Last post of 2005...

Yeah man... last post of 2005, alright.
Another year past like The Flash and I'm facing 28 in less than two months...
Maaaan that's hard...

I remember my last New Year's at Lula's, drinking all the way through the next day, having started at 5pm. Drinking that motherfucker Polar, alright. And Bohemia. I miss those bitches.
I remember working afternoons, having trouble waking up early to work at 9am twice a week and complaining about this. I remember smoking a lot of cigarettes with Junior and drinking lots of coffee, preparing classes and researching. I remember being afraid of being sent back home in immigration. I remember being afraid of coming to London. I remember being afraid.

I remember the countless beers at Frango, the churras at Lula's, my computer, my bedroom in Brazil. My posters. My balcony. The bats.
I remember getting 77 to Cidade Baixa, getting T5 to work, getting wasted whenever I could.
I remember Sao Paulo, Fabricio's apartament, Paulista Ave., Vila Madalena, Sujinho. I remember his Mac in "my" bedroom over there, drinking a beer and writing in my blog, awaiting the moment to board on that fucking Air France flight.
I remember the Colombian guy sitting next to me and not speaking any English, French or Portuguese. He was afraid and so was I.

I remeber walking on Brixton Road for the first time and not finding HSBC, even thought I had asked some guy for directions. I remember not understanding people - well, that's still happening,alright.
I remember my first job here. El Panzon, Mexican food. Hard work, hard core people.
I remember first day at the English school.
The first day at the hotel.
The first day at Silvio's.

The first Tube! The first impression of Oxford Circus!
The first impression of Big Ben and London Eye!
The first pub.
The first double-decker.

I remember the first Foo Fighters gig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Duran Duran!!!
Foo Fighters...

I remember Ronaldo here with me!
PARIS! JIM MORRISON! Eiffel Tower! Louvre!
I remember missing my friends. No, wait. This is something still ongoing...
Always...
