I needed to stay home tonight because oh hell I'm going to go out soon, after I finish this entry. I'm high and listening to my iPod on random. I did this all day long. I never put my iPod on random, and am even more reluctant to when in the presence of friends. One of my favorite past times is to just sit back with a bowl and some tunes and company or not.
But I wanted to just chill tonight because last night I got really, really wild and shitfaced at a mixer for Miami Ad School. It was awesome; I won't go into the antics that went down but I felt like I was really on point and repped it hard for Americans.
An open bar led to about 12 glasses of beer (small sized), a tallboy of beer, three glasses white, two glasses red, half of a girl's water, on an empty stomach. I was wasted; I say it in an embarassing tone, not in a "it's cool to get wasted" tone. But again, I do think it's kind of cool, shit, I feel cool. Maybe the advertising just brainwashed me into thinking that it's cool for all women to start to look real sexable and all of your pictures with acquaintances become Precious Moments statues. I retract my original comment. It was uber cool because I was uber wasted. But anyway, the chain on my Schwinn came off and I flew off my bike, landed hard on my hip and knee, and was quiet for about 30 seconds before erupting into laughter. Of course, it was in a busy location, so everyone laughed at me. I then spent 10 minutes trying to fix the chain, but some cats from Serbia came along and helped me fix it. I went home last night alive and realized I was being a bit of a dick...
"Why don't you go, dance on the dancefloor or something."
When another girl asked me what I notice first about a girl, I replied "First I notice her tits, then her ass, then the rest of her body, and if I have time, her smile and her eyes."
I was at least half-kidding. I notice the ass first.
But either way, I woke up today with a massive hangover. My hangovers seldom ever last over 2 hours but I was pretty incapacitated all day long. And worse than that, my knee and hip really really hurt. I'm a gimp. That's what I get for getting so drunk and being a dick. I think I outta go dance on the dancefloor or something.
But really, the folks here in Amsterdam are very nice. A Dutch girl I went out completed my sentence; I said, "People here are so ___."
"NORMAL"
If the scale had to swing of course it'd be for the positive. But I realize that America is so awesome because there is so much diversity, there is no one American culture. I'm from a big, bad, scary wolf of a city (Los Angeles) and my life is completely different from shit, someone else's life just a few cities over. America has a plus side to all of its fucking shitty people; but they all bring something to the table. Just quickly, off the top of my head, the list of shitty Americans are: cholos, Christian Conservative radicals, racist rednecks, fraternity guys, Hollywood/Miami scenesters, customer service workers, the 4000+ Catholic preists that hide their homosexuality and pedophilia behind their cloaks, cops. Damn, you don't know how happy it makes me feel to be in Amsterdam -- a city of smiling cops. They don't do patrols, they do leisurely strolls. No joke!
But man, I hate generalizing people but to make up for all that negative energy, here's a list of good people: doctors without borders, Peace Corps volunteers, Aussies, documentarians, Serbians, Germans, Turks, Tour Guides, old people, Buddhist monks, fat mechanics, Mormons, Moms
