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.
The alarm rings in your ear
Slept enough, get out of here
There's no sunlight, you feel weak
Everything is pale and bleak
So get dressed and don't look back
You're a messy, useless wreck
You're a disappointing bloke
Your existence is a joke
Go to work now, do it fast
Go, get something right at last
Do your thing, then stay up late
While your empty bed sheets wait
He won't be coming back
He won't regret he's gone
At least not to your face
You might as well move on
And now there's all this space
You don't know what to do
With all the bad you lack
And least of all with you
Waking up next to one
Going down on another
Most ambitions are gone
Why not chase a new lover?
One tastes lovely and sweet
While the next's kind of bitter
So you're kissing her feet
Condoms turn into litter
No full schedule can fill
What you're painfully missing
It's your only known skill
So you just keep on kissing
There's no such thing as nice girls
At least I haven't met them
They all were, if you let them,
The rather naughty kind
If someone never tries, girls
Move on and don't regret them
It's better to upset them
Than always stay behind
Tired from all the sex
Inhaling your scent
While holding your hand
And kissing your pretty legs
Not thinking of my ex
Because I feel good
It's all thanks to you
If only you knew
