Paco´s Life: Madrid

En estos días algo menos inciertos / In these not so uncertain days

Hello friends and readers. What a mental mess I wrote in the last post didnt I? I should stop writing while drinking a beer… It wasnt that bad. Well, there was a moment it was but already in the last post you could see some signals of recovery. There have been a few decisions these last weeks; the most important one is that, for the time been, I am not going anywhere. This is a sort of personal challenge called “Paco piece of shit, be a bit more stable”. Madrid is cool and my job is OK, I have to stop been so unsatisfied. Apart from the fact that I hate waking up early and working, everything goes very well here. Right, it is true that every time I speak with someone who is abroad or about to be, I feel this need of leaving but fuck it, STABILITY please.Having said all this, I dont discard fruther adventures but, for the time been and at least till June my ass will stay in Madrid. Maybe then I will feel the powerfull call of the danish fishes, who knows…

Right, I said it and, after this, I havent got too much stuff to talk about, thats the problem about not writing while drinking a beer. Not many news here, new flatmate, Mika is out and Loreto in, spanish girl from Burgos. The flatmate search was kind of funny, we post the add and we had to remove it the same afternoon cause so many people were calling. Apparently the situation is complicated in Madrid when it comes to look for a flat. A couple of funny stories related to the search, like this sucker calling and saying:

Sucker: Is the room still available?

Paco: No, sorry its been taken

Sucker: OK but, anyway, would you like to hook up with me?

Paco: sorry? Sucker: I said if you wanna fuck with me

Patethic, the guy called again in the afternoon using a private number and saying the same shit. Good he stopped it or I would have had to get a new number. Or this woman calling on behalf of his brother, surprising thing isnt it? Is he so shy he cant call himself? So, afer a long conversation about the state of the room and stuff like that, she says she is just looking for a good place for her 17 years old brother jajaja I had to tell her we are too old in this flat for him. Having a second thought maybe this was a mistake, we should have taken charge of this kid to educate him and make him become a real night punisher. Giving him Brugal for breakfast and partying with him every nigth. He would be our creature, our little Frankestein…

So we had to do the casting thing, writing down names and saying “we will call you if we like you”. I dont like this at all but it was the only way when so many people were visiting the house. In the end, we didnt really complicate the situation and chosen Loreto, a girl we all liked. She will need to be very patient to deal with three guys like us

More things, I finally upload some pictures to my rather forgoten web page, the ICEX meeting in Madrid, the trip to Moscow, the Heroes gig in Zaragoza and some Hospitality Club visits. Here they are. I would also like to mention the Fito & Fitipaldis concert the dane and me attended in Murcia.  Those 6 guys offered an excellent show. The night afterwards was outstanding too, we partied till very late with these Murcian girls who hosted us. We definitely have to repeat this kind of thing.

Coming soon, some exciting projects. Starting with our huge New Years Eve party at the flat, so far 36 people and 11 nationalities will show up. If they dont kick us out of the building this time they will never do. The idea is to have dinner with the visitors and then join the rest of our friends for the party. Much better than spending 70 euros for drinking shitty alcohol in a disco party.

And, for the next month, a bit more of ICEX traveller spirit. We will go to Geneva, beautiful city but supposed to be not much fun. We will need to have a look at that. Afer that, it will be Koln carnival turn. After the big success last year we repeat this one and this will probably become an usual even every year. Big party…

All right, time to finish this (I hope) more optimistic post. The streaks, good and bad, come and go. That bad one I was writing about its probably gone. Some mental mess is still in my head but I guess this is something I will never get rid off. In any case, the current feeling is more possitive. Therefore, happy christmas and new year to everybody and see you around
