Welcome to OldBlueIris´ Blog

OldBlueIris has been on twitter for some time & now the time is ripe for a new blog. I´m living in the Western part of Germany in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area, but I´m on the move to Cologne. Though German, I feel more like a European with a strong bond to the Western parts of this continent & with an empathic view over the Atlantic & all around the globe.

Though born & raised as a Catholic, I´m not a pious person & call myself an agnostic with strong interest in why human beings are so much interested in religion though it doesn´t have brought mankind freedom & happiness so far. Prefer cinema to theater, internet reading to paper reading, but I love old books & the poets. The older I get the more I prefer writing to reading. Got my own thoughts. The internet is my Promised Land. Love silence, islands, red wine, cheese, bread and walking. Like to travel by train & love hiking. I´ve banned cut flowers from my home.

Blogging & writing is the only way to express myself, can´t help it. Hope to share my eclectic musings with you. I haven´t got the slightest idea where this journey will lead me. Feeling like a surveyor in my own terra incognita.

Blogroll & such stuff will come soon.
