Midway

So it dawned on me as we were taking dani to the airport yesterday that i have come to the midway point of my trip, give or take a day or 3. A month and a half since i left, and yet it doesnt feel that long in a sense, i dont actually think i have been gone from miami for that long. However when i think back to Italia, Seeing Milano was almost years ago, as if its a distant memory, an experience i had in another life, perhaps thats why its other worldly, or maybe thats just the charm of the San Siro. Lucca feels the same way, a distant memory, an dreamlike experience i had a lifetime ago and yet it was less then 3 weeks ago. Firenze is a little different, waking up and going to bed in Porta Prato is like Miami, a second ago, its right there, as is the long walk down Via Prato towards the Piazza della Repubblica, but the thoughs of Uffici Gallery are old, again far away and very distant. Rome is the same way, the hostel i see myself in it as if it was a a few hours ago, or sitting on the terrace, but walking the Palatine, or navigating the Roman streets, and even shuttling our way thorugh the Mvsei Vaticani towards La Capella Sistina is all so far away.

Maybe there is so much to see, that your are overloaded, and feel crushed by it all, thats what gives it that magical aspect, that its all so old, making you think that you were there ages ago, as if perhaps your were there in its hayday.

Anyways enough of my psyho gibberish babble.

Dani left yesterday, and its strange without her, and yet its more normal. In a sense her not being with me is unnatural and yet its more natural without her (the use of croatian suffered in her presence ;) ) so maybe thats what i getting this from. But overall i hope she had a good time, I mean it was an experience and i wouldnt trade any part of it for anything, we all made some bond (yes lunie tuney also) and now share a very uniting experience, kinda like melo and me have for NY, but a longer one, where we were far more independent and dependent upon eachother.

Again back to dani, i miss the little one, and i hope you miami punks take good care of her, but dont ask for any stories just yet cause you gotta wait for me and lil l to get there cause they need all 3 parts.

Now onto some funny ass shit...
After droping dani off, we head back and plan to go see War of the Worlds, but we go to like a Klub, but not like that, its a klub where u can only go in as a member, you need a card at the door to get in and open the door, inside is a relaxed atmosphere, with tables and people sitting around eating and drinking....its like a old boys club where people can just come and hang out...anyways there is this drunk artist there....A friend of my dad and his girlfriend, so they ask luna if she has a boyfriend and luna giggles, and i tell me she has but he is a little burnt, and the artist goes...HE IS BLACK?!?!....Luna goes yeah, and he spends the next 10 minutes telling her how wonderful it is that her horizons are wide, that she has such an open mind and yada yada yada, meanwhile he is drunk as hell repeating himself over and over, and im laughing my ass off.....then about 10 minutes later he says, 'you are my idol' cause Luna is so embracing and open minded, and all that, as if poor alex is a pity case and luna needs to date a black man cause its a good thing to do...hahahhahaha....i wish alex had come we would of had so much fun just seeing peoples reactions to vanilla and chocolate and get to hear how wonderful it is that they can make it. then about 20 minutes later he repeats himself and goes 'well im suprised why none of the women have asked you if its true' and the whole table erupts, and he is like, what its a legitemate question, and his fiance is like laughing half out of her own self being tipsy and half in embarassment, luna is looking like a fresh ripe tomato, and im laughing my ass off....finally luna confirms the roumors of black heat.....and then they talk about penises, and then it moves to small ones and what is a small one, at which point the drunked artists tells luna that she cant comment as she is above this conversation, he keeps asking what is a small one, and the women all say small is small and big is big....funny shit....luna was twisting in her chair....price less


now then onto more stuff

i hope eddie and melo have a great time in NY.....pava all the best in the triatholon and fuck those niggers for not taking you ;).....Orlando, hope you having fun with Bacardi and work.....Brain hope the summer at FIU aint too bad....Ivan, dont make illegitemate kids in Nicaragua, do have fun though, but make sure she aint a paper bagger....Alex, keep dancing cause Mike is free, enjoy your puppy cuase im jacking that shit when i come back....Twins, enjoy your time together cause you about to be seperated and well it wont be the same for either of you, treasure your better half....Tristan, stop being a fucking fagget and check your email and write back or else you wont get a postcard till i hand it to your ass in Miami....


Dani,

Alot to write so ill try to squeez it all in

we went to dubrovnik and it was as beautiful as i remember....amazing city.....

we caught a boat every day to lokrum which is the island in the bay that we went to the beach and swam at everyday.....well swam for me...took dani 3 days to get fully in as she claimed the water was freezing and she couldnt take that.....hahahhaa....tropical girl...

the water is as clear as it was 5 years ago...beautiful.....the pics are amazing...im sorting then from the whole trip and will put them up on some site....does anyone know a site that can host all that shit....??? cause they are amazing.


we had to cut our time on the adriatic short cuase we noticed that danis visa was shorter then we needed, and being paranoid and worried about danis freeting mind we came back and sorted it all out, it wasnt a worry at all, and we missed out on two days in Hvar which is like paradise, but hey better to miss it then to pay it and have a nagging worried dani....

zagreb is fun, we go to caffes and shooping and eat around, it aint bad....having a fun time....

dont know what i will do when dani leaves, it will be boring, i will go to gym again with my friend, but thats mornings and its gonna be a long month and a half, esp if i dont do the film festival thing, i am supposed to be a volutneer, meaning i get free stay and food, to set up some chairs and shit, and i get free admittance to all the night parties and cocktail receptions....hehhehehe....evil grins here

we went to opatija (the second biggest tourist beach palce in croatia) it was fun, my cousin and her bf took us to 'Hemmingway' cocktail bar, and i had a Wicky Waki Woom.....shit has it all....rum, vodka, tequila, gin, rum 80%, and some orange jucie...cost like 7 bucks but her bf treated us all....very sweeeet.

thats about it...when i dont have to pay for internet i will write more...but for now i gotta go cause im a jew deep down for this shit esp when i can have it freee if my dad would just be a lil different
