You better worry, I'm coming to Soltau for 2 days tomorrow. I'm going to Heide Park with some friends to try the new rollercoasters and drink German beer and eat schnitzels. Good times ahead. See ya'll on Wednesday! :)

Okay guys and gals, logging out for the upcoming 2 days! Talk to you later! :)

Welcome to BB man! Good to see the Hamburg connection set back up! ;)

They will add even more rides soon. It's build and operated by Zamperla, an Italian company with some Italian connections. I think it's great news that Coney Island is ebing revived now. They are even adding a modern rollercoaster that will have it's riders seated on horse-shaped seats with special restraints, a throwback to the 1920's steeplechase horse rollercoaster. I hope it'll be a success.

How's the new amusement park coming together there?

Done with class now. Week off now, very excited about that, going on a cool trip for 2 days to Germany (again) tomorrow. Oh, and passed 1k posts here. Yay! :)

Moms of Connecticut, hide your sons!

I've been a fan all my life, this is the third season in a row we are in this position. To be honest, this ain't good for my heart, but this is the first team I ever rooted for, Fortuna Sittard is and will always be my first love in sports. Losing the team over the summer... I would be devastated. Fingers crossed we get away again, but I fear our luck is going to run out at some point. Than again, being called after Fortuna a.k.a. Lady Luck... well, who knows?

We are now tied with one team, 1 point ahead of another team. If we win next week (chances are slim, they are playing against the team that will likely become the league champion that day) we are immediately safe. If we play for a draw, we relegate if both other teams win. If one of them plays for a draw too, we survive. If we lose by 1-0 or 2-0, and one of the other teams loses or one of them plays for a draw, we survive too. In all; we have a lot of outs, but relegation is still a very real option. Relegation likely means the end of the franchise, as a major part of the annual budget comes from sponsors and tv rights, linked to pro soccer. If they relegate, they fall to semi-pro, losing so much income, the team will have to fold.

I am slowly dying... my soccer team is playing most important game in their history, probably. So nervous. EDIT: 0-0 final score. Another agonizing and nervous week ahead of me.

Thanks guys, appreciate it. It was good being away from a computer for most of a day or 5. This weekend gave a lot of closure on several levels.

Hi folks! I'm back from a good trip to Germany. :) About hair: I prefer long hair too, short hair can look good, depending how short it really is, but anything above the chin is pretty much too short for my taste.

Just a quick hi and bye from the Black Forest. Everything is great here. :)

From now on, April 20th shall be known as Snooki Day.

I know... it's been an uphill battle for a while, but it's getting a lot better now. Life really does go on, you gotta make the best of it. :)

Well, we have a more serious reason. We are going to spread my fathers ashes there. That was his wish. In a way, I'm looking forward to it, because it's another step to more closure that things are the way they are. However, after the serious part, we are going to do a lot of fun things together, and with our friends.

No, wish I was. Still good though. I'm going to visit friends in the Black Forest in Germany with my mom and sister. :) I'll be in America this summer from mid-July to early September!

Cheers! That's the good life. I have 10 days off now, going on a trip Thursday to Tuesday. :)

Well, the team I've been rooting for all my life did win in a do-or-die game, so that was exciting.
