On Robert Schumann's 200th
Today 200 years ago a child was born: Robert Schumann.
What could be more natural then than beginning Omnium's little homage à Schumann with his Kinderszenen / Scenes from Childhood?
Thus, take your time, cl... ah, no!
First of all let me wave farewell to all busy contemporaries by whom as it's noise-related, music is not appreciated, and / or to whom 17:37 minutes are a big heap of time 'within which I could easily visit appr. 35 blogs and leave 40 comments'.
Oh. You are still there? Fine.
Thus, close your eyes, remember (some of) those magic moments in your childhood of which I hope you had a plenty, or better: become again the child that once you were. And if when opening your eyes after 17:10 minutes you feel a salty drop in their corners like the ones you are detecting in the great Horowitz' eyes: there's no reason to regret ...

Interesting, isn't it?
Money in German means Geld.
(To) geld in English means to castrate.
A gelded horse in German is a Wallach.
A Wallach in English is a gelding.
Therefore: money is a gelding, hm?
Last question for tonight: How do geldings reproduce?
No clue?
Ask your trusted banker.
And to verify your banker's answer, ask your repesentative.

What a voice
Am I sad, tonight? Do I feel sentimental?
No.
How could one who'd now and then be considered (ice-)cold, heartless, selfish, feel ... Fado-esque?
Ah, don't wonder, don't ponder.
Just open your ears, listen ... and agree: What a voice.
No.

I don't know the reason why ...
... but I'll (probably) continue blogging.
Hm ... a guitar's music does not mean more to me, than any other woman I have known.
Still, some of the following lyrics (latest when replacing songs by posts) will let sense those of you who know me why I thought this is not an ideal but quite a fitting post after three years blogging.

Sweet Nothings (?)
Why would one not be surprised that Luc Bondy's interpretation of Arthur Schnitzler's Liebelei in Austria would get this (i.e. "Not more than a sweet Nothing") and that roasting(s).
As a man who is not immune against arrogance, purism, smugness. vanity etc., I am not.
After all, above mentioned traits are part of Omnium, hm? :)*
By the way, Judith Schmitzberger (author of above's this and Sophia Felbermair (author of above's that, are (now) part of Omnium, too. Congratulations, Myladies.
Well, arrogance, purism, smugness. vanity and utter stupidity aside:
I'd (have) like(d) to watch this, either in Northampton, Kingston, Coventry, Vienna, Recklinghausen, Madrid or ... in the Young Vic.
It seems to be a fine, an interesting approach.
* Sorry, Don QuiScottie.

A tragedy, a shame
... that I'd distract your attention from today's events.
Who cares about what was up to date many many yesterdays ago, hm?
The more as tomorrow today's another yesterday, hm?
Anyway, as said. Sorry, and by all means: Don't let disturb your peace of mind.
Apart from that we can't solve each tiny problem on this beautiful planet: we just can't afford pondering too much, can we?
Pondering too much makes so bloody depressive, hm?
And life is much too beautiful, too precious to waste it on getting depressive, hm?
The more as us getting depressive, will not change anything, hm?
It's hard enough daily to watch all these (breaking) news while enjoying our most delicious dinner, hm?
Ah! No. Skip watching the vid that I am too lazy to delete.
Enjoy life. It's so fucking short.
The f... err ... the peace of the night.

Thank you so much for clarifying, Big Prother.

Troubleshooters
It's the time
of the year
when at night
listening to the silence
my heart feels so light.
The frogs are croaking.

Tiny question to billionaires
Gosh. No post for a couple of days.
And the stories lying on the street (at least this is what the avarage young would-be journalist will once, twice, thrice etc. been told in the beginning of what he's very probably sure will become a great career.
Three months ago I would not know how to spell shornalist, and today already I am one, eh?
Wow, ... writing German I could go on and on and on ...
Now did I decide to not blogging in German.
Thus, my fault, hm?
Ha ha ha.
Anyway. All this just to tell that there's much to learn about life when - after having rubbed her neck, back and knees with oinments - listening to a woman without teeth.
You're smiling? You don't believe?
Alright. But one example: You can be a billionaire. However, what do your billions help when you can't go on toilette?
The peace of the night.
