Du bist kein Schnitzel, Du bist ein Wissenschaftler.

Das mag nicht für alle Sinn machen, aber es war witzig. :)
Danke für's Mut machen und Zuhören liebe L.

Und Euch eine Gute Nacht!!

Free me...

piataki — 2006-05-28T21:43:00Z

Being with you
Longing for something to happen
Biting my tongue
Hoping to get a reaction
Atmosphere's tense
Heavy with anticipation
Don't leave me here
With only my imagination

Free me

[Chorus:]
Now Free me let me loose to love you
Yeah how i long to seduce you oh
Free me let me loose to love you Yeah how i long to seduce you now

How long can i
Continue to suffer in silence
My achin' heart
Can't bear to wait in such suspense
So maybe its time
To tell you just how i am feeling
This full on desire, i have too long been concealing

Free Me

[Chorus]

Free Me
Free Me

(EMMA BUNTON)

Because Of You...

piataki — 2006-05-05T07:59:00Z

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

(KELLY CLARKSON)

Zitat des Tages: Starke Demokratie?

piataki — 2006-05-04T17:10:00Z

Wenn wir dem nächsten Jahrtausend [] die Demokratie bewahren wollen, dann müssen die bittersüßen Früchte der Wissenschaft unseren demokratischen Zielen untergeordnet und dazu gebracht werden, die kostbaren demokratischen Prozesse zu erleichtern und nicht zu unterminieren. Und ob die gelingt, wird nicht von der Qualität und dem Charakter unserer Technologie abhängen, sondern von der Qualität unserer politischen Institutionen und dem Charakter unserer Bürger.

(Benjamin Barber 1998, 132)

Warten...

piataki — 2006-04-29T15:14:00Z

" 'Keine Zeit' - gibt es nicht. Nur andere Prioritäten."

(Michael A. Denck (*1967), dt.-amerik. Betriebswirt)

"Zeit = Die Seele der Welt."

(aus Griechenland)

...so unterschiedlich kann man die Dinge sehen.

...sagt mein Papa immer. Der hat es nicht erfunden, aber von dem kenne ich es. Konnte übrigens nicht rausfinden wer es geschrieben hat. Wer es also weiß - bitte posten, thx.

Guten Morgen allerseits und besonder der lieben Shania*

Be Without You...

piataki — 2006-04-27T07:19:00Z

I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you

Chemistry was crazy from the get-go
Neither one of us knew why
We didn't build nothing overnight
Cuz a love like this takes some time
People swore it off as a phase
Said we cant see that
Now from top to bottom
They see that we did that (yes)
Its so true that (yes)
Weve been through it (yes)
We got real sh** (yes)
See baby we been...

Too strong for too long (and I cant be without you baby)
And Ill be waiting up until you get home (cuz I cant sleep without you baby)
Anybody whos ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just cant be without your baby

I got a question for ya
See I already know the answer
But still I wanna ask you
Would you lie? (no)
Make me cry? (no)
Do somethin behind my back and then try to cover it up?
Well, neither would I, baby
My love is only your love (yes)
Ill be faithful (yes)
Im for real (yes)
And with us youll always know the deal
Weve been...

Too strong for too long (and I cant be without you baby)
And Ill be waiting up until you get home (cuz I cant sleep without you baby)
Anybody whos ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just cant be without your baby

See this is real talk
Im always stay (no matter what)
Good or bad (thick and thin)
Right or wrong (all day everyday)
Now if youre down on love or dont believe
This aint for you (no, this aint for you)
And if you got it deep in your heart
And deep down you know that its true (come on, come on, come on)
Well, let me see you put your hands up (hands up)
Fellas tell your lady shes the one (fellas tell your lady shes the one, oh)
Put your hands up (hands up)
Ladies let him know he's got your love
Look him right in his eyes and tell him
Weve been...

Too strong for too long (and I cant be without you baby)
And Ill be waiting up until you get home (cuz I cant sleep without you baby)
Anybody whos ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just cant be without your baby

I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you

(MARY J. BLIGE)

A Long December...

piataki — 2006-04-24T23:06:00Z

A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as You were leaving
Now the days go by so fast

And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven...I wish you would

The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl

And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California...I think you should

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things You could not show her
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass

And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...I guess I should...

(Counting Crows)

Er ist's!

piataki — 2006-03-20T19:17:39Z

Frühling läßt sein blaues Band
Wieder flattern durch die Lüfte;
Süße, wohlbekannte Düfte
Streifen ahnungsvoll das Land.
Veilchen träumen schon,
Wollen balde kommen.
Horch, von fern [ein] leiser Harfenton!
Frühling, ja du bist's!
Dich hab ich vernommen!

Eduard Mörike (1804-1875)

Sonne und Tanz...

piataki — 2006-02-08T20:34:39Z

"Lieber einmal in der Sonne als ständig hinterm Mond."

unbekannt

"Tanzen ist die Poesie des Fußes."

John Dryden (1631-1700), engl. Dichter

"Ich lobe den Tanz, denn er befreit den Menschen von der Schwere der Dinge, bindet den Vereinzelten zu Gemeinschaft./ Ich lobe den Tanz, der alles fordert und fördert, Gesundheit und klaren Geist und eine beschwingte Seele./ O Mensch lerne tanzen, sonst wissen die Engel im Himmel mit dir nichts anzufangen."

Aurelius Augustinus oder auch Aurelius von Hippo (354-430), Bischof u. Kirchenlehrer

Ghetto Gospel...

piataki — 2006-02-06T22:31:37Z

Uhh,
Hit them with a lil' ghetto gospel

[Chorus - Elton John:]
Those who wish to follow me (My ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior without the sound of guns

[2Pac]
If I could recollect before my hood dayz
I'd sit and reminisce, nigga and bliss on the good dayz
I stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to'em
They tested, it was stressed that they under
In our days, things changed
Everyone's ashamed to the youth cuz the truth looks strange
And for me it's reversed, we left them a world that's cursed, and it hurts
cause any day they'll push the button
and yall condemned like Malcolm x and Bobby Hunton, died for nothin
Don't them let me get teary, the world looks dreary
but when you wipe your eyes, see it clearly
there's no need for you to fear me
if you take the time to hear me, maybe you can learn to cheer me
it aint about black or white, cuz we're human
I hope we see the light before its ruined
my ghetto gospel

[Chorus - Elton John]

[2Pac]
Tell me do you see that old lady aint it sad
Living out a bag, but she's glad for the little things she has
And over there there's a lady, crack got her crazy
Guess she's given birth to a baby
I don't trip and let it fade me, from outta the frying pan
We jump into another form of slavery
Even now I get discouraged
Wonder if they take it all back while I still keep the courage
I refuse to be a role model
I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle
I make mistakes, I learn from everyone
And when its said and done
I bet this Brotha be a better one
If I'm upset, you don't stress
Never forget, that God hasn't finished with me yet
I feel his hand on my brain
When I write rhymes, I go blind, and let the lord do his thang
But am I less holy
Cuz I choose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies
Before we find world peace
We gotta find peace in that war on the streets
My ghetto gospel

[Chorus - Elton John]

[2Pac]
Lord can you hear me speak!!
To pay the price of being hell bound...

(2PAC und ELTON JOHN)

Johannes Rau

piataki — 2006-01-27T22:20:58Z

"Das Ideal meiner Politik ist es, das Leben der Menschen im Laufe der Jahre ein Stückchen menschlicher zu machen." - Dezember 1985

"Ich will nie ein Nationalist sein, aber ein Patriot wohl. Ein Patriot ist jemand, der sein Vaterland liebt, ein Nationalist ist jemand, der die Vaterländer der anderen verachtet. Wir aber wollen ein Volk der guten Nachbarn sein, in Europa und in der Welt." - nach seiner Wahl zum Bundespräsidenten, 23. Mai 1999

"Im Angesicht des Volkes Israel verneige ich mich in Demut vor den Ermordeten, die keine Gräber haben, an denen ich sie um Vergebung bitten könnte. Ich bitte um Vergebung für das, was Deutsche getan haben, für mich und meine Generation, um unserer Kinder und Kindeskinder willen, deren Zukunft ich an der Seite der Kinder Israels sehen möchte." - vor der Knesset in Jerusalem, 16. Februar 2000

Ich mochte Johannes Rau. Toller Mensch. Schade, dass er nicht noch ein bißchen mehr Zeit hatte.
Wer mehr Zitate hat (der Mann hat viele kluge Sachen gesagt) bitte in den Kommentaren posten, ich bin auch noch auf der Suche. Thx.

A Voice within...

piataki — 2006-01-18T17:18:06Z

When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Young girl, don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away
Young girl, just hold tight
And soon you're gonna see your brighter day

Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you're lost outside look inside to your soul

(CHRISTINA AGUILERA)

Unwritten...

piataki — 2006-01-06T23:53:42Z

I am Unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your innovations
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inner visions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inner visions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, yeah, yeah
