Hey everyone. It's been a very long long time, since I uploaded anything. I've been too busy writing and working. Since this whole scocial decay is wearing me out and there is almost nothing you can do about the madness we are surrounded by, I decided to just focus on my book. I'd like to talk more about it, but it is still too early for a reveal. I won't come back online for the rest of the year, unless I have finished my novel and can finally look for a publisher. Until then I hope you all are happy and healthy. Take care of yourselves and stay focused. Stay happy. And of course, stay safe.Goodbye for now.Dean
I was thinking about a very disturbing nightmare I once had. It's possible that I have talked abut this before, but for some reason... It won't let go of me. So I decided to talk about it one more time.After this part I rant about a rather useless article that I found once again on the vastness of the internet. About the dangers of beeing single too long and the cliches it brings with it. As seen and read on so many other articles...Cheers!

Man I love this old show. I just finished watching Angel season 1 to 5 after so many years and i really have to say, it's worth every second. I personally enjoyed it a lot more than Buffy, but that is because of the darker tone the story overall had. Aside from some really crazy episodes like the puppet episode on season 7. (genius)I'll start rambling about the new reboot being planned, some of my favourite actors passing away over the years, due to the shocking news of Michelle Trachtenbergs passing.But what can you do? As sad as it is, it's a part of life... She did die way way too young, but we can't do anything about that...Enough for now... Cheers folks!
Hey everyone. I've been hitting episode Nr. 100 in this podcast, but I can't seem to find anything remotely cool to talk about, except that I have been thinking a lot about mortality lately. And with it, the choices I made and the time I have left to create something of meaning for myself. Because I am and always will be an artist by heart.Time is short and it only becomes shorter. So take all opportunities you can to reach any goal you desire before it fades away. No other person can do that for you, except yourself.

On Marriage.com, I found an article that I find a bit difficult to take seriously. Take a look here:'https://www.marriage.com/advice/relationship/emotionally-broken-man/I'm not saying that these points are invalid, but I don't see how this article helps shedding light on current issues in society. Not all men going through rough phases become emotionally broken. Using a term like "broken", suggests the person in question is scared for life. Is that always the case? Some of these examples describe situations that we all can face, or have faced before, but that doesn't mean somebody is broken. What this article does best is to give some hobby psychologist a reason to judge a friend, or their own partner of becoming emotionally broken. Even if just one of these examples here could be true, doesn't mean to the end of the world, or a necessary labling of "broken" to be applied to an individual.But hey... I could also just be overdramatising..
Hey, I'm back sooner then expected.I wanted to talk about a guy from work whom I offered friendship which he squandered completely due to jealousy and paranoia.Unfortunately, he will never be able to learn from his mistakes.
Scammers are getting worse and worse on platforms like Facebook dating, Instagram or Telegram and many many more. My experiences are often the same, with reoccurring patters. This crap will never stop any time soon...
boy oh boy, I'm getting slow here... Th fist half of this episode is about my only blood brother in the family and our falling out. It's the first 30 minutes. The other half is about a subject, that I firmly disagree with. A.I. will not be able to replace teachers. Why I am in favour of A.I. over a human being and how we as a people could benefit from it. Never underestimate the A.I. brothers and sisters ;)
Something that I always love to do, is play and experiment from time to time with PC Hardware and Linux. Currently, I'd like to replace an old system with a newer and better one, for retro gaming, Internet, Netflix and other streaming sevices, as well as playing real media such as blu-rays. Before we get there, the first 20 minutes are updates to my life and some woman I'd like to date, but probably won't happen. The other story is a guy at work who is freaking out and blaming me for things I never did. But hey... You got crazy people all around... what can you do... Hope you enjoy!
So there I am back again at my desk after returning from my vacation in Athens. It was a blast for me to see my friends there and had a great time. This episode is all about that trip, the food, the landscape and some other things :D If you haven't been there, get off your ass :D
Hello everyone. I find it quite troubling, that we live in a world in witch some people claim hobbies aren't so important, or not having hobbiees doesn't matter too much. It's the question as to how you regenerate yourself with distracting activities. But I don't think that anyone should just look for pure distractions. And I think I might be able to explain why. Cheers!

Francisco Ibáñez was during my teenage years my absolute favorite artist in thr world. My favorite comic book artist, that is. His gag-comic style was so profoundly exciting and provocative, brutal and insanely creative, that it knocked me off my feet when reading them for the first time. He was the main reason, why I started to see comic book art as a profession, instead of just a hobby. (look who is talking, I ain't making no money xD) I just learned that he sadly passed away last year, which broke my heart. the guy was just increadible and maybe you can find some joy in his work as well. Cheers! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Ib%C3%A1%C3%B1ez_Talavera
Eric Barone is the developer behind Stardew Valley. It took him 4 years to develop the game and a very tight cycle of dedicated work. Even managed to maintain a relationship with his long term girldfriend, to my surprise xD. If you have never heard of this guy and his efforts, check him out and search for some good articles or even interviews online. His success is truly inspirational. Cheers!

The first part will be an update on my artworkt, including something that I have posted on instagram recently. The rest is a rant about the ongoing debate in america: Is it better to be pro life or pro choice. I personally can't see a good argument for pro life in any way. In this day and age, I find it shameful that we still need to talk about this crap and why it is imprtant to let others make those choices, since it is their body and no one elses. Germany had little to no problems with these things, since we pretty much managed it way better. This topic however ties in very nicely in an article I have found a few days ago, about a woman who is sick and tired of the ignorance surrounding her and her "childless" life. Childfree is her statement to that and I have to say, with a lot of mature and meaningful reasoning behind her claim. I can resonate with her pretty well, because I have heard the same garbage for many years myself. The link to the article is here: https://www.eltern.de/kinderwunsch/leben-ohne-kinderwunsch--kinderlos--nein--ich-bin-kinderfrei---12361600.html Since it's German, you might want to use a translator for the page. Well... hang in there guys, this year has just begun and we haven't blown ourselves up just yet. I raise my scotch to you Cheers!
Yes, they are back. Old and grey but here to save the day. Just rambling away at the new Frozen Empire movie comming out and how excited I am to see it. I cna't share the criticism from some folks on social media. What good does that do? We have the original cast once again back together in... well. what seems to be a longer screen time for the whole bunch. The new stars fit the universe just nicely, so this is really the absolut best we can ever get. So let them come back for one more adventure, let us just enjoy this thing and forget the messy real world for once, okay? Cheers!
I like ranting about this topic, since I strongly believe, that I know what money is good for and what you can and should do with it. I noticd that I go a little off the railes sometimes when I rant and talk to much, but in the end I do mean well. Money is a tool after all. Cheers and c u soon!

If the bad news recently wasn't enough, another one of my friends has become single. After a 10 year running relationship, the miss was or is unhappy and decided to leave him 2 days before christmas. Amazing right? Well, welcome to the twisted minds of self righteous women in this day and age. Some things never change
This is a sad episode about 2 men doing all they could for their wives, but lost in the end. This episode contains the topic of suicide and depression. If you are dealing with severe problems, mentel healt issues or any similar problem, do not hesitate to call this hotline (US citizens) 988 For Germany call 0800 / 11 10 111 Or check out these websites: Germany https://www.deutsche-depressionshilfe.de/ US https://www.helpguide.org/ https://www.nimh.nih.gov/ There are many ways to deal with this, but sometimes a friend is the best option. Opening up can be hard, but it is still the better alternative. Dean
Hello again. Long time no speak... Today I wanted to get some ideas off my chest about which activities to follow when you are single. It is vital to stay occupied is what I am trying to say here, as well as maintaining a stable and healthy lifestyle. It might be true that I am mainly talking out of my ass here, because it all sounds really simple, even thought the battle with our own loneliness can be quite tough. But it changes nothing, it is vital beyond belief to feel at ease with yourself, no matter what kind of person you are. I know it can be hard as hell to face life alone sometimes. But it does get better. You just got to work through it, just like in everything else in life. Cheers!
