| 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.

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. |

So what cna i say. Today...or rather through out this evening i have been talking to Rory about the things he's done. Its like the past two years he's just been working andtraveling and what not. Before comming here he was in australia and he worked there...He mentioned south Korea...and how he had taught english there and what not. Like this guy has a really interesting life....i kinda envy him....i mean damn i wish i could dosome of that shit. He has a degree in math but has no clue what to do i guess......i made a commentthat i'd expect with all the adventures...or misadventures ....you'd figure something out......but he said..not exaclty. Anyways i satill tihnk it would be fun to do shit like that for ahwile....if i was given the oppertunity to join him...i think i would....as long as i was done with class or something.....and if i could get a certificate that he was telling me about...for teaching english ....he said it is not too difficult. Lets see.......what else have i learned....oh yea jsut a little while ago i learend Rosina is 22....i tohught she was more like 20 or 19...maybe 18.....boy was i wrong. I also learned that izabela is gonna be 24 on the 22nd....i tihnk that is firday. I still have trouble spelling her last name....and hell even her first name sometimes.....so that prior spelling ijsut gave could be wrong.....if it is...oops...sory.....and damn her last name isn't any easier.....So basically every night ......its like me rory rosina olivier...cvan;t rmemebrthe other dude's name...and sometimes the dude form cyprus......oh and the french dude....we always just chill and kick it....its like routine.....oh and every now and then sandrina i tihnk is her name joins us....she's a columbian adopted by swiss germans.......okay so that is all for now.......i am tired and i havebeensleping bad lately so this is a short and boring and simple

Lausanne, Vaud
My shag pad.....well its not really a shag pad...but i need to come up with new and interesting names for my place...
1223pm local time
fuck me its cold and rainy...........class is getting quite a bit harder...holy shit.....um....letssee.....i thought i had wrtten an entry in montreux or vevey or chateau d'oex.......i guess not....maybe i jsut debated writing one and never got around to it...well whatever. So on firday i woke up at 615 am...i had told rosina to do me the favor and knock onmy door around 615 in case i slept through my alram.....which i believe i did the night before. So she came and knocked on the door....i seriously don't know how she does it.....she goes to sleep at midnight and wakes up like at 6 am or so and then works until 5 or 530 and then comes here and still has energy and whatnot...and she has notrouble waking up...when shecame to my door she was like all dressed and ready for work.....i was like damn! Anyways so i woke up and wentto controle of habitants to get my studen visa.....this time i stood in the right line.....and then when it gets to me ...they are like....okay everything is fine 95 francs please....i was like awe shit....i ddnt have 95 francs on me....went out searched for an ATM machine.....found one...it didnt work....had more problems..and in the end i didn't get any money...so i went back and asked if there was anything else that could be done....like could i pay when i actually got handed the visa...and the lady went to ask her suprervisor to see if anything could be done.......sadly nothing could be done....so that sucked...so i have to go back and get everything done some time. ...Lets see whatelse went on.....oh yea for the weekend i went to Chateau d'oex....no surprise there...anwyas the skating rink was up.....so on sunday i went ice skating....not for al ong time though....anwyas i fell a couple times...not too bad. Kate tried to teach me how to stop....but i couldn't do it......it was funny ...i had a 6 year old teach me ice skating..........um watched some of fight club in fnrech.....and on firday night me and helene watched this movie called Heavenly Creatures....it was odd......it was done by peter jackson.....i swear to god that dude has something with NZ......anwyas this movie wasn't too great.....i dont see how it was nominated for an oscar for best original screenplay...but whatever.......lets see...sunday i talekd with rosina through out the night...got my cd back form her...and she lemme borrow 2...one is a band called Claw Finger.....its alright i guess, thereare some good songs on this cd..and the other cd is a compilation i tihnk called suh a surge...i sitll need to listen to it. Saw her room...its some pretty cool shit in there oh and we talked about rory...casue he had to leave along with some other people for the weekend...to make room for these marathon runners. Anwyas he is also low on cash so if he doesn't find a job soon....he will have to go back to canada. Last night i saw him acutally...he got his rooim back and we talked.....and then i told him i would meet him downstairs in a bit...but then this dude stopped me and started asking me about america. He's Sri Lankan or something and i tihnk he is going to try to go to school in the US and wanted ot know all these things. So yea that was interesting....took awhile. After all that i finally wnet downstiars and didnt see him...so i settled for osme tv...i was scrolling thorugh the channels and i notcied The Virgin Suicides was on....it was subbed in french...and i decided i would watch it and try to pick up on things. Rory came and he joined me...then Jean- Baptist..the frnech dude came...and hten Rosina came so we all watched it...and then afterwards we just talked....and yea...the usual. So um....okay....today.....i woke up ...felt crappy...got to class a bit late......blah blahblah....class is geting much harder....yadda yadda.....okay i am gonan go shower nd do the things that needot be done.

1 26pm.................london time..........................so its 2 26pm here in lausanne
Okay so...today its just cold...not rainy...not really sunny either..but thats okay...at least its not raining. So i met someone new today. Andrea...she is a swiss german. This is the girl i keep seeing everywhere and all we do is smile to each other. Like she was one of the people i took my exam with i believe.....i was so convicned she was danish or something...maybe the other girl was...i dunno. Anwyas i also saw Andrea at the trai station like last week i tihnk...and i saw her at a bar 2 or 3 weeks ago. She goes to the same school...but we're in different classes...anways as i was leaving and going down the stairs she was behind me...and i smiled and she spoke english to me...andi was like...oh sweet u know english....and then we jsut started talking found out she was a swiss german and that she learned a little bit of english....so we spoke in a mix of french and english....She knows quite a bit of french We walked around a bit...got some food and sat at some chruch steps and talked for a bit. And then we parted ways....So that was interesting....i am sure i will see her again tomorrow. So lets see what else....last night i came across Sam...this dude who i met ...his dad is from seattle and his mom is swiss romane........swiss frnech....whatever term u wanan use. Anways we talekd a bit o nthe street and we thought about going to a ar or osmething...so he was goan run to Mc D's and then come by and find me at my place...he lives i nthe same building as me an all. Anways so on my way back i came across Rosina in front of her room...and we were talking and i remmebered i sitll had her cds....so i gave thewm back and she went through my cds and i told her if she wanted to borrow some to go ahead.....so after that..we went through her cd collection at her palce and i found some things i was interested in ..so i borrowed a cd...I had left a note on my door for sam saying i was at the neighbors and just knock there for me. Eventually he came and then it was us 3 just chilling there and whatnot...and the plan to go to some bars went under....wel there is always another night. Anyways so lets see ...that is about all the interesting stuff that happened......oh something odd came up yesterday.....we went downstairs me rosina and sam.......sam smoked and then went back to his room and i was watching tv with jean baptitste and the Cyprus dude....or whereever it is he is from...n e ways i was tried and i was on my way back to my room...i cut through the lviing room and there were several people there...like rosina, patrice...oliver...rafael...and jeta. (i think that is how u spell her name...its either jeta or yeta) Anways i don't think i have mentioned jeta b4. She is from Kosovo and is here studying medicine. Anways as i was walking by and telling people goodnight Jeta look at me and asks me (in french of course) if i am in love with rosina...it was pretty random....so jokingly i said with all my heart.......then i was like no....becasue its u i love...and i burst out into song....Everyone thought it was funny....however i found the whole thing kinda odd....what the hell kind of a random ass question is that....its like when caroline asked me if i liked sandrine......all very odd um...okay that is all for now

alright so check it...here's what went down last night. I cam across rory and we were talking and then he asked me if i wanted to go out with him and this other friend he met in australia....it was this french chick named melanie...she lives is strasborg.....er however u spell it. Anways i was up for it...and i wasl ike hmm....if i see sam i will ask him...and since i had just seen rosina i figured...what the hell...i know shes not a big time drinker but we cna just relax or something casue i didn't wana feel like a 3rd wheel or anything. So rosina wasa up for going out. So later on ...it was me rory and rosina...and we went to the train station to meet melaine....rory thought he forgot to turn off the stove...sohe ran ack to his place really quick and then ran back while me and rosina walked to the station....so we sat there for a bit....waited...i sang and set up my sweater as a palce ot put money in....rory and rosina gavem e change....but nobody else did....but some people were debatin ti or something....they kept looking over at me and smiling...one dude deug into his pocket and he didn't have change..........oh well. Anyways so finally melanie found us and we went to a bar. It was the same one i had gone to with karin....its called les brassiers....i think. Anwyas we wnetthere....had a round....but the dude was kind of an asshole....so we left after a round and went to the other bar i knew ...bleu lizard.....we go there and it was jammed fucking packed....so we went to the club right below it. That wasn;t too bad.....we had like a round or 2 there..........then some band came on called Texas Terri Bomb.....the singer was a chick but she looked kind of manly. So that was freaky...anwyas they were alright......rosina was loving the music.....i dunno so much if rory and melaine were into it it. Anways it started getitng jam packed in there and we left and we started walking back ...but we realzied it wasnt too too late...and we came across another bar so we debated on what to do. Rosina kinda wanted to go back but then some song she loved came on inside the bar...so we ocnvicned her to go in...so we all relaxed in there and drank...it was funny casue rosina was like..."oh only 15mins" that 15 mins turned to like an hour almost.....it was funny. It was a prety good bar.......not too crowded ...great music....it was wonderful....So okay after awhile rosina wnated ot go back since it was getting late and she had work and has to wake up at 6. So i walked with her back to place and then i debated if to go back or not...casue i told rorythat if i wasan't back within 15 or 20 mins...to forget about me. Anwyas......in the end i decided to go back and when i got there i had another dirnk......the bartenders...these 2 chicks were so drunk...i ended up getting a free beer...i sat there and waited to pay the barmaid but she was to busy drinking more and making out with the other barmaid.....they were kinda getting into it...so i just wlaked off with a free beer. So the 3 of us chilled for some more......then came clsoing time......so after that we just walke a bit...and then came back. So everyone went and crashed out. It was a prety fun night. I had fun...which is what i needed ......Lets see.....i guess that was all for last night....today went to class late. And came back...came across rory afteri got osme money. Saw Melanie and bid her farewell.....so the two left...i cwent to my room to get the address to an asian food place aorund here. And as i was walking i saw rory...so we walekd and tlaked and had lunch at this asian cusine place. We then walked around town for a bit and now here i am....he went to do laundry and i came back here to do my french studying and yea. Tomorrow i am going to try to go back to controle des habitants......so i cna get my visa...Rosnina brought up that she had to go for some reason.....i am not entirely sure....some about her getting her residence changed form zurich to lausanne....or something i ma not sure. Anways she doesn't knwo whwere it is so i mentioned that i have to go...and might go friday and if she would like we cna go together...so we'll see how that goes. .......anwyas so yea that is about it. |

Lausanne, Vaud
My place...yes thats right...my own little place....
8:29pm local time
okay....soits been awhile since i have done one of these....so lemme go into some explaining real quick
alright first of all....sometime like a week and a half ago my computer wentto shit...i took it with me to luzern and my cousin fixed it. And now instead of windows ME i now have windows 98....in french......and some apps are in german.....but at least the keyboard is set up as an american one....so i am getting by with my tri lingual computer. Lets see what else......well...here i am in lausanne.....i got my place on friday but went back to chateau d'oex ...i still had shit back there and other things i needed to take care of. Plus therewas some interesting stuff going on....like last night was this concert and there was this band...that was like a cross between yodeling folk music, samaba/batucada...u know some latin beat, and like soft rock....it was pretty crazy....in a good way. So lets review what has happened this past week and a half or more. So first....the weekend in luzern was pretty sweet. I gotthere....ate...chilled with oliver and he invited meto this dude's party. At first i wasnt srue casue i didnt wantto get in the way of anything he wanted to do...i didnt wanna be a bother....u know....but he was like...no dont worry about it so i went. There i met a whole bunch of people....it was like this dude's birthday. So i met him ...his name rafael....he's a pretty cool dude. I also met with family and a bunch of olivier's firends. I also met rafael's cousin named Martina...... We spenta lot of time talking...it was like me..her...her bro...another cousin....and yea that was all. We were all drinking...man that family stocked up on a crapload of beer and wine and this lichi champagne that was hell good. So at around 1230or 1 or so people started leaving....and i was feeling a bit hot...and wanted to go out fora walk. I asked martina and she was like....awe yea....lez go. So the 2 of us walked around for like an hour. Through out the course of that time we talked a lot....We got backto the place....people were cleaning up and stuff...... I told i would e back in luzern the weekend after next (which is going to be the weekend right bewfore my b-day) so maybe we could all chill or soemthing...yea ....So this weekend.....on saturday....me and helene are going to luzern. So.....my 1st day of class was monday. Let me imagine the room and i will go around it and list off the people. There is....well some dude from bagladesh...who has only come one out of 5 times....so lets jsut skip him. Then there is valentyna from ukraine. She is around my age i believe.....i could be wrong...but she is young though. Next is Michelle.....she is a brit, married. Shes like in her 30's i believe.....or actualy i think she is about ti hit 30...casue i was talking to her and i think she mentioned that. Then comes Amy....from china.....i dunno how old she is....but not any age near me. On firday she gave me som good tea...it was like jasmine honey i tihnk is what she said. I could be wrong. (understnad that evereyone in this class either communicates in french or in their native language, and that is only if someone understnads it. Anywas next to her is this dude who is turkish...i forget his name. Next to him is a turkish woman ....she's really nice. She gave me a lift on friday so i didnt half to walk all these places. Her husband works for phillip morris...hes also turkish. Next to her is "apple" she is thai...and chose apple as her nickname.....since people in the west have trouble saying her real name. I think she is the one closest to my age.....i believe she is actually 18...but that is a guess. Next to her is George.....he is hungarian. He's like 21 or 24...i think its 21.....but he looks older. Then comes another turkish dude who sits on my left, named ...okay i dunno how to spell it......but there is like 2 letters and then comes Taqin....and that is how u pronounce his name...its like the other 2 letters are silent. Anyways.....he seems like a shy guy....i think he knows whats going on...but he is very shy and get nervous infront of people. I will admit i was like that when i first got thee...but not as much anymore. I remmebr when we werei n the smaller classroom, befroe we switched rooms...he sat closer to me (casuewe were all bunched up) andhe would see some of the things i waswriting and he would correct some of my mistakes. All last week i was in retard mode...but with good reason. Everyday last week i had to wake up by 5 am casue it was the only way to catch a train that could get me to lausanne early enough for class from chateau d'oex. So yea i wouldwalk into class all tired and stuff...sometimes i didnt even have b-fast But i survived :) Lets see what else....um.....o yea...there is one more person....her name is isabella and she is from poland. She sits on my right. She's like 24 i think...maybe 23 or 22. .on firday i was drawing like this elephant thing on my paper and she liked it and asked me to draw in on her paper...it was funny. And like in the book...there was this little picture of the US and she labeled alaska ...and i got her book and labeled texas. Everyone there knows where i am from....as everyone else knows where everyone else is from.....we all had to introduce outselves and tell a bit about our country on the 1st day of class....so yea. Um...lets see...whatelse......friday after class...i found the pizza hut around here...and i got my place. George (my bro in law) dropped my shit off...i organized a bit and tookthe train back from chateau d'oes. I went to the bakery laterthan usual and talked to caroline...me her , her sis natalie, and natalie's firned sara went out for a drink. And we talked and stuff and out of the blue...right after i asked about sandrine she asks me if i like her. And says that she thinks i like sandrine. I was like no Anwyas...so then saturday night came.......we went to that concert checked out thato ne band...then went to a bar....and then another....and after awhile we left. I cmae across natalie and sarah again...andthere little group. Becasue of my hair and all to them i am known as Tom Sawyer (they even sing this tom sawyer song in english its funny) or i am know as jimi hendrix. Which i perfer......so yea me caroline and this other chick walked back towardscaroline's place Anywas i think she thought i was drunk casue as a joke a pretended to stumble around. Oh well whatever...so i wlaked 3/4's of the way home and went back. ...that was last night. Now here i am tonight...listening to music at my place justy typing away. Oh shit i forgot to mention that today i met david. He's this dude ...i think he is like 16 or so...doesn't look anytihng like it...anwyas he loves america and everything america. So its cool...he has a freind who goes to the american HS in some town in the mountains ....i told him we'd haveto go sometime. Anwyas befroe i got off the train...casue we went form chateau d'oex to lausanne together...i told him wherei lived...and told him i would be back in chateau doex jsut about every weekend....except for this one in which i will be going to luzern. So um...yea...i guess that is all to report on.... So i guess that is all.......i think i willcrash now....

So today we got 2 new students. One of them is only gonna be there for a week, his name is Marc. He is swiss, but from Bern...the capital of switzerland. So he is a swiss german and is gonna be in class for like a week...thats it. He's like 16 i believe. The other student is this Swede chick named Karin. I swear to god i thought she was american when she walked in. Casue she said in english : am i suppose to be here?" and it sounded real american like. So out loud I was like YES ANOTHER ENGLISH SPEAKER!!!! And then yea i find out she is a swede. She's like 19 if i recall....so seems like a cool chic. Her english is really good. Like she does sound somehwat american when she speaks, i mean there are times where she has that nord accent...but its not like a constant thing. Me, her , and michelle all talked while we were on our break. So yea...she told us a bit about herself. She'll be in the class for awhile. Oh yea it was a funny thing...but michelle turned to me during the beginning of our break and was like...."wow this karin chick is a babe" and i laughed casue babe....come on.....that was something i'd hear on Saved By The Bell in the early 90's. So yea.....Well whatever......um...so yea lets see......i got lost again today on the way back to my place....but its wasn't too bad. I saw something differnet and learned of a knew part in lausanne. I wonder how far mountbenon is from here.....i think its there where there is a casino...and in this country they lowered the gambling age back in january......so now i cna legally gamble........You know another thing that was funny...er well interesting today was...i was looking at isabella's shoes casue they looked unique...(between her michelle, and Valentyna ....they all wear really unique shoes) Anwyas i wanted to see who made them and she showed me and i saw it and read it outload...Haker....and i was like interesting...and then she said ....like hacker....and made a typing motion with her hands. I chuckled a bit....casue this was the 2nd time a reference of a computer hacker had come up between the 2 of us. The 1st one was i tihnk on friday when i saw something...and i said , pirat d'ordinateur, which in french can means computer hacker......i don't remebr why i said it....i tihk it had to do with something i saw on a paper of hers and i jsut felt like making a comment. So i jsut got done eating a pizza....a small one......oh well.....anwyas i tihnk i am off now to study

Living room of Badoux residence
10:33 pm
NOTE: This was originally hand written on paper......my laptop wasn't around....and i needed to occupy my mind. It was written while lying on a couch waiting for felipe to call me on news about mom. My mind was just going crazy..................
It's funny Life it's funny Here I am sitting in the living room of a family i've known for half a day Such a nice family Sarah the oldest which is like 14or 13 remind me of myself when i was i guess around the age. I guess her and her mom get along but their seems tro be much friction, maybe its normally like that, but i made the comment of "she'll come around" I look back and think of times that i was an asshole to dad I always thought he was making my life hard Yet here i am, months after he is dead realizing he was a good dad I mean given there were things that were just.......i dunno. Like on my 18th b-day when he was jsut crabby tghat made me feel sad.....actually a bit pist but i cna get passed thatAlso he never had a father so i guess he did the best he could. I hope sarah realizes the importance of her mother before her mother dies....or is even near it. I will admit i think it was a bit too late that i learned to really appreciate all my father had to offer it was towards the end of his life in which i think i learned or for all i know i won't fully appreciate everything until i have kids of my own (if that happens) and i begin to see myself in one (or all) of them. Helene told me when i was here, that her and dad talked and she asked out of all his children who does he see himself most in, or something like that. Helene says he said me. Something about being full of ideas or something. I don't remember exactly what. I think i am justgoing off on a tangent here or something. I am gonna haveto figure things out I want to see my mother, but i want to be able to come back here and return to my niche. Today me and karin hung out a bit after class. She seems like a really cool chick. I met my neighbor last night, she seems cool, and then this has to come up. I love my mom, I don't want her to hcange. This operation could just do that. My last memory with her was when leaving the airport she had some troube letting go and she wanted to give me money. I told her not to worry. She wanted to offer me $100 but i just kissed her and took like 20. But she was like.......shit no i can't rmemebr, but i ended up giving her another kiss and go another 20. I recall her crying a little bit. But i kida wished i'd have gotten her on camera Sometimes memories aren't good enough, you wanna be able to see your memory with your own 2 eyes or reach out and grab it. I don't think i could afford to lose my mother or have her changed in any way. Therewere times i think i was mean to her, but no matter what i always told her i loved her. That was the last thing i remember telling my dad, or at least the last thing i know he understood, and replied back to me. I'd never told him that. And after his death I remember being convinced that I never made him proud. Come graduation time fabien gave me a card with an inspirational message and inside it says that he found the card in dad's files. I have the card up at my place. I read it often. I am worried about my mom. What will happen t me. I'm too young for all of this stuff.

I am not as worriedabout my mom anymore. But i might have to go back to the states if she isn't well. So far what i know is that mom is able to move....and she communicates by squeezing someone's hand or something. In 4 or 5 days felipe is suppsoe to call i tihnk...and keep us posted...i think helene might call him sometime...i dunno. I hope everything is alright back in austin. Fuck me...........i dunno what theh ell i want ot say....my mind is still a bit fucked. I got into class today at like 930ish or so. Karin was'nt there today.....oh well......helene came and visited me. That was cool. We went to Chez emilia...this place down the street i discovered has decent food. Found out that there is a palce around here that does sell orangina....actually its at the train station...which is like a 5 mins walk. We found it when walking to the train station......casue i decided i's walk with sis and walk her to the station...so yea. Firday i am gonna go to chateau doex...and then sat and sun....sis and i are going to luzern. Marc is no longer in out class......he got into a diffeent one. Um.......yesterday...i talked to karin before mrs badoux picked me up. She seems to know quite a bit of lausanne, so maybe i will ask her to show me aorund or something. I need ot find more guys....i mean not that there is anything wrong with women....jsut every know and then its good to have guys around. I mean David is in morges......with is like 20 mins away out by preverenges. Hopefully we will be bale to hit up the american school up in the mtns sometime. Maybe i will see him firday in chateau d' oex
or something. Shit i dunno...todaywasn't too eventful....yesterday was jsut stressful with all the stuff about mom. I can't lose her.......any part of her. That's just the fuckin luck i need...to lose both of my parents in the course of several months. If that happened.........i would feel cursed. Okay i need to occupy my mind becasue worrying isn't going to do anything....all i cna do is wait and hope

So today wasn't too eventful....i got a phone actiavted for my room. But i didn't feel like paying much so i chose the option that i could recieve calls only.....they just can't be collect or anything like that. So if anyone has a phone card lying around and wants to hear a beautful sexy ass voice............you probably shouldn't call me...why? becasue i don't have a beautiful sexy ass voice......however if anyone misses me terribly and wants to hear my voice..........then u can call...i iwll hook u up with a number. Or of course...if any of you are planning to come to europe anytime while i am here.....lemme know and i will see ya.........I am slowly learning how close and far away i am from everything. For example the lights i see on the other side of the lake....is France.....learn something new. If i cut through the lake i could get there within an hour or less......this is by taking a slow boat.......Or i could get to geneva and go from there....but that would probably take longer....since i would have to make other stops........lets see what else...oh i just talked to my neighbor again.........okay so we both have really bad memory.....i couldn't rmemebr her name...i know i said something like rosalinea or ....god i dunno what the hell i worte in my last entry what i said it was........anwyas she thought my name was alberto or something....so i grabbed pencil and paperand worte down my name and she wrote hers down...so here it is...her correct name....Rosina......put an accent over the i.....anwyas i was chilling o nthe balcony and she came out.....actuallyi was sitting insdie but my feet were chilling the the balcony railing...........the balcony does'nt stick out much...so yea.....but i tihnk its kinda cool...cause u can go form room to room through the balcony...and u cna still open the door in a way as to where u can get some fresh air in...but nobody can come in...or oepnthe door and steal ur shit......i ma not too worried about that nayway. Um...lets see........oh yea so we talked on the balcony for a bit...then i wnet down to eat.......on my way back up a came across her...she had gone to get some italian bread or soemthing...and she let me try some...it was pretty good. So we walked back to our rooms and now here i am typing and listening to music. OH yea while eating i met this dude who is a Spaniard...but he knows some english...and i tihnk he is trying to learn french or osmething. His main reason for being here is to study medicine. So tomorrow there is yet anoother exam for my class.......she is ognna give us one each friday....it was funyn casue i ma like WHAT why do we have a test tomorrow...its thursday! and everyone was like ......its firday tomorrow...today is thursday......so yea...boy did i feel like an ass. The bangladesh dude wasn't there today...neither was one of the turks, or karin the swede....so it was kinda roomier today. I think out of everyone in that class Valentyna has the coolest accent casue it is different. I dunno how to describe it....its like how i put spanish and french together sometimes........she puts french with a russian dialect......its crazy....but cool. ......I have been trying to figure out who i nthe hell she reminds me of.......In a way she kinda reminds me of robyn......and osmeone else...but i cnat put my finger on it. Oh well whatever.....i am gona go shower and maybe study some more.

4:42 pm local time
so for the weekend ...it was simple...here's what went down. Friday went abck to chateau d'oex. Caroline and I went out for a drink. We were gonna go bowling at dinner, but she wasn't feeling to good afterwards so she called adn was like "i'm sorry i can't make it" i was like no worries. Sat with sis and we talked about many things, especially about family. Lets see...um....so we decided to drive to Luzern...we left saturday like around 10 am......maybe a little after....i met Caroline's older sister , Crystal, casue we had to stop my the bakery and get some things. Um....so okay we got to luzern had lunch....it was me, sis, olivier, aunt leo and uncle george...and also Pierre and Jean Michel, and both there girlfriends. Pierre's gils in named janine(sp?). They have been together for 6 yrs, She speaks good english...and on top offrench and german she also knows Romange...(fuck i dunno how to spell it or say it in english....anyways) its the language that like less that 5% of the swiss population speaks. Its like a mix of latin, italian, and finnish. I didn't understand the finnish part...but i got a quick history lesson on romange speaking swiss people....so it all makes sense. Yanna (sp?) is more shy about speaking english, so she speak french to my sis and me and some english to me. So lucn h was cool, there were 2 cakes, casue janine's b-day is on wed. So we celebrated mine and hers. One of the cakes that george made was really fucing great. It was so damn good....mouthgasm all over the place....it was that good. Anwyas so as a gift i got a cellphone. A pretty badass one. Of course service here is fucking expensive. We're talking about like one franc a minute in some cases is what i was told....thisis why text messaging is a very popular thing in europe. Fuck me speaking of text messages i have gotten several from martina and karin....i think me and karin are gonna get a drink tonight cause its my birthday. Anwyas back to my weekend...i will get back to karin later. So saturday night rolled around...and luzern is like a big fucking part town. Holy shit...whatever scene you're into ...its there is luzern. So much shit goes down in that town...its great. So first me and oli went to this quiet bar and waited for jean michel, janine, and yanna to meet up with us. We had a small bite to eat....or at least me and jean did. Had a bit to drink, and then meand oli went to this place where some party was going on. 2nd floor was like a dance floor and the first was like a chill place. Not to shabby at all...espcially since u on;y had to pay cover if u were going to the 2nd floor. So yea we drank there....and met some people . Afterwards went to a friend's house...and then home. So then sudnay came.....same people for lunch except pierre and janine. After lunch jean announced that him and Yanna are going to get married, so everyone was happy....but then came even greater news.......they were getting married in greece!!!Why greece...? becasue yanna is greek. So this means i know have a damn good reason togo to greece.....and i will go....and then he told us when...which made me even happier.......the 2 were getting married in 2006. Now for those of you who aren't soccer fans..........the next world cup is in 2006.....and its in Germany......not too far away. The world cup will probably end in july...and they are planning to marry in august...so it will all work out hopefully. Lets see.......so yea after lunch and waht not me and helene drove back to chateau d'oex........then i hitched a ride with george..(her husband george...not much uncle) back to lausanne...got back at aorund 10....did some french stuff then crashed out. Today....went to class...came back and got a call from helene. I did some of my french shit and then i decided i didn't like the ringso n my phone casue they all make me fuckin jump in the air casue they scare the shit out of my. So i customized that...so now i have Prince come on whenever someone calls...or i have my voice saying Bitch pick up the phone! ...or some elevator music that fatboy slim mixed i have on a cd. And if ever i am text msg'ed a lyric from Electrobank comes on....so yea. Anwyas back to karin.......i decided to go out for a walk....and i was jsut walking aimlessly and randomly...i started walking up the steep ass hill that i used ot take to go to class when i had to go from the train station and on my way up...who do isee....karin. So i was like hey, and we started talking. I found out she transfered out of my french class and into another. So we started talking...she told me she was gonna go to geneva to visit a friend so i walked with her to the trainstaiton and we were tlaking and we exchanged numbers and she told me she'd try to call if and when she got back...assuming it would be a normal decent hour. And she was like yea...we'll get a drink tonight...so i said okay....and when we go the the station....she had no idea about anything. So i helped her out...since forthe first week of class all i did was fucking take trqains back and forth......so i wasl ike okay lets check train times.....i looked at what time it was and i said if she hurry she could catch the 4 o clock one.......lucky for her i was wrong....and the train for geneva leaves at 4:03.....look at this...i'm starting to memorize train times.....go me! anyways.....so she didn't know where the fuck to get her ticket or anything...so i showed her.....and then got her to the platform......andshe got on the train and i went back to my place.....started typing her...and she sent me a message.....and yea that is about it....came here...listend to music did things and now here i am...and soon i am going to go downstairs and eat and then i dunno...we'll see. So yea hm...i talked to felipe and fabien last night on the phone b4 leavingfor lausanne. That all wnet well......finally found out who candice is...casue like and idiot...i forget everything........like people's names...even if they are my neighbor's........but lucky for me....i have that written down on a piece of paper that is lying next to me. So that's all grove.....anwyays i guess that is all

3:19pm......okay if by now you haven't figured out that all these times are probably gonna be local....time....you're a little slow on the take.....but who know maybe one day i will write the time and it will be the time in austin...or in Tokyo (and for the record...yes this one is in local time)
Okay so i thought yesterday was goning really slow....but i ran into karin....and she told me she'd call when she got back form geneva......well she got back at like 10:22 and we went out. Had some drinks at one place....that like brewed its own. It was pretty good.....kinda reminded me of the brewery in f-burg. So yea....we talked about anything and everything. She's pretty open to talking about anything...like i am....so that was cool. And then after that we walked around lausanne for a bit and went to another place called le bleu lizard i think. and there we had some more to drink. That was cool. anwyas afterwards we walked tothe train station looking for someone, failed...and then we ended up back at her place....drank some more and then we talked...and there was even some dancing . We talked some more.....
after talking and watching some euromtv and dancing and waht not.....we kind crashed out......I woke up at 730 randomly.....which is about the time i usually wake up...i was tired.....not too bad of a hangover....and i got karin awake and we talked some more...i didn't feel like going to class....and she sort of did and sort of didn't....i figured i would jsut arrive there late....like 930 or so....so i played some sex pistols on her stereo..and bugged her....it was funny.....I jsut played a sog or 2 and then shut it off and then we both crashed out again......i woke up again at about 930 and figured this time i wold have to get up and go to class....i woke karin up and asked her if she was going to class...she said no and i was like okay...well i am off....i'll see ya later...gimmie a call or something.......she has to work today so i dunno from what time to what time it is...so whatever....i dunno....and yea i got to class at about 10....just in time for the break...so then i got b-fast went back to class...ate and reviewed what i had missed for the 1st half of class......so not too shabby. .....that is just about it for today.........I have a lot of french work to do today....
and before anybody gets any crazy ideas.....let me state that nothing happened......yes that is right...nothing happened for you people whose minds may have been in the gutter while reading this
october 13th
Lausanne, Vaud
my "castle"
7:49pm .........................local time
Okay so something is definately up in this place. Here is what I think....now all of these are just inferences and guesses......i don't have much physcial evidence or anything but....well whatever ...just check it
okay first of all.....swiss welfare seems to be very very generous. So my understanding....by what someone try to expalin to me in french, is that the governemnt has dumped some people here who have nowhere to go and nothing in this world. These people are young and have like no family or anything. Now I can't tell who falls in this category but i know of at least one. I don't know his name but he is a pretty cool guy. Whatelse......oh yea....yesterday as i was walking in.....2 police looking guys were walking out......ithink they were more like social services. Anyways i could here this chick down the hall screaming and yelling and crying....and this is all in french of course. But i knew who the girl was....i awlasy see her around....and she has a baby. I have no clue how old this girl is....but she looks really young.....and i think she falls into this welfare category......or maybe she barely misses it. Anyways.....more people kept comming in and out of the place like talking to her.....but since then i haven't seen her with her kid. So i am going out on a limb that her baby was taken away by the state. I'm not going ot bother to ask......well maybe rosina would know. Speaking of which......last night i was walking through one of the dining rooms and i came across her and this other dude......i was hungry so i asked them if there was a vending machine that sold food around here....she said no and asked me if i was hungry...and i was like yea......so she went back to her roomand came back with some food. So i thought that was really cool andn ice......i tired not to eat too much. Anyways......so it was me her and this other dude from france ...who goes to a univestiy here and is studying music. He speak very little english.....so i had to work on my french skills. Anways....so the group of 3 started to grow...and it ended up being me, rosina, the french dude...who's name i forget....the one dude on welfare i discussed earlier (but i could be wrong withthe fact he is on welfare) This other dude i don't know who he is....and then some othe dude who i hadn't seen before...his name is liam i think, Rory...which is this dude i jsut met last night...he is Liam's freind and he is from Toranto...so that was cool. He was telling me he was visiting a firend here and just traveling. And then for a bit there was this blonde haired chick......i don't know anything about here.....anwyays she kinda bounces all over the place....and then on my right was the chick i mentioned earlier ...whose baby i think was taken by the state or something. So everyone was talking to one another......I picked up on a lot...and Rosina helped me out. Oh shit i totally forgot......i met a columbian here! However she doesn' know spanish or remmebrs columbia. From what I undewrstnad ....she was adopted by a swiss-german couple. So for a bit i was excitied ...but then i leanred she didn't know spanish oranything. She plays guitar and was with us for a bit playing. And Rosina wanted me to sing greenday while she played it...so we did that. Then after awhile we started just making lyrics and chords up.
Oh shit.....some funny thing i saw on tv yesterday while we were sitting at the table....Felipe would have loved some of the shit they were showing. It was on the eurosport channel...and they were taking clips of sport things that had happen recently...and with some they would dub music over them. Anways some of the tihngs they showed were bad ass and other were funny....like one of the ones i tihnk felipe would have liked.....(of course they are gonna be the soccer clips) This goalie got scored on and he was pist the fuck off....so he gets up runs over to the goal post and drop kicks it really hard....like the whole goal shook.....it was funny.....and some dude this this awesome goal...i don't even know how to descirbe it....it require pencil and paper...but its like he ran into a defender and a goalie....right in the penalty box...he passes the ball right through the defender's legs....and the goalie is rushing him...so this dude just kicks the ball off to the right and then he takes off to the left as the goalie tries to get the bal......the dude runs completely around the goalie....meanwhile the ball is rolling off to the side...so the dude has to run to the opposite side and taps it in....i dunno...its something u'd have to see......i am sure all you die hard soccer fans reading this (pure sarcasm) would have loved to see it. Anyways.....oh yea and another thing was that some dude was on the ground and tis other guy kicked the ball into is stomach/nuts.......so the dude gets up pist off....picks up the ball with his hands and throws it atthe guy...and he is like ready to kick his ass.....everyone came rushing in it was crazy....Lets see...moving away from the soccer clips lets see what else they showed......ho yea two guys are playing a tennis match....one of them hits the ball softly and it barely goes overthe net...wit hthe move the whole crowd starts to boo...well somehoe his opponent was quick enough...hauls ass to the front and hits the ball hard.....but he stays up front...so the dude does a hard hit this time making his opponent run all the way back...somehow he manages to whack the ball...and the process repeats once more....the corwd is still booing.....but somehow...making the dude run back and forth didn't work....and he scored the point......it was funny. They showed a first person view of a nascar wreck...they showed some car flip over several times......there was another clip with rally cars and some dude took this turn ...loses control but doesn't wreck.....goes through all this tough shit...and comes out fine.....then on a straightaway right befroe a turn he hits a tree.....The most painful one was they showed a street border grind...and he fucks up and falls and completely landson his wrist.....they showed it in slow mo and you could see like this thing sticking out....so you know he broke something...After all that Boliva vs Uruguay was comming on...but by that time i was fuckin tired and went off to crash. Today class was fine.......studying future tense.....and usuage and what not.............so yea i guess that is all for today's events
11:54.....local time.....all else equal
well i wnet out for a walk a litle after dinner and i came across rosina and the columbian girl whose name is sandy...i think....say that all frnech sounding and you got her name. So Rosina was teaching her how to skate.....and what not. Rosina has two longboards.....so i had fun with one. And then we were jsut boarding and screwing around. We came back after awhile and we came across rory and the frnech dude. Then some other dude joined us....turns out he is chilean....from santiago is what he said...i think. Anyways..... Um.....boarded some more...just hung out...kinda cool...its nice to have people around to chill with. I asked Rosina about her clothes casue i told her i needed some and was just wondering where to get things more to my taste. So she tried to explain to me...i was clueless....and then she told me someday when i have time she would show me. She seems like a really cool person....and i learned something.....she is not into guys who are like....i guess really mushy or something.....or too sweet or whatever. Becasue when me and her got on the elevator a second ago tocome back t oour rooms the chilean dude came up and asked for a small kiss....she rejected him....unlike this other chick...the one i mentioned earlier who is blonde and i have no idea of anything about her. But that was jsut a kiss on the cheek...so nothing too serious....but hwatever. And it was funny casue that blonde hcick was in one of the diningrooms and we were outside...and the chilean dude goes in and is hittin on her...and gave her a massage...it was funny. We were all going off on that one....making signs through the window and stuff. Well I guess that is all........
October 17
Chateau D'Oex, Vaud
bedroom
256pm local time
So i am here in chateau doex....there is a bit of snow up in the mountains......its slowly gets closer to the town...so its interesting. Came here yesterday from Lausanne.......speaking of yesterday Martina was in town. She told me she would be in lausanne at 1033am and i was like ...oh sweet we'll kick it. So we hung out. Went to my place dropped off her shit and chilled for a bit. Then we went out walked by the lake.....had some lunch She had a kebab and i settled for a hot dog. Not too shabby i must say....though quite different...and in some ways practical....and in others not very...but whatever. Okay so we then went back to my place...listend to music...chilled some more and ran around the city and went back to my palce got her things there was a knock at the door. It freaked me out.....it was the manager. He was saying that my sister has been tr4yijg to call, but my phone was off the hook. Apparently it was something urgent.. Well her taain was about to leave So okay we walk to the trainstation and i call helene since my cell phone has been having some retard-o p-roblems........i tihnk i bought a defective piece of shit. Anyways So i call helene...tell i will call but i will call her ack in 5 mins thjat i am going to see martina off. So i did and i called back. She told me she had gotten news that mom wasn't doing os well again....so i started to freak out. Got the times for the trains and went back packed somethings and left...and on my way out the door, i told the manmager that if my sister calls to tell her i left for chateau d'oex already. He said okay ...so i missed the 6pm train to montreux...so i took the 639 one and got a connedting one in montreux. Got here.....had dinner and called home......so apparently mom was doing better. She is responsive again and what not....the docs ran tests and found outthat she isn't getting enough of a blood flow through some of the small veins around i guess where they pinched the vein...i am not entirely surei get it....anwyas....i might try calling again tonight....jsut ot make sure all goes well. I talked to Olga...my aunt who i haven't seen since i was 8 yrs old or so. I aslo talked ot Fransico and Gloria and felipe. Anyways i am thinking i will come back to visit and check up on this when i get my holidays. So i am looking for flights for around dec/jan and i would be in the states for only 2 weeks or so. There is a lfight that has my fly from Amsterdam to Memphis......i am sure that will be tons of fun......hopefully it won't be too bad. Lets see....there was another that had me fly to munich and then from there i tihnk NYC.....that one isn't looking too bright tohugh. So i tihnk i will fly form Geneva to amsterdam ...and then memphis and hten austin...however nothing has been confrimed yet. Hopefully nothing will go bad in the meantime. I am kinda worried about it...but i try not to think about it too much....casue then i will lose focus on everything. Friday was an alright day...took another exam...we finished the book...so now we move on to the next level books....um...we had to bring in a song and tell what its about. I ended up bringing Hot Chocolate's You sexy thing......or whatever the fuck that osng is called....sang some of it i nfrnech....and i danced all over the palce. And i tricked Isabella so she would dance.....i handed her the cd since she was closest to the cd player and told her to put it in....when she put it in...i came up behind and told her i forgot to tell her the number...and i pretended i didn't know what i was doing and how to make the machine to work.....so then i quick;y push play and grab her by the hand as the music starts and we dance. I have never seen anyone turn so red in my life. The whole class was laughing and everything so it was great....she went with it though...so we danced for a bit...i then let her go and mvoed on to everyone else in the class. I first went to the teacher and she wasn't up for the dancing.....but i still dii it....i ended up sitting in a person's lap and climbing up over the tables and everything. It was wonderful. After that class on friday darcy and helene visted me and i had a rich man's lunch.....PIZZA HUT.....which for the recrod is fucking expensive here. Um....yea....so that this entry just kinda progressed back in time....but i am sure many of you don't care...jsut as i am sure many of you just skim over this becasue these entries tend to be long and sometime crappy. Oh well i think its all i have to say...... |

[Sep. 27th, 2004|06:30 pm] |

one....went to luzern on sat.....missed the early train ...took a later one....all was cool.......came back on sunday...left my laptop on a train...reported it...and missed yet another train...but this time....it wasnt casue we werent there...it was casue the conducter didnt stop while my sister was struggling to get on with her luggage....so i just bailed and we had her hubby pick us up....we were only 30 mins away
two........on saturday night while in luzern went to my cousin's freind's b-day shin dig.......not to shabby. Learned some swiss german.....becasue yes...it is quite different that normal german....Met some interesting people....talked to this chick named Martina....who is part swiss part italian....she was pretty cool. Lets see whatelse........um......got my laptop fixed casue my cousin is pretty fuckin smart when it comes to computers ....so now i have win98.......in french...but some of the apps are also in german.....but it get by. I still have my scripts and pics....but now i gotta see if my camera software will work......um....one of my mp3 cds doesnt work on my laptop...oh well.......um.....yea.....whatelse........i guess we are done with two
thre....today was the 1st day of class.......took the placement test....which if i may say so....was so friggen hard for me.....i wasn't in the frnech mode.....so ithought i did as shiity as humanly possible.......when in reality i didnt.....i mean there was some shit i didnt get though.....but yea i was palced and started class immediately.....i am the youngest person in my class i believe....the next youngest would be this chick who sits on my right who is from poland.....she's 24 i believe......although there is a chance that this ukranina chick is near my age. I dont know though....i didnt ask...but she sits across from me....and she kept looking at me......actually i think it was more my hair. So lets see whatelse...in my class....there are 2 turks, one brit, one thai, one chinese, one polish chic, a ukranian, a hungarian, and someone from bangladesh......what are the called.....i feel like calling them bangles.....jsut bc i think it sounds cool....but its prolly retarded to everyone else. So um...for several hours it was nothing but non stop rapid french...everyone had to introduce themselves and talk about their country for awhile. most people in the class know some minimal english......nobody knows spanish though....so i guess i am alone i nthat dept. Um.....oh shit....interesting thing.....after class me and sis were walking and we saw like three young dudes haul ass around a corner and down the street and i was like oh look a robbery.....i was kidding though.......10 seconds later this well dressed woman comes running arounbd the corner like pist as shit. we overheard some of the things that this lady was saying to other people....and she was asking is anyone had seen these kids running.

| lalalalalala so here is an normal update |
[Sep. 24th, 2004|07:22 pm] |
i am jsut wondering who the hell read the 1st entries below where igot detained by APD atthe airport...and about the swede in Newark and caroline and sandrine and what not
anyways...so like 2 daze ago my laptop went to shit and decided to go even asd far as hell with a handbasket. Ill see what i cna do about raising it back form the dead. Its a piece of shit n e wayz so whatever. So lets see......yesterda i watched lise.....let me tell u that kid is a ball of fucking energy....i was exhausted after less than an hour....and mind u i have a shit load of energy....well whatever. So u,...after that darcy came with kate....who is 6.....(lise her younger sis is like 2) anyways...darcy and sis and i talked for a bit...then i let those 2 talk and had my moments with kate. She wanted to know about Texas and what not. She brought up cowboys of course....i just went with it. Um....today...i woke up at like 730 andgot ready so me and sis could help her friend Debbie move. So we did that...it wasnàt so bad. Not as bad as ithought it would be. I am starting to say things that canadians and brits say around here instead of speaking american english. Like i am saying pub and cinema.....so yea ley see what else.....um...i went to helene's english class and helped out a bit. (she teaches this englsih class to little kids...so yea) um....watched debbie's little kid some more (i did soe earlier in the morning while cleaning and helping her move.) Her name is Ella i believe she is liek 4 months old and what not. It was the 1st tiem i held a baby for long....and took one on a walk in the stroller and what not. So tonight....i am gonna go see the village at the cin....(fuck) at the movies with Caroline and maybe sandrine. It will be in french...so i wont catch everything....but its okay....i am sure iwill figure it out...not to mention i kind of already guessed some of it when sis got back form watching it last night. It was funny...n e ways.....um...lets see what else is new....oh it hailed today! that was pretty sweet. Um...it rained all lastn ight....and i saw the ending of gone with the wind b7c helene jsut luvs the movie. Um....yea i guess that is all that is new.......I am gonan go shower and get ready for the movies.....which i am learned are expensive as hell. But i still offered to pay....so its cool...and since i got all my american cash converted to swiss francs its all gravy...plus they did pay for some of my drinks...so i owe them. So just to give people an idea of how expensive it is......imagaine a pizza.....like a small personal one in the states......and itas about the equivalent of like 13 maybe 12 bucks in american......movies are like 12 francs....so its like around 10 bucks in american.....per person........w/e...okay i am gonan shower and get rdy and shit. |

September 16
Austin, TX
Austin-Bergstrom Int’l Airport
Around 6am local time
I sit here typing on my labtop at ABIA waiting for my lfight about ahlf an hour away from departure with a story to tell you all. Ladies and gentlemen, I had my first misadventure about 10mins ago. Check this out…I am sure you will enjoy.
I got detained by 4 officers! Here’s what happened. I am an hour and half from departure time and I decide to walk around and maybe get b-fast. Well along the way I pass a security check thingy and I see this old lady getting checked…I found it kinda funny or something so I got my camera out and I started taping….its was probably only 10 seconds but a female Caucasian officer comes up to me and tells me I have to shut off the camera, so I did and next thing I know I am getting ask all this info about me, where I live, where I am going, what I was doing, etc. etc. etc. # other officers come…one black female, one Hispanic male, and one white dude….he didn’t stick around for long. This was like smack in the middle of the airport where everything is going on. My bags are gone through and checked…thoroughly, and then I am frisked….twice! I didn’t object I had nothing to hide….whatever…..i had to show the footage I shot and was asked to remove any screeners…I told them I didn’t get anything other than the old lady….and me talking…however when I played back the video I turned the volume all the way down so u couldn’t hear my comments. So yea it was an interesting experience….i have’nt even left Austin and I am already getting into shit…..not a good way to start but oh well. Oh yea so after going through everything with them…which lasted I guess 5-10mins, I go on walking,…..call felipe…get that on camera and told him what happened and that apd might call the house. Afterwards I decide to walk back towards my gate and on my way back…I come across the Hispanic cop who stops me and says he needed to get my passport number. Seriously it was crazy….anyway my flight is boarding now so I gotta run….i’ll try to go into detail later….or better yet,…if any of u are curious…just ask questions…and I will be sure to share the video with everyone……well I am off
September 16
Newark, NJ
Newark international airport
4:09 pm
So here I am watching a flight counter person dishing it out to some guy who is late and trying to get on the flight. Just got done watching this sppech kerry ws giving live at that national guard convention in Vegas. However for the past hour…or so….maybe 45 mins ….i had been sitting next to a girl I met named pernilla She was a pretty cool person. It all started like this…I was sleeping on the floor cause I was tired. It was at the gate where my flight to Geneva is to be taken. Anyways…I wake up and tyr to I find the time and I can’t find it. So I figured I would ask this girl who was sitting near where I was sleeping. So I aks her the time and she says she doesn’t know…she only has the time in sweeden. Well after a pause…I asked her about sweeden and what not and then she asked me if I wanted to learn some sweedish….so I was like yea , and sat next to her and we started talking. Sweedish isn’t too hard….its like german and romance languages put together. She told she had learned English at school casue it was mandatory and she also knew german. I gotta admit her English was pretty damn good. She told me she gets some American tv and what not and named me some shows. We also talked about music and stuff. Anyways she lives right outside of Stockholm. I snapped a picture of her before she boarded her plane to ft. Lauderdale, which is where she is going to meet some friends. She has traveled a lot. She also told me about Scandinavian airlines where each seat has a PS and she watched troy, and had some wine. I finally caught her age, she was 19. She was a pretty cool chick…and I learned some sweedish. So one misadventure, and a new acquaintance. Not too shabby if u ask me. I still got like 2 hours until my flight boards I think………you know what…I should’ve gotten her email address or something….god I feel like an ass ….oh well.
September 18
Chateau D’oex, Vaud
On the balcony of helene’s house
About 1 pm local time (take away 7 hours from my time and you have central time)
Well here I am in chateau d’oex….i am not going to sit here and adjust all the characters to show the true French spelling and what not so…if you are really that interested….look it up. So I am sitting here typing this with a cat that looks like Garfield (it’s the neighbors cat) chilling feet away from me and listening to the cow bells. Around this time they march the cows down from the mountain and parade them through the little town. I just saw then go by like 5 mins ago. Sadly I didn’t get it on tape b/c the battery was dead. I hooked up the power converter and reviewed the tape to figure out why my batter was dead. I accidently had left it running on the plan because I taped something that I thought was funny. On my way fron Newark to Geneva we were served dinner. And behold what were given to us as eating utensils……silverware. Here we are in the middle of this scare that terrorist are going to attack again. People can’t board a plane with nail filers, box cutters, certain types of mirror…(trust me I checked) yet what are we being given to eat!?!?!?! A metallic spoon, fork, and yes…even the knife, so I decided to get my camera out and video tape this. Anyway the flight was shorter than last time …then again it was from Atlanta to Zurich last time. I got off the plane and went through the passport checkers with no problem…hell its so easy here they don’t even stamp your passport….hell they barely look at it…it took a whopping 2 seconds. I got my baggage and since I had nothing to declare, customs consisted of me walking through a green doorway. Nobody stopped me or anything. I find sis with no problem and step out of the airport and holy shit I though it was cold. I could see my own breath. And here I am with some pants and a short sleeved shirt. The cat just moved…and he is eyeing the Garfield slippers I have on…..okay not he is licking himself….moving on.
So the drive from the airport to hear seemed quick, it was really like 2 hrs though. But I was looking at tings and talking with sis. We decided I should learn how to drive through this country as well……so we might pursue that…but in reality after seeing people drive here…it would be…I dunno odd for me. People only honk if like there is some serious impending danger, people are polite here…but I dunno if I could follow the crosswalk rule. Basically on the street you find these yellow lines which is like a crosswalk…and if a car ever hits someone while they are walking on the crosswalk they’re in one giant ass shit storm and have hell to pay. So basically someone could jump onto the crosswalk and I could be literally centimeters (gotta get used to using that since here is metric system….at this time I would also like to announce that I am not longer 5 feet 7 or 8 inches…I am 1 meter and like 60-something cm….or something like that….i can’t remember…well I got the lbs into kilos and the kilometers into miles part down…oh and the feet into meters…) anyways as I was saying…I could be driving and be a cm away from the crosswalk and this guy could jump right in front of my and it would be my fault. Of course I don’t think anyone here would do that…afterall this is Switzerland …not America.Plus it’d be kinda expensive it could depends on the canton though of how much it’ll be (canton…it’s the equivalent of canada’s provices, or USA’s states, or colombia’s departments I’ve met some more interesting people here…many of them being women. Well my sister is done making lunch iam gonna go eat and everything and continue this in a bit. (20 mins later) okay I am back. Me her and bro in law sat down and ate and talked and started watching the news. I was picking up a bit of French here and there. Anyways back to what I was saying. I’ve met several people here…many of them being women. I seriously think there are like a lot more women in this town then men. Or maybe I just don’t see the men or something. I’ve met a couple around my age. I get comments about my hair…all good ones. And I got a comment about how I look latino which is a good thing so yea. I still haven’t seen Beznik (sp?) Beznik is this Albanian dude I met the first time I came to Switzerland. (Feel free to take this time and look where Albania is if you don’t where it is…I have a feeling that is a majority of you) Me him and felipe would always go out and play soccer and stuff so it was pretty cool. There is this chick that works at the bakery that my sister’s stepson owns. Her name is caroline (say that with like a French accent and you got her name) She’s pretty cool, she know some English, so we talk. Yesterday I met her and then later on the day as I was walking back with Helene (my sister) to her place we came across her again and she invited me to have a drink with her sometime soon. So we’ll see if that happens tonight or tomorrow or something. As far as I know she was born in Suisse (that’s Switzerland for the record) and she is 21 yrs old. She has her nose pierced and I guess that is all I can say. Hopefully we can get a drink tonight casue I don’t wanna sit in hs house all day, plus its nice to be able to talk to someone from a different culture and she could help me with my French…and I can help her with her English, but so far, everything I’ve heard has been flawless, so I think it will be more her helping me. Other people I’ve met that speak English are this british friend of Helene’s, a Canadian who works like at this min market thing, and Darcy who I met last time I was here who is also Canadian. She is another of helene’s friends. Oh and I also met caroline’s friend like right before lunch, her name is Sandine. She was working at the bakery so caroline could rest. Its suppose to be caroline and this other chick working the bakery, but now caroline has to do it by herself because the other chic got in a wreck or something…I dunno but either way something happened and she can’t work for the moment. So caroline had to do it alone and she gets exhausted. So today her friend came and did her morning shift. The two look a lot alike, except Sandine has like blonde hair and her tongue it pierced. I don’t recall Caroline’s tongue being pierced. But Sandine also speak some English like Caroline, and they both have this accent so yea. *sigh…….(snaps out of daydream) sorry about that..anyways….yea… I was totally kidding about that daydream part…I still love my (I am sure Lauren will enjoy the next three words….and I use them in her honor) white breaded bitches back in the states. Of course I can’t forget all my brown sugared bitches too (okay I just made that brown sugared bitches thing up right on the spot. But I had to come with something for everyone who isn’t white) For those of you offended by being refered to as a brown sugared or white breaded bitch….consider yourself off the list of white breaded/ brown sugared bitches as of right now. For those of you white breaded bitches who want to be moved to the brown sugared bitches list…plz let me know asap so I can make these changes…same goes to you brown sugared bitches who wish to be moved to the white breaded bitches list. Well lets see I guess there is nothing left to report…I think when the shops open back up we are going to go back to the bakery cause Helene needs to talk to Caroline and she is suppose to be there. I think sometime we might go help her at the bakery. Hell if I can do shit in a Thai/ Singaporean restaurant a bakery shouldn’t be a problem. School starts in 10 days and I get my place on Oct. 1st in Lausanne. I won’t have a phone in my room, cause I don’t feel like paying extra …however it is a possibility that I could get a cell phone here…this doesn’t mean I can make calls to the US…well I could but it would cost me money. Not little money either. I will let you all know as soon as I get an address. Anyways I am going to see if I can put some camera software on this computer so then maybe I can share pictures with u all….if I know how to post them up on the site…..well au revoir for now.
September 19
Chateau d’oex, vaud
My temp bedroom in helene’s house
6:37pm (local time)
So today was a pretty cool day. Got out of bed at 8am or so and wentto church….no that is not why my day was cool. Afterwards me and helene came back and then we got some food ready and had like this picnic with her hubby and his 2 sons and me. We went up to the mountain and ate and then we satthere and checked out the mountain bike race that was going to happen. It was the swiss championship. I had my camera so I took some pictures and got some vid clips. I’ve filled up a tape and am working on a second one. I am gonna see if I can buy some miniDV tapes here that work with the NTSC system or something…otherwise…I am going to have to have mom or felipe send me a shitload. Anyways the bike race was bad ass….people wiped put and fucked themselves up and what not. There was music playing at the finish line and I heard some sublime and a lot of Bad Religion…I am sure felipe would’ve enjoyed that. Caroline called here like not to long. I was on the phone with my mom and after I got off with her the other line rang and helene got it and it was caroline. I went downstairs cause I couldn’t find my Garfield slippers and picked up some of the French helene was talking and figured it was caroline. So as a joke I got some paper and wrote one of fiddler on the roof’s song chorus. I wrote the matchmaker one and held it up. I did it casue once me and helene burst out into that song out of random…so I figured I’d have fun with that. Don’t worry I only meant it as a joke….plus I don’t need no stinkin matchamaker! Actually I do…but I can lie to all of you anyways. So nobody reading this get excited or (for those who actually may want to hook up with me in the future…if any) sad that I am off the market. I don’t think that’ll happen. I am not caroline’s (as miss sicking would put it) bread and butter. I gotta show all of you the kind of views I get looking out my window….you’d think it was a backdrop. Anyways me and caroline are gonna go out tonight, have some drinks and what not. Helene doesn’t really drink so she’s just gonna chill here with her hubby and Jacques. My goal is still to get helene drunk as hell sometime. Some of you may be thinking…wait…ya’ll are going out to drink on a Sunday…man its gonan suck if u have a hangover tomorrow. Well lucky for us tomorrow is a swiss holiday…at least for the French speaking cantons it is. Sadly tomorrow Helene has to goto work because she works in the next canton which is a german speaking on. So lets see what else can I say….. I am going to see about going to see Groove Armada who plays in my birthday (to those you have the memory of a goldfish…or worse, like me…my birthday is oct 11) also I am gonna see if I can see the prodigy who are playing in nov sometime….the problem is that I would have to go near Zurich….or Zurich itself to go see them….and that is in german speaking Switzerland….and its In the middle of the week and I don’t want to miss class. Well we’ll see how everything plays out I guess I will end my entry here.
September 20
Chateau d’oex, Vaud
My bedroom in helene’s house
9:47am
So here I am up and early…already had b-fast. Before leaving, helene squeezed me some orange juice..so that was really cool. They ran out of pain du chocolat at the boulangerie ….so I settled for something else. And now here I am listening to music and typing yet another entry. So last night….i am sure at least one person out there is curious as to what happened…well…if you are too bad ‘casue I am not telling…just kidding. Um…okay well hm….caroline came by like 9ish last night and we went out not too far from the house and started drinking at the bar. We talked about anything and everything, it was like non stop talking…it was fun. I met some other young people, she introduced me, several speak like minimal English but nothing as good as caroline or Sandrine. (wow quick interruption here. I am listening to vanilla sky and just looked out my window….how fitting…anyways…moving on) Speaking of Sandrine, she ended meeting up with us and she came with this chick who is part brazilian and speaks fluent Spanish her name is like shanrika…..i think….i dunno anyways so we chilled there for a bit and afterwards we went to the other side of town to another bar…that is on top of a club….which Sandrine went on to show me. In fact while we were down there I brought up tequila, casue the other bar didn’t have it, and she is like let’s have some shots! So we get 2 tequilla shot and down em, and I meet the dj for this club. This guy is a French black dude who speaks some English. This guy I swear to god looks like Carl Cox and coach guillory put together. It was pretty crazy. Anyways this club called la bamba was alright, there dancefloor was very small….like my bedroom back in the states type of small. Okay well maybe not that small….but trust me it was small, nobody was dancing or anything. So me and Sandrine went back upstairs and went back to my drink that I had left up there. Speaking of which I completely forgot to mention something I am sure ryan and Charlie would enjoy hearing, but this bar serves a beer we all have experiences with (especially ryan) and as soon as I saw it I ordered it……come on…you can guess it…………take a couple seconds………….i hope you said Singha as your guess. But yea Singha! I couldn’t believed they offer that here. Okay so anwyas I finished drinking the singa and someone offered me some beer that they had in what they call a giraffe. Basically imagine a really tall bong with a tap towards the bottom. Its not a beer bong…so don’t think it is. Anyways the giraffe was filled this local beer called Carlsbad I think….i dunno…either way it was pretty good. Lets see so after that we went to the other club here called Zenith. This was pretty cool, as I was walking in they were spinning something like the song jook girl….or culo. (I wonder if any of you know what the hell I am talking about…well….whatever…moving on) We walk in and it was pretty awesome. I never knew you could get people on the dancefloor with shit from Rage against the machine’s first album. Everyone there sang along “fuck you I won’t do what you tell me!” It was pretty cool. Lets see…this guy also spun some beastie boys…and chemical brothers! “Hey girl….hey boy…….superstar dj’s……HERE WE GO!!!!” That video has been stuck in my head since last night. So yea…I learned something interesting yesterday about swiss people and clubs. This is something that seriously made my jaw drop…..this is gonna be something that is gonna bug me for awhile……but they always dance alone in clubs. Like seriously they never dance with anyone. I asked caroline and Sandrine about it. Its like….nobody knows how to dance with someone else. I tried so hard to convince caroline to dance with someone…be it me Sandrine another person, an animal…whatever…she didn’t. Sandrine…after some convincing joined me and I tried to show her what people do in the states…it was funny as hell. Afte awhile I was too busy laughing that I couldn’t go on and we just did some simple ballroom dancing just for shits and giggles. However I have made it one of my top goals to get people here to dance with each other. However I think I will need some help….so if someone could get 2 people to dance to some music and video tape it in mini dv format and send it over so I can show them….i would be very thankful. Or better yet…..if I could get people here…that would be great too. We are going to see if the city clubs are like that too….i am gonna hope its just a chateau d’oex thing and not a majority swiss thing. But if it is…holy shit…..i am going to begin a dancefloor reform movement. So lets see…..after being at zenith for awhile we left and sandrine walked home with these two other people and me and caroline began out trek back. We talked some more, it wasn’t like boring half assed chat, it was a realistic convo with real interest. So we came across helene’s house and I told her I would walk with her more since I knew the town a little better. It took some convincing but finally we agreed I would walk her halfway to her place. We talked some more…continued comparing cultures and all that other stuff. It was kind cold outside but I was surviving. She was obviously used to it. So lets see.;….finally we got the halfway point …talked a little bit more and bid each other good night…yadda yadda. Before I leave to visit my aunt in luzern this Saturday we’re gonna try to get together. So I am thinking Friday night probably. She expressed she had wanna see The village which starts playing sometime this week I think in the cinema here. (its small and they show one movie a week….a week before I got here they were playing king Arthur…..*sigh ……keria kinghtley…..can’t believe I missed her……..anyway) Last time I checked they were showing Garfield. The movies here are sometimes shown in their original language…..but I think that is more in Gastaad. Here….most of the movies are dubbed in french. So we’ll see about going to see the village. I know people who ssaid the movie sucked hardcore but you know what…..who cares…I’ll get some French out of it. (as in the language…not like a French kiss……) You know what…what do French people call a French kiss….i should ask that….i am sure its just like how u say kiss in french but I just thought I’d ask that question….because I am a bit cuckoo. Okay holy shit I am going nuts cause I just said something really retarded. Well I guess that is all I have to say for now. So when something else happens I will let you know.
Oh shit u know what. I forgot in my last entry to mention that I visited darcy like Saturday night. I met like a crap laod of her inlaws that live here. I met some dude my age and his sister…also my age who knows English really well. In fact probably better than caroline and Sandine…..but I could be wrong. Anyways their chalet it like apart from the main town and have some animals. It was funny casue I was walking with helene and saw the horses and what not…but there was like this wire with this…god I dunno how to explain it…soi won’t try. Anwyas but there is this wirse and I had heard that its supposed to shock whatever touches it. Its meant to keep the animals in an area. So yea I wasn’t sure though and neither was Helene so she’s like…”go check” I was like are you serious! That is something like what Ryan would tell me to do Yea she hadn’t even realized like what she had said so I found it funny. And she finally caught on as to what she has said and what not. Anyways now I believe that is all I have ot sya….i have beentyping for awhile,…..i am gonan go do stuff.
(30 mins later)oh yea and I completely forgot to share with ya’ll (damn that is so Texan) about something I found out caroline is interested in…Michael moore. She saw bowling for columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 and she’s read some of his books I believe. She is trying to find Stupid White Men in French but hasn’t found it. So I told her I would try to find out and see if there is such thing. So if anyone reading this would like to help a brotha out….(don’t ask) …..please see if you can find out if there Is such thing as a French translation of stupid white men. And if there is lemme know where I can get it and for how much. Okay food is here…I am off….
….holy hell as I was finishing this helene came in here and was like “eat ur pizza with a fork and knife….to which I let out some obscenities…I’ve never eaten a pizza with a fork and knife…….i swear some things in Europe are fuckin odd…at least it’s a fun place….
well I am off |

The straight to geneva where the supposed flight time is like 8hrs...but last time i went to switzerland and they said the flight was 8 hrs....it was really closer to 12 and that is one HELL of a big difference. Okay i dunno waht else to say......
I typed an entry some mins ago and it didn't work....so i am gonna make this one brief....sorta. Um...yea my hed still hurts from the gallon of syrup drinking/ cheating our way to a free meal. If you haven't heard this sotry just ask...or ask will and tommy...okay i got shite to do.... |
