My school the circus

I was telling someone about this recently and I thought I'd share here. Its abut my school in France. It's a business school, and a pretty reputable one too but sometimes I feel like I go to a circus. Now that I'm on the corporate grind for a minute doing this internship, things are quite dull in comparison and I kinda miss that madhouse. I was just telling someone about the day I got to school and they were having international day, so there were all these cultural clubs doing their various presentations. Some had food, some had activities, games etc. but the Moroccan club absolutely took the cake. This is why...


Like where the hell do you find a camel in Paris??

This was right in the main hall in school. loves it.
So sometimes its a luxury sports car exhibition (like seriously they had Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc. in the main hall), other times its a freaking camel, or its the undergrad kids going into classes to serenade girls with roses and spanish guitars...its always some damn thing going on.
And this is why I love it!

Celebrity sighting in Prague

So I'm walking through Old Town Square after drinks with friends today, and I spot a group of black folk.  I had to stare a little because such sightings are very rare in this city...and it wasn't just one or two black people, more like a whole group of 5, 6 whoaa.  Lol, I'm sorry but I was intrigued. 
So as I'm focusing on this group, 1 of them becomes vaguely familiar, like I know the dude or something.  And then it finally hit me.  I had just downloaded a free episode of 90210 (a new show on CW thats a spin-off of Bev Hills) recently and watched it and this guy was from the show.  Tristan Wilds. I also saw him in The Secret Life of Bees (which was such a good book AND movie, btw).  I never really got hooked on The Wire, but he was in it too and Half Nelson as well.  I just looked up his bio on wikipedia, and I see that he's also from New York...Staten Island (ewww) but New York nonetheless.  

So now I'm officially a fan.  I hope he loved Prague.

Mama's coming to visit and Buena Vista Social Club

Yay! My mom's coming to visit me in Prague.  I'm super excited to host my first visitor in this city and show them all its glory.  Even though she's coming on what seems like a whirlwind visit, i.e. barely for 2 days, I'm still glad to get something.  The woman is sooo busy, and we're both getting to that age where I have to start worrying about her health and how much she works. I'm glad to give her an excuse to just slow it down a little and get some rest in this new city of mine.
Then also, I get to go see Buena Vista perform. Soooo excited about that.  I've been listening to the album lately just to get myself in the groove for the concert and I swear I think that South America is somewhere in the nearest future for me!  Cuba is restricted, but I could do with a little Brazil, Chile, Peru, Argentina...geez anywthere in that region will do!!!

I've lost a friend

Just when I started with this whole loving more, being more open tip, this happens.  But it's all well and good, maybe this friend just couldn't handle all the love and openness I was ready to shower. Lol.  

So I decided to talk to said friend about something that had been on my mind for a while.  Granted, it probably wasn't the most pleasant topic as it concerned her directly and something she said to me a loooong time ago.  I just thought no matter what, we were on the same side and that being good friends it would work out regardless.  Well I was dead WRONG.  There was no understanding, I was called ridiculous, and worse she called for a termination of the friendship.  It was amazing.  What is even more amazing is hearing that this friend has called a few people to brief them of the demise of our friendship and even made some insulting remarks about my mum.  

It sucks that things had to end up this way, but I think deep down we both know its for the better. We're totally different people and I think fundamentally, we honestly didn't know how to be friends to each other.  It always felt to me like the closer we got, the more we disagreed on opinions, views, life...everything.
