A lil piece of ideal world

Smiling faces, happy families. That’s what we see in all these commercials. On TV. On the movie screen. Everywhere. It seems to be perfect. No mistakes, everyone is awesome looking, very friendly and nice and everything just works perfectly. You see it and you wanna have it because you know that your life isn’t like that at all.

You have several problems to deal with every single day. You have met people in your life who aren’t these nice to you, treated you very badly or you felt betrayed in some way. So you think if you buy this product mentioned in the ad or commercial everything will be fine and just like that. But you also know that it can’t be possible. But you are a believer and so you give it a try.

Some products might work the way it was praised but some not. That is what might make you angry in some way. You wanna live in this bubble. You wanna have all the beauty of life, left out all the dark sides. That’s why we all love commercials. We don’t say it like that because it frustrates us that our life isn’t that easy, so we don’t admit it, but we watch it anyway. It’s like a dream life, a fairy tale.

I have to say I like watching commercials when they are well made, which means they have to be smart, devastating and creative. It is part of the media so it has to entertain me. There are so many commercials, so I only wanna watch the ones that are actually good. When I was in the UK last year, I saw this Haribo commercial which I think is one of the funny ones.

What do you think about commercials? Do you like them? Do you pay attention on them? Do you think they’re useful? What is your fave?

In sync

Everything we do – we never do it alone. Have you ever asked yourself if you do something that another one does the same at the same time? It might sounds odd, but as there live 7 billion people on our planet, why shouldn’t this be possible? I mean I was never good in maths, and I can’t calculate from that information its probability – if you can, please tell me – but I think, things we do often every day and things we do for not just a minute, like sitting in front of the computer or sleeping, we can be sure, that we are never alone doing the same thing at the same time.

Concerning the internet, I am very sure that not just one sits in front of his or her computer when I am it front of mine. Writing on my book, my play, my blog or just spending my time on Twitter. Oh how would that be boring if no one would be on Twitter the same time I am. Or Skype – what a wonderful invention. I can still be in contact with my cousin who lives with her hubby and son on Crete. I can’t see them very often in real life but I can see them on Skype.
The internet is a great place to spend time with and I don’t wanna miss this. I remember the time, when we didn’t have a computer, when I didn’t have a smartphone. I still remember the time when I was at school, nobody knew social media, nobody knew Facebook because it didn't exist and so nobody missed it. But then it came into our lives and what would we do without it?

Being connected – we all are, but the internet gives us the chance to see it. I think there are so many things we do in sync with others – without knowing. We all belong together. We are all social, we are all human beings, we live at the same time, some might be born at the same time – not twins of course, for them it’s impossible to be born at the exactly same time, and some will leave the world together. I guess knowing that, gives me new hope: I am never on my own.

A small part of something big

After my last two blog entries were so 'big', this time it is 'big' in another way. As you already know I am very fascinated about our origin, the big bang. What happenend back then still keeps me thinking were we come from. That our existence is simply a miracle. I have seen this amazing vid on youtube and I wanna share it with you. It is so well made and explained it all in a very short and uncomplicated way.
