Oktoberfest?

Well, this weekend I was in Munich to the world-known Oktoberfest. To those who never went there: ”You haven't missed anything!!!” And to those who went there more than once: “How could you?”
Ok, I admit that it was interesting to see, but so much talk about the famous beer festival is to me quite illogical...
Imagine:

- Getting up at 7am, getting ready ASAP. All girls put so much effort into making them look beautiful (For whom then??? For all the drunks that don't even care how a girl looks like?).
- Need to be there at 8am (especially over the weekend). FYI: We were there an hour later and couldn't find a place to sit.
- You actually start drinking in the morning. I traveled Friday night after work, slept 2 hours in a tent, was tired like hell and started drinking at 10am. After my third and last one liter of beer (as the glasses are 1 liter). I was out of the game for at least two hours (I think I slept on the table).
- You can be witness of cock-sucking on your own table (some girls almost sucked some guys d…who sat on the same table being so drunk).
- You can learn an amazing amount of rich and high meaningful typical German songs.
- You can pretty often have beer-showers which are so nice as everybody knows “beer is considered to have one of the nicest smells”.
- And you can come home with diarrhea (like me).

So you still wanna go?

Back again after over a year

Sorry that I haven't written anything for so long, I just wasn't in the mood I guess. I don't know if I still will keep the tradition and write updates on a regular basis. But I ll do my best! :)

Life changed so much, everything is so new and different. I really love Europe and I don't miss the USA at all (maybe the only thing that I really miss is all the trainees around and the big parties we had). There are just a few trainees here and most of them for a really short period of time. And we don't get together so much:(

My job is new and different, I like it a lot (though I work alone most of the time and I get bored sometimes!). The company is great, it's a huge one and has many opportunities for young and ambitious people (so let's see!:)

Guys are great in Cologne (and sometimes you might have luck if they are straight), the city is beautiful and has many young people and bars and clubs...

So, anybody wanna come for a visit?

Random

I haven't posted anything recently. I have no idea why. At work is not so busy, not too many PRONTOS yet (that's how I call the Italian speakers jokingly that I am still scared of because I just started taking calls in Italian), life is beautiful here in The Sunshine State, Florida. I love it...It is so different and exciting. Peaceful, nice, thrilling... I really like it.

I have the feeling that it's too good to be true and something bad is going to happen sometime soon. Hopefully I am wrong this time, I had enough changes in my life this year...

I miss my friends, my family, my new friends from St. Louis, though I have a very good time here and met other nice people that I already adore. I have a wonderful time in the house with my Grandpa Sorin (sleeping from 6pm to 6am), with pure and honest Alejandra and Bane and Jose (the most loving couple I have seen lately). Looks like our place is becoming a party place, we started the tradition last week already with two parties. Vamos a bailar! Ahora!

Florida

Well, I was so scared of moving, finding a place to live, how I am gonna like the place and so on, but I am over it now, because I already settled down and went through all that. It took us three days to travel through six states and arrive to the Sunshine State, our final destination. I don't know much about Florida though, because I haven't been going out a lot. I go to work, then spend the rest of the day at home (the house is so cool, we have palms everywhere:), swimming in OUR swimming pool, watching a movie and then going to bed (eventually still not mine, because Shady and Holly are staying in my room, until they move out and I am sleeping with Sorin, the devil. But I don't really care that much that I haven't seen much from our new neighbourhood, because I have another year here and there will be time for everything, right? My only concern is that I haven't seen the ocean yet, which should be definitely fixed tonight:)
The people at work are nice, everybody speaks Spanish and it's very different but I still miss my colleagues from Saint Louis A LOT. To all of you guys "I wish all of us were here together, I wish we could all have had the opportunity to go to Velvet and OZ again, I wish we could gather for a party and even have the police come over again!:) I miss you guys and I can't wait for you to come over and visit us!"
Adios now! Take care and don't champagne too much:)

Thoughts

There is so much sadness in the world. So many bad things happen all the time - innocent people die, get killed or hurt, life sucks in general. In my opinion, as I had a discussion with a friend of mine a while ago, the world is definitely going to its end, I have this feeling for a long, long time now. All those wars in the name of unknown causas, all those terrorist attacks all over the world, all this hatrid among the people and thurst for blood and revenge make me feel so sick. Life is so confusing, the human beings lose their humanity and become predators. You never know what can happen to you in this chaos. That's why we should make efforts to enjoy every precious moment God gives us - the time spent with our families, the friends we make throughout our lifetime, the nice memories we have.
And I am really thankful to God that so far he did no harm to me. My family, even though thousands miles away from me, is doing alright, my friends, even though I miss them so much, are having a good time as well, my new friends here - I love them so much, but I feel so sad now. I was so eager to leave for Florida and start a new exciting life (at least that's how I picture it in my mind) but while I was looking at an extremely high volume of pictures at Walid's log, going through everybody's faces, through so many events together, I became so scared and sad that I might never see some of my new friends again because of living so far away from eachother for example, which is a pretty good reason unfortunately. And it happened so many times before, I know that it's so difficult to keep a friendship with such a distance!
To all my new friends that I am leaving pretty soon, not knowing when I will ever see them again: Anis, Alessandro, Maria, Lisiane, Amine, Aymen, Norton, Jamile, Simone, Paulino, Chad, Walid, Lena, Alfredo and all the other trainees: Thank you for the nice time we had together, for the respect and appreciation we showed to eachother (at least most of the time:), for the help and the attention I got when I needed you! We spent so much time together, I will always remember those 6 months and all the moments we had together-parties, going outs, trips we made together. I will miss all of you incredibly!
