This Christmas I was graced with an awesome new toy. My wife, Regina, bought me an SLR Camera (one of these nice chunky digital cameras). Up to date I think I've taken over a thousand photos. So I've started a Blog where I will be uploading a new photo every week! Let me know what you think.

Well a belated greeting indeed! I hope you are well and enjoying the first days of this new year. I always find the new year as a fresh start. A new year to make things a little better, enjoy life a little bit more, help other that much more, and not repeat last year's stupid mistakes. Well I know most of you visit this space to listen to the music. I've been busy hibernating in the cave of my own imagination and having fun with a new band. Most outrageous thing I did was sing Kid Rock's version of sweet home Alabama last November. For those of you who know me, please laugh. To be honest my last days have been filled with night shifts, photography and internet. Night shifts....I do not recommend. Photography! I have been lucky enough to have received one of these chunky 12 megapixel cameras for Christmas. I love my wife :) Anyhow...I've been running around the city of Konstanz taking photos of anything I found interesting. Needless to say I'm still fine tuning, and therefore none of the photos have been uploaded yet. My photos would not even fit into the modern art section. I'd say I'd rank into the "did you just get a new camera?" section. Having night shifts has given me some time to browse the internet. As a believer I find myself always asking questions about my own beliefs and putting them to the challenge. If you have a couple of hours to burn might I suggest the website www.zeitgeistmovie.com I found the movies extremely provocative personally, although I wouldn't take it in all as fact. Hey if our beliefs are never challenged, then they can never be strengthened. I found both movies quite interesting. In any case I would highly recommend them. I wish you much health and many blessings in this upcoming year. Food for thought....if for no one else for myself.....have you seen the preview for the new Jim Carry Movie, Say Yes? Try applying it this year...do stuff you've never done before...life is a gift, and I do hope you're living it out to the full. I know I am....why do you think my posts have become less and less ;) Peace, Chris

Hi there,

Are you enjoying the summer? I've been chilling out and recovering from long days at work. Sometimes I get the feeling that if there isn't something exciting happening all the time that I could get frustrated. These last few weeks have quite NORMAL. Of course there are the everyday hassles but other then that...nothing. And the truth of the matter is that it is quite pleasant. I long for quiet days and now that they are hear I'm not sure how to enjoy them. Work is great, weekends offer me tranquil moments by the lake, and precious moments with my wife. I guess it's about seeing the extraordinary things in ordinary everyday life. I hope you are doing well in everything you are diong and trying to achieve. If I can give you one piece of advice, take the time everyday, even if it is 5 minutes, to take a deep breath and feel alive. To realise that you're existence matters and makes a difference, and to take the decision to really enjoy the day ahead of you. Wishing you much peace.

Chris

Hi there,

Hope you are well. Athens was a fantastic break for me, and we got to enjoy a wonderful wedding. A wholehearted congratulations to the newly weds!Here are some photos of the city...make sure you put it on your "to visit" list!

 

 

It's been a couple of busy days for me as I just started a new job in Germany, and coping with the language has been quite a challenge. But IT'S VACATION TIME for me :) My wife and I are off to a weekend in Greece for a wedding. It's the first time I'll be attending a Greek wedding.

It will be my first time in Greece. I'll make sure to post photos form the Acropolis. Will I be playing in Athens? I have no clue? Email me :)

Take care,

Chris

Yes...it took me a couple of days to sort things out but I finally got the music video uploaded. You can check it out on www.youtube.com or by scrolling down on my myspace.

Feel free to add it to your webpages, blogs...or simply d/load to watch it over and over again :)

Thanks to everyone who made this video possible....it sure was a lot of fun!

The script has been written, the shots have been taken, the band was awesome, the scenes were fierce, the editing is complete, it has arrived in my inbox.....but why is my computer so slow!

I'm currently uploading the video to my website. It will be out officially in a few days!

It's been some time since my last post. It has been a lng month for me preparing for a German exam which took place yesterday. At least I'm done with exams for now! Tomorrow I'll get my results, fingers crossed.

Last weekend my wife and I visited a beautiful village in Switzerland called Stein am Rhein. Absolutely gorgeous, and we also got the chance to go to a massive chocolate shop. They had a 4kg Toblerone for sale! We also bought a chocolate bar called Baby Ruth. Delicious! For those of you who are not familira with the name, Babe Ruth was a very famous baseball player in America, with one of the highest ever recorded number of home runs. The chocolate was obviously named after him. For those of you in my generation you might remember the name from the classic movie "The Goonies".

I'm flying to Malta on wednesday to film a music video and spend some quality time with family and friends. I'll keep you posted. Take care

Peace!

I uploaded some different songs to myspace. Hope you enjoy!

How have you been?

I..m sorry it took so long to post again! I..ve been locked in my flat studying German. Man oh man, sometimes I remember that it is not so easy to move from one country to another! I will be sitting for a difficult exam at the end of the month, and if all goes well I should start workin soon.

In other news....I..ve been bike riding again....and my wife and I were really lucky to see a pair of Stork..s in the fields. They are truly impressive birds. Nope, no babies hanging from their beaks.

Music has moved awfully slowly although I..m beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel. The music video is nearly ready. I..ll be flying to Malta next month for the final filming and the official video should be realeased by June. Plans for getting a new band organised are underway. If you..re in the area and want to join my band please e-mail me :)

Hope tp hear from you soon!

Chris
