BOOKS
Ever since I was little, writing books has been my dream. I started many but finished few. And those few never saw the (publishing) light of day. I usually gave up after around 40 pages and I can barely look at my old work anymore. I might upload something from my teenage years one day, just to give you an idea. Or not.
Then I tried to get a poem collection published for a while. The idea was to combine my writing with pictures from as many different contributors as possible … but that didn’t really work out either. So no books yet. Sorry.
Song adaptations
Translating songs into a different language (in my case either German or English) is quite a challenge. But it is great fun too! Finding the right words and rhymes to make it sound good while still preserving the meaning and feel of the original song – in a way it’s like a puzzle. I like it.
I’ve been interested in this field of work for several years now, and I’ve managed to create a few good translations (or rather adaptations). Here’s a selection:
If you want me to write an adaptation of your own work or your favorite song, feel free to contact me!
Subtitles
Subtitling is an area that I haven’t really found the time to get into yet. I’ve written the official German subtitles for some of Chris Thompson’s (supricky06) videos on YouTube a couple of years ago. I’ve also written several German subtitles for Shane Dawson’s old clips, but he never put them online. Too bad!
Other than that, there’s nothing much I could mention in this section. I think audio description might be a really fascinating field of work. Would be fun to try that someday.
If you want me to write your subtitles, feel free to contact me.
Poems
Over the last decade or so, I’ve posted countless short poems on Facebook and/or Twitter whenever I felt like writing. Poetry is what got me most of my Facebook fans. It’s more or less become my main creative focus for a couple of years. Here is an extensive collection of my favorite poems. Reading through all of them might take a while.
Is this your support?
Am I too small to see it yet?
Should I still not abort?
And be patient, see what I'll get?
I found an old e-mail
You called me honey
Sent kinky pictures
Legs crossed
A beautiful female
A heart so sunny
A perfect mixture
Long lost
I never liked being the other guy
The second choice, the sensual man
I'm loved by your body, and that is why
I raise my voice, as loud as I can
I don't want to please you and make you whole
And then be left again in this hell
To love you or need you is not my goal
Your touch is theft, I know it too well
I'm tired.
Tired of getting up every day.
Tired of having nothing to say.
Tired of knowing I cannot change.
Tired of feeling lonely and strange.
Tired of waiting so many years.
Tired of wasting so many tears.
Tired of thinking, tired and numb.
I wish I was all happy and dumb.
His face too round, his belly too
A disappointing view
Discouraging at best
Unfuckable
Just huggable
A void inside his chest
He doesn't need a friend
For some there is no happy end
