From FT pens to Trasher T-shirts to i-D jackets, merchandising is something nearly every print-publication has to offer nowadays. Wallpaper has houses on sale. Architecture should be highly individual, be something right for yourself and not something you order in a magazine.

NATO and EU could prevent a potentially restarting conflict in Mazedonia now (in case they would have a coherent concept for the Balkan). The next days or weeks will be vital for a longer lasting peace in this region.

VW offered 5000 long-term unemployed people jobs, paying 5000 DM gross. Conditions: 35 'value adding' work hours per week, 7,5 training hours. Problem: The labor-union broke off negotiations. Reason: People presently working at VW have a special union agreement with good conditions. They fear that the management will use the new program to obviate existing agreemements. Opinion: It's poisonous to have an obvious two-class work force. Question: Who to support, unemployed people getting a great chance, or existing workers? The fact that none of the involved parties presented a long-term plan to bridge the gaps shows that many aspects of this discussion remained behind closed doors. All together is a good example for factors missing in corporate and labour Germany (and Austria): Guts and flexibility.

Last night i thought a lot about wishes, here are my top three at the moment:

Witness a revolution: It's a rainy day and i'm reading something, suddenly there's an opinion about how we could get rid of the real big global problems. Not the standard anti-capitalist boilerplate. Someone thought and now speaks, not only about an ultimate goal, but also about a reasonable way to get there. And then, day by day, more people notice, from the media, friends tell them, they learn about it from watching TV or reading a weblog, plain spoken it spreads like a new Budweiser campaign. And they all got something in common: The feeling that it's right. Even the one's who have to abandon a little fancy the idea. It's raining again, i walk through the streets and recognize the world changed for a better, not only for what i preferred. Simply less worse.

Be responsible: I step through the door, walk by different offices and see people sitting in front of iMacs, other workstations, weird plans scribbled on strange things or staring out of windows. I know all the names, what they do or at least should and their peculiarities. They all thrust me and rely on the fact that all everybody needs is there. That i back them up and keep them free of all things they individually can't or don't want to do. Then i do a lot of things which takes a lot of time. It's 3 am and i walk back the same way. The office is deserted, just the noise of countless fans in also almost countless machines. Nobody is there anymore. Tomorrow they come back with the same safe feeling: Being able to do what they can and like best, because i did my job. On the way home i deeply savor the feeling of responsibility.

Feel and make true love: I Open my eyes, blink a few times, still dizzy and recognize the back of a female body in front of me. I sense the feeling of two souls having a passionate alliance. She's still asleep. She gets goose-bumps on her neck because i alternating kiss and blow her skin slightly and then she wakes up, turns around and looks deep into my eyes for minutes. We tell each other so many things which can't be put into words. Only three words are expressed, real and heartfelt "i love you". Then the stereo takes notice of the emotions in the air and starts playing the English Patient soundtrack while we make the most intense love of our lives, ensued by Tricky songs and wild fucks. We're exhausted and absolute.

Wish no. 1 sounds a bit like the "leader" thing we had a few decades ago. One man had a master plan for a better world and all the media was pushing it! Think about it! It's not possible for a single person to find a plan to make the world better. Everybody of us has to change little things and the amount of all this little things will bring a big change. The problem is that everybody thinks changing just a little bit in his small part of the world will change nothing. If we all would help to make the world a little it would be much better....

If you are searching for the perfect love, you will not find it. 'Cause you will find that out after a certain period of time in a relationship. Sometimes you will find this love where you've never searched....

Hi. Wishes often imply something that will never happen. We both won't fly across the universe, but it's cool to think how it would be. Same with number one (at least in this form). It's also about an idea or issue, not about a person. In a democracy the world should be what the majority want it to be. Everybody counts.

"Eh kloar, oba wast eh..."
