Lack of suffering
This is the first time, that I write the english version of my post first. The thought took me in english, so I go with that… we’ll see.
In my former youth (I feel thirty now, so my teens and tweens are from now on considered as the “former youth”), I used to write a song almost every month – a was singing in a band that time, so it worked out very well.
The songs I wrote, were mostly about love.
But in the last view Years, I just wrote some Music, random little pieces, which I liked, but … yeah … you get it…
Sometimes, I asked myself, what lead me to that. The quick answer was, that I wasn’t in love for a long time … so…
But a few minutes ago, I was playing the piano, a song called “And so it goes” by Billy Joel. I remember, I loved this song ever since I heard it for the first time. The lyric is about a broken heart, but here it knows that the suffer will end. After playing the song, it came to my mind, that it has been my lack of suffer from anything, that brought me to a nonwriting musician. I know, that it will end, so I always distract myself, when I’m afraid to lose something. And another thought came up: Back then, I always pictured myself, singing the song to the woman it was meant for, knowing, that my music and words would make her understand. I got “rid” of that too.
And know, I am standing here in front of my computer, typing these words – and I am listening to “disintegration” by “The Cure”. Uh, I feel jealous of Smiths ability to suffer that much, that you think, you see him dying by missing his love.
New Years Eve in New York 1976-2014
Look at this: Somebody took the time to make this little movie-collage of the “Ball-Drops” on Times Square, from 1976 to 2014… the change of time in a few Minutes…
Delivering the 15 to the Times Square
How great is it, that the New Yorkers are able to celebrate everything? In this movie you see the 15 delivered to the Times Square … I love it!

The Irony of Love in a movie
I love the movie “Love actually”. It tells in such a cosy funny way about the characters…
I watch it every year with great pleasure!
Do you remember the story about the writer and his portuguese Maid? I came to the scene, when the sheets of his manuscript just flew into the lake, and he and Aurelia are jumping in to save them. And I thought, what a lucky guy.
Than it came to my mind, that he wasn’t that lucky at the beginning og the movie, when the woman, he loved was cheating on him with his brother. At that time, I felt very sorry for him…
But now, if he meet his ex-girlfriend again, probably on her wedding with his brother, he will smile at her thank her for made him leaving her, so that he was able to meet the love of his life!

My Point of view idea becomes regular. With my feet on the ground, on a manhole, I look slowly up to the sky…
BTW: I don’t like the behaviour of the autofocus – do you have an idea to resolve that?
What do you see in this picture?
Tis is my favourite Photo from my last trip to New York City. I’d love to know, what you see in this picture? Do you feel connected? And if, in which way?

I kinda get a crush on this idea – and so I made another little piece of my looking-up-movie..
Do you know, where I am…?

[codepeople-post-map]I am very proud of this idea: I am standing right in the middle on a manhole cover. I start filming my feet and then moving straight up, higher and higher, and I stop filming, when you see the sky – that’s all – an I can do it anywhere on this planet….
