You know you're getting old ...

You know you're getting old ...
... when you watch tv and see an old lady dying with her friends and family next to her, all caressing her, holding her hand, being there with her, helping her to make the passage, helping her to die, and then you think about yourself and think who would be there with you, who is going to mourn you ... and then you realize you are probably going to be all alone. That you will be lucky enough if you die in a hospital, because at least then there is personnel with you. That definitely beats dying all alone in your apartment to be found 3 weeks later smelling and decomposed by some poor policemen and fireman who had to break open your door, feeling pity for you, and being totally grossed out.

I think I don't like getting old if it's going to be like that.

Eurovision Songcontest
Mal was ganz anderes, was so gar nix mit dem älterwerden zu run hat: Also öfter als einmal, schreib ich das wirklich nicht ... Ich glaub das Beste ist noch die "neue" Version von Max Mutzkes altem Eurovisions Song, die nun heisst: Ich hab Migräne .. oder sowas von irgendjemand präsentiert, den...

Luscious Lips
everytime I see ads in magazines or on tv with young models with these soft luscious lips I get so envious. I think it's a personal affront to everybody over 25. It always makes me sad and I think of the times, when I was young and my lips were...

I am officially giving up!
. . . SMS, Twitter, Jaiku, Frazr, Wamadu, Faybl, Skype ........ AIM, MSN, ICQ, Trillian, Yahoo ...... - Now, THAT were the times. Then I still understood what it was. Nowadays I feel SO lost. It's all greek to me. Then again I am older now. Less flexible. And the only...

It's all in the mascara, sweetheart
yeah, rrright! As we all (who have come of age) know, growing old has its nasty perks. One of them: grey / white hair. And since I really, really can't see anything graceful about grey hair when I am only in my mid-forties, of course I have it dyed (more like...

Moving up towards 50 ...
It still takes me a moment to catch breath when I say: Now that I am 44 ... Shocks! 44 .... can you imagine? Naw, probably not, unless you are also 44 or older. It shouldn't be so shocking, I mean it's not like I turned 44 yesterday. Then again,...

Holy Mackerel!
This has got to be the one day in my blog's existence that I wrote so much that it actually makes up for all the days, weeks, months that I am not writing. Inevitably I will probably not write that much ever again, as I tend to write only when the...

You know you're old ...
... when you screw up your blog by trying to import a layout without knowing if it will work and instead of testing it you activate it and spend nearly two days fixing the problem, and it just won't go away. Instead you also employ the whole blogosphere (there, mark...

Blog ok - Die Welt ist wieder schön
und ziemlich weiss noch dazu. Immerhin: es schneit. Als Strafarbeit 150 Mal einen schlimmen Satz geschrieben, den Tag mit Unmengen von Blogeinträgen gefüllt, die eigentlich gar nicht zum Thema gehören, aber dennoch wichtig und richtig sind. Soviel dazu. Eigentlich gäbe das gleich einen neuen Beitrag .....
