I had two rules for people who wanted me to “let them in”. Don’t lie to me, and don’t take me for granted. Shorter, simpler and better than the ten commandments. However, I’ve recently decided to add one.

If you drink, drank or ever plan to drink coffee from McDonald’s, Burger King, Pizza Hut or some other such place, fuck off. Stay away. Seriously. I have neither time nor patience for someone willing to do that. Why would you drink colored water treated with sewage? And why would you expect me to want to be near you again?

Also, If you say something like this: “Damn it. I want to suck your tongue in public. If they don’t like it, let them go back to their own countries. Seriously.” You’ve won me over already. Period.

Me, I rant, and I philosophise, and I complicate stuff. I think too much. Kreuz…. well, Kreuz just CarpeDiems his way through it all.

First the news: I have been accepted as a researcher at a top university here… one of the best in europe, actually. It’s perfect, I will now be working on my Ph.D., researching a very interesting field, earning good money and will have the stability I have wanted for so long. I’m so excited… things are just fantastic!

In other news, I have sadly learned that i’m a snorer. A terrible snorer. Worse than trains, trams and rowdy football fans. Seriously! This came as a shock to me.

I had known that I snored (a bit) when I didn’t sleep in my own bed, but I’d never known it was like this. A friend had been visiting with me, and I was under the impression that she was sleeping like a baby. Then, a couple of nights ago, my girlfriend stayed over as well… that morning, they both were exchanging glances, and when pressed, admitted that I had waken them up at night. My guest then proceeded to tell me that she would be basically awake between 3 and 7 am because of my snoring, my girl said that it was so bad that she got scared at night, and that she always considered going home because she assumed that 4 hours of actual sleep were better than 8 with the snore monster. My roommate, who’d slept in my room a few nights when we first moved in, came out and said that yes, when I did snore, it was terrible. He apparently could hear me snoring through two shut doors and a thick wall. My cousin suddenly remembered that he used to throw things at me to stop me when I used to sleep over… And blissfully unaware moi had no idea. NONE! Who would imagine that the 3-4 hours of sleep that I get cause so much trouble? Then again, I’d be sleeping, and as one ancient chinese philosopher used to say: “If one snores in one’s sleep, does one hear oneself? That is the question asked to a tree falling noiselessly in the woods while trying to catch a fly with a chopstick.” In other words… who the hell cares?

Finally, I’m pleased and proud to introduce Kreuz!

Kreuz is an over-sexed, under-achieving monster who has no inhibitions. He will be joining us regularly… unless he gets bored and goes away. Please say hi.
