Haven't written for a long time.
7 weeks of working @ Brady.
8 weeks since I left Düren again.
8 busy busy weeks, loads of traveling, moving & building up furniture.
And now it's time for the usual 'hole' Jochen has once he takes time for relaxing.
But...just start at the beginning...
8 weeks ago, just after having partied with Alex & Pierre from JSP first in Düsseldorf, then in Schalke....I packed my stuff into my little black Corsa...and was 'gone' again.
Still sorry for my mum, as it must be even tougher for her to see myself leaving one after another time ....but...even though I felt more than happy finishing up with the waiting for a job...I feel strange as well.
Here we go! Goodbye old place. Welcome new place.
My beliefs weren't shattered...I was going to find an appartment as quick as possible...
So, on a Tuesday morning I made my way down south, direction Darmstadt.
Staying at Sven's place made life easier...and after two days of visiting 15 flats I had received already what I needed.
1) My cold...which was obvious after a bit of too much stress.
2) A fun moment. Life seems soooo simple sometimes. Getting to know Anne while visiting her flat. She should be the person I met most between this day and mid November.
...Taking a Thursday in bed, without having found a flat yes...I went off again.
France, here we are!!
Firstly to Reims, visiting Nicolas...and secondly going to Bar-sur-Aube (Troyes) for Marion & Lionel's wedding. Great to see them and Mikkael again, great to feel that 2 people are really made for each other.
Heading back to Frankfurt on Sunday night to the Marriot hotel, which should be my home place for the next month...
And, Monday morning, 1st October...A NEW LIFE begins. Working for Brady.
Having two weeks of 'inhouse training', getting to know all departments...and then...the real stress ,-) began.
Within the last 5 weeks I have been a bit everywhere.
England, Wales, Belgium (twice), France for training, projects or a 'teambuilding seminar', several exhibitions in Germany (Munich, Jena)...busy busy...
Obviously I started playing soccer in Darmstadt...on the 2nd working day ,-) and...
jipieee....I am now fond of playing finally for the 'right' team for the first time of my life.
Blue and white. 04 !!! FcA Darmstadt 04, Blau und weiß wie lieb ich Dich.
Unfortunately I won't be able to play games before February, but at least the guys are fun...
What else?
Surprisingly, I still say I like work...and this after already 7 weeks....where shall this end!?!?
Jochen likes sth for a period of 7 weeks without feeling bored...AMAZING!!!
...My weekends I mostly spent in IKEA's, buying furniture for my flat which I found in mid-October and moved in begin of November...
Just shortly after this...I celebrated my Housewarming party....and some blokes did the way from far away!!
Thanks to Stephan & Anke, Markus, Sylvain, Andrea, Alexandre, Marc, Maurice, Niklas, Sven, Dennis, my flatmate Bastian and his girlfriend Anne.
Thanks for a great evening!!!
And thanks to my new Singaporean friend Azam who couched my place just one week after...
And now...now my flat is nearly entirely furnished, I'm spending my first relatively calm weekend after 2 months...and the hole is back....The obvious question return.
WHY???? SHOULD I???
I'm thinking of me leaving again and again. Firstly Düren, then Gelsenkirchen, then Surcenord, Gelsen again, then Annecy, then Oxford...for heading 8 months away from all on worldtour, leaving Düren again, Frankfurt, to finally arrive in Darmstadt.
And here , 24 11 07, it is again...the question WHY:
Why can't I stay at a place as most of my 'mates' can?
Why do so few people CARE about me and why is it mostly ME who's thinking of visiting them?
Why do people I really appreciate such as Anne suddenly became indifferent about me?
Why does it hurt so much to be alone?
Will I ever be able to stay friend with sb?
And why the hell am I so careless about Schalke at the moment?
Today, yes, I admit, I'm afraid. Afraid of spending such a New Year's Eve as last year.
Last year I had my 'reveillon dos suenhos' in Florianapolis, alone in a crowd...
Today I would like to have YOU at my side, keeping me in your arms.
C'est pas marqué dans les livres
le plus important à vivre
c'est vivre au jour le jour
pourtant, c'est de l'amour
Senorita, lo que pasa es que...
hay alguna cosa que me falta en mi vida
TUYO!!!
