Requiem for a fat man....

i get up
i get down
-yes


Ooch! The Pack showed they could take the Seahawks best punch, and then demolished them! What an old school ass-thumping.

Good bye fat man, as I believe Holmgren will, and should retire. Cut Alexander too. Let someone else pay him. It was fun while it lasted, Homegrown. Thanks for turning the Hawks into a winner. You´re not the genius you think you are, but the Hawks became a better team under you.

The Packers looked great. I think they will beat whoever wins tomorrow. Adios American football for one more year. It´s only Spanish football from here on in.

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky come tumbling, tumbling down

FLASHBACK: 9 de Enero

I woke up at 3:00 this morning and never got back to sleep. I took an hour nap between classes, but have been chugging on three hours sleep. Jet lag she is a bitch. I was doubter but now i believe. Maria is dumbfounded as to how all i could do was sleep all weekend an now i am an insomniac. As am i.

But i am now burnt out on the no sleeping thing, although i know i'll get by. I had just forgotten how trippy and bizarre the whole scene was.

I saw Hillary won NH after showing some emotion. Let's please show some emotion instead of looking like robots!

Shrubby looks like a yam that's been up a bear's ass for 16 months. A GAY bear! Take that bible humping America!

It was like 53 F yesterday, just lovely. I tell Spanish people how it was -4 in CT the day i left (-20 C) and they scream “Joder!” and stare at me like it must have been Armagedon.

Tomorrow i am going to see Atletico play Valloladid in the 1^st leg of the round of 16 for the King's Cup (Copa del Rey). Should be a blast.

I am listening to an old Cream bootleg that is just ferocious – a throat grabbing version of “stepping out.”

Vale (Okay). I go to sleep. Finalmente!

10:29 - 10 De Enero

Got some sleep. Only about 5 hours, but i'll take it!

14:55 – 11 de Enero

Diedo Forlan had 5 good chances- but couldn't get the ball in the net. The match ended 0 – 0, with the the second and final leg in Valloladid. I had a great seat in the lower center.

Then I went to the Mural bar and saw JJ and a bunch of people to say “Feliz ano nuevo!”

And i got to bed at 7am and just got up now! Oi! Such is Spain. Such is jet lag week. And so on and so forth.

- I found my students at Banco Santander, so that is all sorted! This is good. And I picked up some extra classes on monday night from 6-8. Oh yeah!
