Turkey 2004. Good old times… Now I would do it even better. :-)
if you dont like my fire, then don’t come around, cause i’m gonna burn one down
2007-08-07 – 15:04The work stress is changing into a travel stress… and I kind of like it. Not ready for my travel at all. Haven’t looked into the guidebook yet. I hope I will have enough time for that on a plane. The idea of the travel is to visit the Northern part of India – the desert of Rajastan, Himalayas and the holy city of Varanasi. Let’s see how it works out.
I’ve had many shinny days recently. Full of laud and honest laughter. Hanging around having fun and getting to know each other. Putting aside this-will-not-work thoughts and just giving it a chance. Fair enough.
Crazy headhunters stroke me with double power. I have no idea why, but I am getting like 3-5 emails per day with “once-in-a-lifetime opportunities”. Crazy motherfuckers want even to arrange phone interviews when I am in India. Damn, I hate this pushy approach. But I am taking it easy and just checking the options. I kinda like my job so no quick moves – just looking around.
I’ve been here before and I deserve a little more

2007-07-23 – 14:24GOING TO INDIA on 10.08 – 04.09! Not planned at all. Decided today, urlaub taken, tickets bought! I love it!
Andrzej and Asia got married this weekend. Nice feeling to participate in that (and be the best man) after so many years of history together. Remembering the old times – long hair, hardcore parties at Orbital, going to concerts together, drinking one bottle of wine each straight from a backpack (to hide from the police), so many nights I slept over at their place watching movies, drinking beer, hundreds of games of pool played in Ygrek while having some hours off during the classes… And now – adult lives, working, having wives, driving cars, changing flats… Anyway, I really had so much fun on their wedding and the party afterwards. I am too modest to say that I was the king of the dance floor, but for sure Justyna (my dancing partner) was the queen! And she left me with an aching knee. Totally worth it! ;-)
Visited Tina in Fürth. And this feeling for having a person cut out of a photo and put together with a different background which doesn’t fit to an image kept in ones head.
Now – off the projects, taking a deep breath in Gdynia. Summertime. :-)
on Polish-German relationships
2007-07-18 – 11:45It’s been a year now I’ve been working for a German company. I’ve spent quite some time in the lovely country of beer, schnitzel and pommes frites. For the anniversary I wanted to write a serious note on Polish-German relationships, stereotypes and so on. But I won’t. I will tell you a bullshit story instead.
Last week I was out with 2 other Polish guys to a pub in Heildelberg. Sitting, drinking beer, speaking not too loud (not to scare anybody with our Slavic language). Then a group of drunk young German guys came. 15 of them. And of course they started talking to us. I was expecting troubles. So when the question “where are you from?” finally came up I thought “oho… it’s coming”. “Poland.” “Whaaaat?” “We are from Poland.” “Aaaaaa, Polen…. VODKA!” Yeah – so, finally. The best words we could hear from the young Germans. No “Polish people still cars” as we heard so many times before, but “vodka”. So we ended up drinking Polish vodka with them, buying each other a round and sharing these magnificent moments. Nice.
What does it mean to me? The new generation of Germans again starts to value and respect Polish people for the good stuff and our uncommon abilities (vodka!). Hopefully I soon will no longer have to deal with assholes calling Polish people thieves so I would not have to give them a quick history lesson about WW2, 50 years of communism and poverty. And our not-always-good relationships will become a song of the past. And the day will come when we would really forget the memories and just sit together and drink. And make a toast. Für Grünewald!
This week I am again working in the German HQ. Staying in a village close to Speyer and driving a tiny car that makes me smile. :D Sleeping a lot! Today driving to Nürnberg to meet up with Tina (German girl met in Mexico, too nice to be German ;-) ). Feels a little bit like vacation.
changes are good
2007-07-15 – 22:08Switched the blog application from blogger.com (which was sucking) to wordpress.org (which looks better). Please update your bookmarks and RSS feeds. I will work on it more some time in the future to make it look nicer and have more pages. Just be patient.
Quick update: Spent last weekend in Denmark – went to Roskilde with Ania and Tomek (was officially introduced as her boyfriend’s boyfriend). Lots of mud, some beer, 110.000 people, 220.000 rubber boots. Some nice bands, some old and not-so-cool-anymore bands (RHCP). Photos from this event pending to be processed and uploaded.
Then took a Monday off and was visiting Copenhagen with Ania (Misiu went back to work and earn money for his high-life living). Easy day.
Then a week in Germany staying in Heidelberg, working in a factory, pretending to be an expert.
Then weekend in Gdynia – beer with Heldt and Lesiu.
And tomorrow back to Germany for a week.
Not much.
Have some stories – hope I will have some time to write them down.
Finished reading Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho. I was really impressed. Not another sweet pseudo-spiritual book. More to the real life than any of his books.
