Listening To: Follow The Leader : Korn
“…he drinks a vodka drink, he drinks an absynthe drink, he drinks a lager drink, he drinks a vodka drink, he sings the songs that remind him of the crap times, he sings the songs that remind him of the worst times…” coz I’ve had worse than this, DB you big fekking baby !
So, what are your plans for the weekend, dear readers ? I’ve been a good boy all week, not much in the way of alcohol consumption, but I’m all set to ruin that tonight, let me tell you ! Found out some grimly disturbing news this morning (which I’m not at liberty to discuss), and coupled with my ongoing worry about my girlfriend overseas, this has led me to the inescapable (and oft repeated, but we won’t go into that) conclusion I want … nay NEED … to get out of my own headspace, at least for a little while, via the magic of alcohol.
So basically, my plans for tonight are to ingest as much alcohol as my body can hold, possibly more, and then mosey on down to yet another goth club (“Rapture” @ Rogues) since I didn’t get a satisfying fix of gothness @ Neotokyo last week. In fact, I’m planning on getting so off my tits, if I don’t choke to death in a pool of my own vomit, I’ll be slightly surprised ! The ‘evening’ kicks off at around 2pm when our work Lawn Bowls function commences. I plan on having one or maybe 2 beers there … no more, since I still have to drive home.
Once I *get* home however, around 5 or 6, it’s <ON> for young and old, as I plow my way through a goodly number of absynthe + recharge, and vodka and cokes. If I can still manage to walk 3 hours later, I will be catching the bus into the city, and hopefully shaking my oh-so-gothic arse to some decent ‘old school’ industrial @ Rapture. Hopefully I’ll get home around 5 or 6, and have enough brain-cells left to sensibly fall asleep lying on my stomach, so that any projectile vomit ends up on my sheets only, and not lodged in my throat, blocking my airways.
I know, I know fans … it’s a hard life, but someone has to do it, and that someone might as well be me ! So – what are *your* plans for the weekend ?

I miss you soo much babe, dont overdo it (like me!). Hi everyone! Hope u r cruisin well.
So i just left Valencia yesterday & now in Barcelona. When i arrived in Valencia, it was late at night – i had been travelling all day from Malaga & Madrid. You can do 2 express trains (7 hours) or an 11 hour bus ride from Malaga (south of Granada) because the SierrA Nevada is just so friggin´huge!
.. i came out of the train station & arrived smack bang in the middle of the ¨Las Fallas¨(St Jose) festival. I even made it onto spanish tv – me & my 11 kilo back pack were seen trying to get across the street in front of a procession of floats, spanish senoritas, marching bands & huge effigies.
The effiges & images or people & animals are placed all through the streets & on the last night ( which i wont see) – they set fire to them. Oh & there are the most amazing fireworks for half an hour everynight from 1 am during the festivak. they even had a small fireworks session during the day. I can get over it! There are just people every where! Little kids as young as 5, are given bungers & crackers by their parents & they just throw them in the street, everywhere! The whole place smells like gunpowder – small explosions go off every few minutes..its like some mexican fiesta or a gunfight at the OK Corral. This time i had trouble locating the hostel. Its brand new.. the street is one of the main streets but not well sign posted & i spent 2 hours around the street at night looking for this infamous no.36!
Have had a good time there & shared a room with some aussie girls. Both nights went out partying with people from the hostel & have made some new friends from the U.S. & Germany. So today im in Barcleona..looking forward to a new day of exploration.. the Gaudi arthouse, the picasso museum, Las Ramblas & the beaches. I have everything locked up as Barcelona is bad for thieves. The streets are so narrow & curve around so a bit confusing. Have a good one & i will take care! Ive been trying to send photos but the files are too large. Today im sooo hungover on sangria.
Went out with the girls in our hostel tour. They took us to a tapas bar, we drank sangria, we went to a flamenco show & then later a salsa club!! The girls watched as i danced SALSA with the best of them!! They were saying ¨IG, thats so cool¨. hehe it was nice. OK..talk soon & will keep u posted!.. IG
