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 find this text and called Kevin to see if he was still at the school. He was and I actually left and met him there. WE chewd some coca and ate some seeds and John was actually at the school as well. HE started talking to me about starcraft and I invited him to Elisa's party. Kevin told me that he needed to buy a gift for Elisa and we decided to go to the flower parade that was going on down town. We invited john to come with but he was to preoccupied in starcraft and decided rather just to meet us at the front gate at 8pm. Kevin and I were off and caught the 3v toward the prado for 2 bolvianos total and at first were a little perplexed as to where to start. There were flowers everywhere but they were all mostly just soiled plants. Opposite of what we needed which was a bouquet of flowers. We must have searched the whole prado looking for some damn flowers and left empty handed. I decided that I had to buy something as a gift so my conclusion was to purcahse some wine somewhere. Kevin said there was a flower stand next to Ale's video shop and we decided to check it out considering time was now of the essence. We had about an hour to spare before meeting the others and we still had to eat, buy flowers, chocolates, and a bottle of wine. We hadnt accomplished anything. Kevin was chewing coca the whole time and I was chewing seeds. NOt going to lie I had some coca and with Kevin but after one cheek of lahia my face was numb and this made chewing seeds somewhat unpleasant for a while. Arriving at the Videostore Kevin was right there was a flower stand. I kept telling him to pick flower after flower and he was building his bouquet. IT ended up costing him around 70b's and he still wanted to buy chocolates. Im my opinion he went a bit overboard but I still technically didnt have a gift. After the flowers we walked some and seeing alcohol at through some small shop window at the time because we were very pressed for time we decided to stop and take a look. The guy immediately got up from what he was doing and understanding that we needed some wine he went out back and came back with three bottles of Argentina wine. Each was over 100 bolivianos except for one that was 100bolivianos exactly. Caso De Campo was the name of the wine and now Kevin and I probably looked like a gay couple with Me carrying a bottle of wine and him a large Bouquet of various flowers. That wasnt all he wanted to purchase, he still was looking for a box of chocolates. This was getting rediculous I kept telling him and near La plaza he thought he recalled a place where they sold some bomb chocolate but we never found it. (Ive been ranting some this whole blog entry and watching monday night football at this time so I hope it all comes out correctly). WEll we decided to purchase some chocolates at a small store which ended up
costing kevin more than the flowers but he was still satisfied. AFter we decided to cab it to Las Islas to get 2 burritos for the both of us. This was the second time I had eaten at las islas and not entirely sure what my stomache was going to think of it I felt alot better. I was still going strong and my stomache was doing great and I was ready for a night of drinking. Well meeting at the school at like 8pm we all traveled via taxi, John, Kevin, Ken, Caroline to elisa's house for her party. Kevin wasnt entirely sure where her house was but after getting onto her street he was familiar where we were. Getting out of the taxi we were literally in front of a pharmacy and immediately started joking around "wheres the goods?". Well we were greeted by Elisas mom and she escorted us upstairs and we were somewhat bewildered by where we were. Beautiful house really but Elisa was no where to be found. We all sat down and as soon as she made her appearance I showed her the bottle and handed her this balloon I got her that said feliz cupleanos. WE all immediately started drinking the argentina wine that Kevin and I bought. For the record
He actually went half and half on the payment for the wine. John said something like he had to wait like 45min before he could start drinking which seemed kind of absurd to me but he said thats what the pharmacy said. He said they told him 2 hours after taking his pill he was allowed to drink. Well I didnt wait and had some Leche de tigre which translates to tiger milk which was an amazing sweet milk shake type drink and many cuba libres con RON abuelo. AFter a while Elisa's sister made an appearance and so did 2 of her friends. when john was able to drink he
started drinking Ron Abuelo straight which ended horribly last time at Kens birthday party. John and I were at one end of the table across from the 3 woman we didnt know and we got into some rediculous conversation about what bands better the Beatles or Zeppelin. I know for fact that Zeppelin is musically more advanced but somehow John was forking up an argument. He kept telling me that more people listened to the Beatles and I agreed but that still didnt make them a better band. Well after many drinks I knew I was right but failed to convince john so our argument stopped. If john thought he knew the sky was purple you couldnt convince him otherwise. Well we drank till like 1am and I was convinced that we werent going to a discoteca. I was chatting with prettier of the 3 girls after changing seats and then commented on her fake diamond watch. I made some comment on her ring and our conversation stopped. I for a while thought they would be joining us in the discoteca but the engadged one drove us and Elisa's sister who was fairly cute did not attend "EXTREMO". It was Ken, Kevin, Elisa, some other girl I didnt know at the time, because the others left to go home like JOhn. ITs hard to get john to go to a nightclub because he is only stuck on his ways and cant listen to anything but TOOL. Tool isnt even rock its like alternative crap if you ask me but he swears by them and I dont think ill ever understand. WEll arriving at the nightclub Extremo we sat down and got a bottle of sky
Vodka. Extremo was full of strobe lights and as the night progressed the friend of Elisa got somewhat prettier. I couldnt drink vodka at this moment and ordered a beer. The beer went down nicely and I was fairly suprised that my stomache was holding up so late in the night considering amoebas were still having sex in my stomache. All of a sudden some woman in a purple dress with a revealing top came up to Elisa and greeted our table. For a while I was contemplating whether or not to drunkenly walk around and ask woman to dance preferably to find the hottest one
but didnt want to leave Ken and the other girl by themselves. I usually attempt this type of social interaction during a drunken haze. This new lady figure after one drink immediately grabbed ken and summoned him to the dance floor. We all got a kick of this and were laughing and joking and pointing. Well now it looked like I had to dance with the
Elisas friend who was at the table and Kevin even told me after my drink that we were all going to dance. I hate dancing really, but if its with a pretty girl I dont mind as much or If Im intoxicated to the point where I cant see really its all good. THe lighting also helped. Kevin and Elisa were beyond trying to seperate so it was like I lost a comrade in the middle of a war. Ken seemed occupied as well so my solution was to just keep dancing and drinking. I recall almost knocking over several glass tables and drinks were spilling but no one seemed to notice. Well as the night came to an end I realized I must have danced for a good 2 hours or so like consecutively which blew my mind. Drinking more at our table I asked for the girls number and at first there was no way that Yssel was her name. I couldnt even pronounce it correctly so I just handed her my phone and had her put it in there for me. AT around 4amish I was done
and Ken just sat there no longer wanting to converse because he was tired and not neccessarily drunk but it had taken a toll on him as well as I. I had been drinking consecutively since 9pmish and it was around 4am. At first I thought Ken and I were leaving the chicks there but they wanted to go with us in the cab. We said bye best we could to Kevin but he was in the same 18 square inches that he had shared dancing with Elisa for the past 4 hours straight so there was little we say or do. WEll Ken totally blew off his chick when she commented on how well of a dancer he was and wanted to dance with him again but he was very little interested in such a revealing lady. Mine on the otherhand dont recall much but our parting went smoothly ending with like a kiss on the cheek or something. For
some reason the taxi driver took me home first which was strange because I live quite a distance from KEN. Overall everything worked out with the 3 girls and 3 guys that went to EXTREMO but I think KEVIN had the greatest time of us all even though it was ELISA's birthday. Cant even recall last time I danced so long so I had to text YSSEL in the morning to see what was up.

You say the hill's too steep to climb
Just climb it
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
The hill in my own way
Just wait a while for the right day
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down
Hear the sound of the things you said today

Fearlessly, the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling
Merciless, the magistrate turns 'round
Frowning
And who's the fool who wears the crown?
And go down in your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
You look down
Hear the sound of the faces in the crowd
-Fearless

The odds are good
but the goods are odd

Hope you got back together with the girl. To dance that hard for so long it should have ended better.
