when I woke up and had this cough again (as almost every morning in the last... hmmm.... 5 years?), I decided I didn't want that anymore. This had to stop, I was sick of it. So, that morning, I decided to just give up smoking.
So far, I'm into my 3rd smoke-free day. It's not really getting easier, as my body is constantly begging for nicotine. The hardest thing is probably getting rid of the habbit. Like the cigarette after a meal, the cigarette after work, the break-cigarette ;-).
Anyhow, up until now I have managed. I am trying to take it one day at a time. I've managed 2 days, trying to make it 3, then maybe 4, 5 until I hopefully stop thinking about smoking one day ;-).
Peace out!

Last.FM

I just got a Last.FM account :-). Don't know what it is? Check it out here: AlMD's User Page - Last.fm.
Music you listen to is documented here, it's a great way to find new artists, new music, new people!
Gotta get back to researching for the master thesis now though :-/.

Eels - Hey Man

A nice song to get the mind off of things and just think about all the good things that have happened in one's life :-)

"Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor
And cry your guts out till you got no more
Hey man - now you're really living

Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl
Made you feel like it's not such a bad world
Hey man - now you're really living

Now you're really giving everything
And you're really getting all you gave
Now you're really living what
This life is all about

Well i just saw the sun rise over the hill
Never used to give me much of a thrill
But hey man - now I'm really living

Do you know what it's like to care too much
'bout someone that you're never gonna get to touch
Hey man - now you're really living

Have you ever sat down in the fresh cut grass
And thought about the moment and when it will pass
Hey man - now you're really living

Now you're really giving everything
And you're really getting all you gave
Now you're really living what
This life is all about

Now what would you say if i told you that
Everyone thinks you're a crazy old cat
Hey man - now you're really living

Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor
And cry your guts out 'til you got no more
Hey man - now you're really living

Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl
Made you feel like it's not such a bad world
Hey man - now you're really living

People sing!
Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor
And cry your guts out 'til you got no more
Hey man - now you're really living

Just saw the sun rise over the hill
Never used to give me much of a thrill
But hey man - now i'm really living"

Staind - Epiphany

"Your words, they make just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
And the words just disappear...

...Cuz it's always raining in my head
...
Forget all the things i should have said...

So i speak to you in riddles
Cuz my words get in my way
I smoke the whole thing to my head

And feel it wash away...
...Cuz i can't take anymore of this...
...I wanna come apart...
...And did myself a little hole...
...Inside your precious heart...

Cuz it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things i should have said

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention
That i always try to hide

...Cuz i talk to you like children...
...Though i don't know how i feel...
...But i know i'll do the right thing...
...If the right thing isn't fear...

Cuz its always raining in my head
Forget all the things i should have said"
