A Moving Blog

A Moving blog This will be my last myspace blog, as I have decided to move to wordpress.  WordPress is easier to use and has a lot more functionality, such as allowing anyone to comment, not just myspace members and keeping stats on who has been looking at the blog.     So the blog is now at http://hickey.wordpress.com/ and the rss feed is http://hickey.wordpress.com/feed/   All previous posts have been copied over (although the formatting is a bit all over the place). 18:36 – 0 Comments – 0 Kudos - Add Comment - Edit - Remove

Berlin Day 1

24 Feb 2006

Berlin Day 1 Category: Travel and Places AHHHHHH Damn these german internet cafes, I was in the middle of writting my first blog entry when the pc suddenly rebooted with no warning or reason. boo hoo any way, I have been here for less than 24hrs and i am having a great time.right up untill the flight I was thinking that this trip was going to be waisted on me as i have been feeling a little flat resently, not depressed, just not really feeling much of anything. after an inflight doze, i decided that this trip was going to act as a defibulator and shock me back to life. and all of a sudden i was excited about having my first foreign adventure on my own. The train journey went past some of the places i love in this city, like the tv tower, potstomerplatz, teirgarden finishing off át Zoo Station (see track 1 of Actung baby). My b&b is in the center of the gay sceane of schernberg. so after dumping my bags, sorting out the exchange of keys and money with the landlord (nice american poof) I ´went out and did my best to paint the town pink. started out in Muntchmanns which I loved the last time i was here. there were 6 guys in there including me, the barman and an unplesent bearded german who didn’t speak english, so he tried to communicate in the international language of grabbing my crotch. I finished my becks and tired somewhere else, i think its called prinzknect. From the outside it looks like a very quiet hotel bar, i remember making that mistake last time. the long bar inside makes it look bigger on the inside than the outside (sounds familliar) with a few mins I saw a couple of guys from newcastle, steve who works for mesmac (newcastle gay support type thang) and his bf mark. Steve assumed i was here with rick, i had to break it to him that we split up about 2 years ago. while we were decideing weather to stay for another drink, the 3 of us noticed that a hot guy was getting up and leaving, so we followed … we ended up in scherne bar, nice and sleazy. several tv screens all showing different porn. The hot guy came over and joined our merry band. He did tell me his name but i didnt even atempt to remember it (i had had several becks by this stage and the name was long, foreign and complecated). He was here from bulgaria, or belivia, or somewhere else begining with B. We all ended up in new action bar, very sleazy, the kind of place where its difficult to have a wee with out someone breaking your stream with there fingers. There was a naked (apart from boots) man who sat next to me and started chatting to me. its not easy to make small talk with the only naked man in tha bar. I hope that stool was wiped before someone else sat there. By this time it was about 5am so i decided to come home. As for today, its been a really bright clear day, ok its still bloddy frezzin. so I went up the TV tower, had a bit of fun getting on random busses and trains to see where they might lead, walked around the teargarden (a big park) which was beautiful. I got as far as the victory statue or bird on a stick as i call her, and decided to walk up the stairs to the top. apparently there are over 50 million steps to the top which is five miles high, well thats what it felt like. so that brings me to needing a rest, hence spending half an hour in this internet cafe.
