Dear Friends, - how shall I say - I am moved at the same time infinite and infinitely surprised at my former blindness. I swear I did not know it until yesterday: I am an international star. And most of my fan base lives in a country I've tried to ignore a large extent, but about which I intend to learn more now: Russia.
This should tell me that I noted in my boundless ignorance of the world yesterday that for the nature of blogs, as I practice it, a field with "statistics" are. I was probably seen before in one eye, but in my disgust shunned for everything as far as possible the number of related entries. Then I suddenly thought that these so-called statistics indeed something wrong with my blog, could have precisely to do with his readers. And lo and behold: a new world opened up to me. Not only that several hundred readers Septentryo in the great period of drought for months as Fraunoelle not published an entry (today she is ashamed for it, really!) Followed faithfully. What my Kosmopolitenherz much more violent to boil said (or was it blood?), The international nature of my readership. Septentryo enjoys is the popularity of Luxembourg, British, Americans, and even in Hong Kong, it seems most diligent students of German or industrious exiles. The Chinese have Septentryo, it seems, to slip through the censorship, because there we will read.
Less pleased me that the favorite post of the last months "Drunken birds with hoods" is far down on top of the stories from Cuba. The fact that in the said text is a howitzer, which is a war machine, let me conclude that there are quite a few of my readers Militaria-fetishists. No idea about what the backlink landed here, but you let it be said you would-be warmongers and Haudrauf: You're wrong here. Septentryo is indeed sometimes vulgar, but thoroughly pacifist blog. If you are willing to donate your weapons collections of Bread for the World, you are welcome otherwise go somewhere else you romps! But now to
indicated already, for me the most moving part of my yesterday's discovery: my unknown Russian friends. For the month of September, the frequency of page views in Russia was right behind in Germany, with six calls. I can not count well now and I have not really checked to see how many Russians, but I could well imagine that these six Russians about a millionth of the Residents this vast country represent. That's something! And spread over a longer period, there were still more, I did not want to specify only pretending. In any event, ranging from the six Russians to Russia on the handsome illustrated statistical Septentryo light green world map to color. Germany is on this map colored dark green (that is, for all the compassionate Schmunzler that it is in our land a few more than six, even more than sixty, yah), except for Russia still make it, China and the United States for the month September into the bright green. Imagine and attack moves to the chest: the former class enemies and current economic rival peacefully in a single fresh Mintton! And in between, in deep moss green, love Germany as a mediator and co-leader! Beating heart not as diplomats later (that reminds me, maybe my foreign readers and even diplomats. Huhuu, cuckoo, you have identified)?
In particular, it urges me but to learn: Who are you, other Russians? German-Russians? I always thought, that can not speak German and still want to live in Germany, because it's better here. Former KGB agents, the East German nostalgia? But I'm Westerner, you will find in me what you're looking for? Or have you learned from the Stasi, that my father's family at that time from the Soviets you had fled from Saxony and in the record before me? Or are you just at the end of the Germanic unspectacular students or, even worse, German students of Slavic studies who want to breathe a little virtual home air? Yes but every now and then goes home to at Septentryo, you did it correctly identified.
love six Russians, whoever you are, I can not your language. Therefore, I am happy and grateful that you might think. I would also like to visit you, yes, but somehow your government is not quite kosher and not your flashy billionaire wives, and I still can only drink a very small puddle of vodka, then shook me already. I am therefore not very suitable for a life with you. But I thank you for your interest in Septentryo, and you are cordially invited to the next reading. The place outdoors in October, should therefore be a pleasant ambience for you, where you can drink up warm with plenty of vodka. I think for you six we had here at a pinch even a sleeping place.
