Why are you unhappy today?

Couldn't fly back home last night, slept about 5 hours, have been up since 4, just got home about 50 minutes ago and have three bloody meetings one after the other starting in 17 minutes. Horse shit and midgets fuck all of a day.

back from dortmund? relax man today is friday

I am extremely unhappy, one of my favorite Austrian singer-songwriters died of lung cancer on 21 June. For the German speaking countries, this is the equivalent of Willie Nelson or Sting dying.
Georg Danzer, born in Vienna 7 October 1946, was a multi-talented artist with miserable school grades. He did the full hippie-flower power thing, hitchhiking through Europe in the 1960s, hanging around in the Viennese Kaffeehäuser and writing songs for others before bagging a record contract himself. The big hit that triggered his career is about a naked actor traipsing into Café Hawelka one day and the various reactions to his appearance, "Jö Schau".
Danzer was a chain smoker from the age of 13 and never turned down a joint (or probably other, harder drugs), he painted pictures, wrote books and joined Wolfgang Ambros (for whom he had written songs in the 1970s) and Rainhard Fendrich to form Austria3. The group originally formed for a charity concert to support the homeless in Vienna but later toured successfully through Austria, Germany and Switzerland. I had the privilege of attending their last concert in Munich at Tollwood last June, and these three absolutely rule, having known each other for decades and jammed and drunk and got stoned together, they sang each others songs and harmonized 100%. The thought of Austria3 minus 1 just breaks my heart.
Danzer, being Viennese, had their typical proclivity towards death and the moribund. One of his songs, a very bouncy tune, is called "Lass mi amoi no d'Sunn aufgeh segn" (Let me see the sun rise just one more time), about a guy who is dying and begging for just one more day. It has always been hard for me to listen to that song without choking up, now even the thought of it sets me crying.
Georg, I hope your last sunrise was beautiful.

I´m skint, unhappy, stupid and depressed. Very depressed. I hate me at the moment.

I know the feeling. I hope you feel better. Do something to cheer you up.

Got a rope, that should work to cheer me up?

Gosh darned it, raining AGAIN! We had big plans for this weekend and Mother Nature simply isn't cooperating. This weekend there's a huge party going on in the next village - 50th anniversary of the Musikverein. They've set up a big tent for a beer garden, over 30 bands are playing - everything from oom-pah-pah to rock. If this shitty weather doesn't let up then tomorrow's parade is gonna be a disaster! I've been invited to ride in one of the wagons in the parade, but not sure I want to if it means getting drenched.

Even the dogs hate going out in the rain. Grrrr...

Noooo, what happened that you are that down? Do something that you enjoy doing, call a friend to talk, something like that.

I made a complete arse of myself. And now I hate myself enough to put up on this board.

Well, I still don't know what you did, but I am sure you can fix it. And stop hating yourself..

I think I will lie down, maybe later drink some bleach or something. That should lighten me up.

I am disappointed with myself because I forgot to use my loyalty card in Tengelmann to get the points. I hate that!!
Though on the bright side I found smoked cheese, fish fingers and brocolli AND 49cent noodles AND some vanilla puddings...mmmm and chocolate chip cookies!!! I imagine all these things will taste nicer than bleach (separate not mixed together)
Come on everyone cheer up!! Think about it this way,
if you woke up this morning reasonably healthy, you are not among the million plus who will not survive this week. If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, then you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have never experienced a war, the loneliness of imprisonment, the pain of torture or hunger, then you are luckier than the 500 million people experiencing those things at the moment;
If you can go to church without fear of being threatened with imprisonment or death, then you are luckier than the 3 billion people who cannot;
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, then you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If you can read this message, you are not among the 2 billion people who can't. Today is a pretty good day, isn't it?

Cause I am.

Hmm... well... ok... I got a litre of choc ice cream in the fridge... that'll perk me up

BTW... just got back from a quick pee/poop run with the dogs... it just started to rain more heavily again so we didn't do the planned regular 5km walk. For a while it looked like it might have stopped, but...

Have you learnt your lesson like I did...

I quit the booze... feel a million times better, and seem to have more friends coz of it!!

Cos i bought a set of scales today.

have you busted them already!!!

They were speaking scales and just yelled " Get off ya Fat Bastard ! "

I'm glad I don't have scales like that.

Because every time I want to do something special it never f-ing seems to work out.

They normally say "would one of you please get off?"

one of those night where you don't f...ing want to be alone. And you just feel that there will no one out there.

Cheer up Jessejames. Get a book, go to a bar and get engrossed. Somebody always comes up to disturb you, it's human nature. Instigate conversation. You are now, at least, in communication, and you may have a new friend.

At least you all are still alive.

yep, guess I am alive, and luckily that feeling comes only ance in a while. Like now. What's up with you sarabyrd?

See above, one of my favorite singers died on Thursday. I am trying to shake it off but everything else seems so trivial. Guess I'd better bake some cookies tomorrow, sure cure.
Move on, nothing to see here.

I am in pain... my head hurts... and I wonder why!

I hate myself even more now , the bleach didn´t work. And I´m too poor to drink myself to death ( Change that on Friday)

Try the Essig Reiniger with ice...

I am unhappy today as I cannot get to grips with the fact my ex-partner could not cope when I questioned him on on something, he totally was annoyed that i questioned him, refused to discuss and withdrew.
A few of my friends seem to think this is rather typical German male behaviour, there partners act in a similar way if there is a serious discussion or disagreement, it is almost like they think no one has the right to challenge and not agree and then they refuse to discuss at length,,, weird actually.

I know a lot of people act like this but could it be a bit of a germain trait? Has anyone else noticed this?

Ay-men, but my still German now ex was a single child as well, I blame his inability to face confrontation on that.

In my experience* Germans are really not good at confrontation face to face, fine on the fone but as soon as you front them up they cannot deal with it.

* Based upon both work based and personal experience.

well his reaction seems so arrogant, very surprising after 4 years, he refuses to discuss problems with me and says he will only communicate if I am pleasant and respectful???!! I was!Also he says the subject is "boring" and as he has no problem with it then the discussion is over?!
Wish I had argued 3 years ago to save time finding out he is a control freak!!

Feel like a child being told " cos I said so".. there is no room for comunication with this man, I have sort of seen this before but sort of ignored it, silly billy me!

I'm ill. Hardly ever get colds, but when I do, they're evil. Everything's all swollen and achey, I think I have a temperature, there's more work to be done in the next three days than I could get through at my most energetic, and there's no-one here to moan at.

Because our office was broken into again.

Because a meeting this morning went completely differently than I expected, and badly.

what kind of nut breaks into a Lawyers office?

other lawyers?

I presume they have PC's to nick.

They were after cash only. Frigging house management installed cctv everywhere execpt in the vesitbules in front of the office entrances and the entry from the garage to the elevators, the garage being easily accessable - just ... ah forget it. Took us half an hour to clean the mercury powder off the doors. Bastards. Meaning the house management.

Or even PCs...

cos my new mobile phone is dead!

Get a blackberry poots, at least if it dies you can make a juice drink from it.

Coz doctor drained 150ml of fluid off my knee and he used a Sharpened hose pipe!

ouch...

_{I know, I am a big baby... I want my mummy!}

I was carrying some massive files and miscalculated the distance that a door was open and slammed against the door-frame, jarring head, neck and shoulders. Now I am dizzy and nauseous.

ouch.
i think you now have a reason to not be productive!

I'm sad 'cause Jooli is leaving.

I know just how you feel Keydeck my man.

I'm unhappy because Keydeck is unhappy (even though I don't know who the feck Jooli is).*

_{* now, isn't that a quality post?}

im unhappy because once again I am sitting here waiting for DHL, after speaking with some witch on the phone yesterday she said she would have my rugby tickets delivered after 5pm today, then when I checked the tracking number it says they tried to deliver them yesterday evening...effing liars, unless they stood outside and mimed ding dong noisess at the house, i will be very po'd if they do not show up today.
