starting tomorrow I will be in Sharm (Egypt) for the next 7 days. Spending my time with rebreather diving, and relaxing on the boat. Departure tonight around 3:00, first travelling by car to Hannover, then a 5 hour flight to Sharm, arriving around 12:00 local time. Its going to be a long day, but then its free time so I will enjoy it.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson is one of America’s greatest philosophers. In his essay, Self Reliance, Emerson stressed the importance of individualism and the importance of living by your conscious. A man should not conform or live a life of false consistency.They should march to the beat of their own drummer.
It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude after own own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

Mastering Rebreathers
God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.
The “Positivity Blog” recently had a rather compelling overview of Bruce Lee, Productivity Guru.
And from the same site this lame article: gandhis-top-10-fundamentals-for-changing-the-world, but then I would fight Gandhi….

by end of Mai I will be in Sharm to do some rebreather diving with Tekstreme. Hopefully I can get some dives with the new Pelagin. Which is a modern and small CCR rebreather device. I also got new fins (Forcefin) which I only tested in the swimming pool, so this is going to be an interesting trip. And I am looking forward to it!
- Paul Trynka Iggy Pop’s life has been one of extraordinary highs and terrifying lows. Infamous for his wild ways, he is also a towering figure of the rock scene – hugely influential, charismatic and provocative. Every ‘mad, bad, dangerous to know’ rock star owes a debt to him, and the stories of his shocking behaviour are legendary. But Iggy Pop is also, to a large extent, a construct, the alter ego of the quietly spoken and intriguing Jim Osterberg: the kid voted ‘Most Likely to Succeed’ by his classmates. So what turned this charming, well-mannered, straight-A student into a poster child for rock ‘n’ roll debauchery? Iggy Pop: Open up and Bleed reveals the truth behind the myths. Former MOJO editor Paul Trynka tracked down the star’s friends, family, lovers and fellow musicians, conducting over two hundred and fifty interviews, unearthing countless new stories about Iggy’s rollercoaster life, his music and his often misunderstood friendship with David Bowie. From this impeccable research he creates a fascinating portrait of a man at war with the world and with himself. The book also features dozens of never-before seen photos.
