Hi! I absolutely love all of your detailed posts about Richard, they make my day when you post them, I was wondering if you could make a compilation of very wholesome moments with fans? I'm afraid that Rammstein will never come back to the US and I'll miss my chance of meeting him in person and I'd love to see some sweet fan interactions ❤️ Dankeschön ❤️❤️

Hi 🤍

Please excuse my late reply to this, but I love this ask! It's known that Richard can be very warmhearted towards fans and gives out bone-crushing hugs left and right - I found several accounts of fans who met him and will accumulate these in the following post 😊 (sources are linked at the end of the post.)

First some stories of fans who shared their experiences on the internet:

One fan met him before a concert, he gave the fan a hug and they say that to this day, they haven't forgotten the feeling of this hug.

Here's an account of a fan who met Richard at a resort in Mexico: "Richard never acted like we were imposing on his time or being a hindrance, even though he was with a table of friends. As soon as we were in eye contact range, his entire demeanor changed. He lit up like a Christmas tree and stood to shake our hands, stood close to us to chat for a few minutes - five minutes, tops, and gave us hugs as we left before shaking our hands again."

After a concert: "The hug I got was bone crushing. I was right in front of him. Cried my way through Frühling [...]. He checked on me and asked me if I was ok. Said i was fine and even the amount of times I'd seen them play, i got so caught up in the emotion. Richard told me they were the most moving moments for him at least and pulled me into a huge hug that if i think about it, i can still feel. Sounds weird but when you get a hug like that you dont forget it."

Richard seems to be a bit camera-shy while being out and about (declining selfies most of the time), but offers/asks for hugs himself as a return, as told by a fan who met him at the Chicago Airport. The fan apologized after asking for a selfie, yet Richard immediately asked her to give him a hug afterwards.

At a concert at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit back, May 2012: "For some reason, I thought of making a sign that said "Pick für mich, bitte". We were right at the barricade and I decided to flash the sign. I don't even know what I expected out of it. Well, Richard fucking Kruspe went to his mic stand, got a pick, went to the security guard in front of the railing and told him to give me the pick. The guard and I had chatted prior to their performance, so he looked at me with a "way to go, kid" look. People around me cheered. Best concert memory ever. Nothing but a class act."

Another fan reports him being quite talkative and attentive during parties - apparently really listening to the other person and showing real interest. He really likes to talk about music and guitars and seemingly likes hearing the opinions of fans.

Meeting the band in front of their hotel: "His hug was the tightest, and he smells SO GOOD, I wanted to ask what was his perfume. I told him I loved Emigrate, he gave me the biggest smile and thanked me."

Then we have voice from withing the fandom on here - the lovely and helpful @anwiel13 said this about meeting him at a Meet&Greet (thank you again for sharing this! 🤍):

"Once he entered the room, we immediately know it. Not that he did something, but he really has this big personality, in very good way. He was smiling all the time, unless taking photos, than we was all his gothic deep stare self. He was also super nice to two girls, who were absolutely nervous, telling him how much they love him. We all know he hear this all the time, but he really looked like he is listening them and make them feel not like crazy fangirls annoying him with their feelings. If that's make sense. He hugged one girl when she asked him and again, did not looked like she's annoying him with this. He left very quickly after taking photos and signed our things. Overall, he was very nice and caring. I heard somebody complain about him being all snobby and annoyed during some M&G, but he was nothing like this during the one in Prague."

Plus I have found two 'essay'-posts on here describing fan-experiences at Meet&Greets and afterparties:

Here Richard is described as really warmhearted, smiling and patient with the fans:

A very wholesome interaction (with a cute Paulchard momet) with a fan who brought selfmade fan art with her:

And since of course I found some experiences with other band members on my research-way, here are my favourites of some of the other guys 😊:

At an afterparty: "I spent a long time talking to Flake who is beautifully underappreciated. He's such a wise man with an incredibly dark sense of humour. [...] Flakes English isn't great but he seemed to really appreciate that someone would talk to him in German and happy to help me figure out words I wasn't familiar with and vice versa. I really appreciated it as he did slow down his natural German speaking speed to help me continue a conversation in German as native speaking speed was just a little too fast."

At a meet and greet: "Schneider gave me such Dom-Daddy vibes that I would have got on my knees if he asked. He was so friendly, asked about myself and I was able to give him a letter from my best friend who had spoken to him years before, and he was so happy to take it."

At an afterparty of Till's solo tour (London concert): "I went to see Lindemann in London and was invited to the after party and ended up trying to open a bottle of wine with a set of keys with Till and then ended up drinking vodka and chatting to him for a few hours. Such a humble human and one of my biggest role models in life - he made me want to become a fire performer and he said I looked great doing what I do."

"Did a meet & greet on the 2019 tour and a bunch of the after parties. Doom is an incredible dancer and Paul and Richard give the best hugs." (I've read several times that Schneider seemingly kills it on the dance floor 👀)

Sources: 1 2 3 4 5 6

All in all, it's always amazing reading about fans having nice experiences with them - but let's not forget (since some people do exactly this), the band members are also just human beings like you and me, don't owe the fans smiles and good moods, and it's not a crime to have a bad day once in a while (with less enthusiastic interaction with fans) or just wanting some peace or being in a hurry, since they all do have private lives🤝🏼

WARREN, Mich. – Automaker Stellantis has threatened to move production of the current Ram 1500 pickup truck from a factory in suburban Detroit to Mexico, a union leader said Sunday. United Auto Workers Vice President Rich Boyer, who heads the union’s Stellantis unit, said the automaker has discussed the move during ongoing contract negotiations that are occurring simultaneously but separately between the UAW and General Motors, Stellantis and Ford Motor.

'Bringing the energy': How Scott Moir is moulding the next generation of ice dancers

Scott Moir hasn't lost his edge. 

January 10, 2023

Former Olympic dance figure skater Scott Moir, one half of the gold medal team of Virtue and Moir, now coaches teams from the U.S., Mexico and Canada.

“We're going to kick Charlie's ass,” Moir, 35, quipped during a lively training session last week at Komoka Wellness Centre. “Quote that one.”

The one-liners, verbal jabs, laughs and hockey talk is so familiar to anyone who closely followed Moir’s career with his longtime partner, Tessa Virtue of Ilderton, to Olympic gold and the top of the skating world.

Later this month, the ice dance superstar-turned-coach will be in San Jose, Calif., to support one of his promising teams – Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko – at the U.S. national championships.

In the fall, he bet Ponomarenko, a die-hard San Jose Sharks fan, the Maple Leafs would beat them. When Toronto didn’t, Moir wore one of Sharks captain Logan Couture’s jerseys on the ice, then handed it over to his student.

“He loved that,” said the head coach and managing director of the Ice Academy of Montreal’s Ontario campus.

This week, Moir will wear out a path to the Kiss and Cry area at the Canadian figure skating championships in Oshawa. His local crew is looking to take big steps after some international success.

Londoners Lily Hensen and Nathan Lickers aim to crack the Top 5 in the senior ranks while Ridgetown’s Alyssa Robinson and Calgary’s Jake Portz have that potential, too. Haley Sales and Nikolas Wamsteeker, who relocated from B.C., hope to grab a podium spot.

Kilworth’s Jordyn Lewis and Ilderton’s Noah McMillan want to earn a junior worlds berth and former novice champs Layla Veillon and Alex Brandys, both Londoners, are taking the next step up the ladder. Lewis and Veillon are also on the Ice Ignite synchro team seeking a junior worlds spot.

Internationally, Leia Dozzi and Pietro Papetti skate for Italy and Samantha Ritter and Daniel Brykalov represent Azerbaijan.

“The project here is to create two equal schools,” Moir said. “Montreal is, by far, the most dominant in the world. At the last Olympics, they had 10 of the last 20 skaters (in ice dance). That’s a lot. It’s a big ask, but I think it’s possible now.”

Moir studied the Montreal way when he and Tessa Virtue moved there for their dominant run to the 2018 Olympic title. They worked under old friends Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon, then Moir brought the spirit of camaraderie and friendly, in-house competition back home.

“The kids have to create the atmosphere they want,” he said. “They cheer each other on. Even though a lot of them will go and be on the competition ice with each other, I learned the real magic is if you have each other’s back. There’s a balance to be struck.

“We (Moir and Virtue) didn’t have the same in Canton (Mich.),” he added. “We had it early when Charlie and I were really firing in 2010. I wasn’t the most mature young man in 2014, so I didn’t use that environment to my advantage. But we doubled down on it in 2018 (alongside the French team of Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron) and it was to our advantage, for sure.”

LENDING A HAND: Moir grew up surrounded by figure skating coaches. That family connection remains at the academy. His mother Alma, aunt Carol and cousins Sheri and Cara are part of the staff.

“It’s fun – it’s kind of hard to call him my boss now, though,” Alma joked. “He stresses a positive attitude to the coaches and an old (veteran) here sometimes, I have to do a check on how positive I am some days. It took a while for the kids to feed into it, but you could see the energy change from the summer to now.”

Moir has some non-family help, too, in Justin Trojek and soon-to-be-married Madison Hubbell and Adrian Diaz, a Spanish ice dancer. Hubbell, who finished third at the last Olympics with Zachary Donohue, called her immediate jump from athlete to full-time coach a rare transition.

“It was really after meeting Adrian and seeing his love of skating and different perspective that I started enjoying analyzing skating together,” the 31-year-old from Michigan said.

“When we trained together (in Montreal), one of my favourite things was Scott’s energy – whether it was doing back-and-forth cardio or competing on a daily basis. It can feel like a very solo sport and Scott made a point of including you and cheering you on with a compliment or kind word. He’s a big instigator in what I would consider more of a hockey mentality: rowdy, yelling and having fun.”

MOVING FORWARD: Moir, who’s married and has a two-year-old daughter, recently congratulated Virtue on her engagement to Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly. Once in a while, he admits he will press her for some inside info on his favourite team.

His skaters want to hear stories about Virtue, too.

“I looked up to Tessa so much and still do every day,” said Carreira, 22. “She came to the rink once and it was literally the best day. Getting to train with Scott Moir every day is a privilege. I grew up in Montreal and they were my heroes.”

Moir believes the much-loved on-ice connection he shared with Virtue can be taught technically, but he has no interest in churning out mere carbon copies.

“These athletes aren’t going to be able to be Tessa and Scott, because in four, eight and 12 years, Tessa and Scott aren’t going to be good enough,” he said. “They already aren’t. We wouldn’t have won the last Olympics. The sport is evolving, the skaters will and I have to, as well. It’s about making it their own. Everyone has a different look and story.”

Carreira and Ponomarenko, whose parents Marina and Sergei won 1992 Olympic ice dance gold, are developing that mature skating connection that served Virtue and Moir so well. But Moir isn’t designing similar programs for Veillon, 16, and Brandys, 17.

“You can’t coach two athletes the same way and you motivate the man and woman different,” Moir said. “That’s the fun of coaching. I don’t come here to walk down memory lane. I come here to learn, too. How can I teach this kid a counter even though I was a good counter turner? Now, I need to figure out a different way. It’s a challenge and my coaching staff challenges me. Hopefully, this momentum turns into a snowball and keeps rolling.”

The bond is already encouraging.

“Even though I’m one of the youngest, you completely forget an age gap,” Veillon said. “You get to come to the rink every day and skate with some of your closest friends. The coaches are amazing, they want the best for us and we have such a fun time.”

ONE-ON-ON WITH COACH SCOTT MOIR

Has your approach to the sport changed since on-ice retirement?

“I was much more performance and result-based. I wanted to win. I studied the points and what needed to be better to be on top. My experience with Tessa, as a coach, showed me if I strategize properly, it can work. I was a little riskier as an athlete, because it’s you out there. You’re the one who puts your heart and soul into it. Now, I feel I owe it to the kids. You feel responsible, but you still have to be a little dangerous. That edge is what gives us an advantage. The goal is not personal-best skates alone. It’s taking advantage of your opportunity. Go for it and take the lessons of being able to perform in front of people, because you have to really bring it on this stage.”

What’s the goal of the Ice Academy of Montreal’s Ontario campus?

“To make great people. It sounds so stupid, but we believe success is a byproduct. You’re a good person first, support your teammates, demand the best of yourself, never stop wanting to grow and be ready to learn. It’s not a trade-off. I used to think you can drink the Kool-Aid and be your best self, but I wanted to win. Patrice, Marie-France and Romain (Haguenauer) showed me it all goes hand-in-hand. We’re an elite school and we want to be on top of the world. As we develop these kids and these skills that will serve them well in life, we want to become excellent athletes able to stand on top of podiums. We don’t have a ton of great skating schools in Canada and our success doesn’t mean we can’t have great schools in Scarborough, Vancouver and Calgary. We’re the most dominant skating country with the most rinks. I hope we can get the footprint a little bigger so we can affect more athletes. Hopefully, we can compete against our Montreal teammates and push their boundaries, too.”

How can you affect the skating experience for your students beyond the technical elements?

“I had success in my career, but I got bogged down in the negatives over many years. Who knows if we would’ve beaten Marilyn (Davis) and Charlie, but I think my outlook on skating kept me from being my best self leading up to 2014 (silver medal in Sochi). I’d love for the kids to hear my wisdom and not have to go through the black period I did. At the same time, it’s their journey and they need to have their own path. I can have a direct impact on the negative parts of the sport that don’t need to exist. There are parts of the sport people may think of as ugly or the judging, but being able to be happy about yourself no matter what people think can be a positive. In this age of social media and all that s—, it’s important. Even before the scores, are you personally happy? Did you give everything you had? I’m hoping to prepare for them to deal with those issues the right way.”

How do you impact a generation of skaters who didn’t face the same challenges you did?

“They motivate very differently. It’s tricky for me. I grew up in the other one. My dad was fair and hard on me. If I deserved it, I got it and I deserved it a lot. He didn’t baby me and I thrived. I have fantastic parents. I had some coaches that were a little harder on me and when you go through the Russian schools, of course, that’s the way it is. I loved it. There were also dark parts it created that I also had to deal with later in life. I think there’s a way to expect the most out of these kids and have them expect it, but through love and support. There’s a balance. You can be critical and deliver the message the right way. This generation motivates from exciting things. You’ve got to keep it fresh and keep them rolling and feeling good. My first couple of years, I got bogged down in hammering on them, because I like being in the trenches. The kids felt it was super heavy and it didn’t work. I started being more positive and bringing the energy every day and you see them lift up with results much better. We’re trending that way and it’s natural for me, too.”

Are you able to watch old videos of you and Tessa Virtue skating without finding every little fault in it?

“My perspective of our career is probably the most jaded. You can’t really watch yourself without it. Watching it is getting better and better, actually. You forget the cues you’re supposed to be doing and I’m able to just watch Tessa much more than what I’m doing wrong, so that’s enjoyable. I watch it with a different eye now that I coach. I was very critical and it wasn’t fun to watch tape before, but it’s getting better. I think for the sake of ice dance – and I think that’s why 2018 was such a success for us – the sport evolved. We came back, dove in, pushed ourselves and were able to come away with Olympic gold again. It would be foolish for me to step in and say if I can create 10 Scott Moirs, we’re going to be successful. I don’t believe that.”

Vor allem dieses Gemälde erinnerte mich an die Berge ,die wir in Nevada, Arizona und New Mexico gesehen und durchfahren hatten.

Dann ging es durch die Gärten nahe des Kunstmuseums, wo verschiedenste Kunstwerke und Skulpturen ausgestellt waren.

Da der berühmte Friedhof St. Louis Cementary #1 aktuell nicht begehbar ist, waren wir noch auf dem Cementary #3 nahe des Museums. Auch dieser Friedhof hatte viele alte, schöne Mausoleen und Gräber und es gab mehrere Führungen über den Friedhof, wir entschieden uns bei echt schwülen 27 Grad aber dagegen.

Stattdessen ging es mit dem Bus (Tagesticket 3$!) in den Garden District, vorbei an viel Grün, vielen alten Bäumen und schönen, oft alten Villen.

In der Magazine Street im Viertel gab es auch eine schöne Einkaufspassage.

Weil es ab dem späten Nachmittag viel Regnen sollte, machten wir uns hiernach auf den Rückweg. Unser 3$ Ticket galt zum Glück auch für das Street Car, also die örtliche Straßenbahn. Damit ging es dann zurück ins French Quartier.

Und bevor der Regen richtig anfing machten wir Halt in einer Pizzeria und dann gab es Pizza auf dem Zimmer während der Regen draußen prasselte.

The Associated Press: 22 attorneys general oppose 3M settlement over water systems contamination with 'forever chemicals'

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Twenty-two attorneys general urged a federal court Wednesday to reject a proposed $10.3 billion settlement over contamination of U.S. public drinking water systems with potentially dangerous chemicals, saying it lets manufacturer 3M Co. off too easily.

The deal announced in June doesn’t give individual water suppliers enough time to determine how much money they would get and whether it would cover their costs of removing the compounds known collectively as PFAS, said the officials with 19 states, Washington, D.C., and two territories. In some cases the agreement could shift liability from the company to providers, they said.

“While I appreciate the effort that went into it, the proposed settlement in its current form does not adequately account for the pernicious damage that 3M has done in so many of our communities,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta, leader of the multistate coalition.

3M spokesman Sean Lynch said the agreement “will benefit U.S.-based public water systems nationwide that provide drinking water to a vast majority of Americans” without further litigation.

“It is not unusual for there to be objections regarding significant settlement agreements,” Lynch said. “We will continue to work cooperatively to address questions about the terms of the resolution.”

The company, based in St. Paul, Minnesota, manufactures per- and polyfluorinated substances — a broad class of chemicals used in nonstick, water- and grease-resistant products such as clothing and cookware, as well as some firefighting foams.

Described as “forever chemicals” because they don’t degrade naturally in the environment, PFAS have been linked to a variety of health problems, including liver and immune-system damage and some cancers.

3M has said it plans to stop making them by the end of 2025.

Some 300 communities have sued 3M and other companies over water pollution from the compounds. A number of states, airports, firefighter training facilities and private well owners also have pending cases.

They have been consolidated in U.S. District Court in Charleston, South Carolina, where the proposed settlement was filed last month.

Although the company put its value at $10.3 billion, an attorney for the water providers said it could reach as high as $12.5 billion, depending on how many detect PFAS during testing the Environmental Protection Agency has ordered over the next three years.

The law firm representing the water providers did not immediately respond Wednesday to messages seeking comment.

EPA in March proposed strict limits on two common types, PFOA and PFOS, and said it wanted to regulate four others.

In addition to California, states urging Judge Richard Gergel to reject the deal included Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Wisconsin. Also opposed were Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands.

In a court filing, the attorneys general said it would force nearly all public water providers nationwide to participate unless they withdraw individually — even those that haven’t filed suits or tested for PFAS.

“Troublingly, they would have to make their opt-out decisions without knowing how much they would actually receive and, in many cases, before knowing the extent of contamination in their water supplies and the cost of remediating it,” the officials said in a statement.

A provision in the proposed deal would shift liability from 3M to water suppliers that don’t opt out, the statement said. That could enable the company to seek compensation from providers if sued over cancer or other illnesses in PFAS-affected communities, it said.

“As such, the proposed settlement is worth far less than the advertised $10.5 billion to $12.5 billion,” the attorneys general said.

The attorneys general did not take a position on a separate $1.18 billion deal to resolve PFAS complaints against DuPont de Nemours Inc. and spinoffs Chemours Co. and Corteva Inc.

22.10.2023 - Herbst in Santa Fe

Nach unserer New York Reise kehrte doch wieder Normalität und vor allem Herbst ein.

Mit meiner Gastfamilie war ich Kürbisse aussuchen und Wein stampfen.

Dann gab es noch das absolute Highlight in New Mexico: Die Balloon Fiesta. Um 4.30 Uhr ging es aus dem Bett. Mit einem Kaffee in der Hand und dick angezogen, machten wir uns auf den Weg nach Albuquerque. Dort beobachteten wir hunderte Heißluftballons beim Starten und Landen. Was ein Spektakel, da hat sich das frühe aufstehen gelohnt!

Dann habe ich noch die ersten 4.000hm (Leak Peak) bestiegen. Obwohl wir schon einige Monate hier sind, habe ich immer noch mit der Höhe zu kämpfen. Das hat mich aber nicht von der Wanderung abgehalten. Wie ein Michelin-Männchen. Mit 2 Jacken und Mützen, weil es auf dem Berg doch ziemlich kalt war, ging es los. Nachdem wir die Wanderung gemeistert haben, genossen wir abends dann ein Feierabend Bier. Nach den Wanderungen hier bin ich immer sehr platt, was vermutlich auch mit der Höhe zusammenhängt, ging es dann nur noch ins Bett.

Am nächsten Tag startete mein History of Spices Kurs. Über Gewürzgeschichte habe ich zwar nicht so viel gelernt, kann jetzt aber schöne Grillmarks zaubern, ein Kaninchen zerlegen und weiß, dass 4lb Salz nicht zu viel sind, um Shrimps drauf zu garen. Der Kurs geht zwar 6h, aber das ist bis jetzt der Kurs, der mir mit Abstand am meisten Spaß bereitet, auch wenn es etwas suboptimal ist, wenn man kein Fleisch isst...

top 5 live aus berlin moments 🚨

1. tills boogie board in heirate mich. yes I love the performances where he did the entire song crawling around the stage on his knees, but I'm aware that absolutely fucks your knees, but it's his song, he can just? change the choreography? but he decided to cry and pout and scoot away on a boogie board instead

2. buck dich cut in 1998 release but readded for later releases!!!! I see why they cut it now since, on top of the usual performance, they were still using milk at the time and it was extra thick and sticky and yucky disgusting when he sprayed all over the camera and his face 😖 and then he just ?? kept it on his face?? and the next song was ENGEL??

3. wilder wein mariachi giant sombreros??? who's fuckin idea was that LMAO. viva la mexico

4. du hast was still fresh and hot off the griddle and till "dialing" the synth notes on the phone before it exploded into confetti was SO good. actually the laichzeit confetti cannon was also amazing and I was gonna say "why don't they do this anymore" when they literally have the puppe/pussy confetti but. idk it's different when till is Holding the cannon somehow

5. everyone's makeup looks SO GOOD but specifically rzk, paul, and schneider. like they don't look male or female, they look like androids specifically synthesized in a lab to be the Perfect gender. reise reise / lifad eras might be the peak rammstein looks but there's literally something so different and special and important about sehnsucht silver

Hiii <3 folgendes:

haaaiiiiii

voll gerne würde ich deutsche gebärden lernen, habe aber momentan leider nicht die zeit eine weitere sache zu machen 😭 steht aber 100 pro auf der to do list. des weiteren klingt polnisch ganz cool??? ehrlich gesagt habe ich noch nicht sehr viel ahnung von der sprachvielfalt der welt, da gibt es garantiert noch mehr, die ich cool finden würde, würde ich mich mal richtig damit auseinandersetzen (: oh außerdem: iwie wär das cool, würde ich in einer umgebung leben, die eine mundart hat, tu ich aber nicht (<- langweiliger ostniedersachse)

in der schule habe ich deutsch gelernt, logisch, aber auch englisch und französisch. war sogar ganz gut in französisch, aber mochte die lehrer gar nicht DX halbes jahr hatte ich auch spanisch für nen austausch nach mexico, kann davon aber nix mehr LOL andere sprachen spreche ich leider nicht :(

schönste sprache kann ich gar nicht einsortieren. ganz sicher nicht französisch und auch ganz sicherlich nicht DEUTSCH.

funniest word ist auf jeden knilch. dicht gefolgt von erbärmlich. knilch klingt wie etwas, was ein neanderthaler mal gesagt hat (gnurschk), während erbärmlich so widerwärtig hinterfotzig überlegen klingt, es ist zum lachen.

somehow wurde das hier eine dissertation - es tut mir leid. ps: ja, bei uns gibt's butterbrezn am schulkiosk. UND käsebrezn >:) <33

Extrano mi barrio.

Pienso en las noches que volvia temprano de trabajar en el bar, cruzaba la avenida 22 de Febrero (toushe) y rezaba para que no hubiera ningun vato castroso drogandose en el callejon, solo queria llegar a casa tranquila. Cuando me daban buena propina pasaba antes por el expendio de pan y compraba una concha, una dona o un bolillo para cenar, a veces me encontraba en pijama a alguna vecina de las que fueron conmigo a la secundaria. El senor del expendio siempre sereno y amable, sorprendente y tranquilizante tener al menos un personaje asi en el barrio.

Paseaba a Alika un par de calles y respiraba la brisna nocturna, ibamos esquivando perros callejeros y algunas veces borrachos del rumbo. Otras veces los llegue a perseguir yo.

Mis dias mas grises los acompane con gorditas de la 22. Cualquier tipica manana de resaca horrible, nulas ganas de vivir, cero esperanza de algun dia tener calidad de vida, nulas aspiraciones de mejorar cualquier aspecto de mi existencia: las gorditas estaban ahi para mi. De papa, frijol o mezcladas y una sangria bien fria, su salsita verde y harto limon, cebolla y cilantro, Dios bendiga tan preciado desayuno/comida/almuerzo, porque era buena costumbre despertar al medio dia y asi ahorrarme una comida.

Los viernes que tenia tiempo y dinero dandome un capricho de ir a encargar quesadillas a la senora de Matias Romero, esperar sentada mirando la novela del 7 mientras ella y su ayudante hacen magia con aceite reutilizado, masa fresca y champinones con epazote. O los antojitos de Lerdo, otro suculento manjar de fin de semana donde las senoras eran bastante carismaticas.

Me acuerdo la temporada entre 2014 y 2015 que abrieron un par de negocios de miches los fines de semana, chulada llegar del trabajo recien cobrando y gastarme merecidos 70 pesos en un vaso azul de litro de Corona, relleno de Leon o Vicky con su respectivo limoncito, sal y escarche de Miguelito de mora azul o de sandia. Un dia casual yendo en pijama a comprar a la Comer de Plaza Azcapo encontrarme justo entrar a Brother Culture, eminencia del Roots, traido al barrio por el vecino Booba, musico y organizador de eventos de reggae en Mexico.

Como no voy a querer a mi barrio si habia tremendos personajes, si albergo importantes suceso en la historia de Mexico y el arte. Cuna de Jose Jose, el primer evento de Sonido la Changa, parada importante de los aztecas antes de formar Tenochtitlan, reinado poderosisimo la bella Azcapotzalco, sede de la ultima batalla por la Independencia.

En fin, dejare para una segunda parte lo que extrano de mi barrio, aparte de las fritangas, la brisa nocturna y los encuentros inesperados.

Verlorene Freunde

Vor ein paar Tagen traf ich einen alten Freund zu einem Spaziergang. Wir haben uns vor vielen Jahren an dem Geburtstagsfest einer Mitstudentin kennengelernt, mit der ihn eine Liebschaft und mich eine Freundschaft verband. Mittlerweile ist er mit einer anderen Frau verheiratet und ich bin nicht mehr mit ihr befreundet.

Das Geburtstagsfest war sehr seltsam, die betreffende Mitstudentin genoss etwas zu offensichtlich, im Mittelpunkt zu stehen, und weil wir beide uns nicht wohlfühlten, setzten wir uns nebeneinander und verstanden uns prächtig. Bald darauf trafen wir uns zu zweit zu einem Kaffee. Er schlug vor, spontan ein kleines Segelboot zu mieten und auf dem Zürichsee herumzufahren. Das taten wir dann, mein erstes Mal auf einem Segelboot, irgendwann sprang ich ins Wasser, und so blieb unsere Freundschaft, leicht, mit viel Sommer.

Ungefähr ein Jahr, nachdem wir uns kennengelernt hatten, zog er der Arbeit wegen in die USA. Dort lernte er eine Frau kennen, die bald schwanger war und sie heirateten mitten im Lockdown des Frühjahrs 2020 im Central Park in New York mit Trauzeugen und einem Beamten unter freiem Himmel.

Nun sind sie in die Schweiz gekommen, um ihre Hochzeit hier nachzufeiern. Sie haben all ihre Verwandten und Freunde in eine Hütte eingeladen, die in den Voralpen liegt (eine Art ausgedehnte Agglo mit steilen Hängen zu allen Seiten). Jedenfalls werden sie nun gemeinsam mit vielen Menschen drei Tage in dieser Hütte verbringen, man wird gemeinsam kochen und wandern und Spiele spielen, und alle Kinder und Haustiere und überhaupt alle sind willkommen und alles ist geplant und für alle gibt es Aktivitäten und auch einen Plan für die nötigen Haushalts- und Kocharbeiten, damit alle mithelfen.

Ich finde das ganz furchtbar. Wenn ich die Hochzeitswebsite durchschaue, auf der es einen Reiter "our story" gibt, unter dem man nachlesen kann, wie sich das Paar kennengelernt hat, und auch einen Reiter "photos" mit Bildern von den beiden beim Wandern und Küssen, wird mir schlecht. Ich schäme mich dafür, wieso freue ich mich nicht über diese Art von Glück?

Früher fanden wir das gemeinsam furchtbar. Ich weiss noch, wie er mir erzählte, dass nun sein Bruder heiraten würde und er deswegen nach Mexico fliegen müsste, wo alle Hochzeitsgäste gemeinsam Whale Watching machen würden, weil das Paar Wale so liebe, und wie darüber sprachen, ob eine solche Zelebrierung der Paarbeziehung auch gefährlich sei, weil niemals die hohen Erwartungen einlösend, weil das kein einzelner Mensch für einen anderen kann. Deswegen gäbe es ja auch Freunde. Für die sollte man auch solche Feste machen.

"our story"

Es ist nicht bloss, dass er diese Dinge jetzt tut, von denen ich dachte, wir würden sie beide mögen, sondern dass ich mich ihm gar nicht mehr darüber sprechen kann. Es ist, als gäbe es keine Wiese mehr, auf der wir gemeinsam liegen, sondern nur seinen Garten und meinen und über den Zaun rufen wir uns zu, was so bei uns läuft.

Als wir uns trafen, erschien er mir kleiner, als er gewesen war, irgendwie dünner. Er trug Gel in seinen schwarzen Locken, was er früher verabscheut hatte, und ging mit den Füssen immer ein wenig einwärts gedreht. Während wir spazierten, erzählte er von seinem Leben: Seine Frau und er arbeiten beide Vollzeit in Berufen, die mehr als Vollzeit erfordern (Assistenzprofessor, Assistenzärztin), noch dazu in Städten, die knapp drei Stunden auseinanderliegen, sodass er nun immer hin und her fährt, weil er die Hauptsorge für das Kind trägt. Er hätte für alles zu wenig Zeit, sagte er, vor allem für seine Tochter, die ihm das grösste Glück sei, er würde alles für sie tun. „Schade, ist sie jetzt nicht dabei, dann würdest Du mich sofort verstehen, also wenn Du sie sehen würdest“, sagte er zu mir. Nein, nein, ich verstünde ihn schon jetzt, antwortete ich, aber ob er denn glaube, dass das überhaupt aufgehen könne? Diese Bedingungen, fragte ich, und fügte hinzu: "Verzeih die ketzerische Frage." Natürlich würde das gehen, sagte er unterschwellig wütend, aber noch mit weissem Lächeln, er müsse nur lernen, richtig zu priorisieren, seine Zeit zu optimieren, die richtigen Fenster für die Tätigkeiten zu finden und sich dann voll konzentrieren, er müsse nur produktiver sein, er könne das schaffen.

"Are you breathing just a litte and calling it a life"

Eine Zeile aus einem Gedicht, das ich ihm geschickt hatte, er verstand nicht, und ich wollte auch ihn nicht verstehen.
