When you least expect it

Things happen when you least expect it, planning is not really worth it since a lot of times it will just leave to frustration. When you just let it be life will flow in an interesting way. I am saying it because today I fell asleep all through the evening, since after having a meal with my parents until about right now. And that wasn't my intention at all, I just wanted to watch some TV and then start studying Japanese.

Anyway, I've been wanting to do that for days now... It happened, and I feel gooood.

Which reminds me, last night we had a very very good time, and it just kind of happened.

After a day of doing stuff with my Dad, having some good food, going to the movies and all that, my brother and I felt a bit tired. Back at home I think all I did was finishing Grim Fandango (finally), and then I practically fell asleep.

My brother was as well sleeping soundly when the phone rang and Blanco told us he was ready to go to Karina's farewell party. I had said I would go, I wanted to go mostly because of him and due to everything that going there could cause with his current/former girlfriend, so I went. Waking my brother up wasn't that easy, but he was able to mutter some intelligent words by the time we got there. (It took him all the way to kind of wake up).

The funny part was that, when we arrived, Blanco and Karina were standing outside of this VERY quiet house, smiling a lot. Something was wrong. The last time we were there noise could be heard at least a block away, and people was walking in and out of that house all the time. Now though, it was all still... With those two figures laughing as we approached.

It wasn't that night. The freaking party was supposed to happen NEXT weekend...

So when Blanco arrived and knocked the door of this suspiciously silent house, two of Karina's friends walked out, saw him with a puzzled face, and ask -what are you doing here?-.

The good things is that Karina was there, they where going to have a girls night out clubbing and whatever, and we had some good laughs with her and because of the misunderstanding. After a while they tried to talked us into going with them, but it must be known by now that we don't enjoy clubbing, and the invitation felt a bit forced... They wanted their girls night out after all. So we skipped it and were left behind.

Of course we laughed quite some more at the whole situation, and then decided to drive around to find a place to drink something. At this time Victor was fully awake, so was I, and we wanted to do something. We went to this nice coffee house that was in a corner near by. As we approached we saw the ambient, how there were mostly couples in scattered tables here and there, candles, soft music and whatnot. Victor joked saying that we should walk in holding hands so we wouldn't be so out of place. Blanco said that we should just be ourselves until we get kicked out... To that I said that we had been kicked out of better places, we all agreed, and walked in.

Or almost walked in, because the minute we stepped on the door a waiter approached us and said that they had no service. To this I didn't know what to say, all I did was looking around and saw the place with a lot of people all over, it wasn't full, but they were certainly not closed. With a puzzled face I said -oh that's sad- and the waiter kindly smiled back without saying anything.

That was a record... We were kicked out before even walking in. [In those nice quiet places people doesn't seem to enjoy happiness, they just want to stare at each other's face not talking or muttering some romantic nonsense... When you have a normal conversation and laugh at the proper times you are looked at with disdain... argh... Screw them].

We drove around for a while, I decided to go for the "turn right" strategy, since somehow that one always seems to work for me. Of course it did and we found this little beer place that sold Micheladas, had snacks and all that good stuff. Now, the turn right strategy does work, but you have to turn every random amount of blocks, if you do it every block you will most likely end up in the same spot you started and running around in circles... Be smart about that.

Back in that place the conversation circled around girls... Go figure. When Blanco and I started talking about whatever Victor just couldn't believe what his ears were listening to. Now we are calm guys, really, but still Victor was amused and calling us names and all. He, at the moment, seemed to feel rather upset that he didn't enjoy his singlehood as much as he could. Whatever, having a girl has it's ups and downs, not having one too.

After some beers we called the night off. Good times.

** Cheers

ps. I used to say I hate beer... I think I still do, but I am not so sure anymore... Is it an adquired taste?.
By the way, with my father we watched The Forgotten, it's good
