The other day...

I heard someone in Wal-Mart say:
"How funny would it be, if someone would life in a Wal-Mart!?
...
I mean, you definitely could."

Definitely.

And I think many would think it is not just funny, but a possibly awesome, better life.
That thought is kind of fucked up.

In the spirit of...

... reviving this Blog, I will try to keep up with keeping it somewhat-borderline-as-close-as-it-can-get-to current.
Ramblings included.

So, my new favorite pastime that I discovered "the other day" (isn't it a great saying? THE other day. A specific "the" and a very unspecific "other" and still it gets the message across -> I do not know when but it wasn't too long ago) is listening to Propagandhi songs whilst reading their lyrics and user-interpretations at:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858763041/
(The song that these lyrics and interpretations belong to is this:

This particular song in a way touched me, still a ravaging meat-absorber, and almost made me question my innate consumption of cheap Wal-Mart meat. Almost.
I think everyone should do a little bit of listening to interesting bands while reading the lyrics everyday. It makes a lot more clear and your - other - day more interesting.

The other thing I wanted to talk about goes into a similar way. I read something and then consume a different media-medium with the same name/similar content.
I borrowed the graphic novel Watchmen from a friend (Jeremiah - www.myspace.com/jeremiahvedder - his blog) before I went to watch the movie. Have never heard about the novel until the movie came out (blasphemy! unworthy non-dork!) but was interested in graphic novels ever since Seth from the O.C. kept babbling about how it is literature and not plain cartoons and by rambling about it somehow got Summer to fall for him (a feat I have not yet accomplished).
So, I went on and read the book in - for myself - incredible record time of 2 1/2 days and really enjoyed it. I then went on to watch the movie.
Very similar, thus similarly good.
Today I went to the Comic Con with Jeremiah and Cyrus (http://olivercomics.com/) and looked at geeky people, Playmates, Storm-Troopers, Chewy, Iron Man and lots more interesting things. I also picked up a complete collection of "V" for Vendetta which I am reading right now - well, not right now, as you can tell - and am getting ready to watch the movie once I finished the book.

This is all a mere stating of facts of what I am "doing" with my life right now, but this is what a blog is all about, right? Maybe I will get into this and more colorful posts will follow, but for now I remain with the holes and hope my bridge stays on.
(I did a google search for "for now I remain with" looking for nice ways to end a text in English and I got that as a result.
Heavy words, light on meaning. Google for the win.)

Reviving this Blog

I know I haven't updated here for a while.
And most of you will now be wondering why I am writing in English.

Well, I want to start making this a "international" blog. Which ties in nicely with my new-found ambition to update this bitch regularly. I hope I can keep up on it.

So let me get going:

I decided to restart my Blog now, at a time where my K-key on my keyboard is broke.
How am I using it then? It is very loosely attached and might fall off any second. If it does, you will start to realize, that I am using an awful lot of words without "k" or I will replace a K with the symbol ∆ which makes no sense what-so-ever but is closely located to the spot "k" would normally be (alt+ J-key) and looks pretty fucking cool.
So far so good, K in place.

I don't know if this will turn into a long elaboration but bare with me. It might be entertaining, it might be a bunch of useless info, it might be a little of both or it might be a complete waste of time. You won't know until you've been through it.

Since my last e-Mail and/or blog update obviously a lot of things have happened. I will not even try to ma∆e an effort, as I wouldn't be able to cover nearly enough anyways.
Therefore I will just state some recent developments.
Baseball season is well on its way. It is not going well at all though. Lately we have been doing better so there is reason to believe we will be able to finish the season on a good note (isn't it incredible how rarely the ∆-letter is used in the English language, my German friends?).

Here a video of me throwing a bullpen:




School has been going fine and has been almost as easy as always.
Really nothing new there.

I have found a new little project to wor∆ on outside of school though! I am right now in the process of translating this great article into English:
http://www.zeit.de/2009/04/DOS-Missouri
I am in contact with the original author of the piece and will try to get the final translation published in some big-ass magazines/newspapers. Will see if that wor∆s out, but go big or go home... or something li∆e that.

Here a picture of me being a Jedi:

Yes, I am carrying Yoda on my bac∆ and yes, I am wearing Monty Python's ∆iller Rabbit Slippers © ®.
Awesome? Yes.

When I turned 23 I got this ca∆e from ∆atie who is awesome for giving me a birthday ca∆e:
I couldn't help but eat a piece before I too∆ a picture. In case you are really fuc∆ing stupid, it read "Baseball".

I also got a ca∆e from Chrissy, but after enjoying two pieces of it, I forgot it at her place and haven't been able to get it bac∆ since. I hope she and her roommate enjoyed it.

The biggest highlight of my recent days (and maybe my life... maybe...) was:


Yippie! Yeah! Awesome!

Here is a video I too∆ of the heroes of my never ending childhood:


I thin∆ this is more than enough for now.
I genuinely hope to be able to ∆eep you guys updated here on a regular basis.

If you seriously want to stay up-to-date with what I am doing 24/7 though, I recommend faceboo∆, where I basically spend all my wa∆ing hours, or subscribing to my Twitter (Mo9er) which I update with interesting little things as soon as interesting little things pop up.

Than∆s for reading,

Moses.

PS: This is my roommates dog:
It is the only dog to ever be allowed on my arm, in my room or to even lic∆ my chin. Because it is a super cute, not stin∆y, fuc∆ing cute little dog.
All people who ∆now how much I disli∆e dogs, will understand what a big deal this is.
