Throwback: Summer Holidays

Hey there,

while going trough the photos on my laptop I realised I have never posted the photos I took during the summer holidays. I went on a trip through some parts of Italy, Austria and Switzerland and for sure took some lovely snapshots. I really like some of them so I decided to share them with you and spread a bit of summery atmosphere. The weather outside is disgusting at the moment, at least where I live. It's cloudy, rainy and not wintry at all. We're not even going to get a white Christmas which sucks, but on the other hand we have quite the same weather as England at the moment, so it's not going to be that cold when I'm going to fly to London in a few days. But for now, enjoy the pictures of my summer!

What do I desire?

What do you desire?

What makes you itch?

How would you really enjoy spending your life?

What would you like to do if money were no object?

If you would say getting money is the most important thing,

you will spend your life completely wasting your time.

You'll be doing things you don't like doing,

in order to go on living,

that is to go on doing things you don't like doing,

which is stupid.

Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing 

than a long life spent in a miserable way.

It’s so important to consider this question: 

What do I desire?

The text above is part of the Days Of My Youth Trailer by Red Bull and I really liked it, so I decided to type it down for you guys, since it's very inspirational, at least for me. The film material is also quite breath taking, you should watch it. Find the original 'speech' thingy here. Check it out. Really. It's so amazing.

Liveacts

Hiya guys,

I just wanted to show you some live acts, that I haven't seen live yet, but that I definitely want to see live one day. Their performances are insane and so amazing, you should really check them out! :)

I actually wanted to post the live performances of Arctic Monkeys and Two Door Cinema Club from this year's Glastonbury here, but somehow it won't work, just search for them on YouTube!

Shake It Out

And I've been a fool and I've been blind

Regrets collect like old friends

Here to relive your darkest moments

I can see no way, I can see no way

And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh

But I like to keep some things to myself

I like to keep my issues drawn

It's always darkest before the dawn

I can never leave the past behind

I can see no way, I can see no way

I'm always dragging that horse around

All of his questions, such a mournful sound

But tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground

Cause I like to keep my issues drawn

It's always darkest before the dawn

Florence And The Machine - Shake It Out 

Impressive People

Good evening beautiful people,

as I'm lying here in my bed, enjoying a bit of free time I thought it was time for a new blog post. A a bit random one, but who cares.

I've been doing nothing today, but watching videos, reading and reading a article that impressed me a lot, but it's in german and I'm gonna talk about it anyway on here in the next few days. So, other topics... hm. I went to school for four hours today and it was boring as always. I'm listening to my favourite indie playlist at this second, which is on 8tracks, you should check it out:

Indie ▲nthems III from chuygo on 8tracks Radio.

I'm probably going to take a shower soon and then go to bed early, because I have a ten hours day of school tomorrow. I really don't want to go but it's just one and a half week until winter/ Christmas break and only 19 days to go until I'll be in London. I'm so excited for that, but I think I have mentioned it before. But now, something more interesting.

I've just watched the first episode of The Rickshaw Run by JacksGap aka Jack Harries and his brother Finn.  Those two are one of the only few YouTubers that I still can stand and who's videos I still watch. They got pretty famous since I started watching and if I'm correct, they have over 3 Million subscribers now. That might come from those two being pretty fit and entertaining, but I really like them for what they use their fame for. They don't just fly around the world for no apparent reason and go shopping, no, those two do a lot of good things. Jack and Finn do a lot of charity work. For the Rickshaw run they travelled to India with a couple of friends, including Louis Cole aka FunForLouis, who also is one of my favourites. They travelled India in Tuk Tuks to support the Teenage Cancer Trust, which is a really good cause, if you ask me. Go and enjoy those idiots and if you feel like, go and donate a bit of money for this good cause (link is in the video description)!

That's it actually, have a nice week everyone!
