A colleague invited a few of us out for a drink tonight…Initially it was to be 10 or 10:30 but then got shifted to 11 – 11:30 (I’m sure my Frankfurt people are laughing at this). I agreed. It seemed like a really good idea at the time.
I have shifted my time schedule to be a bit more italian, but not so much that I can start an evening at 11Pm on a school night. I’m about to send a backpedalling text cuz I just don’t think I can do it…I’m feeling old now (speaking of which…Happy birthday mom! – I’d send you a card, but I have no idea how to even buy stamps here).

So I suppose one can get an interesting view of themselves by looking at the search terms people use to stumble onto your page…Apparently I’m on page 37 of the google search term “American beards”…?

Well done google…I’m an american with a beard…Even more interesting is
a) Why is random german searching on that? and
b) why did random german get all the way to page 37 of googles search term?

Were they still looking for an american with a beard by the time they got to Page 37? Brad Pitt had a beard once. I bet he was on page 1…I’m guessing that this entry might vault or catapult me (ok…discussion…is it better to be vaulted or catapulted?) into the first page, especially after I tag it up a bit…

So we’ve had Polish visitors in the office the past couple weeks. I have to say most of them I’ve met are abnormally happy
…I’m convinced they’re putting viagra in the water or Poland is some testing ground for new pharmaceuticals that alter ones mood
Anyways they’re all so nice. It’s great. They tend to bring gifts for colleagues and it seems the Italians don’t have a taste for Polish stuff, so the logical thing (?) to do when one has received a gift from Poland that one is not fond of…is to find an american and re-gift…As everyone in Italy apparently knows – Americans will eat or drink anything.

I’ve got two bottles of Vodka, some candy, and a jar of homemade stewish type stuff that I’ve never heard of…I’m just going to call it grzsykyyski Obviously it was made by some gramma, and I love her for it…Lest anyone assumes I think badly of the Polish I can assure you that’s not true. Most of them I’ve met have been wonderful (I’m not being sarcastic)…(don’t worry noone from Poland reads this – Your re-gifting ways are still a secret)…

…and I just read that Possessed by Paul James (Konrad Wert) will be in Europe this summer…this calls for a road trip. Apparently he’ll be in the U.K. France and Swissland (hopefully not all at the same time). I’ll have to go see him at some point.
I saw him once in Frankfurt and the show was incredible. I managed to invite myself onto the stage for the third set – I also was responsible for the whole third set. Just yell “Third set” when he’s wrapping it up and he’ll do a third set…
The link if anyone cares…

I’m sure the Italians think this is odd, but some vids…

OH AND….this was a related video on one of the videos above…ha! christy! Diving, cheating, lying bastard…
