Tom's newest inner and outer life-facts:

Instead of being employed at the NDR (North German Television) (see: right) has to turn left now - to get his money for living - from the social welfare (Team-Work-Hamburg = ARGE)

He himself, for years now, did not want to go on that road - but now it had to be done, just to survive and pay the rent - but even this money he gets now, is absolutely not enough to pay his monthly hires for the car.

His bank also wants back the overdraft, Tom had to take just to pay his food and new living-space ...

Here you can see Tom with his documents to show the friendly women at social welfare, that he wants society to keep him as a fellow citizen, and not to let him be a 'down and out' so he can survive as a nonworker - for some time - with a little help of Christian compassion of that social net he almost falls through ... despite his highly developed spirit and soul for the one and only BEING.

Next steps he doesn't know, maybe his indebtedness needs to be looked after at another social agency ... ?

These weeks now some money has to come in, or he will be finished with dreaming about jobs in his old profession as a TV-cameraman.

Down below you see Thomas in front of his new station wagon (Volkswagen Passat Variant - with sunshine roof and air-condition and heated seats) Tom took this photo right in front of his house with that new one-room-flat, with bath, kitchen, corridor.

He had to leave his old cheap flat (the one with cockroaches, from time to time) because now the landlord said that he wants to renovate those fucked up apartments ... Sure enough Tom could only find a space with a rent almost double as much than before ... and he had to buy all furniture anew ... because the facilities were blank of anything, just a stove and a washbasin were in there.
