It’s just a word, isn’t it?

I like words. I like language. I have a close relationship with books and there is nothing funnier for me than wordgames.
But there is a problem that I have that exclusively shows that language and words are pro-depressants.
Most people overuse certain words or misuse them, let’s start with a mild one: tacky.
First mentioned in 1862, the reliable Oxford English Dictionary tells us that the original use of “tackie” was a broken-down, worthless horse, meaning then a “poor white of the Southern States.” Ever since everything that is chabby and/or cheap is named tacky, in 1980 every friggin fashion mag would name the newest creations of designer soandso ”delightfully tacky”,
anything out of the ordinary is ”tacky”, tacky tacky all the way.
So if you see an old horse today, would you call it tacky? I didn’t think so.
Another one, a [...]

Why I am an Atheist. Part I – The Introduction

A part of me is annoyed even considering to write about that topic, it feels irksome to be confronted with a feeling of “need to” but that’s what I do feel, I feel that I have to clarify why I don’t believe in any god.
I could start with the obvious; basically every science known to [...]

Why I clearly not want children. Ever. Seriously.

First of, in case anybody is actually ever reading this Blog – if you are a mother of 10, a loving grandparent, work in the kidsstation of the nearby hospital and see the “wonders of life” day in day out – well glad you like it; I don’t.

I’d be a horrid mother. I can’t hold [...]

The Carpe Diem Project Day who-knows…

I stopped posting daily nearly after starting the project, because it won’t work as I hoped. I’m in a state of despair, torn between the project and my current situation.
I have a valid Work & Travel Visa for Australia. I could go everyday if I wanted to. And I want – somehow.
I have no work [...]

The sun reflected delicatly…

I love pasta. That said, I can tell you the epic story of my lunch today!
I actually planned on having some italian tomatoes marinated with garlic, olive oil and herbs on crisp bread but I ended up using that fabulously expensive package of pasta di semola di grano duro (for those not fluent in italian [...]

The Carpe Diem Project – Day 3 & 4

Ok guys, I’m obviously a fail for not posting daily. I apologize.
Yesterday was a very random day. I didn’t do much of what I wanted mainly because it’s weekend and since I’m still living in hotel mama, weekends mean no privacy and therefore nothing to look forward to for me. I bought all that excellent [...]

The Carpe Diem Project – Day 2

On day 2 (posting on day 3 but only because it’s middle of the night), I managed to clean more and do voicetraining.
I failed doing sports and eating well, actually I hardly ate, but I had a smoothie of red currant berries, fruityoghurt & apple juice.
I hope day 3 works a bit better but hey, [...]
