For some of you Berlin might be a scary place to live. You try to find something good in it by reading this blog but it just won’t help? You should know that those fears are not causeless at all. So listen up closely my dear patients. Moving to Canada is not the only option left for you. I have gathered some good advise for all of you afflicted by a terrible Berlinophobia. For that you have to read my few thoughts on phoenician demons, meat, stone and human fear in German after the jump. Read on – Weiterlesen »

On Friday night I received the following message on my mobile from my flatmate: What is mainstream today? What first sounded like a philosophical question, I later understood was supposed to mean this : In which club can my study-buddies and I go tonight and find a normal mainstream party? I realised that I simply didn’t know. I have no idea under which rock the mainstream hides itself on the weekend. Oh, I certainly know where jackasses go. But I have no idea what the majority of this city would consider a good party. So, you see I have still some homework to do.

Madhouse Berlin: Therapy Session Nr. 5
This city makes us hungry. And now when the resources are getting thinner we have to give up humanity to encounter the beast in us. But are the lacerating beasts the ones to blame? Or are we the sickos who just stand there and watch like once upon a time in a fairy tale with a girl named Kitty Genovese. Or was her name Kitty Jo? Just can’t remember. For more of these thoughts and more carnal photography read on in German.

Berlin is for sure not Gotham City! And we don’t need Batman to survive the hostile everyday routine. But sometimes there are dangers you would never expect and then they are there for you: Your personal heroes. My personal heroes in the last couple of month were my friends. Like Clark Kent they are not the most outshining people if you don’t take the time to look closer. Perhaps they might even look childish or crazy to some snobbish Berlin hipsters. But I am privileged to know that they have the most incredible special abilities and in my eyes they are stronger than Superman, sexier than Catwoman, and faster than the Flash. I will never be ashamed of them and don’t care that they like to wear cheap Dolce and Gabbana fakes or have the hairstyle of Elvis Presley. For me they are the coolest, hippest and most fun people to hang out with. That’s why I wanted to take the time to thank them here for saving my ass so many times. I am sure that one day we will be a cool rock band, a crazy dance crew, and finally save the world together.

Madhouse Berlin: Therapy Session Nr. 4
Some new readers of us may wonder what this bullshit here is all about. I started this little series of articles last summer but had no chance or no spirit to continue them properly. But here I am writing about some serious problems a lot of Berliners have and don’t even really know about. Some of you may think of it as a bad habbit, but I am telling you that cliché-thinking is more than that. Why I think you should better cure your serious malignous disease and how to protect yourself from these people out there after the jump.

Berlin seems like a cul-de-sac for love. Apart from a few happy couples most boys and girls, straight or gay, complain about not having a relationship, about not finding the right man or woman. Impossible in a city like Berlin, with hundreds of nightclubs, bars, cafes and other hang-outs? Clearly not. The hunt for more and for someone better, neverending. Especially the party scene seems to offer opportunities, but in fact turns out being a love-killer. Read more after the jump: Read on – Weiterlesen »

And you thought the battle of sexes was over!
The new feminism is now menimism – a movement demanding a rethink of masculinity. Why would men need such a movement one might ask since men literally got it all – soft and female looks are demanded by the fashion industry, the higher wages issue still remains and it’s cool to be a stay-at home-dad.
So what are they fighting for? Read on – Weiterlesen »

Inspired by the idea „The Berlin Mountain“ I thought about the possibility of having a big volcano here in Berlin that makes it impossible to enter and leave the city. If you want to know more about my Volcanotopia just read on in German.
