it's no game...

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.- Sun Tzu

Holiday!
I need one. Moving is a bitch baby. But I'm quite excited. Tonight i show the flat to two folks. Two other people called to see it the past two days and never showed. Renting a flat in Madrid (on both sides) is one of most surreal experiences ever.

I am barred from the event
I really don't understand the situation
So where's the moral
People have their fingers broken
To be insulted by these fascists it's so degrading
And it's no game
-David Bowie

I don't usually work on Viernes, but it's nice everyone else is off too. In 20 minutos i talk to my douche bag, carpetbagging, ratbag lawyer. He contacted me after some surly emails. He better fucking explain himself before Bobba Fett disintegrates his ass.

The holiday tomorrow is about the Virgin of Madrid (forget her name: probably Pilar or Maria). When the Moors invaded (or one of the times) this castle in Madrid hid a statue of the Virgin in the wall. Decades and decades later, when the Moors left, they prayed to find it and the wall fell down, exposing the virgin. Probably a crock of shit, but it's a day off. I will enjoy this weekend because i work next weekend in Segovia. I can't wait to see the Roman Aqueduct.

Mel got tickets to the Seahawks – 49ers game in Seattle on Monday night and is taking Mum. How cool is that? The Seester wanted me to go, but tis way too far <9>. I know they will have a blast!!!!!

Otherwise, all is well. I'm a teacher and I live in Madrid and have a cool Spanish girlfriend. I mean, what the fuck do I really want from my life???

The End of All Things
Time to head to the locotorio to call. Oh Brian, you better have a good fucking answer for me or your ass is grass. Dare I live out the American dream and kill my own lawyer?

IT APPEARS AS IF AGREEMENT WILL BE REACHED. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT MY LAWYER IS JUST A LAZY PIECE OF SHIT, WITH EXCUSES COMING OUT HIS EARS. I AM NOT REMOVING THE BOUNTY FROM HIS HEAD, EVEN AFTER THIS IS DONE.

I slept with the heat on last night, very low, and my sinuses are still dryer than Las Vegas, so I bought a humidifier today. Isn't this blog just spellbinding? So fucking interesting!!!!!!

Okay – time to make sure I have all the dead Cucharachas picked up before the renters come. I never them alive; just dead (or dying). They must have sprayed before i moved in. Whatever – once I was cooking on the burner at Maria's and a cucharacha the size of my nose ran across the stove – and i could smell that i had burned him! Welcome to Madrid.

Children round the world,
put camel shit on the walls
They're making carpets on treadmills,
or garbage sorting

Neither person showed up tonight. That's 4 for 4. What the hell is wrong with these people? Fuck it – i'm going to bed. It's been a long day for an old man like me.

Ugh!!! The guy who was coming to see the apartment got lost, but I didn't get the phone call and it hit my vm at 2 am!!!!!! The gods conspire against me, but I am a reed in the wind that bends but does not break.

Time to finish the last wave of cleaning. Then off to Getafe.

Put a bullet in my brain,
and it makes all the papers
And it's no game
