Since I don not drink any alcohol —I never drunk much and I have not drunk any, excluding the glass of champagne at new years eve, for over 5 years now— I have some different ides of party. At least the alcohol is one part of it. I am totally OK with other people partying with alcohol and I can have fun with many of them, the difference is just that I do not really enjoy it as much as I do other styles of ‘party’.

I have much more fun in joining together at home or a friends place and cooking dinner, grilling, playing board games or watching a movie, going to the cinema and sitting down afterwards at a nice bar to talk a little, going to a ‘real concert’ (not a cover band) or going on a trip together to another city where an event is taking place.

I understand that it is different but at the same time it is the same. Everybody wants to interact with other people. The once go out to a disco, others go to restaurants and I have my preferences. The only thing thats a little hard about it is to find the people who enjoy the same as you do. For many its easy cause they like the same as most do but for some others it is not that easy cause they like something different than the mass of our population.

It is kinda like with the career —I already wrote about it—: do you have to fit one hole or can you dig your own and others join you, can you take the smaller hole where less people are digging or do you have to dig where everybody else is digging. I would say you can go your own way but most of the time you have to be prepared to be alone for quiet some time and push yourself a little to at least get to know others at ‘normal’ party places.

Most people know I am not that much into ‘religion’ / ‘god’. But I am very much into thinking about all of it. And this video is very interesting to think about.

In the end it comes down to a clean, ordered and uncluttered work-area which makes me happy and helps me to get work done.

Just for those who don’t know the other posts yet, here is a quick collection of what I have written:

• My Desks are at SimpleDesks (2010-04-27)
• Updated Desk 1.5 (2010-03-26)
• My Desk (2009-02-10)
• One more link where you can have a look at the evolution of the desk is Deskography

Now have a look at the 4 new photos and enjoy:

I found it interesting enough to look some matches in Spain and to photograph there but for now here are the photos about the world-cup published by the BigPicture:

• Opening Weekend
• Halway in
• 2010 World-Cup comes to a close

I hope you enjoy the photos!

So people lets go. Lets do this and get it done! The question is good. The answer unknown.

Update:
Ok, the subject of the term paper changed due to the problem that I noticed that it would be pretty hard to get something scientific about this school question. There are many great resources where you can look at but nothing a teacher at my school would count as scientifically usable material. Now the subject of the term paper will be Socially Responsible Investment as Demonstrated by Micro-Financing. It is also a subject I already worked on, am personally interested in and have lots of books about. Now I just need to work it out properly!

All that is pretty hard. But I kind a like it hard. Keeping my self busy.

I am right now having my last day here in Valencia, Spain and it was awesome, and I found exactly that: people I can contact if I come to their country to stay with them — or at least I can ask if there is a possibility to stay and if not, they can help me find one.

And in addition — besides staying at their places — you get to know other cultures a little bit. The background of different people, the stories, what they experienced over the past years and how they think. So my advice: get out of your comfort zone and meet different people, others than the once you always communicate, act, work or party with. It is exhausting, different and interesting to meet others but over all it is worth it!
