Expanding Plans.. tell everybody!

What's up my fellow fans

Recently I got into twitter.. No you might think what the hell is he talking about twitter exists since ages and it's true. But! Ask 10 people in Switzerland on the street and maybe 1 of them has a twitter account. ask the same 10 who has a facebook account and 12 will say yes. So I'm swimming against the river (Swiss saying, I don't know if it means the same everywhere)

In Fact twitter is pretty cool though it is considered to be facebook's evil sister, it's very fast and has a high spectrum to many broadcasting channels.. or in other words.. I'm going to make Urban Survival huge! 

I'm contemplating to be more active and a new concept is coming which is shorter and faster and more visually appealing.

Twitter is a good way to prove it, I can tweet (yeah sounds gay I know) from every where I am, telling funny stuff that is happening right now, make my posts come more frequently and on my blog I'll get into detail and make you laugh.. like now... see! =)

(and for those who are not laughing right now.. go and jump from a bridge you jerks.. )

So if you have a twitter account, follow me, look for: urbnsrvival

If you don't have an account yet, go and get one and see how interesting it could be.. unlike facebook that bitch. And tell everybody that might be interested ;-)

Cheers

Nailed my 5000th

Let’s celebrate!

Guys today is a special day, not only because it was my birthday (yes it was and I removed my birthdate from facebook on purpose) but also because I nailed my 5000^th. Now you might think that it is absolutely impossible to nail 5000 girls but guys I’m not speaking about coitus (it’s such a funny word… coitus) and even though it would be possible… I guess.

I’m talking about people that read my blog!

I just checked my statistics and discovered that over 5000 people (with different IP addresses for the know-it-all of you) read my blog. This is my breakthrough and it shows me that you didn’t stop reading since I got back from Australia.

This means a lot to me, to know that you guys waste your time on my blog. So I will continue posting and informing you about my weird and funny stuff (there is a lot at the moment)

And because I’m in such a good mood I’ll show you which posts are the most popular ones of all time:

5th rank -> Mojo Surf (The story about the perfect surf camp and how everybody sees Australia)

4th rank -> To whom it may concern (The answer to all the haters)

3rd rank -> Wilson's Revenge (This is probably so popular because it’s funny to watch how angry bird Wilson attacked me)

2nd rank -> Pre Start (my thoughts and preparation for leaving)

1st rank -> Leaving Switzerland (The endless story about my trip and how it seemed to fail before I even started)

And the recent most read post is of course Asian Stereotyp (surely because of the weird pictures), which was more popular than I thought.

Guys thanks a lot for your loyalty (tears are coming up) you’re the best!

Cheers

Asian Stereotyp

Next week I'm going to start studies with my classmates of which many come from Asia as it is an international subject of studies. I have one whole week of introduction and I received a schedule for it. Monday is for everybody same, just explanation of school and facilities then the other four days are split into a "culture and integration" course and the other half is defined as a German course for beginners. I hope I won’t need to attend either of both. Surely the lecturers will convince us Swiss students during that introduction week to spend some time with our classmates from abroad as they have no friends here yet and nobody who could show them around and as I am such an open person I'll help them to get everything to know here.

If you are following my blog since the days I went to Australia you know how much fun I can have analysing Asians. How couldn’t you have fun with them, they’re so funny and so sweet, they laugh at everything you say even if it’s not funny just to no offend you and the most important reason: They are addicted to Karaoke!

Thinking about Asians last days, it came to my mind how much they like to take pictures with cameras that are 3 generations further than ours (Hope they won’t laugh at mine). I watched some of my pictures with my Asian mates in Surfers Paradise and noticed that they have always the same pose. I’m sure you know what pose it is.. right they show in every single picture that “Victory”-, “Peace”-, ”V”- or “whatever you call it”-sign.

 

Here are some examples of that pose:

Classic

Multitasking

Big sign goes small

a normal day at school... whatever that guy in the background is doing..

May I introduce you to the Asian Justin Bieber

Advanced skills in Multitasking

OMG that is sooo cool! still laughing my ass out =)

I will definitely have fun with 'em! =)

Cheers

How to surf when there is no sea

What up fellas?

Those of you who I call friends know that I'm workin now at an IT-firm the others of you (let's call you groupies) have no idea because I haven't write it yet.

After I succeeded school with a top mark I started to work here and the wanted to keep me during my studies which will start in about 3 weeks - Yes I'm going to study International Management. Anyhow I've been working here for almost 2 months now and it's a good place to work though I don't like working.

What? How comes that I work at an IT-firm though I have no technical experiences? I have no idea! No it's not a try to boast around I think I just convinced my boss at the job interview.

What I am doing here? Please.

Now I thought instead of reading instruction in the internet how to build bombs, I thought let's fresh up my English a little to get back into it before studies. And because I only write nonsense in my blog, I will tell you something about my new summer passion: Wakeboarding.

As you know I did a little surfing, when I was in Australia, I was not that good because I didn't practise often. 2 weeks ago it started to be veery hot in Switzerland so I thought let's catch up something you can do in the water and as I already went once wakeboarding I decided to go again. On my way to that lake on which they had this water-ski-lift I decided to go to Murten which is a city at another lake, because there I knew a wakeboard shop. I don't know why I had chosen to go there (it was like a deep power in my unconsciousness) but I thought "hey it's on our way, why not". So we went to that shop which is called "dirtys" - No it's not a stripclub. I watched the boards and I talked with the shop owner and told him that I was looking for a board, so he showed me his new collection, but the problem was that they were quite expensive. I asked him if it's possible to try one out as I was anyway on my way to go wakeboarding and surprisingly he said "sure". So he gave me that new beautiful 'Ronix Phoenix Project 2012' it has only once been tested by him. Proudly I went to that other lake and felt like a pro. As I wanted to start I fell immediately - so embarrassing! I did another try and I fell again and a third time. Finally I stood at the 4th trial and I got back into it very quickly. I had told the shop owner that I would bring it the other day (sunday) but I thought "hey let's go again before I give it back, I won't have this possibility again. So I went to that lake the second day too and I was much better. I also tried to switch sides and stuff but I always fell when I tried to do more than surfing forward. So I gave it back to him and I was just about to buy it but he wanted too much for it.

The other week I went to Germany to wakeboard and there was that shop with that huge collection of gear and equipment and they had that summer sale which means we got everything with discount. I tested another board but I realized very soon, that the one from last week was better and they had 2 of them too (both in my size). I have chosen the white one and my friend (a wakeboard Pro too) took the same one in green. We took some bindings, a vest and a helmet too and then we were broke. We spent that whole day at the lake and the next day we spent at the lake in Switzerland and everybody watched us, because we looked like professionals. We even became better and better, I don't know if it was the equipment or not. Yesterday I took the afternoon off to go to the lake and I did my first jumps off the ramp and in + out of 3 trials I stood! I tried a Jumpstart from a height of 250 cm and at the second time I stood. I did a big step yesterday and soon I would like to go to a competition - Yeah of course..

I would highly recommend everybody to try it out. Even my girlfriend tried although it was very funny to watch, she had fun!

And if you want to see some pictures which were shot with my new camera (OMG I haven't told you yet!) just visit my facebook profile.

No name comes to my mind for this post but it's as awesome as the others, I swear!

"Good afternoon ladies and gentleman, I'd like to welcome you aboard of the flight FX903 from Zürich nonstop to Barcelona my name is RDee, I'm your captain for this flight (...)"


It's been a while since I've said those words and honestly I'm missing it a little. Whaaat? You did not know that I used to be a pilot? I did but I never bragged with it. 
reveling in memories I was thinking about the best aspects of this job and it's definitely, when the flight attendant comes into the cockpit and brings you coffee. I don't know why, but they always stare at you like you were the only men on earth or so when bringing a cup. Surprisingly I have never met a pilot who didn't like it. I think it's a job requirement to not being into somebody but a pilot.


It's a phenomenon anyway that so many girls would like to become a flight attendant (by the way does anybody of you know why we can't say stewardess anymore? I loved that word.. stewardess, stewardess.. hmm).
Out of my female friends there are 5 wanting to become, are becoming or were flight attendant and 771 (as many as I've got on Facebook) who have considered it, yes including boys..
But did you guys know, that they are way underpaid? I mean they receive nothing for what they do and that's why no girl stays in this job. This is exactly what the big companies are wanting. They want only to employ young attractive women as long as they stay young and attractive, then they stay only for a short time until find out, that they have been deceived and then they resign. Surprisingly there is another girl already waiting. A friend of mine told me ones how many girls attended the information evening.. hundreds!
They attract you with seeing the whole world and the most interesting cities, staying at the best hotels and learn languages so quickly. 


Okay I confess, I used to be a flight attendant and not a pilot and it was me who looked at him like there is no other for me on the ground (or here in air).

about Gremlins and toothbrushs

'sup fellas!

First of all, do not judge me for not having written for ages - I feel guilty too.

It's pretty clear why I haven't written.. the world just became boring.

However now I have a topic to talk about and I'm sure you will recognize your self while reading it.

It's about when somebody is in a relationship. Yeah I know it's always the same but always different. I don't think that you could just say: "We're NOW in a relationship" and from then on everything changes and after months you notice that actually nothing has changed (I'm pretty sure that sounds weird to you). Let me say it this way, I hate it when a couple has anniversary, because I don't think that you can define a relationship from a date on. It's a period or even a process until you get to the target (which is in most cases today to change the relationship status on facebook).

A Friend of mine, let's call him Barney Stinson, told me once the rules for having a girlfriend.

He said: "Ardi, (believe it or not) you know you're in a relationship, when you violated 3 simple rules and those rules are the same as for Gremlins:

1. Never feed them after midnight

(Which means, never eat breakfast with her)

2. Never let them see sunlight

(Which means, never let them sleep at your place)

3. Never let them get wet

(Which means, never let them take a shower at your place)

It's very superficial, but think about it. That makes totally sense!

Knowing that I broke all those rules last weeks, I still don't think that I'm in a relationship (most psychologists would call it relationship anxiety and honestly so do I), so I created a new indicator the "Toothbrush variable" (Doesn't it sound like a new episode of "the big bang theory"?! and actually I proposed them by email to use it).


It's very simple: If you have a static toothbrush in her bathroom or she has in yours, it's obvious that you're together. If you break that rule as well it's clear but if you still say that you're still not in a relationship then it just needs some more time or that girl forced you to do all that stuff. I wanted to relate that in some way to Gremlins too, but I've never seen them brushing their teeth - though they have really white ones.


So if you ever worry again if you have a girlfriend or not, just go over those rules and if yes  share it with all your friends on twitter and think about kitschy names you could give your girlfriend and become a sissy (that's my new fav word).


Oh and by the way, Happy New Year!


Cheers

4 all my Clerks

Yesterday I found out, that there are a lot of people which are so hell bored, that they used to read my blog during office times. I thinks it's really a pity but on the other hand it's a great feeling to know, that clerks are payed to read my blog.


So this post is for all those who are to lazy to work or as they would call it "work a lot, but there is not enough work". 


Allright I explain you guys now the situation. Probably most of you would like to know, how the hell I broke my nose. Well it's a pretty long story.. Oh yeah, I forgot that you guys have enough time..


about a month ago, I was on a roller coaster not just  any one, it was a huge one.
That day I didn't feel very good because of muscle ache i had from the day before by weight lifting. So I went on the "extreme-cobra-killer-ultimate-machine-shaker-8000" (yeah, that was surely it's name), I didn't feel pretty comfortable 'cause I had one of those bad feelings like in final destination, except that I didn't stop anybody by entering the coaster.


On the coaster it shook me from one side on the other and suddenly the coaster started to lift off the rails and I knew I have to do something before we fall 289 meters (!) to the ground. All the people on the coaster screamed so loud, that I couldn't think or react, it was a noise like in one of those horror movies where the blond, dolly girl runs away from the killer knowing that she has no chance to escape. I saw that the people on the ground looked shocked and feared maybe from their point of view it looked much worse, actually from our point it didn't look better. Then I ripped my security belt off the seat, cling on the side that was lifting and started to hope that my weight was enough to get the coaster back to the rails.. it wasn't. So as the coaster was just about to turn, I took the rail in the same time and started to pull the coaster down. Now it's really necessary to repeat, that I really had a bad muscle ache. Anyway it seemed to work and the coaster got back to the rails, it was a little miracle. I don't know where this strength came from, maybe it was inside me, waiting to be unleashed. 


After another 4 rounds on the coaster (we already paid for it), we got back on the ground. It was a great experience seeing all those families hugging and coming together, others who were calling the boy- or girlfriend telling with tears what happened, policemen and paramedics running around and helping people to overcome the shock and last but not least the drunk guys who couldn't stop to vomit, after this hell of a ride.
Then I saw a firefighter looking at me and starting to clap, more and more people clapped until , as I thought, the whole adventure park was clapping. People came and shook my hand, knowing that I just saved the life of their families, girls came and kissed my cheek (I didn't blush, because it was self-evident, what I did) surprisingly even the mayor was there with a horde of photographers and journalists, congratulating me. 


And then this firefighter came over in slow motion, in the background I heard this epic sound and I just watched this guy and he winked at me. Then he rose his hand and said "Hi5", I wanted to raise mine as well, but I couldn't. After that maltreatment of my body, my muscle didn't listen to me anymore and because this firefighter was still walking in slow motion, he couldn't react fast enough, so he Hi5ed me in the middle of my face and that's the story how I broke my nose.


expect of the last part it was one of my best days ever.


This post was dedicated to Denise, my greatest fan of all my clerks out there. have fun ;)


Cheers
