Yes, it's a crazy way to get some money. And yes, right after this photo was taken , he got hit in the head hard enough that it almost drew blood. Sancho is originally from Brooklyn, and so am I, so we had something in common to talk about. His wife was out there with him, but he was doing the "work".
Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin ("German Museum of Technology") was founded in 1982 in Berlin, Germany, and exhibits a large collection of historical technical artifacts. The museum's main emphasis is on rail transport, but it also features exhibits of various sorts of industrial technology. Recently, it has opened both maritime and aviation exhibition halls. The museum also contains a science center called Spectrum.
On May 15, 2002, a special exhibition opened which featured the inventions of computer pioneer Konrad Zuse, including a reproduction of the Z1.
It is located in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin, in buildings formerly part of the freight depot attached to the Anhalter Bahnhof. The building's famous C-47 'Raisinbomber' Skytrain can be seen with ease from the top of the Fernsehturm and in the past from a descending aircraft landing at Tempelhof Airport.
The museum contains many relics throughout, including an enormous railway collection, a large aircraft section which houses a Messerschmitt Bf 110, Flak cannon, the last Focke-Wulf Fw 200 and a V-1 flying bomb. The Cessna that Mathias Rust flew to Moscow during the cold war has also been added to the exhibition.

A few days ago, I was at Starbucks, and saw a girl around 12-15 years old, being picked on for her weight, by her friends.
Though, I was in a hurry to get to class. I wrote a little note on a napkin. When I got my order, I went up to them, and told her friends to grow up and stop bullying people. I handed the girl the note, and I told her she needs to find better friends who will accept her for who she is. On the note, I wrote one of my favorite quotes:
"Fooling others by not showing your real personality is no less than fooling and disrespecting yourself."
I hope that girl realize that she doesn't have to hide or be ashamed of herself. She can finally be herself!
I wanted to make it a point to read a lot more this year. I've been getting into romantic novels a lot lately, ironically. I feel that reading more will help enhance my own writing. The Hunger Games is a great series, I recommend!

If you can always be different, why always be the same?
Se puoi essere sempre diverso, perchè essere sempre uguale?
These marks by ancient peoples provide for much interpretation. I think I see a majorette twirling fire batons and an anter sporting dog sending smoke signals with its tail.
Help me interpret the marks. What do you see?
Check out my new design for a two-colour screenprint. Made this design because I’m lately very much into riding my (new) bike through the city I live, Amsterdam. And as you might know..”It’s a jungle out there!” So get rid of your car and ride your bike!
I started writing diary in 1969 :-)
50 Jahre meines Lebens erst in Tagebüchern, Dokumenten und Fotos gesammelt, dann aufgeschrieben. Meine Freunde, meine Männer, meine Familie und die, die dazu geworden sind..., eine nicht immer geradlinige Biographie..., sehr erotisch, fröhlich, ernst, traurig, nachdenklich, fast immer spannend...;-)
Wer an meiner Geschichte interessiert ist, sollte nichts gegen Schwule und viel Zeit zum Lesen haben.
50 years of my life first collected in diaries, documents and photos, then written down. My friends, my men, my family and those who became my family..., a not always straightforward biography..., very erotic, cheerful, serious, sad, thoughtful, almost always exciting...;-)
Anyone interested in my story should have nothing against gays and plenty of time to read.

Hehe, hello everybody! Had no inspiration for today's photo, and was doing my makeup with my iPod on my usual playlist, when this song came on ^__^
So I randomly kissed a piece of paper, wrote the lyrics, and took some photos, haha. Which is completely random, I know. I had another idea but my ridiculously large nose ruined it, lolol.
Hope you all had a lovely Monday!
These actions are by Halah. I'm not sure on the editing here, but you know. ^__^
And just in case you can't read it, it says 'I'm gonna be his first and last kiss', from the song Fashion Of His Love by Lady Gaga :-D
