Finally I moved successfully to Stuttgart and my friend and me are currently adjusting our new home and sorting our chaos.. ;-)
Unfortunately everything appears to be much more difficult than I thought: We have no warm water, the fitted kitchen was removed the day we got the keys to our apartment (we were promised that we can use the present kitchen!) and it took us 3 weeks to get a telefone line with internet access...
Actually it can only get better ;-)

Finfine mi sukcese translokigxis al Stutgarto kaj mia koramiko kaj mi estas meblantaj nian novan hejmon kaj ni ordigas nian kaoson... ;-)
Bedauxrinde cxio aperas pli malfacila ol mi pensis: Ni ne havas varman akvon, la kuirejo formovigxis tiutage, en kiu ni ricevis la sxlosilojn (la ludonanto promesis nin, ke ni povas uzi la kurantan kuirejon!) kaj ni bezonis tri semajnoj ricevi tefefonon kaj interreton...
Efektive gxi povas nur plibonigxi ;-)

Today we made a bicycle tour from Esslingen to Plochingen along the river Neckar, which are about 30 kilometers in both directions.
It was the first tour in this year and my buttocks now hurt like hell... ;-)
But every year its the same: only the first bicycle tour causes pain.
In Plochingen we visited the local "Biergarten" and enjoyed sitting at the Neckar. This weekend is really relaxing for me as I don't have to work anything. I simply enjoy the great weather, the finally arrived spring, the trees, the flowers and so on.

The area around Esslingen/Neckar - isn't is nice!?

Most important to me are a few signs that I don't slip deeper into depression: I participate in the life around me, think more and more positive and I'm able to release the things I can't change.

Yesterday we visited our friend in the hospital. He was under heavy medicals, (e.g. Halperidol) but despite this he was in good condition and was very clear in his head: Maybe as clear as he wasn't the last few months and was even able to joke with us!
It seems that he ran into an acute schizophrenic psychosis, was persecuted by telephone calls, his kitchen and numbers - an interesting mixture...
He can't remember why he was commited into the hospital: According to him, he was calling somebody on the phone when suddenly the police knocked at his door. Of course the doctors are not allowed to tell us what really had happened but in the end it does not matter at all!
We hope that he will be released from the hospital as soon as possible, but I fear he'll have to stay for a few months...

Your Life Path Number is 5

Your purpose in life is to life freely and collect experiences.

You love life - new adventures, new people, new ideas.
You are very curious, and you crave novelty in all forms.
You tend to make friends easily, and you enjoy the company of all types of people.

In love, you are fun and even a bit intoxicating. But you won't stick around for long.

You are impulsive and spontaneous - which sometimes leads you to do things you regret.
Sometimes you can be overindulgent with food, sex, or drugs.
You have many talents, so many that you are often scattered and unfocused.

What Is Your Life Path Number?

Does this analysis apply to me? What do you think?

We wanted to help a friend of mine this weekend, but we were too late: Today we were informed that he was commited to a locked ward yesterday evening. Fuck!! :-((
We had a chance to call him today afternoon, but he was completely confused, was not able to differentiate between past, present and future, didn't remember colleagues from his work, spoke loose and so on. He didn't sleep a few nights, but I hope he didn't take any drugs additionally.
Of course I'm seriously concerned and I wished we could help him....

Actually I wanted to write any good news, funny stories and so on, but apparently it is not possible at the moment. I always try to think positive, so the next LJ entry will be positive - I promise!!

The choice gets less...

Today I received letters of refusal about my applications in Toronto. Of course I was prepared that this could happen, but to be honest I'm a bit disappointed, because I had an extensive and promising telephone interview. It's always hard to get negative answers and damages the self-esteem... :-(
So, I still have two remaining applications in Stuttgart, but it seems I have to postpone my Canada plans for a while.
If I'd fail at this opportunities as well I decided to stop all job plans for a while and try to rest and fight my current depression at first! I'm completely mentally exhausted and urgently need a break!

Yesterday my night was very very short again, because a friend of mine called us at midnight: He is attending a psycho-therapy currently and had a mental break-down after the last session. Of course my sleep was gone after that, but that's what friends are good for, aren't they?! We take him to Munich this weekend and hope to improve his desolate condition (he is not really able to work at the moment) and detract him from his destructive thoughts. Not very easy as I'm not in a good condition as well, but Jürgen and me will try our best to help him!

♥ Antonia and Jürgen have been romantically-together for a long time. That alone demonstrates a degree of compatibility. Similar personality descriptions are a plus. Being from different religious backgrounds may cause friction. They both abstain from drinking, so that helps compatibility. Both are brainy, and that is a good thing. However, their astrological signs are not in harmony. Overall, Antonia and Juergen are quite compatible. There are a few rough spots, but nothing that cannot be overcome. ♥

The next two weeks will be very important for me: There will be the decision, what will be my professional future, where and what I will work and where I will live the next years. Everything is pending...
My way to deal with such situations is writing poems and interestingly enough I usually choose English as language to express my feelings and thoughts.

Clouds

Diving into the clouds,
no fear, no terror, no dread.
Only the flickering lights of a city
keeping down under your sorrows.
Only you in the clouds of god,
following the wind like flies the light.
Not knowing whats awaiting tomorrow
just to be faster than life.
Moments of happiness
are thoughts of your brain,
but stronger than anything real.
Controlling the universe and part of it,
no pain, no time, no death.
Thoughts live an eternal life.
Nothing dies if someone remembers.
Nothing exists if no one remembers.
Heaven is darkening, clouds disappear,
you are sent back to life.
Not to suffer - but to remember
them and their thoughts.
No fear, no terror, no dread.
Wait for the next morning and dive into clouds.

Crying day...

Sun, 02 Apr 2006 20:01:41 GMT

Hey girl, whats on with you?!

Today was a crying day: It started right after waking up at 9am and tears were running down my face like rivers. Second phase was at breakfast where I spoilt my coffee with tears. In the afternoon I nearly caused an accident while driving by car to Stuttgart, because I suddenly had to cry at speed of 140 kmh (87 mph)...

Sure I sometimes have bad days, but the last bad day with such an intensity was long time ago and I actually thought this phases are history. Apparently they are not...

Today it was a mixture of stress, restlessness, exhaustion and of course depression. I must be careful not to let the depressive mood getting the upper hand. I can deal with stress and restlessness, but depression is a very crucial issue and I remember very well how easy it is to slip into it and how difficult getting out again!

But as sonjaaa mentioned at http://sonjaaa.livejournal.com/291074.html at worst the second antidepressivants will help - this makes me hope although I hope I won't need not even the first one ;-)

This is a blueprint of the house, where we have the apartment in the first floor.
Our landlord was so kind to give us a copy of the original plans of the architect from the year 1911. A quite old and very awesome builing, isn't it!?
There are still two connection tunnel in the underground where the occupants of the building could escape or hide during the second world war. Very impressive!

Struts and Cocoon

Sun, 19 Mar 2006 20:27:44 GMT

Have you ever had weekends where you wanted to work and forgot everything whats going on around you?

Today I played with Jakarta Struts and Cocoon, and I even could combine these two technlogies! It was very easy to deploy this on a Tomcat and I even managed to run it in a JBoss environment. Greatest problem was to escape the "jar-hell" or "classpath-hell" but with a little try&error it worked fine! I built a small example with an ActionForm, a database connection and published the results after XSL transformations with the help of Cocoon pipelining - coooooool !!! :-)

What will be next weekend? Maybe Spring and Hibernate?!? ;-)
I must be crazy - it seems there is nothing one can do to help me, I'm lost...

New apartment found!

Sat, 11 Mar 2006 16:02:58 GMT

After three weeks of intense searching, we finally found a new home in Stuttgart. My friend and me are going to live together in a cute old building with an oriel window (see e.g. http://architecture.about.com/library/blgloss-oriel.htm) near the center of Stuttgart. I'm soooooo looking forward to moving into our new home in May - I'm really excited! Although we must renovate some rooms and the complete bathroom we both feel very comfortable and as my friend said: we both need a rather morbid apartment to feel being at home - in a neat and clean environment we both would suffer somehow...

Today I terminated the contract of my apartment in Munich. I have to leave my apartment till 31th of May. Actually I have no idea what will be afterwards: where will I live, what will I work, what will I do?? I won't miss Munich, because my two best friends leave Munich in April as well. One goes to Dublin to work at Google (cool!), the other one returns back into United States. Slowly I realize that I'm a stranger in my own country, I realize what is my nature and what I have to do. It will be a hard way, but I already overcame much more difficult things. The ties of my past have broken - no fear, no fright, no anger.

Hodiaŭ mi finis la kontrakton de mia apartamento en Munkeno. Mi devas lasi mian apartamenton ĝis tridek unua majo. Vere mi havas neniun ideon, kio estos poste: kie mi loĝos, kion mi laboros, kion mi faros?? Mi ne sentos la foreston de Munkeno, ĉar miaj plej bonaj amikinoj lasos Munkenon en aprilo ankaŭ. Unu amikino forlokiĝos al Dublino labori por Google (bonege!), alia amikino reiros al Unsono. Malrapide mi komprenas, ke mi estu fremda en mia propra lando, mi komprenas kiu estas mia naturo kaj kion mi povas fari! Ĝi estos malfacila vojo, sed mi jam venkis multe pli malfacilajn aferojn. La forĝoj de mia estinteco desrompis - ne timo, ne teruro, ne kolero.
