"Rome is burning", he said as he poured himself another drink.
"Yet here I am, knee-deep in a river of pussy"

"Here it comes", she thought.
"Another self-indulgent, whiskey-soaked diatribe about how fucking great everything was in the past,
and how all us poor souls born too late to see the Stones at wherever,
or snort the good coke like they had at Studio 54.
Well, we had all just missed out on practically everything worth living for"
And the worst part was, she agreed with him

"Here we are" she thought.
"At the edge of the world,
the very edge of western civilization,
and all of us are so desperate to feel something,
anything,
that we keep falling into each other,
and fucking our way to the end of days."

A terminal case

Director Mike Figgis spent longer at LAX airport than intended. He'd arrived in Los Angeles, along with half the acting and directing world, for what is known as 'pilot season', when the big studios try out new scripts, directors and actors in a two-week frenzy of auditions and career make-or-breaks. When Figgis was being grilled by airport immigration, he was asked the purpose of his visit. Unthinking and tired after a long flight, Mike replied: 'I'm here to shoot a pilot.' After five hours in an interrogation cell (yes, really), he finally made it into town.

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad. Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this is liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken.

All geeks should read and love this book!

In lieu of a holiday-story post, which is coming up soon, I leave you with:

Hey dudes and dudettes,

Boston is cold, but no snow on this trip so far :(

Did the entire proper Christmas thing even though the family we're staying with is Jewish. Go figure.

Off to Washington D.C tomorrow. Home of Premier Bush. May he drink the blood of every woman and child in Iraq! WE SUPPORT YOUR WAR OF TERROR.

Peace y'all.

Fry.

I am still alive!

Just a quick update - I only updated once in all of Spain and we went to like 6 cities.

Then I was in Toronto and now I'm in NYC. But we leave tomorrow! For Boston.

There's no snow, though. It's unseasonably warm. And I was on Canadian National News. w00t.

Peace to my homes.

Write me plz.

Fry to the whisky.

So

I have arrived in Spain after approximately 27 hours of flying and waiting and flying and waiting. The only good thing about it was a EUR25 massage in Singapore which was HAWESOME. A little old woman of indeterminate origin stuck her elbows into my back with surgical precision.

Lazo and I arrived in Barcelona without incident and checked into our hostel which is SUPER VERY GOOD. The weather is supremely bearable, especially for winter - 20 or so degrees. We are yet to have tapas or churros, but have witnessed in front of our very own eyes street performers trying to scam tourists with the 3-cups trick.

We´re right near La Rambla (my fledgling Spanish tells me this translates to The Rambla).

Today we visited La Sagrada Familia, the Catedral and the Arc de Triomf.

Tomorrow Karen arrives! Woo!

Tonight we're going out with the rest of the Hostel people to "La Negro Gato - traditional Spanish bar with 300 shots". I don't know what that means but I'm assuming alcohol.

And on a serious note:

Stolen from ems, the only link you'll ever need in your life, ever

She's the kind of girl who looks for love in all the lonely places
The kind who comes to poker pockets stuffed with kings and aces
She's the kind of girl who only asks you over when its raining
Just to make you lie there catching water dripping from the ceiling

She's the kind of girl who gets her slings and arrows from the dumpster
The kind who tells you she's bipolar just to make you trust her
She's the kind of girl who leaves out condoms on the bedroom dresser
Just to make you jealous of the men she fucked before you met her

My schnitzel sniffles mmh to the girl I never knew.

Funny stuff :)
