What a month!

Hello again, after another long break of writing an update I am finally excited to do it more regularly!

We went through some very stressful times at 6th Street but things seem to be more smooth and relaxed as ever. Snoop Dogg would say. "We rollin', dawg, shizzle-di-fizzle!"
My last 2-3 weeks were pretty cool! I saw even more NBA games at the Verizon Center, it was awesome! I went to another Detroit-Wizards game with community friends(we got the tickets for free, hehe) and it was an exciting game, even though the Pistons got the upper hand.. it was still close until like 13 seconds to go.. then I saw the Philadelphia 76ers on MLK day!
I have to say: Martin Luther King Jr. Day is probably the best American holiday that I've experienced so far(and I did it in spectacular fashion), it is a holiday not about eating or selling things.. it is about one of the greatest human beings to ever set a foot on this planet! I loved it, the halftime show and the overall atmosphere in the arena were fantastic! It wasn't about basketball anymore, even though that was one big part of it.
It still brings a smile to my face when I sit there and see people cheering when someone hits a 3-pointer or blocks a shot, because Basketball and sports in general brings people together! I love it!

Speaking of NBA games... I spent a long time thinking about it, but I have to do it. My favorite team are the Oklahoma City Thunder.. not only because of their best player(Top 3 in the league) Kevin Durant but because of the whole team.. I witnessed most of his great performances on screen this season and now I got a ticket for the game in DC.. I have to admit: it was 60 bucks for relatively shitty seats. But damn, it's the Thunder, man! Sorry for the blurry quality but, who cares?

Well, this was a short update about my NBA experiences... there weren't too many mentionable things in the last 3 weeks, I had some relaxing days-away that I spent at home(or being in the Verizon Center) and at the local guitar store. I also cleaned my room on Sunday. And I don't mean "clean", I actually mean "clean". Clean mean. Mean clean. Charlie Sheen, keen. Hakeem the dream. Hehe. Sorry for that!
Yeah, it looks awesome. I did like a half-a-year-I-really-need-to-clean-thing, it took me about 2 and a half hours. Not believing me? I feel ya.. but it happened!

My musical habits haven't really changed, I listen to a lot of DMB but also Tenacious D and some oldschool things like Doors, Led Zep and Phish(not too oldschool, I know). So damn good.
I think I forgot to tell you that I started watching Downton Abbey with my housemates. It is such a great series, trust me! We will actually start with the second season tonight. After the OKC-Spurs game.. I gotta go!

Have a lovely week everybody!
Peace & Love

...and finally a happy new year!

Puh, I actually can't remember the last time that I posted something on here, must have been last year or so.. Well, 2014 is here and I could not have started better! I went to so many basketball games and even had like 5 days off over new year's just doing nothing. I'm telling ya, even though it sometimes can get a little boring if you really have nothing to do at all(but waiting for the damn government to get going with your Visa..) but I used the time to rest, process and of course play my guitar.
A few years ago I think I wasn't really bad, but whenever I played an expensive guitar I could not really tell much difference between expensive and cheap ones. But now I take a ride to my local guitar store about 10 minutes ago and play a lot of guitars from price ranges and I can tell the differences, not only the sound of the guitar itself but also my skill-level. Playing a song on a 4800$ Taylor 914ce is a significant difference to rocking out on a 150$ Yamaha.. Both ways it's fun, though!

A few days ago I found this(hope y'all can see it in Germany) and I almost cried! One of the greatest concerts of all time, I mean, look at the crowd and the venue!

We celebrated a birthday of our housemates on Tuesday and on Thursday we (actually just me and another housemate) celebrated Dave Matthews' Birthday! Amazing!
I hope to give a more detailed updates in the next days, now I let you all have a lovely night in Germany or a lovely evening in America or wherever you are!

Good night!
