people in berlin :: stud chick

her look was a little intense. i'm straight, but whoa! she had a girlfriend there too, ready to claw my eyes out, and it was at katya's weird party where there were crazy butch women throwing food at everything and knocking chairs over. you couldn't tell if it was malevolent or not, and all the men hid in the kitchen, hiding in the corner.

it's weird, i've never met a man who has that kind of charisma. it's always women. so many men i know try to be like that, but you can't attempt that kind of gravity. it's gotta be natural. you can't pull in the moon with a rubber band. you're just going to fail.

people in berlin :: phone booth boy

first, it's weird to see a phone booth since cell phones / mobiles / "handys" are so cheap and prevalent everywhere here. using a phone booth is really expensive.

it was sunday at noon, and he was dirty and wearing a fur vest and a kilt, he must have been freezing. his white legs showed between the knee high doc martens and the kilt, goosebumpy? but they were dirty, smudged with club dirt. when you have long, long legs, do they get cold more easily? i guess it's really awkward to go shopping for men's tights, even here in freak city berlin, but he could also have gone for long johns.

he had a very anxious look on his face, and he could have been either arguing or begging with someone on the phone. i mean, it's been so long since i've used a phone booth, but there's something really desperate about begging someone to do something from a phone booth.

these are places in public of last resort. phone booths are asking for it: you're ready to just cry in the middle of the street and push people away when they try to offer you tissues. is it really harder to let yourself cry in public if you are a man? it must be, right?

people in berlin :: asian waitress

usually the waitresses at japanese restaraunts are chinese, but at the thai restaraunt the waitress was japanese.

i like her because at other asian restaraunts they always ask me where i am from, what i am doing here, if i am married, if i am studying, if i want to have a baby, and what i think about German men.

she just gave me the food and a friendly smile. she probably also really has a great record collection, but who am i to guess?

people in berlin :: touf daddi

there's this scene in MAD MAX BEYOND THE THUNDERDOME where there is a midget who is attached to a big muscle guy named MASTER BLASTER. that's how babies are with these snarling hippie mommies and the construction worker daddies who are at home holding bottles of milk where bottles of beer usually go.

these sexy tough daddies are not to be messed with, but they often overbundle their babies, whose eyes are barely visible in the winter, gleaming with mischief. MASTER BLASTER. just pray that the baby is not having a bad day or touf daddi will be out for a beat down on the u bahn platform.

people in berlin :: s-bahn angel

some of the young girls on the train are so pretty in their new clothes and their make-up. she was tiny and bundled up in her pink pimkie jacket and knee-high boots radiating life on a gray day.

i like these small-boned girls that look a lot like all the other sweet girls. there's something comforting about how they all fit in with each other, like variations of a pattern repeating across the city.
