Things I miss...

For those of you who are far from Barcelona, I must tell you the weather here is begining to scare me. By now we should be going from autumn to winter, but the temperatures are still like in late summer. Nobody wears still any coat or jacket, just light sweaters. No talking about rain. We haven't seen any water for a long time. I, who love hot weather and hate cold, am begining to miss a good storm. In the other hand I like this waether, so I am happy every morning when I wake up and don't freeze and every afternoon, when I can still go out to the beach to have lunch, but it scares me. It really does. For the last 3 or 4 years we have not had autumn or spring. We passed directly from a freezing winter to the hot summer and viceversa.

A part from a good storm, another thing I miss is Austrlia. I must admit that Alberto's last posts in his blog have made me think about everyone I met in Australia and specially in Melbourne, and I miss them. I miss my life there.

Confessions of an addicted person:

I have to use this blog to confess an addiction of mine. I'm addicted to hughs. And on days like today, in which I'm feeling a bit down, I feel it more than ever.

Well, now that you know it, I can tell you what I've discovered in the internet today: a "hughing" T-shirt. The thing is that it is connected by bluetooth to your mobile and if someone sends you a hugh, the T-shirt simulates the hugh. I think it is sad. Pathetic. The day I need a T-shirt to hugh me, the hughs will stop giving me the positive energy charge thats causes me to be addicted to them...

Let's move from a freak to someone I felt inlove with last night. I went to the concert of Sufjan Stevens... Waw! He is such a wonderful, special, crazy person! And all the musicians playing with him... outstanding! Well... if you have the chance to see him just don't miss it. Even the person playing before him (St Vincent) was just impressive. And of course, if you don't know him, give it a go (I would maybe recomend the album Illinois, but it's difficult to say!)

I must tell you, in this first post and to introduce myself, that lots of my friends (and maybe myself) can be defined as geeks or freaks. Thanks to that fact, I can discover through them some personalities, like Vincent Gallo. In his web there are posts and offers like these:

>> He offers himself:

"I, Vincent Gallo, star of such classics as Buffalo 66 and The Brown Bunny have decided to make myself available to all women. All women who can afford me, that is. For the modest fee of $50,000 plus expenses, I can fulfill the wish, dream, or fantasy of any naturally born female. The fee covers one evening with Vincent Gallo. For those who wish to enjoy my company for a weekend, the fee is increased to a mere $100,000. Heavy set, older, red heads and even black chicks can have me if they can pay the bill. No real female will be refused. However, I highly frown upon any male having even the slightest momentary thought or wish that they could ever become my client. No way Jose. However, female couples of the lesbian persuasion can enjoy a Vincent Gallo evening together for $100,000. $200,000 buys the lesbos a weekend. A weekend that will have them second-guessing."

>> He also offers his sperm:

"Mr. Gallo will supply sperm for as many attempts as it takes to complete a successful fertilization and successful delivery. (...) If the purchaser of the sperm chooses the option of natural insemination, there is an additional charge of $500,000. However, if after being presented detailed photographs of the purchaser, Mr. Gallo may be willing to waive the natural insemination fee and charge only for the sperm itself. (...) Mr. Gallo is 5'11" and has blue eyes. (...) If you have seen The Brown Bunny, you know the potential size of the genitals if it's a boy. (8 inches if he's like his father.) I don't know exactly how a well hung father can enhance the physical makeup of a female baby, but it can't hurt. (...) Mr. Gallo maintains the right to refuse sale of his sperm to those of extremely dark complexions (...) Mr. Gallo does not want to be part of that type of integration. In fact, for the next 30 days, he is offering a $50,000 discount to any potential female purchaser who can prove she has naturally blonde hair and blue eyes. Anyone who can prove a direct family link to any of the German soldiers of the mid-century will also receive this discount. Under the laws of the Jewish faith, a Jewish mother would qualify a baby to be deemed a member of the Jewish religion. This would be added incentive for Mr. Gallo to sell his sperm to a Jew mother, his reasoning being with the slim chance that his child moved into the profession of motion picture acting or became a musical performer, this connection to the Jewish faith would guarantee his offspring a better chance at good reviews and maybe even a prize at the Sundance Film Festival or an Oscar. To be clear, the purchase of Mr. Gallo's sperm does not include the use of the name Gallo. The purchaser must find another surname for the child."

>> And obviously he does not accept critisism :

"However, if I notice any polluted messages, which usually come from bitter, jealous, ugly, poorly-hung men, who are unhappy at work and wished their whole life to be like me, I will remove these unproductive nasty little posts and I would like to say to these twisted queers and half-men, I feel sorry for you. All I ever wanted to do was be me. I hope one day you feel the same about yourself and release yourself from the petty, small-minded urges of polluting this message board and distracting its wonderful members. So go ahead and say whatever you want nasty about me, but know that we will all know by your insults just how small your pecker really is and how miserable your life has always been and how long it's been since any girl under 500 pounds responded to your cheap lines at the local pub."
