at the line up they put a paperbag over all the five guys, all the same goatie, all the same size .. and they put a planket over their bodies. the reason for that i found out only later. so i couldnt identify him, but fortunately my friend, who saw him 2 min before the assault could. the reason, they put a planket over the body, was cause the guy, who was arrested had a wound on his right fist ... haaalllloooo???!! i really hope, my head fucking broke his bones.

so according to all the circumstancial evidence, he still got arrested and now i am already waiting for weeks, that someone decides, if it comes to a trial or not. the logical reasons of this disguise game are
still unknown to me.

whatever .. so thats so far for the 9 stitches.

i am doing fine, you hardly can see anything anymore and my mum tellsme it just makes me look tougher hehe .. i ll go with that.

for my being here in nyc ... nothing has calmed down, i d say everything has just moved more to the extreme. last week for example .. just one big blast:

monday: my friend comes over to my place and we finish the 60% bottle of good old austrian rum, till i have to use the bathroom, while my friend takes the piss out of me (not literally por favor .... means he made fun of me ..aight??!!), then 20 mins later it was the other way round. this austrian rum kicks ass ... as some of you know, who ve been to london, while i was there and tasted some of this delicious brew (at that time we had 80% rum).
anyway, at 4 oclock in the morning, we get the call of margy and aboss, the pakistani cokedealer, that they ll pick us up with some car ... ok, why not. and 15 min we were in their car on the way  downtown.
at that point i got some gaps, but we knew some bar owner, who let us in to play poolbilliard and pacman, and we knew some other bar owner, who let us have more drinks till sunrise .... dont ask me, where or how we knew these barowners.

tuesday, i stayed home.

wednesday, i ended up in a karaokebar downtown, where i always end up, even if i am not supposed to. anyway, there after my lond stay in nyc (2 months now) i know the whole staff, including the bouncer, so they kick but everyone else, except me ... that isnt such a good
idea, cause then i always end up being there later than very late. the other really good thing in that bar is, that i always end up getting paid drinks by older ladies, who think i am really cute, the white boy with dreads and stuff and with that funny accent, that he calls english ... whatever, so i save a lot of money and have a lot of fun. they are always really pissed off with me, when they realise, that i can
drink a lot without thinking they are pretty and when it comes to closing time, they get kicked out, while i can stay ..... that saves me this embarrassing "hey, goodbye, even if you paid me 7 shots and 3 white russians, i still dont want to kiss you" stuff.

thursday -- HALLOWEEN in NYC:
ohh, yeah. it s crazy. so i skipped class, to go and see the parade. i bumped into a group of really weird crazy but funny guys, who were all really dressed up. so they did with me and i was going as a pimp (i only found out the next day, what that means, but everyone was really laughing, so i thought allright....).
with our star in our group, britney spears (a really tall gay hairdresser), a fairy, a rabbit, whit trash, ja. jane, star wars, wally, a pimp, and some other weird creatures, we hit the streets of the village and it was great !!! i think we made it at least into 4 really big newschannels, including CNN live cover bout the problems after september 11. we ended up being in a gay club, where a policeofficer gave head some other guy dressed up as some ... something... on the
dancefloor as if they are at their place home. no one really cared, but you know ... i am from a small mountain village in austria !!!! no, i mean i am used to that stuff ..... in this club was no womens toilett, so i always had to go with the girls in our group ... what a weird night. the atmosphere was brilliant though, really good music, funny  situations ... everyone was just totally freaking out.
and they loved britney !!

friday ... i recovered from halloween with sleeping till 4 pm. stood up, made my laundry and was supposed to go for just one drink .... this drink took me till 3 pm the next day.

saturday ... jazz night. my friends and i hit the streets of the village once more, moving from one good live music place to the next and there is a lot going on downtown. so we all ended up finally in a place
called smalls, where they have jam sessions till 7 am, you have to bring your own booze, what we did, and it s just superb! so we left that place and the sun was shining very bright ... very shocking, actually, so we went to this really nice place opposite for my first
typical american breakfast ... blueberry pancakes with loads of syrup. what a night! what a week.

i kind of missed the nyc marathon, as i went to bed at 10 am.

i am trying to get back to a kind of normal sleeping and living habit, but it is really tough .... i am just having too much fun.

today i had an exam, tomorrow as well. so i studied yesterday and it should be fine. hopefully. ... well, we ll see hehe.

so, yeah ... , come to nyc and have some fun with me. it really is a great city. the only thing you shouldnt do here, is being a nice person, when you know her boyfriend isnt a nice person hehe.

another thing here is .... the reason the criminality is so high here, is you find out very quick that the law and order system here sucks big time. and even if you do break the law and get caught .... nothing
doesnt really happen, if the damage done is less than 50000 dollar ... and if something happens, it will happen maybe in a year ...

god bless america hehe.

oh, yeah, if you really wanna know stuff bout this country: go and see "bowling for columbine". a damn good movie!

so take care,
