alive, in berlin

hi all,
so the hostel im staying at has wireless, but my computer (and apparently most other computers) dont agree with it, so updates have been few and far between.

generally, i have been doing a lot of thinking, have stayed out till the sun comes up a few times this week, have gradually started to really enjoy berlin (which really reminds me of SF), and gotten over some serious lethargy and lack of direction.

its become a scortching day here today, and i must find some sort of pool or water to laze in soon.
Spent my day yesterday checking out some bike shops, and the first one was one setup by an ex-messenger, who knew all the big characters from SF, most notably, my boss from godspeed, brandon, supermike, and eric zo. talking to him made me very nostalgic for being a messenger, and i had moments where i thought that maybe i should become a messenger again when i get back...not going to happen though.

havent ridden a bike in a very long time, about 3 months and am fantasizing #about getting back on one. really want to get deep into cyclocross this winter.

ok, that is about it for now.

i learned about this festival in portugal this morning, and i think i will be in spain at the time, so, maybe that is a stop on this tour....

also, in kreuzberg, the area im staying in, as a act of agression from the various extreme left residents (punk, skinheads and anarchists) 60 luxury cars and SUVs have been burned so far this year! cool!

i am taking pictures, but havent had much of a chance to upload anything so far.

btw, german keyboards have the y and z reversed, amongst other things, so bare with me.

ok,
thats it for now.
