I'm getting old...
...I have no other explanation for realizing that technology is passing me by!
And... you have no idea what I'm talking about, right? So let me explain: I'm beyond bored with the layout of my blog. So I thought I should change it. I surfed the net for nice templates but quickly had to face the fact that, following the true nature and purpose of templates, they totally lack uniqueness!
I have a clear vision how I'd like everything to look, I can photoshop the frames and thereby create the images I need, but WHY THE F***ING HELL am I not able to create a page??? Every bloody geek can do that, so why can't I???
Well, I know how tho use a WYSIWYG-editor like frontpage, but since I don't know the requirements for a blog layout, how to index and stuff, that bit of knowledge doesn't help, does it. So what to do now? I'm helpless, clueless and it bugs me that I seem unable to get that apparently simple task done.
AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I might find a way or I might get bored and find another pointless task to distract myself. Because this is what it's all about! Distracting myself from starting to work on my to-do list of things I have to get done before I leave this place... personal claim management, taxes, packing, etc. All important, all pressing, all... utterly boring. So I simply follow my oh-so-beloved compensation pattern of doing pointless stuff to kill time until the last minute, when I can't get around it anymore. I always do that, despite knowing it's wrong and that I'll hate myself for not getting 'round earlier, but in the end it always works out, so why change? ;-)

Hey, I guess, I can help you, Katrin! No, unfortunately I am not talking about this blog-layout-stuff. But I can at least support your attempts to distract yourself by doing useless things: My appartment needs some tidying up, for example... Or how about buying some new plants for my balcony? For you these activities are definitely useless, aren't they? But for me... ;-)
CU latest on Monday, sonja
Well... I'm lazy and have a black thumb. Not exactly the perfect combination to meet your requirements. But saturday night we want to go out to Volksgarten. Maybe you like to join :-) http://www.volksgarten.de
