Last update on 08/18/2010
This blogspot site will be my temporary home until I get some time to make a really beautiful site on the net as my namesakes Michael Schmiedel the photographer, Michael Schmiedel the assistant director, Michael Schmiedel the forester , Michael Schmiedel the football fan, the bicyclists Michael Schmiedel Michael Schmiedel and the student with whom I neither used nor by marriage, nor even known, am part already have. To avoid confusion with these names cousins, I always use the second of my first name Alois A. (Westphalian Debate: Alwis).
has now such a personal homepage so something very self-centered in itself. Sure, I make it a little advertising for me, and then some of them but be amazed at what they read there, others rejected it. It could also be that some potential employers are among the second group. Well, where I'd like to not work anyway. On the other hand, I would be happy at all to have an income at least after the promotion, so as before. Whatever
reportedly So now who I am, what I can do what I have done so, because that personal websites are for. And if you after you become knowledgeable about it to know a way how can I make my own ways to earn a living, let me know.
In short: Good-natured thinker looks for job!
who support my work and also what he wants from her visit but the lectures and courses that I give in community colleges and other educational institutions. Here is a summary http://schmiedelvortraege.blogspot.com/

Private
I separate work and private life does not separate, but here it is, of even more private than before, although I will refrain from intimacy though.
family genealogy I have not been used. All I know is that my paternal ancestors from the Saale-Unstrut area or from the Querfurt-Merseburg plate and maternal come from the Middle Rhine Valley and the Münsterland . There are also each have some relatives that I sometimes know and love but partially not. Ulrich Schmidl is unfortunately not one of my ancestors, because genetically speaking, my father, the first in the family was Schmiedel.
My parents Rudy and Maria do not live anymore. They gave my siblings and me a safe home in childhood and youth, the right mix of roots and wings. I am very grateful.
My three sisters Monika and Norbert Rolf, all older than me. They contributed to the above-mentioned security that I experienced as a nestling, in essence. Also I am very grateful. And their spouses Volker, Monica Ruth and I are also fond of like siblings.
instead of smaller siblings I have four nephews Dirk, Björn, and Stefan Dennis. Which are now very independent in different occupations, and Dirk took care with his wife Patricia for the next generation in the form of their daughters, Sarah and Melissa Ann-Kathrin, the latter my evangelical godson, although I'm not even evangelical.
uncles, aunts and cousins I mention not now, although I mostly am a great believer.
Since 1998 I am married to Petra, my home on two legs. In 2004, we sealed our marriage again with a religious ceremony. We have no children.
Petra brought me two parents, Inge and Kurt, in my life. They are We deal with advice and support in our attempt to life.
friends I had of course, especially Lothar I since 5 School year know, and Andrew, whom I met in my forestry studies. The two are fast friends, even without that we would have already done every day together. Besides many dear fellow students from the Universities of Bonn, all of which would be too long to enumerate here, I would like to mention Ferdi, Germany's ambassador to the No. 1 men's rock movement, the practical me on this blog spots here made carefully.
Ferdi died suddenly on 11.9.2008. Read / Read to ask my obituary below.
Geographical home
I'm Rhinelander, an inhabitant of the country at Rhine , that river, the so-between the west and center of our " Europe " said Peninsula of Eurasian continent of the Alps Coming to making its way through the highlands and then flows to a few kilometers across the open country in a Delta in the North Sea .
My immediate home area is the Middle Rhine and Rhenish Slate Mountains . Really right in the middle where the two intersect landscapes where Taunus, Westerwald dance , Eifel and Hunsrück in a ring around the mouths of Lahn and Mosel , I was born in Koblenz and grew up in Lahnstein .
live in the moment I Bonn, Siegburg and Obererbach . Until recently, even Bad Kreuznach it.
religion
This is a little complicated, because I can not just say that "I am a Christian" or "I am a Buddhist" or something. Actually I am a typical example of (post) modern patchwork of religiosity, a bit of everything. Well, then again, not of everything.
from the feeling I am a theist, agnostic, or more precisely from her mind, constructivist, by her Buddhist meditation practice and the ethics of her humanist. As an infant I
was a member of the Roman Catholic Church and still am, and since 1994 the German Buddhist Union .
Na, confused? Who wants to unravel, just ask me.
philosophy
The friendship of wisdom, one does not necessarily foster academic, but it's about thinking through the right mix of, meditate, talk, read, listen, write, observe silence, and also act to develop the wisdom that enables one to lead a good, meaningful life. I have written to that effect so much of what I now have on hand but not digital.
values
think very highly I each other respect, even if the other is really different, or at least tolerance, except towards intolerance, solidarity with each other (so that they last much better than with the competitive spirit that in our society currently driving their neo-liberal mischief), responsibility for our social and natural world around, search for knowledge and wisdom, Equanimity and serenity, with all the necessary ambition, honesty and sincerity, modesty, but also a healthy sense of self, in short, wisdom and compassion and love and knowledge.
I do not like is all that is contrary to these values, competition, ie, selfishness, egocentricity, racism, intolerance, disrespect, self-satisfied remaining in ignorance, dishonesty, treachery, aggression, recklessness, cold-heartedness, self-righteousness, greed and lust for power, but and conformism, in short: greed, hatred and delusion.
See also my essay, "Socially Responsible obstinacy" later on this blog spot.
Other interests and activities:
- Men rock movement
Men also are not forced to wear only shorts. Skirts are often much more pleasant because airy, and often better than shorts.
to the topic I have some digital texts at hand:
neighbors (of 1999)
How come existence actually tastes? (Also 1999)
, what will people think? (Also 1999)
Mundus bracatus? No thanks! (also 1999)
Who rocks so late through night and wind? (Possibly by 2000 or 2001)
stubbornness instead of stereotyping (2004)

(If that does not work http:// www.wikipedia.de/ Open Rock and men enter a search term.)
Review (also 2004)
Some texts are no longer in power. I can send them on request but you.
- Music
Above all, I love folk and world music. This much can be read by me under
http://www.bonn.folk.welt.musik.de.vu/ top and some CD reviews listed in Folker! are published.
I play a little tin whistle, recorder, harmonica and horn, but not really call myself a musician, but as music lovers.
- Photography
have over 50000 slides I photographed since 1981. Digital I have are mostly not at hand but here is one that in Folker! published and there is also on the homepage .
This is the duo Eric'n Krainy (Eric Limbach and Uwe Krainer) at the last meeting on 11/01/2004 at Bonner Folk Anno Tubac in Bonn.
And since recently, the possibility is to show digital pictures from my system here without having already had to have a URL that I try it here with a photo of a landscape in the Westerwald, namely: Giesenhausen:
However, one must the slides or prints to scan only once. Now and then I'm going to an image of this page or replace. For example, the top on top of the page will be shown now and then a different picture, since most of it will match the current season. (If I'm not the photographer himself, in this regard is a name in parentheses.)
- Travel Well, if the money because is, I like to travel, and I think that they whole wide world right starts in front of the door and I take a walk or a hike in the nearby home as well guess a trip through a strange continent, and I on the other hand in America or Asia develop sense of home, because at least it's still our home planet. There is so much fun, landscapes, cities and cultures to explore.
- Nature Experience to travel and every day I enjoy the view of landscapes, the observation of animals, the change of weather and seasons.
- Beer tasting caution alcohol! There is so many tasty beers
especially in the
German, Belgian
and
British tradition. It's great fun,
to taste . But
wines, spirits (especially
whiskeys and brandies
) and - ah, no alcohol, but with caffeine or theine -
Tees I love.
My new discovery this summer.
- Writing Well, yes it shows here. "Who writes, remains" it says. What is published by my texts in print media, listed above, in some cases, what is somewhere on the Internet, but many things I have only hand-written in digital booklets, pads, and folders on hard disks and other storage media. Let's see what I still do like the Öffentichkeit accessible. So yes I would also like to earn some money, because I do not live solely by air, love and sunshine.
That was it yet, but here I stop, because the Diss waits on me and the time goes by ...
