I posted it in another blog (my more regular blog, but wasn't very regular this year 
) and so the beginning is out of context, but I think it still makes sense:
And now there was the election.
And yes, we Germans did follow this election like it would have been in our country.
Will it be Obama or McCain?
Well, I was for Obama, but not without critics.
I mean, there are some points which really fear me about him.
It's always dangerous, when a politician is adored like a messiah or a rock star.
It's always dangerous when people mix these two things.
He is a politician. That means, he can't get through his job without telling lies. That is a fact and there is no way we can close our eyes about a fact like this.
So, he might disappoint after all the big pressure of expectations pressing on his shoulders right now.
I mean, if it only would be America looking at him like the saviour machine, saving the world on any level (war, financial crisis, environment crisis and so on), but now it's the whole world waiting for him doing that.
The whole world now is waiting that he comes his way and with a snip of his magic finger and everything will be alright.
How can he do that?
He is only human.
He is only a politician who has to make compromises he might not be lucky with and maybe he has to sell some of his ideals on the big world market game.
Yes, I'm happy that he made it and not McCain. And, I can't help, but having high expectations on him like any other. But still, there is this little voice in me asking if it all is really so good as it looks now and as it seems on the first euphoric emotion.
There is another thing which gets me all the time.
And this is, that it is still a question about skin colour.
I mean, helloooooo!!!!!!
We are living in the age of the Internet and Globalization.
We should've found out by now, that the skin colour doesn't make any difference between good and bad. The skin colour doesn't make any difference about you and me, maybe only the look in the mirror.
But hey, I'm scared by the look into my mirror, but I'm never scared by the look into the mirror of somebody else.
So, the skin colour doesn't count as an argument for anything anymore. And, for me that was already before Obama was part of the election.
Have you ever seen a German or an English guy on Majorca after a few hours in the sun, without sun cream?
So, why the hell do people call the native Americans "red skinned" (well, at least here in Germany we say so)?
Oh well, just a thought....

Well, maybe it was, because my dad was in hospital and I was so busy with it. Hope it is not already fading away,
I promised myself that I will never forget this day and celebrate it, because this day means a lot to me.
This day, David Bowie survived and a lot more.
Much love to the man I miss so much

Do you believe in signs?
Well, there was a time when I believed in signs and eveything came the way the signs showed me.
Now, for two years it seems like my sign radar was kind of broken.
I saw signs, but nothing happened.
I stopped dreaming. I calmed myself down as much as I could.
But now for two month strange things happen in my life again.
Signs, which are real signs are coming back and things happen.
I started to dream again.
The good old dream which was with me now for a lot of years.
It is not a nice and romantic dream.
Not at all. There is a lot of violence, pain and emotional drama included.
But, I somehow missed that dream, because it always shows me the way. Well, kind of....
And, guess what.
Yesterday the dream even changed.
Out of the blue I dreamed about a Bowie Concert (I didn´t dream that now for such a long time)
I can´t remember the details anymore (not typical for me, but even that I take as a good sign), but I remember I woke up with a big smile this morning.
I´m not saying that there will be a Bowie gig in the future, but, the sign is a good one and gives me a good feeling
Love on ya all
