I’m sorry, I just wanted to show the beauty of my homeland. Unfortunately not my hometown. Because it was almost completely destroyed in the war. But that’s what it would look like. And the industrial culture, which, like our river (the Ruhr), is rusting, but will never lose its importance.
The Ruhr is to us what the Nile to the Egyptian, or Ganges for the Indian. It is the coal-bearing river that is the heart of our culture. That is why we are the Ruhr area. Das Ruhrgebiet! Their beauty is never broken. Like our steel heart. This is the soul of the Ruhr.
Here beats the common heart of many immigrants, locals, and we are all the pot! The RuhrPott! The industrial heart of Europe. Here, hearts still beat in the shadow of coal, steel, iron resistance against all those who think they want to make a fool of European values.
So far and no further. As inhabitants of the Ruhr area, we will never accept the threat from the East. An iron heart still beats here. We will fight back. And no, we don’t wear the same skin color, we don’t have the same religion, we may not even like everyone else. But here’s something no dictator can ever put down. The Prussians could not do that. The French couldn’t do that. And even more so the Russians will not be able to do it. This will be the end. Rusted, but defensive. Our love and hearts belong to Ukraine. Peace! (if possible) If not. We are just waiting for you. ;-)

This is our Ruhrpott national dish! Currywurst! A German fast food dish consisting of steamed, and fried sausage, usually pork ->(Bratwurst) typically cut into bite-sized chunks and seasoned with ready-made ketchup seasoned with curry and other spices. Often served with French fries. That would be together with Mayonaisse the so-called Manta plate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Manta ;-)

We not only processed coal and made steel, but also made classic cars. Our food is like our heart. Easy. Full of spice. And we construct what no one else can and wants. But we are miners through and through. All of us. From child to woman, from child to man. We ARE industry. There is no one on this earth who works so hard, loves his work so much and would go back to earth again and again. Here is the heart of all miners. ;-)
Sorry, a German song. But it is and will always be my home song. Forever. With the Ruhrschlag (The Ruhr Touch) in it. It’s hard to translate. Herbert Grönemeyer - Bochum My home song. Mein Heimatlied! TIEF IM WESTEN!!!!

The song traditionally begins with the first stanza of the Steigerlied. The Steigerlied is the title of a mining foreman or mine manager, used in German-speaking Europe. He bears responsibility for part of the mine and the people subordinated to him. The name is derived from the former role of a Steiger, who continually had to climb into and out of the pit.
Good luck on, good luck on
The Steiger is coming
And he has his bright light in the night
And he has his bright light in the night
Already lit, already lit’
🎵 DEEP IN THE WEST. WHERE THE SUN IS SMOGGED
IT’S BETTER, A LOT BETTER THAN YOU’D THINK
Deep in the west!
[This means our multicultural cohesion and our culture based on coal and steel. We in the Ruhr region are different from other Germans. We are German. Very much. In the heart even more steel than many others. But we love our country. And we will always be defensive. In the sense that we defend ALL who are here. Not skin color. Not religion. It’s all those who live here.]
The fact that we are talking about the RuhrPott and not just the Ruhr area is because the German word Pott means a melting pot. Where Germans, Turks, Poles and all other European nations were literally melted together. We carry this legacy to this day. Proud, but unfortunately also subject to everyday racism. But Putler is what brings us together again.
In memory and love of our Ukrainian brothers and sisters, but this is exactly where the Putin regime would cut its teeth. If nuclear missiles don’t fall here, then I don’t know how we could ever be suppressed. Of course I’m hoping for the Americans here. With a very dubious look. Sorry. 20 years ago I would have liked to say that the USA would protect us. Now I really have my doubts. Looks like we Europeans have to figure it out ourselves.
You’re no beauty
Grey from work
Like yourself without make-up
You’re an honest gig
Unfortunately completey misbuilt
But that’s what you’re about
You’ve got a pulse made of steel
You hear it loudly at night
You’re simply too humble
Your black gold got us up high
You’re the flower of the Ruhrgebiet!
Bochum, that’s where I’m from
Bochum, I belong to you
Oh, dig on, Bochum
You’re not a world city
On your King’s Alleys
No fashion shows take place
It’s here, where the heart still counts
And not big money
Who is it who lives at Düsseldorf
Bochum, that’s where I’m from
Bochum, I belong to you
Oh, dig on, Bochum
You’re Heaven for doves
And you’re always on coke
You’ve got a hut in your garden
With a double pass you check out
Any soccer rival
You and your VFL-(Soccer)Club
Bochum, that’s where I’m from
Bochum, I belong to you
Oh, dig on, Bochum
🎵

Thank you, Sear! Sorry, I had somehow overlooked your answer.
Well, while I was further decluttering my house today, I happened to get my hands on three old photos of mine that I already couldn’t remember.
Me before military service (1998):
1998
Me during military service (2000):
2000
Me after this Scheiß military service. Of course, I’m only referring to my overseas deployment experience (2002):
2002
As the attentive observer may notice, I had gained quite a few kilos in 2000. That had been caused to one of the typical military cuisine of that time and the many grilling of sausages and violent carousing until the morning hours with the comrades in the free moments. Before my return home from a certain country. As you can see in the third photo. I think the photo says a lot about my attitude to life at that time. An attitude that still partially remains with me today. But I am working on it. ;-)
And indeed, before my military service, I was rather shy, reserved (almost introverted), very lanky and, above all, long-haired! That was the phase when I first came into contact with metal, but also with the dark culture/black scene here in Germany. Before that (everything before 1996) I was more of a typical techno kiddie. However, a certain love for techno (and everything related to it) has remained with me until today. ;-D

So the sky, the background and your epic beard tell me…. It’s windy? ;-)
But seriously. You look great. And I like your t-shirt. The headphones & glasses combo gives such a certain kind of sublime experience when it comes to nerd stuff (which we all love). Don’t you want to move to Germany and open a comic book store here? I’d be happy to help you with startup capital, too. You’d have a fanbase here in 10 seconds flat. ;-D
Thanks… I think. I don’t know if I would like to be compared to someone like that. The subject of Varg Vikernes is a little difficult for me. And even if I as a German am basically closer to the Pagan than to the Christian (unlike the rest of half of all Germans), I am still miles away from certain (mostly right-wing) neo-pagan movements. And even if I don’t want to prejudge Varg Vikernes (just like some others from the early phase of Black Metal), my personal views and theirs are miles apart. It has something to do with the fact that while I honor the Wehrmacht (or rather most of it), I strictly reject the SS and everything that is National Socialistic. But that is part for a discussion for another thread. ;-)
But I still appreciate the compliment very much and therefore say: Thank you! To both of you. ;-D

That alone is very honorable. But you should also know the German Sailor Moon intro. Both of these qualify you to live here. A.) we speak almost all English and B.) you surely need a motivated employee in your store to do the work for you, right!? ;-)

At this point, however, I must also honestly quote myself.
everything that is National Socialistic
Here from the following tags are excluded: OC:Aryanne, uniforms, tanks, wehrmacht, luftwaffe, equestria at war mod, weapons, armor I just stand by my military fetish. That’s not a bad thing on this site, right? ;-D

It’s funny I actually was thinking of having a comic book store, but the empty space got bought! Just a few weeks ago! It’s been empty for over a decade! I was thinking of saving up a bunch of money during Christmas overtime, and trying to get the space.

Whenever you need a German employee who fulfills most German prejudices and speaks English halfway (I just don’t have the habit of speaking it), let me know. Otherwise, I wish you great success and will certainly support you as much as I can. And if only that I fly over to you once a year and buy you the shop empty. Well… Apart from the superhero stuff. I’m more for the other side. So you can sell that to others. ;-)
But the fact that you didn’t get the location is a real… meh. :-/
