Nouvelle Vague (Jello Biafra) Too Drunk to Fuck

Berlin...What about now?

December the first, 2009 The end of the month just ended. Ended. I still don’t know if it ended a month ago, a week, or even yesterday, just ended. What am I now? A person who I’ve met? A colleague? A friend? A lover? The girl? The woman that … Just don’t know. But... as as many years ago, for once I would just like to say “I love you” (or just “I like you”) with some meaning, some effort, some significance for each other, for each one of us, for me and for you. Would you understand me? Of course… you don’t. But I will. I always will. And every day I still think about you. You know. I have the will.

November 23rd 2009 Still in Berlin. The training course has finish and now I am staying in some house in the centre. Of course, I had this proposition from a participant in the training, that lives here. Actually, I’ve even got the delight of choosing with whom I wanted to stay. This is, indeed, one of the things that I’ve value the most while I’m staying – people here just fell the need to receive well others. I think -in part- because they already accepted has a fact that you also will gain with that – in a self construction way. Anyway, I am being very very well welcome! I am getting to start to gain some real knowledge about German’s culture and, for example, the impact of their historical issues in their ways of living it’s astonishing. The divisions between the two parts and the burden they carry on about the both world wars and the Jewish massacre still makes a difference. Perceiving that it’s being very useful for me. At the same time, it helped me focusing more on the positive aspects of this matter. This training course really was successful in this point. And, particularly, getter engaged with the people from everywhere, especially Turkey and their practices and costumes’ and thinking’s actually illustrated what we all already knew: we are so different and so similar at the same time. We are humans, rather you liked it or not. So… Why do we – humans – are so delightful in our job of ending with our own specie? And also, why do we insist on doing it knowing that we are doing it? And not just doing it, but doing it in the most painful and slowly way we can. To suffer just a little bit more – because what I’ve done already it’s not enough? There are so many simple ways of promoting development in general, well being, self-construction, “desconstruction” and “anosher many osher shings”… I should remind you that the theme of this course was Human Rights and to empower young people as active citizens of Europe. But who really wants that? Is this empowerment real? Who promotes it? What is the under aim? Do I fell that my beliefs fit in this reality scene? Does anyone know? ...

November 17 Well... For the first time, I had the time to write my thoughts in BErlin. I've been here for 3 days now, and I can certainly say: this is being one of the most addition experiences in my life. Although I know that it mostly happens because -now- have the openness and some wisdom to feel like, today I left the hostel and went to the centre of the city.In fact, I am loving the training course and I am learning a lot about what I want to do (how can I be a better community psychologist). I also wanted to experience the life in Berlin. So, we went to STUDIO 54 and… What can I say… It is really amassing. The original Studio 54 was an old building that (I think) used to be like a cover for the homeless young people. Now a days, it shelter every kind of artists that want to do exhibits and sells some of their work. Also, this one have like 3 or 4 bars and we had the opportunity to see an alive concert with a contra-bass, a girl singing and a boy that sing while he was playing the guitar – he has an excellent voice, actually, and plays very softly but meanfully like he was some tip of mixture between Ben Harper and Eddie Vedder. The walls are covered with innumerous drawings and all kinds of paintings. Finally, in the exterior we saw an iron exhibit (or bronze, I don’t know) and I bought a painting from some French guy. I’ve being here in this city only for so little time but I can clearly noticed that people here are very open minded and accept the difference with so much sensibility, at least probably more than in Portugal, and easily they will ear and help you – I don´t have a bad thing to say about the Germans. Well, all this means, in fact, that – and I would never imagine that that could be possible until maybe one month ago – I’m starting to feel that I could really live here for some months. There is a world of culture and people and art that everyone should try to know at some point of their life… this is the time to.
