HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It is the time of year when we are and show our best... For me it is a time of transit, a time of confusion and a time of gathering myself and my thoughts about what my life has been for the past 6 months (basically) and where I want it to go from now on... The last one is gonna take me more than just one night to figure it out!

Tonight everybody will be happy and joyous, and I... I don't know how I will feel. Horny is one option... although I don't have anyone to ease it with! That doesn't mean I wont feel it... but, a one night stand wont do it either.

Alone! that is not an option, it is the way it will be! My brother is going early to bed. He's got a date with his biker buddies early tomorrow. My niece is going through a break up with her fiancee and she is not going to do a thing... she is gonna be with him! IDIOT! Therefore, I am on my own... as usual!

Tonight I will fly solo... again! But, in the end, that is how I think I like it!

Happy New Year to everyone and best wishes for the whole 2009!

How I got to live in Barcelona City

Where to begin... Remember my beautiful roommate Laura???? Turned out to be my most horrible nightmare!

The fucking Brazilian started acting crazy towards me, right after she found out I was better at friendship than she is. I'll explain myself... Do you remember Beto? Her summer long boyfriend? Well, in reality, they weren't together. But that I didn't know until much later, when one day after the movies he told me himself. They had a brief affair, and right after that she dismissed him under the pretext that he was not what she wanted... She was after a much bigger fish! As I found out, she was after a rich Spaniard we had met one summer night at a restaurant. The guy in question was the owner of several hospitality businesses around Sabadell and vicinity. But while entertaining him, she also was secretly entertaining poor old Beto! I had no idea! Of course, in my ignorance, and since I was doing no harm, I told her all about my incipient friendship with the Carioca. She got jealous! And from that point on, she started making my life miserable!

At the beginning I didn't make much of it. I just couldn't believe it! Even though, it took no time at all to realize what was going on, it was hard for me to acknowledge the truth... It simply seemed too stupid to be true! But I guess not everybody is the same, and still are brainless people in this world with nothing more than hair in their heads!

At first, it was little things she did to annoy me. The silent treatment was one of them. Messages failed to reach me. My mail, mysteriously returned to sender, while I increasingly felt harassed with her “soap opera like” little dramas! She started imitating the way I dressed, bought my same outfits, just to find out later that did little or nothing for her. Her vulgarity was patent, such a sad view! Things around the house changed places or magically disappeared before my eyes. When her meal ticket gave me a book as a present and started to enjoy the intelligent conversation she failed to provide him, her attacks got bolder! To the point she indisposed me with Manolo, the landlord, making me the scape goat he later used to throw me, and the other two roommates that later joined us, out! She also made their life miserable and that's when I realized it wasn't just me, nor my friendship with Beto or Jose, the reason for her inexplicable behavior. As a matter of fact, nothing, except sheer envy, can explain her contempt toward Tiphanie, Mary or me!

Just when I thought things were going to get better, that numbers were in our favor (3 to 1) it's when all hell broke loose and out of the blue, the three of us got hit... thrown out of the house without any explanation whatsoever! Luckily for us, and for some time now, I had been looking for a new place in Barcelona, and just a couple of days before it happened I stroke gold. Tiphanie and I had already talked about moving out together... Timing couldn't have been better! Still, it took us completely unprepared, since we had to rush and push our move, three whole weeks ahead of schedule!

I simply had to activate the emergency network and find refuge for us in a hurry! We are currently staying at friends. Tiphanie is at Javi's, and I am at Carlos, my niece's neighbors. It is just a temporary arrangement. Just until December 15, when we will move to a little adorable apartment I found in the neighborhood. No more Sabadell or commuting for us! We are finally living smack in the middle of Barcelona! As for Mary, she moved to another place in Sabadell. After all, she has all her family living there. One good thing though out of all this shit... the three of us have grown closer, and our friendship got stronger since! The kind of friendship the fucking Brazilian will never know!

Just Arrived! LATE NIGHT NEWS BULLETIN

Here is my good neighbor. I left his face out to protect his identity... After all, I am not sure what he did is legal at all!


You might think I am a little, or a lot, crazy... besides the point... The thing is I'VE JUST GOT INTERNET!!! HURRAY!!!

Haven't finished with my moving, but I am at least connected! And all thanks to my neighbor who knows how to steel internet signals from other neighbors... lol Thank G for WiFi!

Tomorrow I will start as usual... will tell you all that happened these past couple of months... which, BTW, right now seem like a bad acid trip.

My life without the Net... or...No life at all! ... That is the question!

It has been more than a month now... To tell you the truth, I never thought I could survive not even a day without my beloved connection to the Net... But here I am, a month or so later, and still without it!!!!

Writing these few words in a public computer, a "Locutorio" as they call such places here in Spain!

Vaya mierda! or Fuck the Motherfuckers that haven´t done shit with my Internet connection!!!!! I know, I know, we are in the middle of a crisis and in the middle of the Christmas season altogether... But, isn´t that an oxymoron???? WHATEVER!

I have lots of things to tell you, lots of stories to share, but this fuckers from Orange haven´t read my letter to Santa, nor I think they will read the one I just completed for the 3 Wise Men...

Such is my life, miserable life!!! without the Net!
Talk to you soon.... Hope it is soon anyways!!!
