just some tidbits.

well, its been a while since i last posted on this here fine blog. as you all may know, mike done got his picture taker stoled. man that is so fucking lame. the worst part about the whole thing is that that was half of all the pictures we took. and secondly my camera takes the worst pictures known to man. i think i might just make one of those pin hole cameras and call it a day. but i digress. now, we are in hamburg for about 5 days and it seems pretty cool. lots of young people and MAD graffiti on every building. im not just talking about illegal graff, like huge murials on every building. we got into hamburg yesterday at about 3pm and checked into a hostel in a pretty cool neighborhood. we bummed around till about 8pm and then went down to the ever so famous reeperbahn where the beatles got their start. i had no idea that such a place existed in hamburg let alone anywhere outside of amsterdam. mike kind of knew what we should check out in the area so we began the tour of the reeperbahn. this place is a strip of a road about 10 blocks long where prostitution is legal, there are sex shops every 10 feet, weird old perverts lurking around every corner and "the gaurds" as we like to call them. "the gaurds" are the most intimidating females on the face of the planet. they are hookers who post up on this one block of the reeperbahn and gaurd this tiny block where the hookers are behind glass like in amsterdam. apparently to enter the tiny block you have to be 18 or whatever, we never found out because we were to scared of these prostitutes to have a look. so mike and i were walking down the street that runs parallel to the gaurded street and we chose the wrong side to walk down. these hooks stay on the opposite side of the street from the police station and spread the length of the entire street with about 4 feet between eachother. they were stopping us in our tracks speaking crazy german and broken english, pulling on our jackets and just generally harassing us. never in my life have i been so intimidated by a woman or should i say a gang of women. this block is pure insanity! i am so scared to even cross the street there. so after being accosted by crazy hookers we went to an open mic poetry slam. that was interesting to say the least. didnt understand a word that was said, but there were lots of fine women who didnt accost us in the place so that was alright. we are trying to spend as much time in germany as possible so as to avoid the highway robbery called sweden. the country is soooooooo expensive it hurts my brain just to think about it. but, we get to see to what end? diskonto massgrav bruce banner just to name a few. thats all for now, snorkel is a god among men, twentysevenshots is going to level the twin cities in about a month, ben rasta is the funniest man alive, dooley needs to cut his beard, j.j. holds it down like no other, mike lee, we will no longer be in amsterdam so dont bother, jordan kills it, and to everyone else, stay up!
