Sometimes I walk around my neighborhood and some of the sometimes I take my camera. Document the world around me. History repeating itself. Edited for the exciting parts.
I must admit I’m a touch overwhelmed. Just trying to be quiet…trying to listen and see.
I’m writing this with all my might trying to keep it strait, like I don’t want to hear what I have to say, so let’s keep it short, shall we?
I took some video and kept my mind off of other things with editing it around until I found it half interesting.

Reminds me of the trash bag in American Beauty. Pretty cliche shit.
Oh, well. I have nothing else right now to add.

The name Teufelsberg, ‘Devil’s Mountain,’ is a misnomer all around.
The Berliner-beloved hill on the city’s western edge is neither a mountain, nor should it be blamed on some demon. Teufelsberg should be called, “Humanity Heap.” That mound of dirt is owned by us.
The hill is perhaps best known for its Cold War spy history–the former CIA listening post perched on top–but the creepy spook ruin is only the bright cherry donning the whipped-cream-chocolate-fudge-triple-chunk History Sunday. Teufelsberg’s gooey history comes in layers.
Alas, as everything good in this world…under constant threat from redevelopement, including a new plan with new investors…Teufelsberg’s days as it is known now are numbered. Read the rest of this entry »
