Hip Hop isn’t just music—it’s a way of living, breathing, and connecting with the world. For me, this connection started in Heidelberg, the birthplace of German Hip Hop, and grew into a lifelong obsession with beats, rhymes, and storytelling. My playlist, “Hip Hop Masterpieces,” is more than a collection of songs—it’s my fucking autobiography in music form. With 988 tracks and counting, it’s not just a playlist—it’s…
Finding a Hero Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't an actor the first time I ever saw him; he was a force of nature. Ten years old, I sat on my friend Alex's couch, watching a grainy VHS tape of Predator. The moment that giant of a man stepped off the helicopter, muscles bulging, and exchanged that famous handshake with Dillon, Carl Weathers, I knew we were meant to…
Ludwigshafen isn’t exactly a tourist hotspot. In fact, it’s known for its industrial skyline, brutalist architecture, and a history of being overshadowed by its neighbor Mannheim. But when you’ve got a day to spare and someone like Helmut van der Buchholz showing you around on his Germany’s Ugliest City Tour, it suddenly becomes fascinating. I took the tour recently, armed with my Fuji and an IRIX…

Vor etwa einem Jahr fuhren wir Richtung Ostbayern, um unser neues Familienmitglied abzuholen: Benji, einen Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Sofort waren wir völlig hin und weg wegen dem Kleinen. Die ersten Wochen waren anstrengend, da er noch nicht stubenrein war und wir ihm dauernd hinterher putzen mussten. Es fiel manchen leichter und anderen weniger sauberzumachen, wenn er mal wieder ins Wohnzimmer gemacht hatte. Aber er lernte wirklich…
On October 30th, 2021, I had the honor of attending the wedding of my cousin Flavio and his now-wife Blanca in Rome, Italy. Family and friends from all over the world came together to celebrate their love and union. My wife, daughter, and siblings also joined in on the joyous occasion. As the wedding ceremony took place, I couldn't help but feel emotional watching my cousin…
In 2019, my daughter Emily and I went on an exciting trip to London, England to visit my brother who was working there at the time. Even though my wife couldn't come with us because of visa issues, we still had an amazing time exploring all the wonderful things London has to offer. We started off by visiting some of the famous museums, like the British…
Geschafft! Jetzt bin ich mit meinem ersten Modul durch. In dem Modul namens "Being an OU student" bekommt man grob beigebracht, wie es an der Open University läuft. Wie an einer echten Uni gibt es Hörsäle, an denen es Unterricht gibt, die via Adobe Connect live in die Welt geschaltet werden, so dass man auch live den Professor fragen stellen kann. Und wenn man den Termin…
Es war einmal ein völlig beknackter 36-jähriger, der ein sechsjähriges Fernstudium an einer britischen Fernuniversität begann. Ich. Ja, irre, ich mache im hohen Alter jetzt einen Bachelor of Arts im Feld Design und Innovation. Wenn es denn alles klappt. Die Open University ist genial, finde ich: Sie hat es sich zum Ziel gemacht, dass dort jeder studieren kann, no matter what. In Deutschland habe ich kaum…
