My Interests

This year is back to old travelling routines. Meeting people. Recovering my fears. I like talking. and listening. Laughing - especially with Maritzel. Books. Music. Live shows. I like talking on the phone. Cuddling with my cat Speedy. Cuddling in general. Going out, stand up comedy gigs (or Betroffenheitslyrik concerts - Olaf and Jochen after a show in MD):Chatting about history. Discussing the use and misuse of stereotypes. Going out for coffee. Every day now.. yeah! work.. Right now, addicted to writing my journal. It's gotta add up to an autobiography, I'm telling you!

I'd like to meet:

Meeting people is easy.

Music:

I spend - or used to but still do somewhat - a lot of time at this place: Moritzbastei In case you're wondering why I haven't added their myspace site, just take a good look! Who am I to feed the ego of the egoistical good-for-nothing schmuck who runs the page? ----------------------------------------------------------- Always a good band to start with: The Turbo ACs. Bottom 12. The Virginia City Revival. Butthole Surfers every now and then. Too Many DJs - good for driving to parties. The Hives. An occasional dose of Tenacious D. Sick of it All shows - packed yet satisfying. Think about Mutation. one great solo artist: Marlene Dietrich. Forgot The Riverboat Gamblers - some of the most dangerous shows I went to. KMFDM. The Movement. Nashville Pussy. ABBA (so what?!). The Cooper Temple Clause. The Briefs. Mando Diao. Sportfreunde Stiller (Ich Roque - alter BayernFan). Muse. Slut, Nova International - I am being held at gun point by some mad Indie fans!! Jens Friebe. Franz Ferdinand. Steakknife. Skaos. Art Brut. Morrissey. The Smiths. Die Späties!! Mando Diao. Sugarplum Fairy. Therapy! The Hives. Arctic Monkeys. Maximo Park.

Movies:

Television:

When it comes to sports: football - the European version, tennis, pole vaulting - of course, what else? I'll think of something.. Ha! now that Schumacher is not in anymore, Formula One. Reruns of Smack the Pony (or watching the dvds, thanks Ada!!)CNN. n-tv. Quatsch Comedy Club. Little Britain - Geez, someone get me the new season on DVD!!! Super RTL when I can't sleep- they have some cool animated text messaging show, can watch it for hours.

Books:

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. dictionaries. Francois Lelord with his Hector series. Books on Native American rights and federal Indian law. Easy reading: Julian Barnes' History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters. The Gospel according to Biff. History. Love the Xenophobe's series. Watching the English. Interesting travel pieces. anything that gets the juices flowing.

Heroes:

anybody good natured, honest fun, people who like to help others but not ask anything in return. Isn't that something? Oh yeah, and people who can laugh at themselves. Very important!
