my first attempt of programming/customizing a blog system. i’m more of a visual guy, you know - not that much into cryptical coding.
so this is the new website of LAUB, dedicated to our new album DEINETWEGEN which will be released on AGF Producktion in April 2007. after a pause of almost five years where both of us spread our borders, this is the new life sign of LAUB. some might have thought that LAUB was dead, but that was never the case. we see life as an ongoing flow of learning, evolvement and growing and there are times where you have to concentrate on something different.
if this sounds boring or ridiculous to you, blame it on my tormented brain. after hours (maybe days) of staring at endless php code and fighting against the bugs of wordpress, i must admit that i feel a bit tired.
i’ll take a break now, get back into real life and have a nice dinner with my beloved ones and some friends from greece.
