Birthday Poem

Vow to
rise above ignorance
actually think
think thrice before casting the first stone
rather try not to at all
make that effort
accept what you cannot change
but try to change everything else
for the better
cause contention with the status quo
just mysthifies the errors of our ways
speak up
even when you think it will go unheard
someone might be listening
and be relieved
not to be wandering alone
don´t get the impression
that life´s a chore
cause the essence of that grows your life
stale
and stale it is not
as you might know
as you might realize
if you open your eyes
to see
unbiased

It´s been a long time...

Well, sometimes things in life are making it hard to catch up with...I have thesis work to do, have enrolled for my finals, have been getting in shape lately and met tons of amazing people in the past months...it´s a shame that the person I like most is leaving in about two weeks but that´s how life is...Nothing to do about it...Mer, I´ll come and visit you next year, and damn, shit will be going down!
Why is it that American rock climbing girls are just totally badass (not afraid to take huge whippers, not afraid to lead, not bitchy about thunderstorms surprising you at the crag, not whining all the time about bolts being spaced...list goes on!) whilst that speciwoman is so hard to come by in here? If somebody feels like answering, hit me up! So after getting to know Mer I took her places (her au-pair family should have done that instead of treating her like a personal servant but that´s another story) and I hope I managed to show her a little bit of Europe! Arco, Zillertal, Franconia, Schleierwasserfall...the list of places we went reads like a sponsored climber´s travel map! About damn right! Gotta live it up!
Anyway, in the end I would rather take her on more trips, show her more places and spend more time with her...but I guess you get the point...there´s nothing I can do.
