For the last few months I have been writing for an online publication called Illumination. Here’s my formal introduction to both fellow writers and readers alike. If you have been a member of this parish for a long time, you might remember that I wrote a similar post to celebrate one of my birthdays. Well, the green revolution is here. Recycle and reuse!
Continue reading here.
That was a fun read. You seem quite comfortable with yourself.
ReplyDeleteSadly I couldn't read your introduction - I have used my free articles for the month.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - and yes, recycle and reuse makes sense to me.
Hi Mario - that was great fun and really informative as well as illuminating - appropriate for your new project. Congratulations on a few things - the magazine and your life ahead ... and I hope you'll be able to travel to frontiers new to you soonish. Take care - Hilary
ReplyDeleteA very interesting introduction. Let us know when your book comes out.

What a fascinating look at your life! I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you better. Yes.... do let us know when the book comes out!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed getting to know about you. It was enlightening.
ReplyDeleteHi Mario😊To be a scorpio you tell alot about yourself😚I loved reading about you😊and all the things that makes
ReplyDeleteMario
. also your passion for classical music..and much more..
Looking forward to your book.I will certainly read it
Greetings Anita
Thank you, for your enumeration, CiL. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThe only surprise for me was the single mention of Herr Bach. I expected a piece his work to turn up in your funeral selections. I sort of thought there might be mention of Queen there, as well. My own list changes every few years, but Queen has been among the number for a long/long time.
Nice to learn more about you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your inauguration as a writer, friend.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Indonesia.
"Sorry" to say, but that´s a cute pic of you (real men can be cute, right!)
ReplyDeleteLove #1 & 2. Wise words.
#3 is sure bitter-sweet.
#4 explains my Brother´s behaviour! (he comes back later, though after thinking it through).
#5 I "love" people who say they live vegan.
#6... LOL!!!
#7 Great answer. True, we are no possessions!
#8 I learned on a real Steinweg (not a Steinway) - it was built in my hometown, Seesen. Steinweg went to America and later they named a park in my hometown after him (being sorry cause he became so successful?) - I nearly broke a bone on "his" playground. The piano now rots away in our parent´s abandoned house and my Brother said I can have it. I don´t know if I want it, I can´t play no more and it will likely be very expensive.... But... a real Steinweg!
#9 I just saw ... ewww... someone got really angry having stepped into a large dog-poo. I once lost a shoe due to that. Yes, and some cyclists. Wrong direction, red lights for him, dark clothes , no helmet, bumping into my company car and I had to pay for it...
#10 made me smile :-) I used to hate my nose. But it makes me smile when people still today want to see my ID when I want to buy two bottles of beer (allowed from age 16)...
#11 Make it even more complicated ;-)
#12 clever idea!
#13 Yes. A lot of that here...
#14 Never seen that... but fun idea!
#15 Giving makes us happy, so we receive happiness.
#16 Some still drive menuts. But it´s not worth it!
#17 WOW!
#18 :-) I can´t remember when I last said "nicht wahr"! It´s more "oder" (I have relatives in Switzerland).
#19 Never smelled that!
#20 We need to enjoy the one life we have...
#21 My Mum got "I did it my way". It suited her sadly just a bit.
#22 Meet my FIL, he might help you ;-) Nice answer, though!!!
#23 A post is coming up on that tomorrow at my place - bet you´ll laugh!
#24 Send me a message then, please. Non-fiction reader here.
#25 Huhh, a flatmate drove me nuts with his harmonica! At 11pm when I went to work at 7am...
#26 Have you met Bob?
#27 Here you learn to swim at age 4!
#28 Great!! :-)
#29 Just helped me LOADS today!
#30 Thumbs up, lucky you!
#31 Baaaad - and true
I love Cuban music, I have some here, one even from a local (he was a waiter and never told me his name, it was in Varadero).
You smoked?! I was offered hash-cookies and said, no, boy, am I boring!
I just got not such good things but a strong stomach from my Dad...
Yes, I still have sometimes a hard time to not blow off (but I manage).
I once read a "scientific" book stating animals cannot think. Aren´t we all animals? We all think and use our brains.
I´m with you. What if... "imagine"... there was no religion, would we all be much better together as in "all/everybody"?
Yes. If I believed in luck I´d play lotto, win and travel the world!
No idea if you wanted such a long "answer"... Delete if you like, the Ausiie´d say "no worries" ;-)
Very interesting introduction.. Congrats
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Q and A. I particularly loved your 'voluntary ignorance' response. We seem to have a lot of that going on in the states.

Mario, thank you so much for sharing so freely of yourself. You've given me a lot to think about and a lot to research. And btw, I'm not much of a swimmer either!
ReplyDeleteI loved reading all of it -- your "interview" especially. I've been coming here and reading your stuff for a very long time, but I learned some new things about you!
