| an explanation |
[Mar. 22nd, 2005|12:51 pm] |
well hello all....i know it has been awhile and i have recieved countless of messages throught the net and waht not and everyone is wondering where i am
well i dont have much time to explain ...and the story is too damn long so for my sake...and the sake of will the thrill collins....this will be short
some of u know what happened to my money situation....others of you dont......if u do u do and if u dont...well i will get back to you on that. Well what started off as one problem grew to amount to a shitload of problems....examples of these problems : accounts were frozen, billswerent bering paid....and if that wasnt bad enough.....i fucking ended up losing money.........and then...i have the swiss gov. writing to me saying my papers arent going through...and slighty hinting at me that they would take matters into their own hands if i didnt get this shit to them. becasue u have to have insurance for a permit to stay here...and some other shit and blah blah blah blah. (this could mean anything from fines to deportation and not being welcomed back for a lllllllloooooonnnnnnnggggggggg time....if ever) and god knows what else......currently i am still working on that problem as well as the problems with my acounts overseas and what not. So basically....i was in this country for a month as an illegal...i got a permit...though not all the requirements had been done...and blah blah blah. Also i was in the process of getting a work holiday visa for australia and New Zeland ....however its hard to do it when u r residing in a counttry which u dont have a possport of. So that plan is currently i nthe process of going to hell. So yea wasnt sure how many of u heard about that plan....but i waswanting to go to australia and NZ from switzerland and stay there for a bit....as work is not hard to find there....and its a hell of an experience...so...that plan will go on hold now...if anyone would like to join me in those adventures lemme know i have no problem if someone wants to backpack with me through the oceanic region...and perhaps maybe southeast asia. I still have to do more research on that. So the trimester ends thursday.....and i thought about doing another one....but instead i decided not to. one of my cousins suggested i goto kreuzlingen (sp) which is on the border with germany.......he said maybe i should try working there ...or at least check it out if i was interested....and i kinda am...but this would require me to learn swiss-german...well...at least high german....well lets see......if i dont figure anything else out i will be back in america soon. dont know what i will do when i get there....maybe just end up leaving for another coutnry again...u never know. Anyways.....dunno what else to say....Collins....lets make a movie....
Hutch....sorry u didnt win the bit...i didnt actually en up in prison....i was only slightly threatened. oh yea .....is anyone interested in a bottle of absinthe....the green fairy is now legal in switzerland. :) of course the shit is expensive.....and drink too much and u will go crazy...or die....and when i say too much...it really oesnt take alot...well i guessi am off...i am still writing entries but havent had the chance to post them. uuuummm.....dont know what else to say. I hope all the pregnancies are going well. Hope the relationships are as well. Hope that school or whatever is going well....and yea......
i love you all.....(not like that though...get those sick and twisted thoughts out of ur head)
adieu |

[Jan. 22nd, 2005|02:33 pm] |
in typing this long entry i fogot to metnion about Mako and ....well i dunno how to spell the other girl's name but u pronounce it like the word now Anyways the 2 are japanese and they asked me and this other dude named michael so show them around lausanne we hung out it was fun...the spoke english pretty well...so i served as a french english translator....well ....i guess here is a logn entry covering liek the past month....at least the good stuff of the past month (or the not so good)
well here it is
January 19
lausanne vaud
my place
403pm
wel a lot has happened since my last update. its been over amonth.....I had written an entry on the 11th at 530 in the morining at hotel crystal because that is where we were put up for a night when the fire happened. So i guess i have a lot to cvoer. Really i will just cover the important shit....which is really the thingsd i rmemebr and or dont wanna forget. Maybe i am typing these things more form than anyone else (no offense) but whatever. So i guess lets begin with thursday the 9th i believe it was we took our exam....it was kinda hard so afterwards the whole class agreed on going out to a bar called Movida. So we all met up at movida..which is like downtown so not too far off for me. So i actually comb my hair for once in a blue moon...and i go...i get this and everyone was shocked...they were like completely trippin balls about it. Hell michelle had to figure out who i was. So in the end the only person that didnt come was Lola....apparently she got sick and couldnt come. Oh well. Valentyna brought her fiancee. He's significantly older but whatever its okay. So we talked and we drank and we made our jokes and made comments about each other....it was funny. We took pictures...or at least they took many while at Movida...hopefully i cna get copies from some of them. I suggested that we all take a tequilla shot. Of course not everyone went with it....but for example...Bodi and Michelle were ready to do it with me. We tried to convinceother people andsince Izabella was sitting right next to me i told her she had to do it...and finaly she was like okay. so we ordered and we got a lemon and salt ready. We kinda had to explain it a bit to izabella becasaue she had never done it before. And we explained what had ot be done. So we took our shot and looked at my lemon...and was like...i dont need this...this tequilla is weak as hell. So i offered my lemon to anyone and izabella took it right away she was like 'that is stgrong' and i looked at her and i said this is nothing. Michelle thought it was weak as well....i mean not really really weak but just not strong. Meanwhile bodi is agreeing with izabella and me and michelle are like ...'easterners' ...So yea anyways slowly but surely people began to leave. Valentyna being the first being as howshe lives the farthest. Michelle had ot leave so she could catch a train to vevey. Anyways a couple of us left movida together and we talked about going to a club. Somehow what started of as like 6 or 7 of us going to loft ended with only 3. Izabella was gonna go but she changed her mind and went back to her place...kursad did the same and i cant rmemebr who else. Anyways in the end its me George the hungarian and Atekin i believe is how u spell it...one of the turks. so we go to this club called loft and george meets up with one of his firends there and i meet 2 women one from Colombia and the other one from Mexico....it was interesting. We talked and danced and drank etc etc etc. I told them if they could try to get Atekin out here....all he was doing was leaning on a pilar and smoking. He is a really shy guy. Anyways they couldnt get him out on the dacnefloor. And not too long after that he had to run. So me and george were elft...but there was his friend and the 2 hispanic chicks so we all talekd and drank and what not. And then afer awhile george was tired so he left and it was jsut us 4. Well basically i walk in to my place at like 5 am and i got class in 3 hrs so i am only gonna get 2 hrs of sleep. Well 3 hrs later i am in clqss...early...not like some of the others...however they are ususally late anyways...but then again so am i. Wel we got our tests resutls....i didnt passwith flying colors....then again geting 9's is like fucking not possible...i dunno why they even bother to have 9's if they dont give them out. Anyways ....well so that went well. Afterwards at like 1030 the teacher took usall to a place and we all sat down and ate and talked. After about and hour and half people started to leave. They had trains to catch and what not. In the end the last three people were Me Lola (spain) and Valentyna (ukraine) Well we went to the market otgether and got things and talked some more and then valentyna had to go to catch her tain so lola invited me back to her place. So we went bvack to her place and talked and she told me how she has a bf and it was funny casue everyone in that class was convinced that george and lola would (or had already) hook up. So i stayed there for awhile waiting for David to call me becasue he had told me we were going to go to laysin andthen come back to lausanne to party. He finally did call like 15 mins before the train was to leave...and i had no clue how far i was from the station so i told lola good bye...since i knew she was moving away from switzelrand on the following wed. And since iwas leaving monday for america i wouldnt see her again. So yeal anyways i hauled ass through the streets of lausanne not having afucking clue where the hell the damn train station was . Bacially i covered lie 2 km in about 10 mins. So i meet up with david on the train and we talk and he tells me that something has come up. And he told me basically....making back to lausanne couldnt happen. So i was like fuck.....and trains from laysin would take me to gastaad so i could get back to lausanne. That is one hell of a long way so yea....bad idea. So i thnk abotu instead going to chateau doex since the train is cutting through montreux. I thought about this becasue i saw sandrine on the train and tlaked ot her real fast. And she told me i should come and was like...maybe. Instead i get off at vevey and hang around there for awhile and then go back to lausanne. I dunno why i did that...but i did. Well anyways so lets do a quick review....i could have stayed with lola becasue she asked me to stay and i said i was gonan chill with a friend. Then i havea chance to go to chateau doex...but dont. So i get back to my place and i see oliver and he asks me if id like to go to lapin vert tonight (its a bar) and i tod him maybe. Well in the end i didnt go. ...i dont remmebr why...but i didnt go. Well that night Rosina Sandra and I are in Jean Baptist's room and we plan a ski and snow board trip and we are up till like midnight doing this and we plan on leaving with Jeta as well at 7 am and i say....yea right i doubt i cna wake up at 6am for all this. And then rosina reminded me thatthe last time i said this i woke up befroe 6 am...it was the day i had to go to control de habitants. So i am like we we will see tomorrow. Anyways so then sandra goes to crash out and i go back to my room to watch south park movie in frnech...rosina and jean baptiste join me for a bit but after awhile they each retired and crash out. So i stay up and watch the movie it ends at 130 am.....i change and get in my bed. From here on....all hell breaks loose. For some odd reason i decided to pray before going to sleep. Now some of u know my beef with religion....so its not a normal thing for me Well when i am done i close my eyes. Then i hear jeta.....it sounds like she is speaking louldy ....as if trying to scream but unable to.....I step out of my room and see white smoke all on my floor....and at first i thought somone was cooking then i though...wait...who the fuck cooks at 130 am. Then it didnt even take a second to click....the fisrt thing out of my mouth is oh shit That tneds ot be the 1st thing out of my mouth when something seriosuly bad is going to happen. Whne i got in my car wreck with reyan tommy and charlie and some other dude, the first thing out of my mouth befroe we wrecked was...oh shit. So anwyas here i am and realize there is afire....i have no clue where the fuck it is, so i am kinda trippin balls...but right away i start knockin on as many doors as i cna really loudly and fucking start screamin in english spanish and french FIRE! I banged on as many doors as i could fucking making ads much nosie as i cna. (I would later be told that people on the top floor heard me and were able to wake up) The white smoke then turns black and what do u know...i cnat see shit and i cnaty breath worth a damn. However rosina hadnt woekn up and i know she is in her room...finally she opens the door all tired and doesnt know whats going on....i jsut grab her hand we run with her. I ran towards the stairs with her and touch the railing....it is hot as hell and understood that the fire was below and it had already engulfedthe stairs...the only way in or out in the building...other than the elevator. I dare not let go of her hand knowing that if i did...we would be lost in there.... i try to figure out what to do next. (whichwas really like a 2 second reflection period) Ican hear her not doing to well...coughing and waht not...and i couldnt breath anymore...so quickly i decided to run back down the hall with her ot the very end checking for any unlocked door...i didnt find one... however i quickly found the window threw it open and stuck her head out the window....i got my head out and over her and we got some fresh air....but the smoke was overwhelming...we couldnt keep our heads out the window forever. So i got her ot hold her breath and i said this in english not rememebring she doesnt know much...but i guess she understood that...especially since i took a big breath which she noticed and then grabbed her hand again. From the window i go directly to my room knowing that my door was unlocked...and it was the cloest room i open my door throw her in my room...run in and close it. I open the balcony door then I goto the sink and do like this half gag/puke and all this black ash comes out...it wassick. For the rest of that day and then next 2 i would be spitting and sneezing out ash. Finally after getting most of it out of me smoke started to enter my room....i began to get my clothes and covers and i covered the door where the smoke was comming in. I threw a bit of water on the them and me and rosina sat on the balcony and we tried ot figure out waht was going on...like where exaclty wss the fire. Some guy on a bike came by the street and i screamed from my balcony to call the police....this guy just looked at me and and at the smoke going out of everywhere and continued ot bike on. We told him in french german swiss german spanish english and its like heddidnt do anything he stopped looked and thencontined biking as if nothing was hapening. So more and more people were waking up and were able to escape or at least make it to their balcony. The chilean dude on the top floor and i kept yelling back and forth so we could figure out what was going on......he was ready to jump casue everything was funneling into his room and he couldnt breath...he wanted to try and jump down a floor and get on the balcony below. Rosinawas worriedabout sandra since at night befroe she goes to sleep she is on meds so we wondered if she was even awake or anything like that. So nobody knew about several people and that was casue enough for worry. And then we have Majete. This dude lives down the hall from me....he's in his 30's anyways he has this like hate (maybe its a phobia for all i know) for smoke. Be it from candle ciggarettes or burning buildings so he came out and didnt have a clue what was going on...me and rosinamade our way over to majete's balcony and we toldd hjim there was afire and he completely freaked out. I mean he was tripping complete and utter balls...like more than anyone. He was kinda worrying rosina...i was calmed him down and he asked me what were going to do. Any idea came up that we tie our sheets and stuff together and we try to clime downto the morning room place. It was an idea which was good but i dont think the sheets wouldhave done it....we would have needed to use shirts or something better....casue i figured the sheets wouldnt be able ot take the weight...but it wasan option...then low and behold guess what happenes......majete's door starts letting in smoke so i get his shets...and he is freaking out more I grab some of his sheets and am abotu to cover the door and he is like STOP! what are you doing? I explained to him and its like he wouldnt let me....instead he goes tothe sink and jsut turns the water on.....so u know i am thinking this guy is definately not good under pressure....hes not trying ot flood his room or anything....he jsut turns the water on and lets it run. Okay so i figure ....this isnt the best place to beand then his door starts burning....this just reassured my 'this isnt the bestr place to be thought' So I tell the two of them...listen if the fire come raveging through out this whole floor and there is not other option....i think we canjump and make it to the roof of the church next door.....which was humanly possible. I told them it would be an easy thing to do....which maybe was ahlf lie. Also there were to other things to think about...which i didnt mention to them so as not to freak them out....assuming we did make it to the roof of the church....that would still be a 2 floor drop...and we would be landing on a lot of rocks so it is possible that we would break something....2nd...if we didnt jump far enough we would face a 5 story drop. You see...this building is build on a slope though i am on the 3rd floor i would have to deal with the extra 2 floors that are half underground.....so from the blacony its a 5 sotry drop...however across the hall...from there window ...they would only have to deal with a 3 story drop (get it?) Anyways .....with that 5 storydrop...chances of dying would be high. So Majete thought it was a crazy idea in my head i am thinkingabout telling him come to flat out.....if u start seeing the flames in ur room......ur telling me u would rather stay in ur room? Well lucky for us it didnt come to that. 40 firefighters ended up commingand they got people at as fast as possible. Of course they couldnt get to us becasue since we're on the back end...which has a small street...the firefighters couldnt get to us with thier ladders...they gotto the sides and people on the front. People had to jump out of their baloncies ans did roof hopping in oder to escape. It was easier for them since they wereo n the first floor and if was jsut a couple of feet of a drop to the morning room roof. Well the fire was put out....me rosina ans mejete were one of the last people to leave the building. Wegetoutside and they ask us questions and check us al out...me and rosina we putin this like vechicle with about 8 others....i think they were trying to figure out what to do with us....every now and then someone would come by and check out our carbon levels. My ass was freezing cold and feeling like sahit. Its below freezing...and i had my slippers on whichwere now charred and wet...and my sleeping clothes...short and an undershirt. It could have been worse though...i could have been like Jeta was. She sat across from me in this emergency vechicle and all she had one was an oversized white shirt and some underwear. So i guess we were both suffering here. We got blankets and then after a bit someone came over to me and gave me another carbon test becasue i kept spitting out ash and kept haggin....I wasnt as bad as sandra though who was puking out in the middle of the street along with others. What was going on is that since a lot of plastic burned....many of us were posioned from all the burnt plastic we breathed...mix in the ash ...and u feel like shit. Well anwyas i was taken to an ambulance and 2 ems people told me they were gonna take me to the hospital (to CHUV) which is like the cantonal hospital. Anyways one of them left and the other guy was doing some other things to me and i told him in french of course...that i dont have le assurance maladie for this coutry...which is like the health insurance...and i wasnt suree if the ameircan one would cover me. The guy looked at me and asked me to repeat myself...i did and he wasnt sure what to do with me. He continued to do the little things to me i nthe ambulance but when it came time for me to go...he wasnt sure what to do...so he gets his partner and he explains that i dont have the insurance here...however that i really need to go to the hospital...and he treid to pull some strings. His partner wasnt cool with the pulling strings and didnt agree to take me to the hospital and then he said let me be...and he jsut walekd off. Well the dude who was with me ...though that was a dumb idea and he continued to help me out...but he told me he couldnttake me to the hospital...i told him i understood...that it was no big problem. So he tells me..listen...its really important that as soon as u can/...go see a doctor (i told him i was going back to america in 2 days) He told me it was very important, and to be sure to get my lungs checked out. Well with that the guy let me go...and i sat with a blanket. Then i heard one of the workers talk about me and pointed me out and i was afraid they would make me go to the hospital...becasue earlier i had asked if there was a paper i could sign where it says i turned down medical assitance (casue it exists in america) well anwyays there is not...so ifeared they would make me go...so i took off my identity thing that they made all evacuees wear and i handed off to my romanian neighbor alina. She stashed it and i blended in with her and olivier ...who werent in the building at the time...so they werent given a tag. So in the end it all worked out. I was on the last transport out to another hotel where we would saty. its said about 40 people escaped...nobody died (through some miracle) and 10 of us went to the hospital. Its funny...casue one paper says 9....the early edition of Le Matin....which didnt stick around until the end...since they had a deadline to met. So i am figureing they didnt count me..but 24 heures the other swiss paper that is big aroundhere...counted me. Well i didnt sleep well that night....i drank milk and aterto try to clean my system, i did that for a good 2 days. Anyways....so the next day we come back and nobody knows what is goign to happen.Well it was decided that if we wanted to we could stay there. however thatsome people would be relocated to other places....like everyone on the 1st floor. So now jeta lives acorss form me where the swiss italian chick used to lvie. Anyways we;ll many people left. Jean babtiste got another place, judith got another place....i should stop byadn visit her work....see how she is. So the night beforei left...i spent the nigth here..along with some others. My room was great compared to other people's Rosina's room wsnt too bad either. Not much of my interior was bad...my clothes were alright....some black...but wearable. So i cleaned my room.....workers came in and scrubbed walls etc ewtc. We learned that a past inhabitant of this building camein and broke into Macy's room (the druggy african muslim chick i have written about before) and he started the fire tha just left. Security camera showed him comming in and leaving at the time...and he was the only one who could havedon it. So he was arreested charged....and 6 years in prison is his sentence. And prisons here are like hotels....so yea...nothing to serious. So lets see what else...the night before i left to go back to america....i sat in rosina's room and we talked...and she was thankful to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek....nothing to serious anwyas so i left came to america....saw some people.......and christmas day!!!OH MY GOD HRISTMAS DAY....I SW DARKNESS WITH THE VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL ANNA PAQUIN....i know i had already seen the movie before (swince it came out in europe awhile ago and i bootlegged it back i nthe day) but anna is different oon the big screen. So thank you ryan..and suzi. Next day...sunday..I saw Closer with Natalie Portman....*sigh....these moveis were the high point of me going back tamerica.....(no offense to anyone) Everything else kinda sucked....my mom was alright....anwyas i was glad to be back (once again no offense to anyone) And i called my cousin olivier 2 days after gettign back and told him i need to go on a vacation..and i asked him if he was interested....so we thought about going to a nordic country or somewhere east...why? cheap and our money would go a long way. Well after trying out for st petersberg, moscow, kiev, krakow, copenhaggen, and stockholm.....we went for Budapest. So we left jan 2 came back 6th...it was pretty sweet over there. I had fun.....now i cna scratch budpst form lsit of euro cities i need to goto. Nothing too significant happened. Me and oli jsut had a fun time...and we saw some cool things....like the crown jewels. Anways it was a nice relaxing time. So i get back from there and i see rosina for the 1st time in like almsot a month.....she was the same ole goofy quiet punk.....it was nice to see her. Anwyas class started the following monday. My class is smaller (but not by much) since Atequin isnt in the class...and amy is gone...and lola moved away.....So its me kursadad a new chick form peru named magaly...who i have been haning out iwth latey..her name is magaly...george..some chinese chick hwose name i forget....Apple..Bodi...Michlle, Izabella, some cuban chick whopse name i forget....and Valentyna. Well class hard but i think more fun. I like this teacher that we have now better than the last one. I am trying to think if anything significant has happened. Well like 3 days ago....some kid who i dunno too well named david and Sylvester got in a fight.....david basically socked Sly....and it didnt go well...the cops we called and yea everything was fin....or so we though....then later on that night at about 1 am Joel...this asian dude who is a stoner (not the joel who works here) Goes ape shit on david...the 2 had been smoking and drinking and all hell broke loose. David locked himself in a bathroom Joel was so pist he ripped off his clothes and fucking tried to breakthe door down. You could hear it through out the whole buidlimng...liek i get there when it jsut starts and Raph and oliver and michel...this new dude i met who lives down the hall where JB used to live, we're all trying to calm him down...fianlly i go out and search for lillian ...he is liek the other night worker dude who will kcik some ass....i find him and i am like all hell is breaking loose and he heard it and was like/....i'll call the police . I went back up to see what it was and raphael and i then go to the owner's placeo nthe top floor...Jesus is his name. Anyways Raph went off on him becasue jesus is the manager but he does nothing....Rapahel waspsit casue it wasnt the 1st time that happened. I jsut stood there while raphael yelled at him. Jesus was like dont worrythe police are comming,....and raph continued to bite his head off casue when things bad happened he doesnt do anything about the situation...let alone act interested.So aftera bit raph leaes and i twll jesus sorry abotu all this....i was tryingto calm him down...but raph does have a point...its like i tihnk jesus gives a damn about things that go one here. Then again a lot of things seems ot happend here and i guess he is just tired of dealign with them....and if that is the case...mnaybe this isnt the job for him....well watever. Anyways about 9 cops show up with night sticks...this being the 2nd call to the cops that has been made in like 12 hrs. So joel saw them and he calmed down.....aftera bit everything was chill....of course in the time i was gone joel had gone after oliver and had gotten some hits in his face...oliver was ready to fuckin kick joel's ass...which he could....but he knew it was a bad idea. Anwyas when things were mroe calm....of ocurseby this time a lot of people were awake....like rosina....we werei nthe loby place and oliver goes off on lillian saying that he is tired of this shit happening and joel must leave and raph said the same thing...that joel and the other fuck ups have to go...casue this isnt the 1st time it has happened. And then another threat came form the 2 to lillian. They said they would go to the press and tell them all the the things that happen here....which makes me wonder if there is something more that happens here i dont know about. Then i got to thinkingand listening to others talk...and i tlaked with rosina....and i think i found out at least one or 2 things here that go on. Though not illegal (or at least i dont think it is illegal but it should be..) it is something unethical.....i will have to explain it later...i have a train to catch.... |

lausanne vaud
my place
107pm local time
who my last update was liek the day before rory left. so like the 15th of nov....damn i have a lot to refelct on and think about. What the fuck has happened. Well i guess first all i will begin by sayzing ...MADD PROPS TO LAURIE FOR GETTING A LETTER TO ME!!! Speakin of letters i kinda fucked up on something so yea.....forgive me if i am not getting anything out yet. But i will try really hard. Things are starting to get really really busy. Big exam next week....and there is an exam tomorrow. So yea.....i will do what i cna. So i think it was 2 weekends ago i went back to chateau d'oex for like the 1st time in almost a month....I left lausanne saturday and guess who i come across in Montreaux...DAVID!!! i havent seen his ass in awhile and since my phone is a POS i hadnt talked tohim or anything. So we talked forthe train ride to chateau doex. So i saw sis and didlaundry and had great food. Met up with david and took the trains bakc. On the first train heading towards montreux this chick sat behind david and he saw some of her books and he says to me that she's learning english he guesses. She kept looking at us when we would speak english. Especially when i spoke it...since i dont have some european acent. Anyways so we figure she is jsut curious....then her phone goes off and she starts talking in enlglish over her phone. And I listen carefully....and i am like "David...no way that girl is trying to learn english....she has the slang down perfectly" So when she is done i decide to ask her where she is from....i figured she was northern and she didnt look like a swede so i went with canada....guess who was right.....yup that's right me. She Canadian....i think she said she was born in toronto....or near toronto....i cant rmemeb. Anyways her name is charlotte. She goes to school in Montreux but lives in Gastaad. So almost every wekend she takes the train from montreux to gastaad and back. Gastaad is where sister works.....its in the canton of Bern (which speaks german) Other facts about Gastaad: very rich place......famous people are known to visit and even live there. Moving on.....so we talked for the train ride to montreux........also there was a group of like 4 swiss german girls who kept talking about us. Though we didnt know a lot of Berne Deustch we picked up on some words not to mention they kept looking at me and david and pointing at us and when i went to the WC i had to walk by them and they got quiet. Anyways we get to montreux and charlotte leaves and me and david catch the treain to lausanne... on the train from montreux to lausanne we come across a group of swiss gemran girls and david thinks he recognizes one...she sits right across from us and we all start talking. Turns out this chick studies frnech is lausanne just like me. Anwyas david got her number and i stood with david and waited for his trian with him to morges....after that i came back to my place and yea...that was it. The week went by...only one thing exciting happened. Wed ...Me JB (jean baptiste) olivier, patrice,rosina, this other frnedch dude who's name i forget, Sandra and jeta (and i tink that is it...but i could be wrong) go to this bar in pully (pronounced like buoy (sp?) only with a P.....anyways) The idea was to do karoke....we get there meet up with Claudia and other people. After while Jesus and Vitali join us. Jesus is like the guy who is like the manager iguess u could say of this place. Vitali is the nightdude.....kinda like security dude....he is definately not somone i would wanna fuck with....i will be sure to share a story later...if i rmemebr. Anyways so we have a drink...or 2 and do some karoke. Oli, JB, and the other frnech dude sang a song together.....i was the only person who sang a song alone. Take some time to guess what songi did. They had songs in italian, french, english, and spanish......i had to debate awhile as to which on i woulddo...i had it down to 2 songs. One in spanish and one in english..........so take some time to guess.......the spanish song isnt to hard to figure out........(everyone and there mother knows this song) ...if u guessed la bamba...u have a good head on ur shoulders.....as for the english song ...it was Kiss........casue Prince is bad ass. So i ended up choosing PRince and fuckin wnet with it. See the reason i evewn found this song was that Rosina pointed it out to ..... So anyways.....I burst out into that song and got into it. Everyone when they sang a song they just stodd there and didnt move much or anything. I fucking danced all over that stage....then made my was off the stage to some random table and danced some more...shook my ass tosome random person...and jumped back up on stage and got my foot on someone's chair ahd it was great......So when the song is over everyone wnet fucking nuts clapping and screaming....and mind u this isnt exactly a small bar. The dude working the music was very content with my performance and everything. So i get back to the table So we left shortly after that....everyone was looking at me....and smiling and the dude working the music gave me a salute and everything. So we walk out and olivier looks at me and says "tu est fou" (you're crazy) so i said "non, je suis americain" (no, i'm american) and everyone burst out laughing. It was great. So by the next day everyone had heard about this and some people would try singing the song and do the moves i did. It was funny. So anyways......Nothing else special happened really....... Anwyays so friday came and i went to chateau doex.....lets see what happened during the weekend. Iguess i got there late friday so didnt do too much firday night jsut hung out with david. Saturday i wake up....felt like shit....it was the 3rd day i had been sick (after getting back to my place on wed i noticed myself getitng a bit sick) Anways so i get up on saturday and see caroline and she tells me that sandrine is making some thai food for friend tonight and thati wasi nvited if i was interested. So hell yea i went....it was me caroline snadrine Sabrina, (bartender for the pub) and chondrika....we meet at the pub and there was this dude name Thomas....(say that like a frnech person and u got the name right) anyways he is from Brussels but now lives in Letvia.....fuck me i dunno how to spell it anyways its like really really really close to chateau d'oex Some small palce. Anways so we go to sandrine's house. as we were walking some car drove by and honked and it scared the shit out of me..and i wasl ike who the fuck was that.....turns out it was Sandrine's parents leaving the house. So anwyas we get there and then 2 other people join us...Some chick who's name i am now forgetting....and this other girl who i had met before named Charlotte (a different Charlotte) I also recognized her as one of the barender's at Le Zenith....on of the clubs in chateau d'oex. So anwyas we have this great dinner.....meat...steamed rice....red wine.....etc. etc. Anyways so we talk about anything and everything. Thomas was i think definately into caroline and sandrine........maybe its jsut me...but i thought so. .......anwyas moving on from that........So after allthat at sandrine's we went to the Zenith.....we were there till almost closing time. During that time i met this girl from Thailand named Sara who is 24 years old. Anways we tlaked for a bit and what not. She doesn't speak too much french ....yet she is lviing with a friend in chateau doex for a bit. Has been for awhile i think Anwyas we spoke in english and while we were dancing some dude saw me and asked me if i knew besnik...and i was like yea. I guess the dude recognized me from somewhere, anyway he asked me about the girl and if i think i could get her to dance with this due's firend...so i said iwill see....but she doesn't speak french...and he is like...can u translate...so i said i would try Okay so Sara me and the 2 other dues...who are yugos....or albanian...fuck me i dunno...somewhere around there. Anwyas we all start talking and Sara is not digging this dude.....and she tells me this. by this time sara is kinda thrown....but that is okay. Anways so after awhile the 2 dance but she desnt like it and leaves and goes back to where she was before....across from me. And we talk some more dance some more drink so more...along with everyone else...caroline sandrine thomas...etc. etc. etc. So i get home like 530 or so sleep...sleep through lunch casue iwas still sick and remained in bed. I wasnt sick becasue of the booze...in fact i didnt drink too much really. But i was still sick from wed/thurs. Anwaysso i wake up.....blah blah blah...nothing special really happens ....take the same train as i didthe weekend before and low and behold guess who i see......Canadian Charlotte! so i sit with her and we tlak through ouit the whole train ride. I am not sure about how hwer school works...but we established that she is like the equivalent of a junior in the americna system.........but that could be wrong...casue the school..(whoich operates under british education system) the HS equivalent last 5 yrs.....so i dunno if they starts earlier than us...or finish later than us. Either way i was checking out her classes...she's taking physics chem....some fucked up hard ass math.....its insane......i shit a brick. Anways so we tlaked on the way to montreux. David wasnt with me this time....he had sht to do. Anwyas so yea we talk some ore.....and at montreux we part ways.... Oh yea i forgot to mention. Someitme during the weekend i was tlakign to helene about my week and i had mentioned canadian charlotte and helene asks me to describe her....turns out helene knows who she is. She used to teach charlotte at the JFK school in Gastaad...so this makes the 2nd pupil of sis's that i have met. So yea...anwyas from montreux to lausanne i see the same swiss german chick that i had met last weekend with david. OF curse the train is jam packed and full ofpeople so i cant make my way to her so i let it slide. Didnt see where she went at the station but that was okay. So yea...amde it back here and yea i guess that is it. Nothing speicalhas hapened. This whole week i have seen some Americna movie in frnech. Sunday was harry potter (the first one) Monday was Titanic (and a little bit of full metal jacket) Tuesday was entrapment and yesterday Wed was Barry Lyndon....all of that in french. I pose the challenge to anyone to wtach Barry Lyndon all in one sitting with out getting up or using up thetime during intermission. I think the tv version was cut at some places....but nothingthatm ade a very significant difference to the movie...Anways well here i am thursday.......hungry so i think i am gonan cook some food that Rosina randomly gave me yesterday...out fo the blue. OH fuck i stillgotta do my work and study like hell. OH shit and i forgot to mentin about marilyn and Alida.....(or is it alinda) and i forgot to mentin the story about Vitali. Okay/........sofirst Alida...i tihnk that is how u spl it. Anwyas the romanian chick who is my other neighbor. I saw her while i was walkign with sasha on monday or tues. And we tlaked for a bit...then today as iwas wlakign abck i saw her talked about shit and she left. Anways she is a pretty nice chick....she's 18 and works in lausanne. She is punked out and with dreads and yea. I cant think of anyone to compare her to. OH well....anwyahs she's prety cool. And then yesterday...or maybe tuesday..MArilyn left. This chick lived like arouind the corner/ across from me. Room 60. I had talked to her more and more as the time wnet on and on the day she left i taled to her for a while. She toldme she had to go casue the swiss social was stopping payment for the foyerand she didnt have a way to pay. IT was al ogn story i am not gonan explain...anwyas so her boyfirend is gonan help her out i guess. Anwyas well that is all. Oh yea Vitali.....alright i cnat rmemebr when this was...but i wasdownstair whith i cnat rmemebr who. I was lying on the couch and some random dude came up to me and started talking then he lit a cigarette inside.......that is a big non no.........if ur gonan smoke u gotta do it outside or in ur room So vitali tells hm he has to step outside and the guy is like not wanting to go so vitali grabs him and escorts him outside. Okay Vitali is a pretty intimidating dude and he is prety strong. Anways so this dude is liek startign to casue shit outside and he smacks Vitali and is all talking shit to him so by this time Vitali's pateince is running out so really quickly he grabs the guyand give him a knee to his gut....a really hard one...like we were all like...holy shit. Casue we had never seen vitali actually hit someone....he's pretty patient...and he is a pretty nice dude. So ofcourse the guy is even mroepsit but heknows he cant take vitali one but he still talkes shit and pushes him...and finally vitali went back insdie and the guy tried to get in and talk more shit to vitali....ollivier and others were holding him abck and vitali is all trying to ignore hi,m. Finally the dude says something retarded alogn thew lines that he is going to get his firends with their guns and come back here fuck up the place. IF i could only tell u who many times i have heard idle threats....i am one ofthe few people who doesnt take it seriously. In fact......i can think of several idle threats ....i fuckin hate that......i fucking hate threats....but i hate IDLE ONES EVEN MORE>>> and I escpcially hate.,.....when the threat invovles your buddies.....becasue u cnat take care of ur own shit. I mean if ur facing more than one person....yea i cna understand it.....but comeone if its one person ...good god...be a man (or a woman if ur a chick) and either take it like a man (or woman) or fucking just drop the issue.

Former Pantera Guitarist Killed on Stage
11 minutes ago U.S. National - AP
By JAY COHEN, Associated Press Writer
COLUMBUS, Ohio - A gunman charged onstage at a packed nightclub and opened fire on the band and the crowd, killing top heavy metal guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and three other people before a police officer shot him to death, authorities and witnesses said.

Five Shot Dead at Heavy Metal Concert in Ohio
(AP Video)
Columbus police department spokeswoman Sherry Mercurio identified three of the victims of Wednesday's shooting as Abbott, guitarist with the heavy metal rock band Damageplan, and two other men, Nathan Bray and Erin Halk.
Damageplan had just begun their first song at the Alrosa Villa when the man opened fire, first targeting Abbott, shooting him multiple times at point-blank range, a witness said.
Abbott, 38, one of metal's top guitarists, and his brother, Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott, were original members of Grammy-nominated thrash rock pioneers Pantera, one of the most popular metal bands of the early 1990s.
The witness, 22-year-old Chris Couch, said he was standing about 30 feet away from the stage when he noticed a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and hockey jersey walk up to the stage, followed by a bouncer and another club employee.
The man in the jersey climbed onto the stage, started yelling and shot the guitarist five or six times at close range, Couch said. He said the gunman also shot a bouncer who pulled him off the musician.
Columbus police spokesman Sgt. Brent Mull said that after shooting at members of the band, the gunman fired into the crowd. Mull said a police officer who arrived shortly after the shooting began shot and killed the gunman.
"If the officer wasn't as close as he was, I think this would have been a lot worse," he said. "It was a chaotic scene, just a horrific scene."
Mercurio said the officer who killed the suspect was patrolling nearby when he heard the call go out. He entered the club through a back door and was directed to the stage, where he saw one person lying dead and the suspect holding onto another person, Mercurio said. The officer shot and killed the suspect.
The suspect's name and that of the fifth person killed were not immediately released. Mercurio said their family members are still being notified.
After the shooting began, Couch and a friend headed for the exit along with a tide of hundreds of fans.
"It was definitely a grudge. It was against something," Couch said.
Amanda Stankus, 19, who attended the show with Couch, said she initially thought the shooting was part of the show. "I just saw the guitarist fall down, and we decided to get out of there," she said.
The Abbott brothers produced Damageplan's debut album, "New Found Power," which was released in February. Other band members are vocalist Patrick Lachman and bassist Bob Zilla.
"Damageplan carries on the tradition Pantera started, the ... hell-raising tradition we were all about," Vinnie Paul Abbott told The Dallas Morning News in October. "We do play some Pantera songs. Me and Dime wrote them, and we feel like we have the right to play them. But the focus is on Damageplan.
"It took a while for some of the Pantera fans to accept it; we knew that was gonna be the case," he said. "Change is something that people have a hard time accepting. But me and Dime intended on doing this our whole lives."
A message left with Atlantic Records, which oversees the record label on which Damageplan records, was not immediately returned.
Damageplan's Web site said Darrel and Vinnie Abbott grew up in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, area where their father, country songwriter Jerry Abbott, owned a recording studio.
Telephone numbers for both Darrell and Jerry Abbott are unlisted and could not be reached early Thursday by The Associated Press.
Pantera, known for its brutally hard, fast and aggressive sound, recorded four albums in the 1990s. They attracted a massive cult following and the band's third release, "Far Beyond Driven," debuted at No. 1 in 1994, surprising chart-watchers and critics alike.
Pantera was nominated for Grammys (news - web sites) for best metal performance in 1995 for "I'm Broken" and in 2001 for "Revolution Is My Name." The video "The Best of Pantera: Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits," made charts earlier this year as one of the top 10 in music video sales.
Dozens of messages were posted to the Dallas band's Web site after the shootings.
"This is the worst day in metal history," one posting read.
"The metal world feels your pain," another wrote.

Um....oh yea i saw him again yesterday at the library I waso n my way to get some food to cook for the evening and i saw him and we talked then. Speaking of the library ...i cnat get a card becasue i am only here on a student visa.....despite the fact i have a residence in the city.........speaking ofstudent visa ......apparently i got some mail today saying that i need to hvaer some sort of health insurance in this country. Well awe fcuking great......in a country where everything is expensive as the trump tower....u want me to get some insurance......wonderfuckinful......oh well.....i know i am suppsoe to get a hold of BCBS in the states to see if they cover me here....i guess it depends on whatp lan u r in. So lets see what else........oh yea wed. as i was leaving to go to migros some chick saw meand started talkign to me. I have seen her before around here. I would always say hi to her and was alwasy nice to her....despite the fact that she looked like an addict. That seem to keep other people from being friendly to her. Anways she startedtalkingto me,....and of course being my usual self....i was freindly and nice. So we spoke i nfrnech and english. She is a....hhhmmm.......well;......where can i begin......well look we start off talking .....and throught out like the first 10 minutes i gather thismuch...which eventually ends up being confirmed.....she a an african ...i lost track of which relative is form where but one of her grandparents is from india.....then one of her parents is from egypt while the other i tihnk is from somalia She is an addict.....coke addict to be percise. She lives in a hospital......a psychiatric one....(orrather she lived....i will explain later)...and she is muslim.....or grew up aso ne....and she is 22. So while we are walking...she is on a quest to score some coke. We come across some dealers...and she is tyring to get coke on credit or osmething it was ridiculous.,.....she had no money but promised she would pay the guy later....he was like ...no....then she offered to fuck him......i tried really hard to remain reactionless......i tihnk i did a good job of remaining reactionless. Meanwhile right next to me a coke deal was going on.....this was all happening in front of the mcdonald's right in fornt of the trainstation...in downtown lausanne......ifu only knew how many people walk by there....anwyas so we wlaked some more after she failed to get coke to feed her addiction and we talked some more. I told she should quit the shit and get her life on track. I told her this after she told me some of the things she'd like to do and waht not. So i ws like well shit....get ur life together and stop buying coke and fucking go out there and make ur dreams come true. I was trying to be as positive as possible. Anyways through out all this.......something really odd happened. It made me feel really really uncomfortable....but i wasnbt about to just be up and leave and abandon her. She turns to me and was like " i like u".........okay so i laughed this off at first thinking she meant it in a firend way..........and then she was like "i love u" I freaked out completely. I mean i all up for being nice and positive....this girl had been tlaking to me for less than 30 mins and already she was like i luv u....i was trippin balls hardcore and all frekaing out and shit. So i wasn't jsut about to look at her and say i love u too or osmething and hook up with her.........the other option was to completely leave the situation without hesitation and leave in a jumpin jack flash........but that would require me to be mean......sometihng i cnat do normALLY. sO I DID sometihng else........something i do at times when things get fuckin wierd.......and i am sure other people do this too.....but in case u dont u should try it..........its simple its easy and its one word.......ignore......so i completely ignored that andchanged the subject......and yes it worked......(thankfully it did........so don't worry ladies...i am still free......if anyone is interested.............................................................................................okay who am i kidding.....) Anways sometime we got to a public phone and she called her mom. It was at teh st francois place and people go there quite a bit so she starts off o nthe phone and after ahile itsl iek she is yelling....so of course everyone who is aorund looks at the general direction..........i figure i am gonna dig in my pocket and look for spare change as if i am next in line ot make a call. So after that call she hung up ...said her mom was going to see her.....she lvies in aigle its not too far form here. It was funny ...whle she was on the phone ....i started wisihing i had my camera.....i would have documented an hour of an addict's life. Oh well...so after a bit more tlaking ....she called her mom agian and she said sometihng about going to belair...and i didnt feel like going to bel air...even though its like 5 minutes away...from where we were....which was the train station..........So with that i came back ....took a shower,....and when igot out i saw rory....so yea. Um...anways interested short sequel to my adventures with Macy...the addict chick......she came knocking mn my door yesterday...i dunno how she figured out where i lived....but whatever...and she gave me a big hug and thanked me. She told me she had a firend waiting for her downstairs and that she was going to move into some place.....a decent place. She was gonan get a job and try hard to quite coke. Anwyays she thanked me for talking to her and being a friendly person and what not. So i told her no problem and what not. I was so fucking tired hwen she came casue i was asleep and the knock woke me up. Anways so with the she left and whatn ot. I am sure we will see each other around. I jsut hope all goes well for that girl. So yea thats about it.....u kmnow they were hswoing Y tu Mama Tambien yesterday on swiss tv.....but i coudnt find it...and then the tv was being used by some others....so i figured oh well.....fuck it....ive sene it before ....i jsut wanted to see it i nfrench.

my place
1203 pm locaL TIME
i would like to start by saying THANK U SURFER GIRL FOR THE MAIL......MADD PROPS TO YE!!!!!! Those jovovich pics will be up indeed to keep me warm on those cold nights.
Today i didnt go to class casue i jsut couldnt get my ass up. Its weird...last night i went to bed earlier...i woke up this morning and jsut could make it up.....so i didnt go. I feel kinda guilty about it though. I mean here i am with a good thing going and i choose to sleep through it......fuck me Oh well....i guess one day couldnt hurt. But its like missing one day of class....u miss a lot of shit.....so that is not good. Hopefully it will be sometihng notto hard ot learn. Lets see...what else......um so the weekend i stayed in lausanne. Friday rosina got back and i think all we did wassit downstiars and talk and shit and somehow...us going ice skating came up. Okay so she was gonan go snowboarding with this other dude sat....but that plan fell thorugh casue the dude couldnt go or something. So saturday went eally slow....we chilled for a bit...and i told her this is ridiculious we can stay here all fucking weekend.....lets find something to do...even if its walk around the city and get lsot....lets jsut do something. So after awhile of trying to figure out what the hell to do we figured we'd go to this park that has this tall ass wooden tower u cna go up on. The way its made is so fuckin crazy......at least ot me it looked really weirdly interesting. So lets see it was already night so we stood there and looked around seeing the lighs of lausanne and france and all the surrounding areas So after awhile we heaeded back to ctach the bus back to our place becasue we had told olivier that we would goto lapin vert (green rabbit) which is a bar. So anwyas we took the bus and on there we saw jose....it was this dude we had jsut met on the bus ride to the park....and hejsut also happened to be on the same bus we were taking back. So we started talking again and what not. He is from the dominican republic and he works at a hair salon iguess or something. So i am pretty sure he is gay....but whatever its doesnt matter....he's a pretty nice dude. He's 33 and have been here in this country for liek 6 years i tihnk....im not sure. Anyways so after awhile of talking in french and spanish he invited us to eat with him at a chinese place.....i fucking love chinese food....and yea sure this was an odd situation...but i mean he was pretty firendly....(not that type of friednly u sickos) so I let rosina decide.....either way was fine with me. She said yes.......and in a way i was thankful casuei was hungry as hell....and so was she. So we all wnet to This place...ate and talked......it was pretty cool. We had some wine.....even rosina.....the girl who barely drinks anything.....anwyas...well she didnt have much. So after that it came time to pay...and the guy , jose....he pays for it all....despite rosina and my protest. We had money and everything...but jose was like dont worry about it. So yea that was cool. So after that we had to part ways casue we were gonan meet olivier and so we head back and we get there and we see whats going on.....turns out olivier had changed his mind and didnt wanan go. Jeta, and patrice were also around.Anways so i was like "come one....it was ur idea ...lets go...everyone should go" So i started asking everyone.....Patrice said no......i asked jeta and she was like....meh maybe..,.....rapahel walked by and iasked him...and he was half interested and half not. So then jeta ollie and raph go outside for a smoke....finally like 3 mins later jeta walks in all excited andtells me and rosina that she hasconvinced raph and oli to go and that she will go too. So we were happy and then we went to the bar
There was a fuck load of people there....after a bit of time we found a nice area would could all chill. I had been to this bar once before with Sam but it wasn't anything like that thattime. Anyways...rosina like it casue all they play is rock....mostly hard shit but every know and then there was a song by jet....or the darkness.....So we ordered one of the big glasses of kamakazee so we could take it back to our spot and take shots. It wasl ike 23 francs......so whatever....anwyas....we all took one...yes even rosina...which was a shock to me. In fact she might have had 2 or 3 now that i tihnk of it. Anyways so after all that oli was somewhat tired and jeta and him left. Raph looked like he was having asomewhat shitty time.....the next day i learned why...i will explain later.....anways so afterawhile raph left...and then it was jsut me and rosina.......we got back at about 2am So throught out all the time we werethere wetalkedand yadda yadda.. Anways....so the next day...sunday ...or not wait maybe it was monday...well whatever....me rosina and oli are talking and i learn that raph had a shitty time casue he sawthis X of his who he was really into....but she was ...well i dunno.....what happened....i tihnk she jsut didnt feel the same. Okay so anwyas i am like....alright well.......is this a recent X and oli says no....its from 12 yrs ago. So i am like.......well fuck man............that is a a long time........2 tears in a bucket and just say fuck it. But then i sat there for a second thought about something and was like....whoa ...wait a minute how old is raph? i thought he was in his 20s or osmething........well oops. I think oli said he is lke 31. So i am like.....whoa.......holy shit......... Oh yea and another note of age....i thought jeta was like older than me...liek i thought she was 23 or so.......well oops again....she is 17. Rory thought she was like in her 20's too....so its not jsut me....anwyas that was all news to me....so now i know i am not the youngest person here. So back to raph...i jsut wodner whythe hell he hasn't found anyone....like does he not look or what? oh well....so lets see....sunday ...oh yea sunday we were gonan do ice skating......but that plan iddnt goover to well....which is alright. Then yesterday, monday rosina sees me and asks me if i wanted ot goto ticket corner with her to get tickets to see prodigy......I said HELL YEA and we went.....we get there and ask for 2 tickets............and guess what the fuck happened......they werent sdold out.........there was only ONE LEFT!!! ONE FUCKING TICKET.....we both looked at each other and jsut said....well fuck...so neither of us bought it....however we figure maybe there will be scalpers so we're gonan see what we can do....for her its no problem to go casue she has a pass to ride whatever whenever for free....i only have a half pass......so yea...oh well....I am gonan see about going to zurich and then see if we cna find somescalpers........we'll see how it all goes. So lets see....after that jounrey we went did our grocery shopping and made some stops so she could look at clothes and stuff...afterthat we made itback and started making food. So yea i guess that isall that has happened. Fucking yesterday ...holy shit balls it was 4 fucking degrees; 39 for u people back home.....i was going to fucking die. So yea....i guess other than it beingcold....and the bar and the free food......nothing esle is going on....maybe me and rosina will go ice skating today.....but tis hard to do shit on weekdays....i study sheworks....... so yea. Anwyas maybe we can get other people to go also....well whatever....thats all for now.....i amgona study....and / or eat osmething.
*AUTHOR'S NOTE
in reviewing this entry i realizedthat the way i phrased jose being gay makes it sound like i am getting tothe conculsion becasue he works at a salon....lemme clear this up right now....that has nothing to do with i think hes gay........what had more to do with it is that hwne i was talking to him....he didnt assign a sex to his X....except once....in which i could swaer he said HE and not SHE....however i could be wrong. Anyways jsut wanted ot clear that up......

lausanne, VAUD
my place
240pm
i was going to wirte an entry while in zurich....but i guess it slipped my mind........so i have a whole week to go through...since it has been a week saince my last entry.....well....where do i begin....i guess it makes sense to begin chronologically........so through out the week i didnt do too much....er i eman last week....sry. Um.....lets see.......oh i think it was wed.....or something...fuck i forgot when....but Nicotina was showing for one day...at one time at one theatre here....i jsut happen to randomly stumble upon that while reading the paper.....and i decided i was bored and wanted to see a movie. I had heard about Nicotina while i nthe states and i wanted to see it....but it wasn't anywhere in austin atthe time. Anyways so i saw that...for some ungodly price....it was a pretty decent movie.....its like snatch and intermission put together. God intermisssion......that movie had so many characters......anyways.....so um...i dontthink anything else special happened........oh wait fuck me i totally forgot....okay sometimes on wed...or was it thursday...it was thursday....Rory got ahold of rosina and he said that he was going to leave switzerland on tuesday and wanted ot know if we could all hang out one last time before he leave. So me rosina and jean baptiste and sandra meet rory here and we all go to captain cook's bar....which is this pretty cool bar that palys good music of all sorts...and wherew the barmaids are too fucked up to charge u by the end of the night casue they would rather be going at it......(i think i have mention this bar before) So yea anyways we went there and talkedand drank of course..not much though....and rosina stuck to her ice tea for the night. Sandra ran off after a bit becasue she wasnt liking the place. Oh well. So okay we chilled some more after that and then it came time to walk back...we all walked and we cmae to an interesction and we had ot part...so we said our goodbyes to rory . I will miss that dude....he is one cool canadian (no that is not an oxymoron) He did say maybe he would come by monday (todAY) so we will see. Hm...okay so me and rosina and jean baptist.....get back to our place and crash....lets it......okay i guess that is all for interesting things for this week........................... although i tihnk i forgot to mention we got a new student like last week....or the week before from china.....i dont even know how the fuck to spell his name....its like budi......fuck me idunno.....anyways.....and while we are on the topic of new students...today we got a new student....her name is lola and she is from madrid. I walked in late today and i looked at my normal seat and it was taken.....*gasp...oh well..............i jsut took the nearest empty seat.....which is on the other side of izabela.......anwyas....moveing on......i guess its time for me to share about my weekend..........lets begin with friday...Friday....i tooke the 437 train from lausanne to zurich which passes also through other cities...and one jsut happens to be Yverdon les bains.....which was perfect becasue firday that is where rosina was working. So she looked for me on the train on yverdon and then we chilled on the train. We get to zurich and right after we get of that train we get our asses to the concert venue in hopes that we can find tickets. Our quest was to find 2 tickets............sounds easy enough.........however there was a fuckload of people who were on the same quest. So after like 15mins of searching...found a guy who had one ticket...and was selling it for 120.....well ....fuck.....it was the cheapest anyone was offering....so we took it...but he only had one.....rosina didnt have all ofthe 120 so i was just liek...dont worry about it and handed the guy the 40 francs that was need......as u cna tell i wanted to see the prodigy really really really bad.....anyways.....so now we had to find another.....the guy told me and rosina that he would go and get another........after like 3 mins i fuckin see him holding up a sign in german saying that he is searching for tickets.....so i am like....fucking A that bastard prolly bought it for 100 francs then sold is to us for a profit.....so fuck i found a pen...and told rosina to write in zurich deutsch searching or buying tickets or whatever. I had brought one of my french text books so icould do some studying.....so i had her write it on the back inside cover and i walked all up and down the street through some crowds holding that sign up......i reach the end of the block and am starting to give up hope....as i am walking back towards rosina who is at the front of the venue... i am still holding the sign......some dude sees me and starts talking to me in english. He asked me if i was lookign for a ticket...and i was like hell fucking yea.......and he told me...okay one ticket is all i have...i was like perfect...how much...he offered it to me for 100 francs....i fucking took that deal right away ...not to mention that there were people ...many people...doing the same as me...and would likely offer more. So i bought the ticket ran back to rosina screaming in joy and yea....so after that we went to rosina's house...i met her parents.....and then low and behold......guess what the fuck i had to do....i had to sit down and eat dinner ...with the parents.......i dunno why....but if there is one thing that always makes me feel uncomfortable is having dinner with someones parents....i mean ...thereare some exceptions.....like ryan's parents...or people like ryan who i have known for awhile....or like if ur parents are laid back and dont mind if u curse or do weird or funny shit.......like ryan's parents....hahah......or if its like and informal dinner...u know u order a pizza and blah blah blahor a BBQ. Well anyways.....i was jsut thrown into that situation...and i was left with no choice........and i am sure bekah is ready to yank my ears off becasue told her i couldnt have dinner with her and her parents back in the day....and herei am...eating with rosian and her parents and i have only know her for like al ittle over a month. Meanwhile i have known bekah for years and ican't do the dinner thing. But seriously....i swear i didnt know that i was going to have dinner with her and her parents.........i thought me and rosina were jsut gonan get a bite to eat and then haul ass to the venue since doors opened at like 8 i tihnk......anwyas...turns out that is not the case.....which was fine.....i mean it wasn't as formal or special as i thought itd be...i mean fuck i dunno how the swiss germans are....er at least i didnt know how they were when it came ot amtters like these......Well it turns out it wasnt so bad.......i mean i dunno much german but i picked up on some things.......one of those things being shit.......but i eman its like saying crap here......er...in schweiz deustch at least........anyways./......so i had to speak french to them....her dad knew some english....so if i didnt understnad sometihng he would explain in english....however that didnt always wok.....so he'd say theword in german....er...swiss german...e...fuck.....zurcihoise german....andi tired to make it out what the fuck it was. That didnt work out to well either.....anyways we got by though...and i survived....and the food was hella good. So okay after that we go to he venue and walk in......it was weird the guy didnt rip the ticket or anything....he just looked at it and let us through.....if i'd known this beforehand i woud havesearched for a palce where u can hand off the ticket to someone and what not.....meh oh well......so lets see....wegetthat and we wait for the prodigy's set to start............after awhile the music begins and the whole fucking place explodes. OH and felipe...for the record.....this place is fucking bigger than the music hall.....no fucking questions asked..........in fact....i could go as far as to say that this could have been almost twice the size of the music hall.....give or take. Anwyas...the whole fucking place exploded like madd shit on ice (if anyone knows how that is.....fuck i dunno how that is...or what the hell i am trying to say...........but i hope u all get the pciture) Anwyas....if anyone rmemebrs this...as i expectfelipe to rmemebr this: but on one of the mtv music video awards i tihnk it was....they had a live feed of a concert prodigy was doing in england....and they performed breathe........and u could see everyone going nucking futs and it was a massive amount of people....well.......that is like how it was. ....minus the fact that there werent as many people as there were on the live feed.....but good god. So it was an hour and a half set where they covered a lot of stuff......sadly no one love or voodoopeople...or full throttle.....but there was some stuff i recognized from music for the jilted generation....on top of that they performed girls...spitfire....mindfields....hotride (if only juliette lewis had come out and sang that...i would have nuts....but sadly she was nowhere) breathe....smakc my bitch up.....firestarter.....medusa's path, get up get off, mindfields...crap lets see what else...god i know iam forgetting some more......serial thrilla...okay well u get the picture. I have never come out of a show with osme much sweat on me. It was some crazy stuff......well anwyas as soon as i got out the cold sturck me like ...like.....like.....well look it struck me...and it was hard. So i took of my shirt and just wore my sweater.......afterwards rosina asks me what i am up for...i tell her anything....so i we decdied to go to abart...which is this club in zurich. We get there and chilled for a bit ...jsut me and her...after that we go home.....it must have been like 4am when we got back to her house....anwyas we crashed. Next day we get up at around 2pm and we ate and lounged and then went to the apartment of some of her friends....that was cool...watched rollerball in german....the remake of rollerball...to be exact. So um...okay after chilling in that apartment we went to a place called d -33 spent some time there and chilled and what not for the night and then we left...everoyne retunrned home and me and rosina went back to the house and bam that was it. Lets see......sunday...slept in...a lot and then......after waking up got ready and lunged some more...ate...god speaking of eating i forgot to mention saturday's lunch was interesting becasue she was making pizza for me and her since her parnets were out and aobut. Anyways so the 1sto ne was fine but the 2nd one was so badly burnt ...its like u couldnt even bite donw on it...and we laughed so hardabout it...casue we are always making pizza...u'd expect we'd become pros....... So okay we got a 3rd one and it came ou find....but damn that 2nd one...was worse than any other pizza i had ever worked on. Andm ind u i am not a master pizza dude.....but perhpas i will be. Anyways.....okay so sunday's lunch i cant rmemrb what it was....but i didnt starve...so i am sure it was good.....once again her parents were out and about i dunno where....so we fended for ourselves with the food issue. Okay so when they got back her mom made crepes for usall. So i had like 5...2 with ground beef and 3 with maramalade i guess.....i dunno...well whatever.....and then we got our shit together and left. It was funny casue herei am with one backpack...simple as that and here shie is breinging all this shit back to lausanne form zurich and its in a backpack..plus to other bags and also there were skis and ice skate which had to be carried by hand (or neck....which is what i did withthe skates) so i figured i'd help and i carried my backpack...plus the skate plus the other 2 bags.....it was funny. And while wewere walking to the bus stop she is like..."we gotta go to my friend's house i gotta giver he sometihng back" So okay...easier said than domne.....haha oh well i survived...made it to the station and we rented a locker and then put all our shit inside...minus the skis which wouldnt fit....and we jsut wlaked around zurich. She showed me around....it was fucking cold...but it was still fun.....so we get back to the station get our shit and ctach a train to lausanne...which is better than the lastone casue it had less stops.....thus it is faster.....plus those 2 floor trains are pretty cool....riding aoruind on the 2nd floor...better view and its just fun. While we are on the topic of the zurich trainstation...i would just like to make this announcement...the Zurich HB (Haupbahnhof i think is how u spell what HB stands for...it means main station) has to be the biggest mother f'ing trainstation i have ever set foot in in my life. I couldnt believe how many platforms it has......i was reading the timetable and everything and i was looking at the platforms and i start reading numbers like 23 and 25 so i am like okay damn....then i keep reading ....39.......42........46.....etc. etc. Yea that friggin train station has like 54 platforms.....maybe even more....i know this becasue i walk helene to that platform....oh crap i forgot to metnion....on sasturday i met up with sis at the station since she called rosina'scall which i left her. Anwyas we met up in zurich HB since she was there and me rosina her and a co worker...all sat down and had a little something and talked and what not. And then she had to go soi wlaked her to her platform. So anwyas i just thought i would shre this whole info about zurich's ungoldy large trainstation. Okay back to what i was aying like 10 lines ago or so.....me androsina take the train back to lausanne....its a 2 and a half hour trip...getthere at like 10 till 11 and get back to our place....and so ends our adventure. So lets do a quick money review.........i left Lausanne with 300 francs........60 went to a ticket to zurich and back....240....100 wnet for a ticket 140....40 went to help pay for the other ticket....100....that 100 went towards bus food drink etc. Came back to lausanne with 0 francs.......u cna imagine for the next seveeral weeks i will be cuting corners to make up for the 300 spent. So i guess that is it....i have been typing away for awhile...and while typing this entry my computer wnet nuts several times and i have had to retype and reboot and etc. So all of u should be happy that i have the patience to deal with this kind of stuff. Meanwhile i would like to finish this entry with a special message for my dear ole bro...felipe..........*ehem...(clears throat) do u rmemebr all those times u told me prodigy is comming to austin..and i used to believe u...and then it turns out u had BS'ed ...andonce i told u if ever the time comes i will rub it in ur face......well GUESS WHAT MUTHERFUCKER.....I JUST SAW THE BIGEST MOST BAD ASSSHOW IN OUR FUCKING LIVES.....AND U WERE NOT THERE.......U MISSED WHAT HAD TO BE THE MOST KICK ASS SHOW ON THE FACE OF THIS PLANET....AND PRODIGY WILL NEVER COME TO AMERICA...AND IF THEY DO IT WILL ONLY BE TO NYC...CASUE THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE THEY REALLY GO SO U CNA (if u r not felipe u cna stop reading this.....its okay...i dont think u wanna know what comes next) ...as i was saying.....SO U CAN SUCK MY DICK AND FUCKING LIKE IT YOU COCKSMOKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh and if that is not enough...i will be sure to post pictures of goodies like ticket and shirt...and when u come and pic me up in SA in decemebr...i will sport my new shirt and i will be sure to wave that ticket stub around ur face constantly.........................if u r not felipe and u bothered to read all that...if i have offended u i am sorry......
2 mins later...
holy shit rory just came by...he gave me his cell phone since i wont be getting mine back anytime soon and since he is going back to canada he doesnt need it...not to mention i don't think its a triband phone..menaing it wont work....well i guess that is all......we talked a bit and now he is gone.....however he seems to get around a lot....and i do somewhat...jsut not as much as him.....so who knows ...maybe i will run into him again sometime in another country.......speaking of which...i have been thinking about something....and helene andi tlaked today and i leanred that olga...my aunt wants totake my mom to columbia for a bit...which i tihnk is a good idea.......this wouldn't happen though until sometime next year...i tihnk somone mentioned march......this is assuming my mother is doing find. Anyways i think this means that i will be me and felipe in austin. What the fuck am i going to do in austin from april...assuming icome back in april....all the way to august........so i figured i'd wanna get osme backpakcing in there. So i am thinking if i find at least one other person who will do this with me.....and if i could do a little mroe research on certain things...i ma tihnking i'dwanan do southeast asia and aussie and NZ. However currently this is jsut an idea.....i'd have to figure out some things before hand......and i extend this invite out to anyone.....hell i'd figure maybe i could convince felipe.....so dude if ur reading this...what do u think.....what else is there to do? u got any plans? in fact anyone reading this........lets say i get some shit organized...anyone interested.......it dont care about ur age sex race etc etc......if u r interested though seriously....casue fuck me...i dunno what else i'd do......however htis could just be one of my crazy ideas......however...me going to school in switzerland was a crazy idea also...but hey guess what....i am going to school in switerland....so anyways just a thought |

Raimi Readies "Dead" Remake
Thu Nov 18, 5:20 PM ET Movies - E! Online
By Josh Grossberg
Sam Raimi is resurrecting the Dead.
The Spider-Man helmer, who shot to fame scaring the bejesus out of moviegoers as the writer, director and producer of the 1981 cult horror classic The Evil Dead, has unveiled plans for a remake, Daily Variety reports.
Raimi will develop the new Dead installment through his Ghost House Pictures with an assist from the production company Senator International and the film's original producing partners, Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell (news).
Campbell also played Ash, the beleaguered, badass hero chased by dark zombie forces in The Evil Dead and its sequels: 1987's equally gory Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn and 1992's Army of Darkness, which jettisoned the series' more stomach-churning chills in favor of slapstick.
The Evil Dead follows five friends who wind up at a cabin in the woods, where they find an archaeologist's taped translation of an ancient text known as the Necronomicon. When spoken aloud, the book unleashes an unspeakable evil from the forest that terrorizes the teens and turns them into flesh-eating demons. It's up to Ash to keep the dead dead.
The over-the-top violence, masterful camera work, and buckets of blood earned the low-budget feature a massive underground following and launched Raimi's career.
Because he's busy prepping Spider-Man 3, Raimi doesn't have plans to direct the new version.
"The Evil Dead is such a special film to Sam, Rob, Bruce and horror fans that we are going to take great care in renewing this franchise," Joe Drake, president of Senator International, told Variety. "By keeping its original formula intact and given audiences' appetite for horror, we expect that we'll have a real hit on our hands."
As part of the deal, Senator will put up the financing in exchange for worldwide rights to the picture and its executive producer, Nathan Kahane, will supervise production for the company. No word on whether Campbell will have a role in the update.
Meanwhile, Senator and Ghost House have also green-lighted a follow-up to The Grudge, now that the Sarah Michelle Gellar (news)-starring horror flick has just crossed the $100 million mark in domestic box office after 27 days in release. |
