Barack bei der Siegessäule

I think it is the first time after a long time taht I am really sorry I will not be able to be present at somebody´s speech...
NYT on Obama in Berlin.

Of women and of the sources of perpetual misunderstanding

Initial remark: A post that is accurately generalising and provocative

They need to know the end of anything so badly; they pretend after a while to know it anyway...they are full of ex-post explanations and a priori thoughts that you will never be able to assume...
They want both to tell you the end of a story - movie or book, personal or general - and to show you they were right...
They need to be sure they know what is going on...
They guess they are sure they know what you think...in the worst cases even why you think so...
They think that a choice is not a risk, rather a solution...
They think they do act strategically, while they mostly believe you are maybe able to be tactical, in the best case scenario...
They think surprise belongs to the basket of things they have already thought could happen...
They believe feelings are a confirmation of reality...
They (worst of all) need to explain and not to understand...

It is much more likely that I find myself lagging behind some sort of unescapable right/wrong discussion than a true/false one...

dienstag der 22.

When you think you need to smoke, but you actually just have not eaten for ages...
When you think you are just in a bad mood, but you have been drinking too much, too often...
When you think your day is too long...
When you do not do anything for hours...
When you look for some plans, and you find yourself in the laziest mood ever...
When you realize you have good friends, but it is not enough...
When you think you can spend time by yourself, and yourself does not agree...
When sex is just the fullfilment of a biological need...
When there is no beauty all around...
When you hope music is the answer, or at least the company...
When you are not able to go into a shop by yourself...
When you escape company, because you know you would actually need it...

When you realize that it could be worse, of course, but really much worse...?

Answers...?

What did i share with her? Why am I so unable, uncapable to understand people for what they are? What am I for a person, then, that is the next question...
There is no solution...My mind has been running in circles since November...I have no energy left for that...there is no solution anyway...just the defeat.

I bought a cheap turntable and two boxes...I can finally say I have a stereo home...first time in my life, that is kind of awkward of me, since I am such a music junkie...anyway I started to collect Lps and singles and it is so much fun.

I am going to Prague on friday, so this year as well I manage to go once more back to the beloved -complicatedly beloved- Czech Republic...I read today that the thing C.Republic and Italy share the most lately, is their fear for Roma people...it is unbelievable to realize that...there are probably twice as much American people in C. Republic as Roma; while in Italy, well Italy, should we even try to find an explanation?
