'Either Side of the Pond'

hey guys,
check this out:
a superb translating system ---> english | german

it even gives you vulgar words like Scheiße, Muschi, Ständer, Mösenfurz, Fotzenlicker, Bumsen... and the list goes on. i found it rather hilarious, yet informative to practice later this summer. (kidding/scherzend)

i must admit, my german is progressing ever so slowly now that i'm back home. it's been nothing but chilling and literally taking a holiday from everything.

sending my best,

OH MY FRICKEN GOODNESS!

erik, i'm sorry, but i HAVE TO RUB THIS IN. jamie cullum's concert was SICKLY ILL-ROCKIN'! what an entertaining show! i'll speak more of it later, but DUDE. flying to toronto would have been TOTALLY worth your money.

greg - i thank you tremendously for giving me the heads up about Jamie to me, or else i would have missed out on such an astounding talent.

good god, i can't get over myself. it was CRAZY WHACKNESS. i absolutely loved every minute of it.

stay tuned, interesting and juicy details to follow.
i didn't quite ask him if i could be his P.R. for Canada but i sure did make myself different from the rest. heh heh heh. i'm such a goon.

there's no escaping Germany paraphernalia in my well decorated room, seeing as how hundreds of memories captured on photo print greet me every day on my walls, frames, even on my desktop and screensaver. i literally can't stop thinking about how wonderful August/September will be.

FCO's so close, i can literally smell stuttgart from here, can you?

missing you both terribly...

I saw Jamie Cullum's music video "All at Sea" on BravoTV today. it's pretty good - definitely shows a good portrait of what he's like. I have a good feeling about this concert. I've already planned what I'm gonna say to him; perhaps plug myself as his P.R. for Canada. ;) kinda like Scotty Crowe for John Mayer. that sucker gets so much publicity, it's ridic. yes, you heard right. RIDIC.

if you're terribly bored (like i am some mornings), try these japanese games. they're kind of feminine but sure is addictive! "ORiSINAL"

by the way,
I'M GOING TO SEE JAMIE CULLUM!!!
super stoked! my bud, Clint saw my blog, and gladly agreed to take me! wow. what a day.

i'm feeling rather uneasy right now, due to school and marks.
tell me a joke, or something stupid you witnessed over the weekend.

waiting for germany...

of the choices erik gave to name his nick (on the side column) i thought AARDVARK would work, but truthfully i had to look up the definition to refresh my memory. according to www.dictionary.com:

aardvark - A burrowing mammal (Orycteropus afer) of southern Africa, having a stocky, hairy body, large ears, a long tubular snout, and powerful digging claws.

i'm not sure about the long tubular snout, and the powerful digging claws but i'd say that's about right.

glad you all found a place here! this is exciting, but i have to be careful not to neglect my own blog. it took me a while to figure out what colour scheme to use, and then i saw this sky blue and it reminded me of that blue t-shirt greg owns (which is one of my favourite colours on him) and it also gives a nice comfortable vibe to blog. like peace and solitude. anyway, if you have any other requests for this blog, for layout improvement, you know where to reach me.

anyway, since the webmaster wins favour, i choose the timestamp to be set on "GMT-500 Canadian/Eastern time", so when you post, it will show up always based on my time. but if that confuses you, (when looking back on history of events) you can change the time and date on the right hand column. (hrm, i'm not sure if this applies with your MAC erik)
