Uff, this was fast – 2011 is already over – but what happened this year?

• Somebody new came into my life – so I have to introduce her to all of you 😉 (may take some time)
• There were some small trips to mention: first of all London to meet with my African Family. It was awesome to meet you guys again and I hope we will meet also in 2012. A long weekend in the Harz and some days with Verena in Stuttgart do not really count but Barcelona should be mentioned. We had a very cool week with sun, food, culture and BEACH :). THX to Verena for organizing everything. Hope 2012 will be better concerning traveling.
• My two best friends married and I was the best man of Tobi :).
• World Trip is still in planing but as against last year I plan for 2 people.
• Japan was hidden by a tsunami and Fukushima became similar famous like Tchernobyl. I’m very happy that all my friends from Japan are safe and I wish the county the very best for the future. I have to come back same day, there are to much days I’m missing this place.
• Job changed from PMO to PM and will change again in one week to PM + PL. I think there will be some other changes in 2012 too.
• I bought a mountain bike and started after some years again with badminton. Nevertheless, I have to do more sports in 2012… (New Year’s resolution)

As a conclusion I have to say that 2011 was very different compared with 2010 but most of the problems turn into good. So what should I complain – life is good 🙂

CU in 2012…

Finally a couple of my Barcelona pictures… Hope you get some impressions from this very nice city:

Hey Everybody,

after my FUCKING navigation system drove/drive me crazy there were same good news in my Mailbox. I won the first time a photograph contest :). Topic was HDR Photography – for all NOT nerds: High Dynamic Range Photography – and for all the people who thing now “what the fuck???”: many pictures in different exposure setting combined to one picture… If there are people who have still no Idea of what I’m talking from – just have a look =>

The “Chip” computer Magazin will present the best pictures in the weeks – hope I will get a Link or so… Price was a 64GB High speed Memory Card so I will be able to film with Full HD in the future. Okay I don’t like to film but it would be possible ;).

Hope all of you are okay and you are just were you want to be at X-Mas. I’ll try to post at least my 2011 summary and my barcelona pictures in the next days – if not please hit me…

So have to nice X-Mas and the happy new year wishes are in the next post 😉

Hey guys,

It was so quite and peaceful in my bed, and than the captain of the Queen Mary II decided to honk his FUCKING horn 3 FUCKING times!!! So I’m full of adrenalin and can use the extra Time to write a little bit on the Blog. Yes I know that the pictures from Barcelona still not uploaded – to be honest they are not even chosen… New job is very cool but a also a lot of work. I would like to say that this will become better but with the beginning of 2012 I will lead my first very own project. I’m a lithe bit nervous about this position but this was my goal even if I reached it much faster than I thought. Chances are there for being taken, and if everything gets a little bit too much there is still someone to cover my bag.

So ship left the harbor and I hope I will find back to sleep…

CU and GN8

First 2 pictures from Barcelona…

I have to End this very small post with a very cool quote:

“Everyone I know is getting married or pregnant, I’m just getting awesome!”

to be fast, I describe my last week:

• MO – First day in my new job and I had to organize my first trip
• DI – Get up in the middle of the night, flight to Toulouse, meeting marathon, beer garden
• MI – meeting marathon, flight back to Hamburg over Frankfurt
• DO – my first holidays with Verena, flight to Barcelona over Zürich
• FR – ahhhhhhhhhh no stress

So now we are back from Barcelona (one week) and I’m also back from Toulouse (two days) ;). I hope I can post at least some pictures within one week. so CU

“Steve Jobs told us what we needed before we knew” (Forbes.com)

I will miss your happenings with quotes like “and it’s even thinner…” and “there is one more thing”

Hey everybody,

It seems that stress times never end this year. Nevertheless, I take the chance to keep you a little bit updated. It’s now official… I will change my job within the next (2) weeks… hopefully. It will be still for the same company for the same Airbus department but with a little bit more responsibility (money and people). So in general good new but the whole contract fights are a pain in the ass. Cross your fingers that everything is done soon.

For keeping calm I’m pursuing more and more my new hobby – mountain biking. Last WE I had my first maintain experience. Results:

• Big smile on my face
• I realized that my bike resists more than my nerves, I swear I would have applied the break if there would was the time…
• My skin gets funny colors after some falls
• Next time I disclaim on my click shoes
• It’s not free-climbing but kicks even more…

So hope you all have less stress times…

It’s not neccessary to make any comments on my super sexy outfit. I already know that I look like a model for sports ilustrated… Only problem for a taxi drive in Namibia – where to put my HANDY???

780 days left…

Hey guys,

the report of my death was an exaggeration… but I have to confess that I make myself a little bit scarce. Reasons are easy to find:

WORK:Year, some things are going on in my Job concerning my contract, tasks, surrounding… I cannot go into detail but the whole situation was a pain in the ass – similar to Chris (I will visit you at October MAN). At the moment, there is another quiet face where nobody gets new information and to be honest – I don’t give a shit anymore. => now I’m more relaxed and enjoy airplanes 😉

PARTY: 
Good way to start a weekend is still going to the Reeperbahn and have some fun with friend/colleges. The core Taskforce team consists of 4 guys including myself but gets enlarged by other colleges/friend/girlfriends from time to time. So after almost one year in Hamburg :-0 (what I’m one year here, I have to pack my stuff ;)) – I’m still happy here in north Germany even if I have to adept myself every day anew. Some things which attracted my attention:

• I’m not running anymore if it is raining…
• I thought last week – where is the wind?…
• I’m pretty  sure that I’ll buy a mountain bike… So climbing gets replaced by bicycling but still with mountain 😉
• I’m getting used to navy terms like “steuerbord, backbord…”

On the other hand, some things/behavior  are still the same:

• I’m still greeting people with “servus”!!! (south german expression for hello and goodbye in one word)
• I’m still loving my south german food and hate this fucking sea food.
• I’m still FC Bayern München Fan/Member even if a little part of my heart beats for St. Pauli but only a very little one.
• I’m keeping a little bit of my southern dialect… Kaddong, Bürrooo, heb mal,…
