day before halloween. I dont have a costume and actually right now my stomaches not entirely ok. Think Im still going out which is Ironic. Many moments have arisen that actually make me contemplate what the hell Im doing. For example drunk watching the sun come up and after sitting at jose luis's house at 8am drinking a beer. ... Seeing 3 sunrises back to back... I worked security at this discoteca called Tequilas and failed sort of at stomping randoms from approaching the band. I managed to somewhat succeed in my new job but they may just like me and have decided to just let me in for free and give me a few drinks. I also joined a rugby team "National Rugby team of bolivia" only because theres only 6 different teams in the ... read more

Jose Luis my primo called me and wanted me to head down to where he lives and I was going to bring some cd's so I could mix some music.

WEll I mixed around some and wasnt exactly ready to play any music friday and when I left Jose luis and his brother made it sound like I wasnt going to play. Well friday came around and had school like normal and was actually planning on going ... read more

Sept 27-Oct 1st It was really nice seeing John at the airport when I arrived. THe altitude of La Paz considering it is the highest capital in the world didnt affect me like I had assumed it would. I did purchase a coca cola which helps and John and I after getting my luggage had a cab waiting for us who would take us to the Maryknoll in La Paz. The cab driver was stoked to know that I spoke some spanish and we lightly conversed. Arriving in the front of the Maryknoll in La paz after immediately getting out of the cab I came a cross a key. NOt sure exactly what kind of omen that is but I put it in my pocket with little question as the cab took off and we entered ... read more

well Friday came around like it usually does and Kevin invited Caroline and I to go to Elisa's graduation and go to her house after for some drinks. It was my final Amoeba pill and considering I was feeling alright I decided to go. Kevin and I met up with Caroline after school and we went downtown looking for a gift. We first hit Heroinas street which had this one particular isle called Hippie isle. Caroline knew a particular jewlry shop that would have something for Kevin to buy for Elisa and it was the first time I had been near this shop. I had been in this Hippie Isle before but failed to notice the extensive amount of jewlry there. Well after some searching and Kevin failing to listen to my recommendations he decided to ... read more

Having been doing anything today literally slept like more than a majority of the day and my stomache keeps turning and belching and I keep having to run to the bathroom. Monday nothing really out of the ordinary happened except when out of school I was blogging in my room and came to ARicelli and Cubelli having tea downstairs. I joined them and told them I was going with them to their house to see if the Monday night football game was on. I gave Cubelli her cd back but she still forgot it at my house. I arrived at Ken's house and Caroline said she would like to see the football game and so did Kevin but neither were able to make it. The game between the 49ers and the saints was extravagent and the ... read more

Dont know what to do exactly anymore and sundays tend to drag on. I texed Yssel seeing how she was feeling after EXTREMOS yesterday. SHe replied with something I didnt understand but said she had to hang out with her family or something. Not sure what my intentions were with my text I sent but whatever. Sunday the discoteca's are closed, everyone just stays home and for the usual rush and occupation of accomplishing something everyday this day seems to kill me mentally. AFter finishing Marching Powder which was my read when I was getting bored all the time which also helped me not feel so alone I had no idea what to do. Well I heard that something some sort of Flowers and Saltenas were at the Prado and I immediately started calling me people ... read more

Woke up after sleeping a good 11 hours and was feeling amazing like I was in my prime which I might actually be if I was still working out. I knew that there was a party tonight and was all excited because I was no longer taking amoebas pills and was feeling brand new. I knew no one else was awake yet so decided after breakfast and lunch to read "Marching Powder". What a great read. I read and slept literally all morning and afternoon and after a while decided to head down to the park and read some. I had texted Kevin wondering what time the party was and he responded something hours later like 9pm and that he was at the school. I immediately threw my book down after returning from the park to ... read more

WEll the weekend came around like it always does and I recall even thinking to myself "I hope this ends well". T.I.B. is our new joke we have when ever something crazy happens or you fall on a rock or something you just gotta be like well "This is BOLIVIa". WEll I had asked Kevin to meet me at school when we were out at 1130am so we could trade some music and maybe since he had 2 USB drives he would let me use one. Getting out of school Kitty caught me in the hallway when class was over and said she wanted to talk to me right away. I told kevin to wait for me in the student center then told him there was pizza outside. THeres an little old lady that apparently stops ... read more

Slept through my first class because my stomache started making weird noises I hadnt heard before and I must have used the bathroom like 6 times. After breakfast I made my way to the school and was greeted by john in our classroom just before 2nd period out of 4. SChool went miserably for me and I was now convinced that I had something and was going to go to the shit doctor to figure it out. John was expert at this and I forced him to go with me after school. He didnt want to go but I did not want to go to the pharmacy by myself and the clinic by myself. During my last class I had to excuse myself to expell some waste. Stomache was not well and after class on the ... read more

Its Tuesday Day of Cochabamba and I was not feeling well at all this morning. I wanted to partake in some celebration but sleeping sounded more appealing. I ate some and slept till like 1pm. Alex called me and asked If I wanted to go with her to the Prado and I really did and she also wanted to drink and I told her the situation of my stomache and replied maybe later on in the night well throw back some drinks. She said she would call me back so I waited and slept some. I slept till like 230pm and then texted kevin seeing if he wanted to go to the prado. MY mom was suprised to hear the fact that I was leaving because I had recieved a text from kevin saying to meet ... read more
