Without three things you would be lost? God, my wife and my stubbornness.
If you could be famous for one thing, what would it be? I’d honestly rather not be famous. I want my art to be more recognized than me. I prefer to be observing the universe without being observed.
If you only could listen to one song for the next month, what song would that be? “O Fortuna” by Carl Orff.
Why started you blogging in the first place? The necessity of artistic expression.
If you could have your own tv channel, what would it be about? Science fiction and fantasy programming.
What is your favorite season, and why? Summer because it’s really hot.
Do you like flowers better or trees? Trees.
If you could own a famous painting (or any other art object), which one would that be?“Manera de Volar” by Francisco de Goya.
There is only one person like yourself. Name something about you that makes you unique! That’s it!
Do you plan out things usually or do you do them more spontaneous? Usually the former, occasionally the latter.
Would you rather be a movie actor or a (rock) star on the stage? Actor.

Oh wow, thanks for posting my picture of the Old Love! Rodenkirchen is by the way a district of Cologne 😉 Since 1975, but many still say ‘today we’re going to Cologne/ in the city’ – to the confusion of those who moved here afterwards. The irritated reply is always: ‘but we are in Cologne’ 😀 Even I say it from time to time, even though I was born here. But that’s maybe because I heard it so many times before…
Have a great day, Frizztext!
