About 12 years ago I figured out that I was stuck in a marital mess and a dead end street.
So I separated and got divorced from my wife.
But before that I tried to detect the things I did wrong in my life - and why I was punished with that woman. So I started to write down almost everything I could recall. Starting with primary school until what was my "today" back then.
I called the story "SCHEISS DRAUF" which could be translated like "NOT GIVING A FUCK".
And it turned out to be incredibly funny and actually quite interesting - at least for me and my friends.
And furthermore I learned that I was quite deeply involved into the Hamburg music scene as most chapters dealt with music in one way or another.
Most of my friends wanted to read the story of course and that was the point when I decided to post the stuff on my first ever blog.
SCHEISS DRAUF (Postcard of Scootland - Scots'n'Mods) German!
And whenever music was mentioned in a post I'd offer the specific songs as a download in the following post.
