Hasselhoff

One of the 10 big heroes of our generation was, is and will always be: David Hasselhoff. Michael Knight. Mitch Beau Cannnnnooooon! The master of 80s coolness and 90s ...äh...well "beachness".
And today - the 23. of April 2010 he will sign his autobiography in the Europark in Salzburg.
Way to go!

Later this day:

So here We are, in the middle of the line. Pretty great place for the time we arrived there. But guess what happened when David Hasselhoff arrived? Everybody tried to get in the front row.... well chaos... and everyone who is "asshole" enough to give a shit on others became the winner of this situation. Another reason why I (sometimes) hate people in crowds.

Well I did not shake his hand. But I got an autograph. And he smiled when he saw my book cover. Why? I did a little paint job before i gave the book to his assistant ;)

Nice work...

Weeeeell..... There are times when a wall needs to be decorated. Especially when a good friend moves to Salzburg (or has moved here some months ago). Log story short: he lives on the schtreet now!!

A new tool!

50 Euro (thats really not much!), a little research and a lot of mac gyvering, and I have my own little (tiny tiny tiny) e-drum set in my room. The DD6 Practise Pad has something very special: Inputs for a bass drum and 2 hi hat pedals. Normally this is nice but the hi hat pedals are pretty useless (you can´t really play along so well with a pedal and not the stick). So I macgyvered a little hi hat out of a tuning microphone, a cd box and a cable. It works fine! Cant believe it myself! What I got not is a snare pad, a bass drum pedal (it works ok...) and a self built hi hat or cymbal pad for my room!

That is how you spend your days in "Mühhlviertel"

At least when you are a member of our family. Or people like us. Or people who want to be like us. Or people who are kinda like us. Or just people who love toys n stuff :)

What an awesome sunny day guys!

Ahhhh no words can describe the beauty of a sunny spring day (especially the time around seven). Great for working, playing, relaxing, playing guitar... ahhh....great for everything that´s fun. OH and by the way: the guy who´s crashing into the sun is my great uncle in upper austria :)


Be afraid!

If you are afraid of being afraid - let it be. There´s a long story behind this whole being afraid of something - thing (and don´t be afraid, I will not talk bout evolution much). I´m not talking bout the fear of a predator or the fear of a war. I´m talking about the pure feeling "fear", which can not be described until, well, until you are feeling it. It´s shocking and in most cases it crawling up your neck until it gets you.

First case: Diploma. Man! We were afraid, weren´t we!? Hell yes! This fear was one of those creeping, slowly crouching fears, that get you harder and harder every day until that one that, on which it seems to explode and - AND NOW COMES THE IMPORTANT PART - fade away. It ALWAYS turns to dust in the wind, to sparkling star powder or to whatever you wanna call "NOTHING". And here comes, what we should learn about this: Fear is necessary and it actually helps you.

Man, I would definitely haven´t learned so freaking much, if i would not been so afraid of this damn exam. It´s not only that I have learned more. I was more concentrated, I woke up earlier to start to work or to learn and I focused on only one thing (which is in my case nearly impossible!). I felt like DATA from Star Trek. Honestly. There was only this one exam. Nothing else. Pretty strange for a person, that has 10 projects aside, 50 people who´d love to drink a beer with you and 100 song ideas every minute.
So what I have learned about this whole fear thing. "Anscheißen is manchmal ziemlich wichtig!"
I´ll try to translate this: I´m sure there will be many "fear" situations in my life. And I will react exactly the same as I did in the fear situation before. And guess what: thats good! This is what makes me better (at least in those situations).

Then there is this other fear situation. The moment you fear for your life or the life of someone else. It sucks. I know. It sucks so hard, that I can not write any positive thing about it BUT the moment after the fear. Think of somebody who survived a critical moment. How happy have you been!? How much more could you enjoy your life and your moments with this person!? Fear suddenly turns into something very, very strong. An Energy, that powers you up (Man - I´m in my video games world again...whatever...you know how I am).

Long story short: Some feelings or moments need to be survived to become a better person.

No pictures for this one...
