| 3rd August 2005 Johnny | - From: nameless Thanks for reading corrijene. :-) I don´t write as often as I´d like to, mostly because I´ve been so busy here. Also, next week I´ll be travelling so I don´t know when I will have a chance. Scotty, I can´t wait to get back to the mundane, often unmotivated cycle of american life. Theres comfort in complacency, no? :-) |
| 2nd August 2005 corrijene | hello from cali - From: nameless I love reading people's travel journals. It's recently become sort of a hobby of mine. I'll be where you are in about 2 months from today. I am in a campus abroad program at my school for fall 05. How long do you plan to stay in Spain? Will you write often? I've found other journals where the travellers only write once every year or so. I hope to see more from you. You make it sound so relaxing and comforting, and although there may be no reason, I see it in your writings. Enjoy yourself! |
| 2nd August 2005 scotty the lean mean dancing machine | the sky is beautiful....isnt it ? - From: nameless ah, yes ,today is tuesday and i feel an over serge in love and being . one could almost say that under neath the same sky , we are one and never really apart . our atoms are just a huge ball of...of ... crap , stiring and moving and our eyes have created an egg drop soup of images for us to precieve . One could almost feel warmth in that knowing or feel like vomiting , which ever. and in the end ....in the end....wait a minute ... your the one in madrid . i'm the guy sitting at a computer waiting (read dying)for another day to come where work sucks and my back feels like a twig underneath a birds dirty ass . i'm not allowed to have a moment of being one with myself ...oh how i envy you . Arent you just dying to come home to all of this ....?love ya man . |
| 1st August 2005 gary | - From: nameless hey whats up magoo. damn i miss ya. not in a sexual way, in that steamy long to feel your naked body sweating all over....okay in a sexual way. i hope all is well. i havent been able to post because i have been killing a lot of bugs lately. ill speak to you soon. |
| 1st August 2005 Bellhorn | Your phone sucks - From: nameless Every time I call your phone now it just gives me a long hum noise. As if it’s trying to dial, but gets stuck on the first tone. I tried calling a few times last week, and a few times this morning already (Monday August 1st). Hopefully others can get through and I am the only idiot who can't dial a number. |
| 30th July 2005 Drew | Your Journey - From: nameless It looks like you've realized one of life's mysteries....sometimes we need to detach ourselves to see just how truly connected we all really are and that words can't teach this, only experience. We can only hope the world could come to this realization, what a wonderful place this would be. |
| 27th July 2005 Kim | - From: Practicar Hey John I just wanted to say that you are missed very much and can't wait for you to come home. I'm glad your having the time of your life cause this is a once in a life time experience, soak it up while you can. Love you!!! |
| 27th July 2005 Fenton | trying to keep on topic - From: Practicar it was good to hear from you again. i was so used to posting almost everyday that i was surprised when i didn't get an email from you over the weekend, then i remembered that you were going to barcelona. sounds like you had an excellent trip even though you had some misgivings before going. can't wait to see all your pictures now. not much else going on here though, just the same old things. i'll write again when i have something more interesting to talk about. ciao. ps.-for all the ff league members, now that the league is set up i will be posting the what not's on the league message boards. i will not be posting anymore ff news on here as the majority of the people in here reading this stuff couldn't care less. i will try to post something at least once a week to keep everybody in the loop of what is happening. |
| 27th July 2005 Bellhorn | - From: Practicar Sounds like I can relate to your Pierre feeling, and I guess you have been through it before. That reminds me of when Dave left our office. It really drained the office moral and life. It always hurts to lose someone like that, because they can't ever be replaced :( Oh I have tried to call some more but I cannot even get through to voice mail now!!! |
| 27th July 2005 Johnny | Barcelona - From: Back in Black I don´t believe was the capitol, at one time it was Toledo, but the city outgrew the small area it encompased. Madrid has only been the capitol for a few hundred years.... spain is in all kinds of political turmoil though, with the Cataluynan´s in Barcelona and the Basques in the west both vying for independance. |
| 26th July 2005 Amalia | El John? - From: Back in Black VALE CHICOS! EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMM |
| 26th July 2005 v | v - From: Back in Black v |
| 26th July 2005 CiggaNoosh | Hiya! - From: Back in Black Yer wall looked empty, so naturally, I decided to decorate. I´m glad you´re cheering up Johnny Boy! We understand what you´re going through in this Spainness. Not much can replace your home, but remember, each minute that passes here is gone forever. Relish in it. Vale Chicos. 0=) |
| 26th July 2005 Cheese | Stuff I don't know how I know - From: Back in Black I might be wrong, but I think Barcelona was at one time the capital of Spain. I'm sure I heard that on Jeporady or the History Channel or something to that effect. So here's the $64,000 question cause I'm pig and everybody knows that: are the chicks hotter in Spain or are Latina woman here better? Look at me always thinking with my dong. Have fun, the blogs are great, and enjoy this experience. I'm lucky if I can to Orlando let alone another country. Talk to you soon. |
| 23rd July 2005 JOIE | Pasta Lasagna!! - From: going to california John, I hope you are learning alot in Spain and having a terrific time. We miss you. :( No fair, I wanna go to Spain! you turd! :)Anyways, I just wanted to say hi and tell you not to forget my mini eiffel tower!! heh heh. well, VIA CON CERVESAS and MUCHOS BANOS! ha ha hee hee Much love-Joie |
| 23rd July 2005 scott"loveISinTHEair"clancy | Stinky Magoo says he likes it . - From: going to california Oh,isn't that the only way it goes.For some would be travelers say that within their short journy's lay the sickness known as TripRuina.I,for one,have felt the effects of this dubious germ on many occasion . And for those of you who know my wife ,well.... you know theres a much more serious sickness known clearly as SickWifeInsanum and what a horrible thing that is . So , what i am getting at my dear BILBO is , I feel your pain .NOw , as for the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D you have surrounded yourself with , the only thing I can tell you is to start wearing an eye patch and heavily smoke cigars or go with telling everyone your real name is El GUAPO and you have a plethora of pinata's . Love ya man , till next time .... |
| 23rd July 2005 Cristina | can you post pictures? - From: going to california Hey J, I'm glad you are having a good time even if you are sick, whatever you do, don't waste away your trip at home...Unless you are studying. I saw in this page an option for you to be able to post pictures. Did you bring your digital camera, can you post some so that we have a visual for your posts?? :) ok, diviertete, saludos y abrazos, Cristina y Eric |
| 22nd July 2005 Fenton | sorry johnny - From: going to california no phonecalls for you! sorry to hear that you're sick, but there's a simple solution to that. just give your cold to as many people as you can, then it will be spread out so far that you should be able to easily overpower it. at least that's my theory anyway. i hope you have fun on your trip to barcelona, can't wait to hear all about it. i would appreciate it though if you would show my post about the fantasy football league that i typed after your last journal when you get the chance, this is the easiest way to communicate with everyone since we all have different schedules and stuff. later john. ps-scott if you would like to reread my post about my work schedule, you will notice that i was not complaining, just apologizing for my lack of internet activity. i'm sorry that i don't have a crappy job that i hate like some other people, but i've actually been having fun at work the past 2 weeks. maybe next time you have a comment on one of my posts, you'll just drink a nice cold glass of shut the hell up instead. |
| 21st July 2005 Mommy (the American one) | Get well soon - From: going to california Hi, What great writing!!! Your entries are very enjoyable to read. Sorry you are feeling sick. Could it be the effects of the liver tort you ate? Anyway, drink juice and get some rest. Be careful. If you come across any interesting things for my European history class- buy them and I will reimburse you. Postcards are great, replicas as well. Anything on Phillip II (Felipe II), Isabella I (her sidekick Ferdinand is marginal) or their son Charles V, Napoleon, art by Goya... We love and miss you. I am going to Michigan on Tuesday, as grandpa isn't well. He had a tumor removed from his bladder, but we haven't got the test results back as yet. Rachel will be "babysitting" for Chris :( or :). We'll give Danielle a call. Take care and be aware (I'm sure you heard that there was more trouble in London) I'm so proud of you and happy that you are having this experience. Love your mummy. |
| 20th July 2005 Bellhorn | Spanish phone service sucks - From: going to california I tried your number again, and the same rude lady refused to speak English to me! I called around 5pm, which would be 11pm your time I believe. Perhaps you were in bed already, out drinking, or perhaps even studying!!!!!! Well I hope your feeling better. Just a little update from Evolved, Lock-on Gold went into manufacturing yesterday and I am submitting a bowling title to Sony for PS2. The bowling game is quite good for a budget PS2 title. I bought some of the other bowling titles on Xbox and PS2 and they all sucked. Hopefully Sony approves it. I just finished putting together ALL THE PAPER WORK for submission; what fun. Later… |
| 19th July 2005 scott"unfrozen caveman"clancy | mmmm...blood cakes... - From: Substantia!!! Well ,well. I must say that paying for a seat in the slaughter house of a bull sounds positivly interesting . I would love to know how those around you cheered for its head ...ahhhh , i can picture it now. well as i always say , you gotta do everything once .I'm glad to hear about the new place, sounds great . but no more jokes about being able to hear a mouse fart is on the down side. I've always wanted to see the works of Dali in person , he is the one person whos art i have yet to see up close. enjoy my friend , till next time . |
| 18th July 2005 Fenton | great post - From: Substantia!!! sounds like you had a wild time his weekend. your new digs sound awesome. i'm sure the a/c alone was worth it, but a big screen plasma tv with satellite hookup, not to mention frosty beverages! mm mm, i wish i was in spain right now. you're livin the life right now buddy. hope you picked up some nifty souveniers as well. that is as long as it isn't cutting into your drinking budget. have fun bro. |
| 18th July 2005 Bellhorn | I speaka a english - From: Substantia!!! Hey Johnny, I called your phone and I got some Spanish lady speaking to me in a non-Mike speaking language. She read me back the number I dialed, which I cleverly decipher thanks to living in south Florida. Then she started rambling fast…blah blah blah…then I heard a beep so I left a message perhaps; or I was just a stupid gringo talking to himself on the phone? I think I got the hang of calling international numbers by now, but just to throw it by you I dialed 011-34-667-261-888. FYI, I got floor tickets for me and my cousin to go see NIN, w0000000000000t. |
| 15th July 2005 scott"jabberjaw"clancy | What'd i miss ? who's the bad guy ? is tom cruise in this picture ? - From: Bloggitude Wow,I just read through everything. you know me,im only on the computer when music is to be downloaded and wait...wait,there it is...ABBA's new record.Oh so many bands so little thiefing time.I must say,your spanish might be getting better,but,you my friend are writting at a 12th grade level.It's like poetry.You see john this is why I'll never be able to go to a distant location,for I have not even learned my own language(god,did i spell that right?). Man,I've got to hand it to you brother,You are a much stronger person then...shit, anyone i know.The fact that you can go over there and survive and not let anything get you down,Holding your head high is amazing.If it was me,christ,I freak out in my own room, could you imagine? Well,so far,your tale seems to be an adventerous one.And i ,for one, can't wait for the sequel. So write soon Traveling Mack,and for the sake of pete , keep safe.Love ya . -me- p.s.i liked fentons "i've been working 40 hour weeks" statement. He's funny . |
| 15th July 2005 gary | nothing - From: Bloggitude hey i hope you learn a lot because when you get back you can talk to felipe and no one will be able to understand.......but no one understands him now so i guess thats pretty much a wash. anyway i hope you are taking lots of pictures. but dont make them into slides, i will kill you. i have never been subject to a slide show and i dont intend to start anytime soon. drink a beer for me as i will certainly drink one for you. take care. |
| 15th July 2005 jlinn@embraer.com | Relieved - From: Bloggitude Can't tell you how relieved we are that this episode is almost closed. At the time I right this I'm sure the confrontation with the concentration camp director is over and the new beginning is about to be had. Hang in there and keep writing (great stuff). Love Mom & Dad |
| 15th July 2005 Fenton | brain collapsing inward on itself - From: The Philosophy of Culture Shock what, did you bump into confucious or something this weekend? sorry i haven't been on in a while but i've been really busy at work lately. i'm putting in 40 hour weeks ffor the next couple of weeks. guess that's the price you pay when you volunteer for a blockbuster video death squa... errr, i mean conversion team, yeah that's what i mean. anywho, sounds like you've had some stumbling blocks your first week, but i'm sure you are more than capable of overcoming them. good luck and study hard! ps.- sorry i haven't gotten around to sending anyone some fantasy footbal invites yet, i've just been too busy lately. between my 40 hour workweeks and trying to get online between my dad's drafts i've managed to accumulate about 7 minutes of internet time this week. but soon everyone, very soon... |
| 14th July 2005 gary | chin up soldier - From: The Philosophy of Culture Shock i can sense a little lost in translation moment going on here. i can only imagine the way your feeling right now. but i think that after its all over with you will be so very happy with yourself for going through with it. we all envy you. |
| 11th July 2005 gary | ewww - From: La Fin de Semana i wanna lay in pee. sounds like the only good thing to come from the running of the bulls was the bandana. was it comfy at least? |
| 11th July 2005 Fenton | just a quickie tonight - From: Una dia en la vida del Madrileño sounds like you're really getting into the swing of things there, johnny. good for you. hope you didn't see anyone take it in the ass from a bull, unless of course you wanted to see that. p.s. John and Gary-thanks for the email address |
| 8th July 2005 Cristina | I envy you.. - From: Arrival Glad you are having a good time. Eric let me in his e-mail to read your thing so put me on the list cristinita_uf@yahoo.com Estas aprendiendo Español!! cuando regreses espero que puedas enternderme aunque sea un poquito!.....joder! Don't worry, when you come back you might be better than Eric, his Spanish coomunication level hasn't reached kindergarden yet......joder. Toodles, Cris......joder |
| 7th July 2005 Drew | Hola - From: Una dia en la vida del Madrileño Somos todo contento que usted lo hizo sano y salvo. Su madre y la abuela quisieron que mí dijera "tiene cuidado y está enterado". Muy importante usted hace las memorias que usted terminará su vida, hace el mejor. Que el tiempo de su vida y regrese seguro. |
| 7th July 2005 Gary | - From: Una dia en la vida del Madrileño hey fenton, my adress is niles2209@yahoo i thought jo gave you that note. kim wants to try her hand at fantasy also so hopefully there is an extra space. it would make it better for me. this way i can watch all the football i want and maybe she will be interested because something is in it for her. p.s. i didnt win the lottery. just found out. |
| 6th July 2005 Fenton | First comment ever, yes!!! (napoleonesque arm pump) - From: Arrival glad to hear you amde it okay. tip: trick your roommates into playing a poker game and get them to bet their mattresses. it should help. when you have a spare moment on the computer i would appreciate it if you could send me gary's email address. this way i can send both of you some invites into some fantasy football leagues. i'll make sure everyone knows you're in europe and won't be ready to sign up until after you get back in august so we can hold a space for you. i'll be using your johnnyamerika@yahoo.com address, so if you want to use a different one let me know. that's my show for today. later. Fenton |
| 6th July 2005 Gary | phew what a read! - From: Arrival just kidding by the way, that was fun to read because god only knows im never leaving the country unless i cross over the border of mexico by accident. it sounds exactly like i would have expected....uncomfortable, but exilerating to be somewhere new, not knowing whats going to come next. have you seen any huge spanish roaches yet? dontbring any back here, i want nothing to do with those bastards. anyway, take care of yourself, i look forward to the next one. gary |
