N/A

German study. Encountered a wall. Pronouns and interrogative. Declension. Must memorise. Must read Guy de Maupassant. Am listening to interviews conducted by Howard Stern. Alec Baldwin. He lost weight, approx. 30 lbs. Married again. Kim Basinger was beautiful in Natural. The movie w/ Robert Redford. Sundance Houston Cinema. UTAH. The only US state which ends in H. I found To Rome With Love disappointing. I can no longer enjoy the stories where an audience is expected to believe that only optimistic events happen in "romantic cities", because the problems of existence follows one everywhere.
  German study. A wall. Declension and conjugation. Declension. Declension. Declension. Declension. Tables. Duden German Dictionary.
  Demonoid.me is "down". Chuck's Zito's cousin. 7 years old and brain tumor. 8 years old and cancer. A few days ago, I saw a child with underdeveloped bones near Medical Center. Nobody gives a shit. They all care about "cars and shit". Should have brought other study material than Ger. grammar. Howard Stern is cynical. Is cynical sanity? Isn't apathy a solution? He has little understanding about this universe. David Choe. Where does he live now? Presumably, he is successful.
  The forum on Steven Soderbergh, imdb.com. Too simplistic perspective. Either one is sell-out and rich&famous, or one is true to himself and poor&unknown. The "sad, pathetic bastards" on imdb Forum seem to think that Steven Soderbergh is a sell-out and most of his movies is bad. What was I going to write? Forget. Oublier. Oublié. The Raven.

Träume, translation.

Träume, die bei Nacht entstehen
Und am Tag vergehen
Sind meistens garnicht wahr
Weil sie unter den Millionen
Unsrer Illusionen
Geboren sind

Träume sind wie ferne Wolken
Denen andre folgen
Solang es Leben gibt
Sag mir, sag wohin sie treiben
Wo sie einmal bleiben
Weiss nur der Wind

Wie ein Wunder ist die Welt
Jeder Baum und jedes Feld
Wie ein Wunder ist die Welt

Träume, die uns nichts bedeuten
Sollte man beizeiten
Mit andern Augen sehn
Weil sie oftmals unser Denken
Auf die Wege lenken
Die wir dann gehen

Dreams that arise in the night
And fade in the day
Mostly aren’t true
Because like this among millions
Our illusions are born

Dreams are like far-off clouds
Which other follow
As long as there is live
Tell me, tell, where they drive to
Where they will once stay
Only the wind knows this

Like a wonder is the world
Each tree and each field
Like a wonder is the world

Dreams that don’t mean anything to us
we should see
With other eyes in time
‘cause they often lead our thinking
To those paths
Which we then follow.
