ITS BEEN A WHILE.

Gosh I think this is how I start every second tumblr post. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have completely forgotten about you, guys, I'm not gonna lie. It's been an amazing year 2014 and somehow I was a shit person for, while thanking everyone who watches my YouTube videos and everyone who has supported the couple of live gigs I've played, not including you in my new year's thingamajig. Well now I'm gonna make up for it for going thru important news and issues I forgot about as fast as possible.

I've got an EP waiting to get published. It will be up on bandcamp at the end of the month (I hope). There are physical copies, but unless you are willing to travel to Germany and then actually physically visit my parent's bookshop to pick it up... ehm... yeah, sorry, not gonna happen.

2014 - was awesome. the songcontest, gigs, busking for a good cause (Viva con aqua) with a new buddy of mine, singer of the Gribaldies, Mabloni Gribaldi. It was his vote that won me the contest and he's been a big support ever since. Unfortunately, he's moved to Berlin and I really miss him already. Nevertheless, been an amazing year.

YouTube - I'm back. I think I can share with you guys on tumblr why I was missing for so long cause you are traditionally down with that. I have always had bad acne, but for almost half of the last year I've had a really terrible facial scratch that just wouldn't heal up and while I'm always wearing make-up for the videos (MY TERRIBLE SECRET UNVEILED!) this couldn't be covered up so easily. Now it's almost completely healed up and I feel like I'm comfortable with getting back on camera.

Second channel!  I've tried vlogging, some of you might have seen them fail. Now, there's a channel for vloggin, podcasts, gaming, misc. stuff... I have a lot of stuff in my head I just don't know where to fit. It's going on that channel. Please subscribe! :)

And finally, because I've started tumblr with controversial posts and always liked to comment on current going-ons in the world... #CharlieHebdo

Before I picked up a guitar, I wanted to be an author and a journalist. I'm not a particulary funny guy if you put me on the spot, but I've always liked to make satirical jokes and I love satire. The fact that 12 people have been gunned down for doing just that - making a joke, albeit one that potentially hurt religious feelings - shocks me. I feel like these journalists were colleaques of some sorts. I don't know if the terrorist atrocity or the fact this terrible murder is going to be abused by racists and facists like the Front National and the Pegida here in Germany for their own perverted agenda sickens me more.

My thoughts go out to the people of France - including the 6 million muslims and the 600.000 jews. I hope you find it in your hearts to hold together and stand united as a nation, regardless of believe, against this attack on democracy and freedom. The IS and Al-Quaida are as much as a threat to European muslims as they are for any other European and it's about time we realize that and stop attacking innocents because of their beliefs. We must stand united against this. I know I'll be in the lines, alongside my christian, muslim, jewish, atheist and agnostic brethren.

WOW THAT WAS PATHETIC. But it had to be like this.

As always, thank you for reading, tumblr people.
