For some reason Im feeling very drained...
its about 5:00 and I woke up around 2:00 having gone to bed around 5:00 AM i love night schedules but im not sure it pays off in a hostel.
most of the cats i been hanging with left today.
The australian guy and I went to pizz hut last night (my third time) and talked about travels and troubles... according to the backpacker religion -we were meant to run in to eachother, and I think in a lot of ways my sharing similar thoughts worries, past experiances did help him... Im not sure what i gained in a larger picture, but it was a goo conversation and I hadnt had one in a long time.
We returned to the hostel really late, and ran in to some drunk americans after watching vertigo with the lady who runs the place. (the workers sleep in the tv room) anyway we started talking politics and ended up on sex (of course) and this rather vulgar american girl opened up in the way guys brag... but because she was a woman, it was really funny, and "refreshing" --me and the australian guy had already talked about how weird it is to be around male backpackers who always talk about getting laid and things, when the thought rarely even hits our minds.

I watched the movie Kids last night, and was once again repulsed with all men.

I got the new chili peppers cd yesterday and im not as impressed as i was hoping to be... of course they cant keep up the streak (they just put out 4 brilliant albums in a row) and this new one, a double cd seems quickly made... the music is good but not amazing. the lyrics are in some cases very heart warming and real, but in other songs it seems like anthony keidis cares more about rhyming than making sense, and he used to be able to do both... many of the songs are what i would call filler for a band of this status... (where as they might be "ok" if it were a smaller band)
but to go back to the lyrics thing, its painfully obvious once again that anthony keidis would be terrible if he wasnt around such brilliant musicians.. they are carrying him... his voice has gotten better over the years, but without flea and john and chad.... hes "eh"

john's cds dont have great lyrics either, but its not expected.. hes too weird and his guitar work is brilliant and moving enough to carry a song.. so its a great addition to hear his voice (for me, not for most) and his lyrics are beautiful in that sort of crazy genious sort of way.

its still pretty amazing to see guys their age, jumping around and dancing and falling over, and giving it their all in concert though... i gotta give em mad props for that... but i wish they were getting more serious with their music, and less (funk/dance/pop) its what ruins good bands... no doubt...black eyed peas....


I been wondering if 311 wants to tak back their lyrics lately...
"black eyed peas come original..." not anymore.

But omar rodriguez of the mars volta once again makes an appearance on the chili peppers cd (him and john work together a lot, and flea and john are both on the mars volta albums) im just waiting for a chili peppers mars volta tour... which would basically be like everything i would ever want in a show. except i wouldnt have enough energy im sure...

_______________ok enough of me being a music snob_______________________________


hmmmmm i wrote a poem about the "crazy guy"
apparently he is 51 and the hostel lady, thinks his family escaped from russia because she says he has a russian and an american name.. last name(and they are very different)
he still looks like rasputin, but everyone else thinks he looks like jesus.

I went to the art museum, it was aight... but i wish i had had more energy today... maybe its just too hot... in winter we dream of heat, in summer we die with out air conditioning... we just cant win.

they have dogs all over romania, but especially in bucharest...
these are street dogs and they roam in packs... a japanese tourist was killed a few months ago. apparently brigitte bardeux (spelling?) has an animal rights group that convinced the city not to kill all the dogs.. but its sort of scary when you hear them at night and u have to avoid certain streets becaus its all territorial.

um right....
i'll probably get internet again later.
peace
