the day, "said Fritz, has already succeeded
has sprung from a line in my brain
Where did he come, I can not say for sure
not from the stomach
He was in the brain long on the Lauer
limited by the narrowness of Wall
he lacked the strength to jump
after all, is my brain not young
Blessed be the hour but
today because he sprang from my mouth
Hups, he was out, loud and clear
and ... ..
rhymed even

It is hopeless!? ?
When I was 71 years old, I leave a note in a newspaper about the statistical age of German women and men and I learned that the average age of today's German man in 76 years content. I was still very optimistic and told myself that you'll make in any case. So I did, mind you, something I hoped. So far so good. I did it. I'm 76 and even beyond that now become 80th I wonder today how I did it. But I did it.
Now it is also a fact that I have since surviving a statistically dead. This is an unpleasant statement and I was wondering what should I hope for?
the time I made a mistake? I set my hope and my expectation is too low? Had it not been wise my expectations and hopes set on 120?
Well, now you can not change I can only hope that the notes a statistician?
When I woke up this morning, I'm me, and I every morning now do, first of all congratulations to the fact that I'm still alive. That is always a big surprise for me because you never know what can happen over night all so. Next is then equal to the disillusionment, I realize, it's all hopeless ..... Well, at least I'm still in the game?
What should I hope for now? At the breakfast, which will now inevitably take place? Now this brings no great surprise. I of course once again in vain hope that the postman finally brings the news that I won the lottery a few million forget the can. Then I wait now for some years. Even the lot of TV lottery has been brought yet. It is hopeless.
The weather also brings nothing new, sometimes the sun shines, sometimes it's stormy, sometimes it rains, sometimes it snows, it's always the same, it is hopeless.
But I still inherent survival instinct and my full bladder to force myself to get up. I'm in the direction of Bath. I'm in such moments, always make sure my wife will follow me. It is generally of slightly diminished determination and takes it down forever grateful that they can take my standing up for the occasion of its rising. Well, now follows the usual routine, put a little water here since a little water, and then off towards the dining table, on which I are always more recently my laptop had to while my wife leafs through the newspaper, get me the latest news on the Internet. This is primarily the protection, I do have confirmation that the earth still turns and I'm really still in the process.
But they also know it is hopeless, every day, the statistically overdue murders, earthquakes, tornadoes, terrorists, train crashes, plane crash, and the eternal politician "Bla, Bla,
Then come with me, but on hope. The quiet hope that my one of my friends to whom I sent an e-mail, has responded. This is a moment that I ever consciously hinauszögere something because I have retained in the depths of a small glimmer of hope, although I know that since there is this modern means of communication, the response has deteriorated significantly.
so I read only to me to get the voltage, the eternally boring political statements and decisions and so-clever comments of the opposition and the President's solutions.
It's always the same, it is hopeless.
If I have reached my morning low point and was on the verge of a depression, then, then I try a heroic approach of hope my received e-mails to open.
shit, it's hopeless, again, nobody answered. Everything just Advertising. What are they thinking while taking an old man of 80 years, all hope.
I look up and my wife sees in my eyes now, what's going on: "Again, no answer"
"No, but I hope that you sleep well?"
"Yes I have!"
"I'm happy"
They usually say, "Do not worry, there you will still have the hope of tomorrow."
It is hopeless, she remains an optimist.
