I’ve been thinking lately how I generally lack substance (just look at this page 😉 )

anyways I think I’ve really touched (positively or negatively) very few people in my life…now granted…that isn’t necessarily how one should or could define a successful life, but isn’t that some part of it?

…but then I was thinking that not only am I fairly unsubstantive, but I don’t really know anyone who is…sorry to all my friends, who make me laugh, cry, love, etc, but is anyone doing great things now-a-days? (ok is anyone doing slightly better than mediocre things?)

Should I feel better that I’m not worse than anyone else I know…

OK I’m probably going to feel bad about this entry (cuz I may have just insulted everyone I’ve ever met), so that means tomorrows entry will be extra crappy to make you all forget about this one… 😉

quick…someone give me a topic…

I just realized…Barcelona in 2 weeks!!! This makes me smile 🙂

Do they have taco bell in spain?

apparently ants never sleep…

my mom said I need to slow down and take care of myself…do I look tired or something 😉 Thanks ma!

…and yes…still in the picture 🙂

I think I meant atypical american….I couldn’t think of the right word last night…I knew untypical wasn’t quite right…

might make my way to the states this august…might be looking forward to this 😉
It’s all about the food…gotta start making a list of restaurants to visit…

garlic Jims……

there is something slightly cool about hearing a car driving on cobblestones…or maybe not…at least it’s not something we ever hear in the states….

everyday is Valentines day…

I was sitting on my balcony tonight after work…it’s still light and the city is beautiful in the mornings/evenings…I really haven’t taken time to appreciate Frankfurt. There is a lot of the city I just haven’t seen…
I walked for 3 hours on Saturday morning along the river, and eventually made my way to some tourist plaque talking about Goethe University and the Palmengarten and Botanical Gardens…I made a point at the time to go visit the gardens, but didn’t make it there last weekend…hopefully the next weekend I’m back in the city…

am travelling with Matt to Bratislava and Wein (Vienna, Austria) this weekend…I once saw Austria from the top of a mountain (south of München). t’was lovely. I think I’m looking forward to this weekend…but I suppose we’ll just end up in an Irish pub watching football…hmmmm….is that what I want from life? turning into jeff/Monty…saturdays at an open air market…then the pub to meet the regulars…with an occasional weekend away…works for now I guess. It’s good to see new places and cultures…
My colleagues say this makes me a not typical american…

Cheers to mum for the vitamins…I was sick, but took them and feel a bit better today…

I was sitting on my balcony (deck) tonight and noticed lots of stars…in the summer I don’t see any stars (too bright until very early in the morning) and I remember sort of missing them when I first came here, but I hadn’t thought about this for months…I grew up in places where you could actually see the stars…I guess this qualifies as one of the little things that you miss whilst living in the city…Not sure the significance of this…

people do seem to miss the chance to ponder the “human condition”…this has nothing to do with stars, but with the many distractions we have now that keep us from pondering the important things…
like politics…
Chelsea Clinton is UUUuugly…

It seems the weather never used to affect me when I lived in the states, but being here where the sun occasionally shines even in winter seems to bolster my mood a bit…or maybe I’m just way more in touch with my emotions of late…

I seem to have developed a smile line on my face of late…I’ve been waiting 10 years for wrinkles…at last they come… :)))))))))

I’ve survived today on 4 Balisto bars and a small ham sandwich from Aldi…This is healthy right?
Cooking for one is not one of the great joys in life…

to muzzle and to nuzzle are not the same thing…

I was a bit light at 18:00 today…it confuses me…I like arriving and leaving to work in the dark…it makes me feel like I’ve accomplished stuff at work…
