...after 9 months of research, hard mental labour and lots of typing the 74 pages about Intercultural (or multicultural) Literature in Germany are finally done! My extra paper on Literature Skandals is also finished and the only thing that i will have to worry about is my presentation at the end of August!

So it is time for me to take that well deserved vacation for the next 2 and a half weeks!! For those visiting my account, either 'friends' or 'enemies': HAVE A NICE VACATION/SUMMER AS WELL!!!

CHEERS!!!!

It was a nice sunny day - cold, not that clear sky, but at least a somehow sunny day.
April's 1st day, the Fools Day, all day long.
First thing in the morning, waking up - as early as possible for the fragile nature of a student (and assistant), to be honest a little bit late...
Waking up late means no breakfast, and more importantly no coffee and cigarette; only be-fast-to-catch-the-f***ing-bus in order to be on time for an extraordinary, 2 hours long enduring lecture about "skandals". I was on time. Thank the allmighty divine powers, we still have got right to the academic quarter breaks! Usefull for me in all cases that morning, cause i got my double espresso, my toast and my 5 minutes smoking pleasure...
And as it is for everything in this life meant to happen, this lecture's 2 hours came finally to an end. 11:00 o'clock and i had to run to the train station. Why? I had to be at 12:00 at my work. At the airport. And i ran as a fool i was. Because i am really convinced this particular Day was just meant for me!
I ran to be on time and i was indeed on time at my work. 11:45 to be more exact.
The next 15 minutes were the most painful. Not only for the reason my left foot's corn was burning (from the running obviously)...i was becomming acquainted to the not-that-sofisticated way of releasing someone from his/hers current occupation with the senseless notion: "You're not needed any more". I can say, that on that point my surprise was so big, i thought the person opposite me was really 'fooling' me because of the day.
It was until she continued about it, when i realised that this wasn't a joke at all. It was a serious matter of 'saving money' and 'filling up hours', by putting in my place a fulltimer. Logical, yes. Rightfull, no.
In the end she turned to me: "And it's not a Fool's Joke".
Well, i had to laugh...i couldn't keep myself...i had a great laugh, while leaving her office, which left her now in total surprise. I still hear her following me at the corridor and asking me 'if i was well'.

12:30 and i was standing on the train station plattform, still trying to put myself together.
I have lost my job on a Fool's Day

For a New Lyric...

Well, i decided to put a poem on the favorite lyric part of my account. The poem just came into my mind, while writting my post to the HappyBirthday threat. It just popped out of my memory...i always loved that poem, so hier it is for anyone interested to read.......................................>

I also came to the conclusion, that noone is interested to the whole game idea we had some weeks ago, so the previous blog is not needed any more. If anyone is still interested into, he/she can check my blogs.

That's it for tonight...am going for some sleep...if any...
ChEeRs to AlL of YoU!!!
SmIle WiTh EvErY ShIne!!

The general idea(for those who have not yet had the pleasure of taking part at the pumpkin-alphabet-game-threat): To have a game/fun threat(s) pinned on the fan section or else on the website. Reggealuv has sent a message to PMM, asking if there is a possibility for doing it.

This is a list of the proposed games. For any changes/adds send a comment. Bullet said he/she will make a list of games as well, so keep looking and suggesting.

Except of the abc-game (see articles submitted by fans, 4th article, "something fun"):

- never ending story (by last_rose. I know this game, we used to play it at the poz.com and it is very fun! As Rose said you begin with a sentence and the next one adds it and so on.)

- caption game (by reggae and bullet. Pictures of the band. We have to come up with the best caption...see also at SP-myspace.)

- lyrics game (by bullet. One begins with words at random from a song, the other one has to fill them. The one that does it goes on. Of course and for the sake of the game itself, i'd love it if the filling of the gaps don't have to be right.)

- question game (by me. One puts a question, the other one answers. Only the one that has the right answer goes on. Basic rule: Only descriptive questions. Second rule: Make it as tricky as possible....we talk about questions of all kinds, related to the pumpkins (lyrics, albums, titels, members, old and new pumpkin stories, gossip, touring dates, news, whatever...)]

- contest games (i thing reggaeluv had this idea)

- picture game (by bullet. you have 2 pictures, 1 has things added to it, and you have to find all the things that were added to it.)

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS ARE VERY WELCOME! SEND A COMMENT OR A PM!

I am sorry guys for this blog today; i made use of my account to dedicate a song in memory of my grandfather, who passed away last night, while spleeping.

Althought he wasn't my grandfather by blood, he was always there, in my heart, and therefore twice my granddaddy...

I thank his soul for all the care and love he gave me and my brother...

I got my first 100 comments! YaY!
Reason to celebrate! French wine anyone?!?! I got beer too.
:-p

I have to say that it is the first time in my life i make it to 100 posts in an official (fan) website, which can only mean that i like SP.com and all of you guys!

THANX!

Seems like the prospect of SP comming to the Netherlands has worked like a medicin...:-p

To all the dutch ppl going to the show at Brabendthalle well, HAVE A GREAT ROCKING TIME!!!
It is a pitty i am not able to come too. Next time better!

Rock on!

We FANS are masters and commanders upon a band's members.
Especially the frontmen/women.
We buy, so we pay, so they ow.
And when the sound system of the club or the hall is crapy, it is the fault of the ones 'on stage'.
The ticket was expensive, that's also the fault of the band.
The beer was shit, also their fault.
And because we couldn't sleep the night before, because of the excitement, oh yes...still the fault of the band.
Because we had to wait sooooooo long of course!
We buy, we pay, they ow.
So they also cannot complain about nearly anything.
Complain, hmmm what's that? You have no right to!
You ow, remember?
Your opinion? How dare!
And especially jokes shouldn't be included in the programme.
We take them too personally.
We're so infiltrated that any sarcasm is too much for our sensitive souls.
Cause we are loyal.
And we might get a trauma, you know.
Besides we pay and buy, you should first bow, play like at least 2 and half hours, preferring of course the typical catchy songs - good for everyone.
And what's that Zeitgeist thing?
Run off of english vocabulary and chose a german word?
Can't you change that crappy clothing?
What's wrong with the voice?
What kind of music is that you're playing?
Be good and pleasant on stage.
Above all show no emotions.
And most important, remember we buy, we pay, you ow.

Cause no guys, you didn't do it by your self.
You're our creation.
And when you were on your own, we were there.

Yeah, you ow us much. So be a good machine and listen to us fans, cause we know better.

PATHETIC! JUST PATHETIC! WE ARE F****ING PATHETIC!

I am really growing tired of the asso-so-called-loyal-pumpkin-fan-smalltalk and moaning about the 'ego' billy and the 'crappy' shows! And all the alike idiotic comments i have read till now on this website and was forced to as idiotically answer to them...

IT'S ALL TOOTHPASTE IN YOUR MOUTHS. YOU APPLY IT, YOU USE IT AND THEN YOU SPIT IT OUT IN WHICHEVER DIRECTION POSSIBLE JUST BECAUSE IT HAS A BAD TASTE. BUT IT CLEANED YOUR TEETH.

i see that noone took notice of the blog above, so i'll go on writting my nonsense.

Today i discovered that i am one of the few to have an avatar that is not a photo of the SP or of myself. I would like to introduce you to my avatar.

The cats name is Lucretia. A ludicrous name, for the most lame cat in the world of comics. Lucretia's charakter is that of a rebel, always against evrything and everyone. She's an utterly lazy, unsatisfied, sexmaniac and bitterly sarcastic cat. Lucretia's evil (from times to times) takes form in mocking her cat-friend, Castrito (the name already explains much). Whenever he asks her "Why do you have sex on our mind all the time?", she'd simply answer "Because i can't have it anywhere else!".
She's living in a house with a very-VERY-ol' lady, whose husband kolonel died during "i-don't-know-which-war".

So, when i joined this site as a member, Lucretia wanted a favour. Well, not of the 'usual' favours she asks wandering street cats (am a gal and human-unfortunately can't help her with that), but to set a pic of hers as an avatar on my account. Since she is psycho with everything non-conformistic, she agreed to pose in an alike-corganish-style in frond of the microfone (which she later stole). Couldn't however get her to hold a guitar too. She wanted to "shine with all her catty-body for everyone" and the guitar took much place of the pic...

So herrrrrrrrrrrre she is now, the most ludicrous cat, Lucretia, for everyone to be seen and admired. If anyone is interested in her, please click on the english link below to get to know her:

You are of course free to have a look at the rest of the characters. I only have to add, that the fellow drawing them has never made himself publickly known, so the name Arkas is a pseudonym.

CHEERS TO YOU ALL GOING THE UPCOMMING SHOWS!

PS: The story with the picture and the favour is of course a ludicrous fiction...

...Greek:

3 Arguments that Jesus was Irish:
- He never got married
- He never held a steady job
- His last request was a drink

3 Arguments that J was Puerto Rican:
- His first name was Jesus
- He was always in trouble with the law
- His mother didn't know who his father was

3 Arguments that J was Italian:
- He talked with his hands
- He had wine with every meal
- He worked in the building trades

3 Arguments that J was Afro:
- He called everybody brother
- He had no permanent address
- Nobody would hire him

3 Arguments that J was a Californian;
- He never cut his hair
- He walked around barefoot
- He invented a new religion

And finally,

the proof that J was Greek:
- He went to his father's business
- He lived at home til the age of 33
- He was sure his mother was a virgin
- His mother was sure he was a God

NOTE: Please do NOT take any offence, if any of you happens to be of a christian belief, an irish, a puerto rican, an italian, an afro (= from africa), a californian or a greek (=am myself half dutch, half greek). It is meant as a JOKE...

NOTE 2: If you have any further suggestions...feel free!
