oh heeey, it's fridaaay


It was a rad Friday, everyone but Ryan slept in really late today. Brandice and Sheen went out clubbing last night and didn't get home until something absurd like 5 or 6 so they weren't up until 3. As for Ryan, he stayed up all night and found out that he had to wait for a UPS package, he was told that he had to wait outside between 8 and 10:30 because UPS already came by once and couldn't find the hostel. After he received his packaged he engaged himself in a serious adventure... I would go into details but it wasn't my adventure so I can't tell it. It seems like a story that is worth publishing though, so maybe he'll do so... maybe I could have a Ryan Smith feature on my blog?

During the day today I hung around the hostel and did some stuff that I had been putting off for a while, it was also raining so there wasn't really all that much that could be done.

Tonight was amazing; everything started off in the kitchen area where everyone met and started having a few drinks and playing cards. Two days ago Sheen got us on a VIP list for tonight to some local club, so at about 1:15 we all left in a huge group towards the club. Before I go further into details I should introduce three of the best people on the earth: Aram, Aram and Daniel... yes, two Aram's... All from Kurdistan. The really awesome Aram gave me a quick history lesson on Kurdistan, it was very interesting, apparently in 1985 his parents because guerilla soldiers and fought against the Iran government that tried telling the people of Kurdistan that they couldn't continue living with theocracy and they had to switch over to a democracy. In the end his family fled to Sweden where he lived until he decided to leave and work here in Barcelona for a year with his friends. One last note on Aram, he looks a lot like John Frusciante when he has his hair tied back, so rad. Alright, so went to that club and it pretty much sucked so Ryan, Brandice, Aram, Daniel and I left and made our way to another little club just down the way where it was super packed. We somehow found a table upstairs at the little club and hung out for a bit until the place closed down at 3. After we left the club we went down La Rambla which is famous for shit goin down... very interesting street, a lot of things going on... I wouldn't recomend going down that street by yourself, ever. I guess after we walked down that street and found some food we went home, by the time we got back it was probably close to 6am. Awesome night.
