Free Spirit of A Glowing Night

San Francisco at night by Thomas Hawk

San Francisco at night by Thomas Hawk

“It’s simply a very romantic place. Just one look at any of those streets, and you couldn’t be anywhere else – it’s so beautiful, and there’s that location, and the sense of the free spirit. Who couldn’t become ravenous in such a place?” (by Julia Child)

9/11 Heroism and Freedom

I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom (Bob Dylan, US singer & songwriter, 1941 -)

9/11 Heroism and Freedom

Read what people (on twitter) where doing the day two plane crashed into the World Trade Center (plus the one that crashed into the Pentagon) and had a huge impact on world politics. Funny how we all remember what we did on days like these.

Rise Above Earth’s Confines

I really get excited when I get twitter updates on the Mars mission Phoenix. As I said, space and the vast universe, we are planted in like a seed, lures me away with an even vaster fascination.

Also I wonder if we are all ever get to enjoy space tourism. According to the quote attached below, the future belongs to those who take off from Earth and head some place free from forces that kept us on Planet Earth from birth on.

The future belongs to those who can rise above the confines of the earth. (Alfred North Whitehead,English mathematician & philosopher, 1861 – 1947)

Not Really Here, Ohmm

There you go, this is as biblical as it might (who knows…) ever get on this blog… It’s a pleasure to open a new category, called A Picture A Quote. With this masterpiece of photography.

Absent in body, but present in spirit. (Bible, 1 Corinthians v. 3.)

Ozapft is’

Myassociationwith the attached picture explained as follows: “Ozapft is” is German dialect (Bavarian) for “es ist angezapft” meaning you just tapped a keg of beer. Phonetic pronunciation help should look like this: awww-ts-uh-pft-e-s. Thus this is the ultimate motto for the Oktoberfest (no need to explain that, right? I saw Oktoberfest Sausages at Costco)I figured this little bit of information qualifies for a schnelles (quick) Lingo Bingo and blends in with my sharing thoughts on the internet.

If sexy never left, then why’s everybody on my shi-it-it?
Don’t hate on me just because you didn’t come up with it.

Got it?Give It To Me (iTunes Link, in case you want to purchase the song)

I want that kind of suit for my next prom season. This cool tie included.

(This is a really random blog entry, and yet no sign of a Sommerloch)
