Happy New Year!


Back in Tarragona now. Had a great time in Barcelona with my family. Ate lots of tasty food and had not one, but TWO delicious steaks! (A good steak is hard to find in Spain.) Saw the sights (not a lot that I hadn't seen already), blah blah blah. Good to be back home, mainly because I have internet access here. It's safe to say that my interweb addiction is pretty large. I didn't even know that Saddam was executed! It's like without the internet, I live in a media vacuum. This must have to do also with the fact that I've pretty much completely stopped watching TV here since it's generally not very good.
I did discover though that they show porn (penetrative and everything!) on regular TV stations after midnight. It was kind of nuts. I know Americans are all uptight about that kind of stuff (which I think is exaggerated), but twelve a.m. is not that late and it seems weird that a kid can turn on the TV and see a man slapping a woman's face with his penis. Maybe it's just me?
I was just trying to think of a funny story from Barcelona to tell you all and the first one that came to mind is this: I was sitting on the corner of the street we were staying on, waiting for my mom when my dad said, "Check out this guy walking up." So I look and there is a man, probably in his 70s, walking down the street totally naked. Well, naked except for the fact that his butt is tattooed black and his front was reddish (I don't know if that part was tattooed or not) and his foreskin was pierced. Oh yeah, he was wearing shoes and socks too. It was probably around 10 or 11 a.m. As if that wasn't hysterical enough, there was a group of about 15 giggling girls following him/gawking. It was like he had his own little parade. It's the kind of thing a totally insane man would do, but he seemed pretty relaxed and not-crazy. I didn't have enough time to get a picture...sorry!
More later when I think of something interesting.
