this is my crying wall. at least it has been my crying wall for as far as i can remember. i only come here to cry and sometimes i try to disguise this fact by writing something different. even the pictures i end up posting are disguises for the usually depressive state of mine.

but this is not totally my fault, at least if you belong to the group that thinks we can´t control other people´s lives, nor the impact our deeds cause on others. i try to live my life positively, but this is certainly harder than it looks. we keep getting hit by problems that often dont concern us, and still we have to solve them, or at least live alongside them.

everyone has problems and i know it, but living with other people´s problems is enough and i will only write about my matters for now.

have you heard of jeremy lin? if you havent, i dont care, but keep reading. this asian-descendence guy, who apparently knows how to play basketball very well, has risen from nowhere and now plays point guard for the new york knicks. he has been playing awesomely and nobody remembers that the team has got baron davis in the roster.

though hes had great high school years, he hasnt been offered a schollarship by any college and ended up playing for an ivy league university, harvard. hes graduated on some important course and, of course, played ball well enough to at least be selected in the second round of the 2010 draft, but that didnt happen.

he played summer camp leagues in 2010 and after good showing signed a one year contract with his hometown golden state warriors. even with a handful of good games played, he didnt see much court time and was waived in the end of that season. hes also played in the nbdl with big numbers.

later this season, after some injuries, the knicks were in need of a point guard. they saw on lin a good prospect, and it has been confirmed. after three games and three wins, lin has the averages of more than twenty ppg and 7 apg.

my opinion on politics is pretty simple: it is something that has been created by the most intelligent person that has ever lived. this bastard must have been given a great amount of money or cows or lands by the richest fucker of those times. the creation was pretty simple, and was (and is) based on keeping people in a leash. this leash is velveted and doesn´t hurt phisically. pay attention: doesn´t hurt phisically. that richest fucker then became the first politician.

kreuzberg, or cross hill, is a borough near the mitte in berlin. it has one of the lowest number of german citizens, if not the lowest, of the city, due to the high number of mainly turkish immigrants. Formed by jews around 1820, it was almost a rural area till industrialization made berlin grown fast. the area became a place for intense housing and rents were affordable to most people.

after world war 2 the place was destroyed and was kinda abandonned. since the reunification of germany (and even a litte bit before), kreuzberg, which was one of the poorest areas of berlin, has become an interesting place to immigrants, musicians and artists in general, cause the cost of living was low.

nowadays it's one of berlin's cultural centers, and besides thriving on it, still has high unemployment rates and the city's lowest average incomes. it's a 'young people' borough; the population has been completely swapped more than once in the last twenty years.

it's home to berlin's punk rock movement as well as other subcultures. every year it's held in the area the 'carnival of cultures', that includes music, food, street entertainment and craft stalls. ive been inspired by bloc party's 'kreuzberg' song to write this thing, and guided by wikipedia, as usual.
