Time of My Life

'It's something unpredictable, but in the end its right......i hope you had the time of your life'

fuck cliches but im sorry....this was the greatest week ever, with its own wacky charm, this is the greatest festival in the world. I get all those foregin directors who get up and say that this is thier favorite festival ever. I get why 280 kids apply to be worked like dogs, for no money, but just to be a part of an amazing organization. I get why my dad has been going for 7 stragight years, and even missing a good friends wedding for it. I get why i slept for an average of 3-4 hours out of 24 (skewed heavily by one 'night' (by night i mean 24 hour period as the night is a fulll on partyyyy) of 6 hrs) and yet never felt tired, or exhausted.

I met so many people that are just, the nicest and friendliest people ever, a mutual friend introduces us, and within 30 minutes, im dancing with them, giving them my beer (while i still had it) and they were giving me thiers when they had it and mine was drank or being delivered. A boss of mine walked right up to me, and just plastered a giant kiss on my cheek, just straight up SMACCCCKER!!!!! hahahaha. The people are great, and no offense to you miami cats, but its a different culture when it comes to drinks and paying :).....in a hard concept for you my jewish frends to accept ;) people actually fight over who will pay for the round, and get mad if u attempt to pay if they feel that this one is on them, or its their turn to pay, even girls. The whole scence is just so laid back, there was no fights (and there was like 10,000 people who are hammered, in a city that is maybe 1 square mile) and no fights, no arguments......no drama.....perhaps its cause people here are not as repressed, socially and mentally. No one says lets get drunk, everyone says lets get a beer, the girls drink like men, and never say 'woah im so wasted' none of them parade on the ground, telling us how they are drunk....infact no one ever says they are drunk. I think that the repressed stigma the purtians attached to sex, and drinking in america is sad, people are made to feel bad if they wanna drink, infact, they have made it that drinking is actually doing something and as such it makes it a big deal.

I'm gonna have a hard time adapting to the fact that i cant go to a caffe, and order a beer, or a jager, or a medica (honey liker), or that drinking is an event again. So i will impose an new system amongst my amigos.....

1. No more saying that tonite we are getting drunk becuase, that can only happen on the following occasions (birthdays, weddings (pava, hahaha), end of exams etc) and even then we are celebrating something, drinking is the side thing

2. no more light beers

3. no more bud or miller, lest it be a last dying resort

4. shooters are not always need to be shot, sometimes sipping it over the course of 2-3 minutes is better

5. drinking with women is better then with guys, well not miami women (excluding some kick ass miami women, they know who they are, and dani who dont drink but is cool none the less cause she doesnt give in, which is admirable)

6. its a nice world withouth kids with attitude and thug bullshit....so no gangstas

7. older people rock....they have moved past the early 20s and late teens and have a better outlook on life and whats important, and you can talk to them about anything.

8. and most crucial....no going to bed at 2 or 3 cause u feel asleeep or are tired....thats lame...seeing the sun rise is the shit....an evening starts at 10 and ends at anytime from 6 till when....after 6 it can keep on going all next day for all i care.

So to be honest, i have to say, that partywise, these nights have been the best i have had, the crazyiest atmosphere with such cool people, great varietys of music, free flowing alcohol, also perhaps since i worked with mostly girls, i hung out with mostly girls, also more volunteers were girls....so it aint bad to be one guy dancing and having 3-4 girls around you, and at times more aint bad. (But it trade em all for dani...... :) or would i....hahahhahahahhahaha.....course i would!!! i miss my lil dani)

so yeah i did have the time of my life, and i hope to go back next year....but i hope i dont go alone, tristan im gonna make come, pava i already told has to come...and the rest of you dont write me emails....so fuck ya allll :)

p.s. dani is cool cause she been to croatland, and made it back alive

so dani 1, tristan gets .5 cause he is learning croat, the rest of my loser frends get a fat 0, well ill give pava .1 cause he writes me emails :)
