Has it been already this long since I last posted here? oO And I even had two weeks off from work I could have used to write at least someting. But I failed^^;
Now for some news:
First, I'm not continuing the survey. At least not in the current form. I will collect 1000 question instead of 100. This means there won't be 40 new posts, but only 4 and that does take soem time.
Second, I finally got a new phone after my old one broke. Yes, an old Nokia is NOT indestructable. I should have taken that as a challenge. Would have earned me a lot of EXP. Anyway, it's much easier for me to take pictures now. I don't like running around with a "real" camera.
Third, I am currently into setting up Twitter and Instagram accounts. You can expect them to be opened in the near future. Blogs like these are more or less dying out.
Fourth, for the challenge updates. I failed to lose 15kg in one year. But over 12 isn't also too bad. I doubt that I will ever lose more than 15kg again in the future since I'm not planning on gaining any weight. The last time I have been this "light" must have been in elementary school. Maybe a bit later but I'v always been a bit chubby.
One new challenge has been added to the list and that is to colelct all Pokemon in PKGO. So far, I'm at 23 or 16%. Still a long way to go.
Fifth, sorry for the long pause. Oh, you want to hear what I've been doing during my weeks off? Sure! Well, nothing too fancy. I basically only did one thing and that was attending the Connichi, an anime and manga convention here in Germany with around 25,000 people. I saw a lot of cosplayers (good and bad ones), attended some panels and shows, and of course bought some stuff. Not as much as other people I know, but a bit. The worst part is coming home and realizing it's even more than a year until the next one. Until meeting up with friends, getting yelles at from the angry Chinese guy, being surprised from the mystery bag and many other fun activities. Maybe I'm attending more and other, smaller conventions and meeting until then. And I promise to take pictures. I'm trying!
Until next time o/

#152 - Complete a 5000 Question Survey, Part 10
I know, I know. I messed up in posting on a weekly base. But the last three weeks were hell at work. Out of nearly 20 people in the department, sometimes only 3 or 4 were at work. The others either had vacation or called in sick. I even had to come in on a Saturday and the pile on my desk is getting higher and higher. And to make it worse, I somehow managed to slam my left hand between the wall and the window that fell out so I now have these wonderful dark blue and black fingernails. -.- But I can present to you the 10th part of the questionnaire. That means I'm done with 20% of it and it only took me 3-4 months^^;

#152 - Complete a 5000 Question Survey, Part 9
Hi there o/
So now I'm officially 30 and nothing special happened. Except that I got asked if I would still feel safe, now that terrorism has reached my area. As shocking as the Munich shooting was, killing sprees have been around for centuries or even longer. It's just that many people are gradually becoming more and more paranoid due to extreme political parties and the medias hunger for terror.
There are now people claiming we would need a less strict gun law so that everybody can defend themselves. I call bullshit! I'm feeling more safe knowing that 99.9% of the others around me are not wearing weapons. We need to put more money and effort into integration and enlightenment. But that's just my opinion...
Anyway, I wanted to go a special place near my home and take some pictures of it but the weather turned out to be a dick. Whenever I have to work, it's way over 30°C and raining on the weekend. Nice... But I have another part of the questionnaire for you, which is something.
803. Would you consider yourself to be very polite?
In general, yes.
804. Do you like movies and books that involve nuclear holocaust?
If they’re well made/written. But I’m not totally into that specific genre.
805. Have you ever had a lucid dream (a dream in which you knew you were dreaming and had complete control over what happened in the dream)?
Every once in a while, I can control them for a bit. I really would love to learn lucid dreaming.
806. Have you ever had a flying dream?
More like falling down dreams.
807. Have you ever had a lucid flying dream?
I can’t think of one.
808. What's the oddest law you ever heard of?
There are plenty of them. But one of the most ridiculous is this one: if the driver of a car is male and over 18 and the girl sitting next to him is under 18 and is bare footed, it is considered rape in one of the US states. Can’t remember which one.
809. What is the ultimate way to connect with another person?
Laughing.
810. Can you be intimate with someone without touching him or her?
Sure you can.
811. Can men and women ever really be 'just friends' with no interest in anything more?
Definitely.
813. Are you addicted to this survey like drugs?
Not at all.
814. If your signifigant other wanted to wait for marriage could you hold out or would you leave them (or would you cheat)?
I could hold out. I said it before, love is more than just sex.
852. Sheets: silk or satin?
Silk.
853. Bath: soap or bubbles?
Bubbles.
854. Your best color: blue or red?
Black. Or maybe dark blue.
855. What's your favorite candy?
Chocolate?

900. Would you ever wear seran-wrap?
So now I'm officially 30 and nothing special happened. Except that I got asked if I would still feel safe, now that terrorism has reached my area. As shocking as the Munich shooting was, killing sprees have been around for centuries or even longer. It's just that many people are gradually becoming more and more paranoid due to extreme political parties and the medias hunger for terror.
There are now people claiming we would need a less strict gun law so that everybody can defend themselves. I call bullshit! I'm feeling more safe knowing that 99.9% of the others around me are not wearing weapons. We need to put more money and effort into integration and enlightenment. But that's just my opinion...
Anyway, I wanted to go a special place near my home and take some pictures of it but the weather turned out to be a dick. Whenever I have to work, it's way over 30°C and raining on the weekend. Nice... But I have another part of the questionnaire for you, which is something.

803. Would you consider yourself to be very polite?
In general, yes.
804. Do you like movies and books that involve nuclear holocaust?
If they’re well made/written. But I’m not totally into that specific genre.

Every once in a while, I can control them for a bit. I really would love to learn lucid dreaming.

More like falling down dreams.
807. Have you ever had a lucid flying dream?
I can’t think of one.
808. What's the oddest law you ever heard of?
There are plenty of them. But one of the most ridiculous is this one: if the driver of a car is male and over 18 and the girl sitting next to him is under 18 and is bare footed, it is considered rape in one of the US states. Can’t remember which one.

What's my age again?
Hi o/
I do have to apologize, but I have to get a bit personal today.
Sadly, there won't be any update about any completed missions this week or a new part of the questionnaire. I'm about to complete another thing tomorrow which I've been thinking the entire week. It is the day before my brthday. Not just any one, I'll be turning 30 tomorrow.
"Come on, it's just a number!", you might be thinking. And yes, you're right. But it still made me rethink my life. Most people, I think at least 2/3 of the people I went to school with are already married and/or have kids. And I constantly get the "When do you want to marry and get kids?". To be honest, it will ost likely never gonna happen. I'd be the worst parent you could ever imagine but seeing how some other parents are treating their children...okay, I might not be the worst, but definitely not the best either.
Where am I now? Not only do I turn 30 tomorrow, it's also been exactly 10 years since I graduated. As far as I know, I 'm the only who didn't complete his studies. Didn't complete as in didn't succeed. Back then, I have been way to young and unprepared. I wanted to flee from that unpleasant youth I had. The further, the better. So I studied in a town 5 hours away from home. I knew no one and soon started to feel all alone. I also didn't get quite along with some of my fellow students and went to university less and less until I stayed in my apartment for the whole time. I didn't want to admit that I failed and went through some more time until I finally received the letter that I've been exmatriculated for not showing up to the exams.
At that point, getting kicked out of university was one a minor problem. I've already reached the state of depression. It wasn't about IF I was gonna commit suicide but HOW. Just like 10 years prior to that. It's like a constantly repeating cycle. After my failed studies, I moved back home and shortly before turning 30, I'm still living with my parents. Not because I'd be too lazy (it is kinda convenient) but I'm afraid that I would feel alone and slowly drifting into depression again. I sometimes think bad thoughts can be the same as what alcohol is to former alcoholics. Once you give into them, you'll fall into an unstable state of mind.
Even though I didn't succed in earning a degree, I'm now having a decent job with enough money to live a worry-free life. But the threat of depression is unknowingly filling out almost my entire day. Because of what I had to deal with almost my entire life, I developed some kind of paranoia. It's gotten better but I sometimes still feel like people on the streets are looking at me and think what a failure I am. I know they don't know me or have met me before, I they know how pathetic I am. I try to not let it get into my mind but I can't stop it completely. That's why I don't get out too often. Most of the time, I spend my time off at home, alone in my room. Fantasizing a better life.
The initial thought of this whole project here was to overcome my fears but I haven't achieved shit. I have to admit, it's getting better day after day but I still am more or less the same old guy. even older tomorrow...
Because of spending most of my time home alone, I don't have to many friends. As I said above, most are already having a family of their own. Whereas I'm sitting here, writing about how much of a failure I am. And that is my biggest fear. Turning 60, 70 or 150 and still be al alone. My family will be long dead then, no firends, nothing. One of our neighbours is living a life like that. He's in his mid-fifties, no wife, no kids, no family. Former alcoholic and since 2 weeks, he's unemployed. He also spends all his time alone in his apartment and it fells like that will be my future.
I don't know how others are making friends. Whenever one of my few friends drags me along to parties, I'm the one standing in the corner, of course alone. I know I'm good-looking enough that others would come and talk to me. It even happened to me on the subway that othes prefer to stand the entire ride then sitting next to me. My group of friends already crumbled to 2 or 3, counting only those within the range of being able to see more often. There are other further away, I hope I have the right ot call friends. But it like Johnny cash sang, "Everyone goes away in the end."
No clue of what lies ahead of me or if anything will change after turning 30. I just know that the fear of ending up all alone won't be getting smaller....
And I have to apologize again for getting this personal and maybe a bit boring. I'll try to make it up and arrive with better and more exciting news next week.
Until then, bye o/

Even though I didn't succed in earning a degree, I'm now having a decent job with enough money to live a worry-free life. But the threat of depression is unknowingly filling out almost my entire day. Because of what I had to deal with almost my entire life, I developed some kind of paranoia. It's gotten better but I sometimes still feel like people on the streets are looking at me and think what a failure I am. I know they don't know me or have met me before, I they know how pathetic I am. I try to not let it get into my mind but I can't stop it completely. That's why I don't get out too often. Most of the time, I spend my time off at home, alone in my room. Fantasizing a better life.
The initial thought of this whole project here was to overcome my fears but I haven't achieved shit. I have to admit, it's getting better day after day but I still am more or less the same old guy. even older tomorrow...
Because of spending most of my time home alone, I don't have to many friends. As I said above, most are already having a family of their own. Whereas I'm sitting here, writing about how much of a failure I am. And that is my biggest fear. Turning 60, 70 or 150 and still be al alone. My family will be long dead then, no firends, nothing. One of our neighbours is living a life like that. He's in his mid-fifties, no wife, no kids, no family. Former alcoholic and since 2 weeks, he's unemployed. He also spends all his time alone in his apartment and it fells like that will be my future.
I don't know how others are making friends. Whenever one of my few friends drags me along to parties, I'm the one standing in the corner, of course alone. I know I'm good-looking enough that others would come and talk to me. It even happened to me on the subway that othes prefer to stand the entire ride then sitting next to me. My group of friends already crumbled to 2 or 3, counting only those within the range of being able to see more often. There are other further away, I hope I have the right ot call friends. But it like Johnny cash sang, "Everyone goes away in the end."
No clue of what lies ahead of me or if anything will change after turning 30. I just know that the fear of ending up all alone won't be getting smaller....
And I have to apologize again for getting this personal and maybe a bit boring. I'll try to make it up and arrive with better and more exciting news next week.
Until then, bye o/

#152 - Complete a 5000 Question Survey, Part 8
Before we're coming to part 7 of the questionnaire, I want to tell a bit more about the upcoming plans. First, I'm planning to go out more often and visit some places. But since I'm the one who has no kids, I don't know when to take my days off. Well, in fact I still got 8 days left and it seems, I can't take them all in 2016. Now, the school summer break is coming soon, then I already have two weeks off. Then there's the autumn school break, many national holidays where others are taking their days off and nobody can leave in December. Meh! Anyway, it just means my destinations are all more or less those that can be reached by car within one day. But hey, there are some amazing places I have to visit. My personal highlight will be the "Hermannsdenkmal", the biggest statue in Germany with a height of over 53m. When I'm in Kassel in September, it's only another hour to drive.
I'm planning to achieve more but that has to wait for a bit. More details are coming next week.
Until then, bye o/

Status update
Hi all,
I just posted Pt. 7 of the 5,000 question thingy and realized it has been again over 2 months for me to post something. But I have to say I was really busy. A bit lazy of course like usual, but mostly busy. I started this new job in April and a few afterwards, people started to leave so I got new some new tasks added to the ones I already had. In May, the company decided to set up a new and a functioning ERP software. Guess who's the only one who knows how to do these stuff? Right, me. Then this week all the printers got replaced and of course I had to install the new drivers by myself on every of the 50 PCs -.-
Because of all this trouble, I had almost no chance to work on other missions out of my Bucket List. Except for some, I haven't even planned to do sinceI thought it would be impossible for me to achieve. Like the losing 15kg in a single year. Maybe because of all this stress lately and the lack of lunch therefore, I dropped down to exactly 82.2kg this morning. That means, I lost 10.8kg since the middle of last September. If can lose another 4.8 kg, I suceeded in what I thought would be the most impossible thing on my list. With those additional 10kg, I've lost pretty much exactly 30kg over the last 4 years.
30kg in 4 years! To me, that's just unreal. That's 7.5kg a year or 625g every month or ~21g every single day. That also means, I need to get to 81kg to reach the magical BMI of 25. I never thought, I'd reach the zone of "not being overly fat" ever again. Feeling sort of happy right now and now I'm more than motivated to go even further and finish what I unknowingly started! \o/
Today's lesson: even the impossible can be achieved. Sometimes you just don't pay attention to it.
Until next time o/
