Nothing’s for ever. Ever is actually a human construct, one of the numerous tangible consequences of our god complex. Ever, then, ever does not exist, well just the word and its sense, but not the reference. Let me explain you this. Imagine the word “night”. Its sense is “part of the day+after the hour X+associated [...]
More »Time, Colour and Species
I find it funny every time German people look at me with a weird yet welcoming smile when they see me all dressed up in colours. Not that Spaniards are not amazed at the fact that I know that there are more colours to the world than black, white and all shades between them no [...]

Promises for the new year
Call it deadlock, call it impasse. Call it what you will, the metaphor still remains the same. Sometimes, then, sometimes it is not a question of language. Sometimes it is not even a question of perception or of the expression of that perception or of the perception and interpretation of that expression. Sometimes, then, again, [...]

Airports
It’s all a question of wanting I guess. No no not of wanting, of waiting. Like of wanting or waiting to leave and come back and remembering who you were while remaining who you are. Your self will never leave you, so why should you worry? Well you do worry. You worry because you always [...]

Mirrors
Maybe, you know, maybe I do believe in destiny. In destiny as in something huge and great and powerful and non-existant that merely exists because it gives me hope. It was all a question of waiting you know? Time’s over, space does not exist any more. Maybe I was actually supposed to care about it, [...]

Snow season in cologne
Impossible. You look out of the window and realize, after all, that it was not rain but snow. A higher degree of consistence, yet further. Rain into snow, snow into rain, rain into nothing. Rather cold than nothing. One can always stay cold if one wants to. A violent impulse. I want to taste the [...]

How language works
CRYSTAL BALL Always breaking. You cry out loud and realize, after all, that it was not a question of volume. Nothing that you didn’t know. Arms up, you move in circles, dizzy, weren’t you supposed to go on the other direction? Maybe it is not you the one that is moving but the crystal ball [...]

WHAT’S NOT FAIR
It is not fair that you keep on welcoming me, when all I want to do is hate you. Don’t be mad at me, it’s just an inner fight of myself, within and without me, for and against you. Of course beauty is important, those claiming the opposite are nothing but hypocrites. That I am [...]

The suitcase generation
All the things without which you cannot live, you can put them in a suitcase. A small one even. Little little suitcase, tell me what it is that you are hiding from me, and I’ll promise to take you with me, wherever I go, for I am going somewhere, you know I cannot stay here. [...]

I, you, she, we, you, they, I. Don’t be scared
How to disappear. They’ll think you’re a feather. Keep tight together, feel that you belong. They will accept you. Just keep on trying. I thought about a story yesterday, a nice one. One about fairies and beautiful worlds and people laughing. There is no more water in the fridge, you can’t be bothered to go [...]

Ich bin 27 Jahre alt und beschäftige mich am Liebsten mit der Sprachwissenschaft des Englischen. Ich liebe reisen, lesen und malen. Wahrscheinlich liebe ich auch schreiben, und deswegen bin ich ja auch in diesem Blog. Über all hoffe ich, dass ihr dies lesen werdet!
Enough food and drink sampling at Anuga? How about some German technology? Just outside Hall 8 of the fair, a mini Zeppelin was spotted hovering above our heads. This fascinating craft is operated by Friedrich, a 20-year-old electrical engineering undergraduate. He flies this Zepplin nine hours a day and walks about at the north entrance [...]
When we leave home and head to a foreign country to study, one of the things we miss the most is FOOD. All those delicious things that reminds us our home country!! At the Anuga, we found people from every part of the world offering their typical food so we can have them at the [...]
