The ongoing WOW is happening right now!

I arrived back in Florence about a week ago. It was an awesome 9 days of backpacking. Unfortunately our plans changed a couple times.

So it was me and 3 of the most annoying girls ever. I didn't really have a plan so I hopped on their bandwagon and traveled with them. I gotta stop doing that. If I wanna do something, I should just go do it alone.

Some of you guys actually know one of the girls. Her name is Claire. She went to Wayzata and hung out with Robin and Kyle. She was a stuck up bitch. Sorry everyone for the harsh language, but she is one of the most not chill girls ever. All she cared about was her hair. We were in London, and she just had to get this hair spray called Bumble and Bumble that they only make in London. I'm not even sure if it's that good. I think she just wants it so she can say that she has some rare shit. The other girls name is Molly. She's probably one of the nicest girls I've ever met. But at the same time, she was kinda annoying. I couldn't converse with her because it drove me crazy. How can someone be so nice and annoying at the same time? Then there was Deanna, she's actually pretty cool. But then these girls bought a magazine and just started talking about Jamie Spears being pregnant again and Hallie Berry breaking up. I was just like, "Who cares about this gossip trash?" Then they got kinda mad at me. Whoops. Lesson 1, if you're gonna travel with people, make sure there's a couple dudes to keep your sanity. So yeah, I probably won't be traveling with those girls ever again. Sorry Peter and hopefully Andrew as well, Claire and Molly were trying to join us for our adventures in December because they have a similar route. I don't think we'll be joining. We're better off as us 3 anyway. No distractions.

London was the coolest city I've ever been to. I don't really know how to describe it. It was just an awesome time. The people there are really nice. I made some friends at a couple pubs. We would just converse. They have cool accents too. Camden Town is like a Shakedown Street that is a city. I bought some souvenirs. I crossed Abbey Road too. It took us like 30 minutes just to find the exact spot. It felt good knowing that the Beatles were once walking in that exact spot.

Next was Ireland. We only stayed in Dublin. The Cliffs of Moher weren't happening. We just didn't have enough time to do everything. I wasn't too dissappointed because we were planning on seeing the fjords in Norway. We did see some other cliffs outside of Dublin though. That was a pretty site. The Guinness Storehouse was a cool thing to go to. But, I wasn't too crazy about Dublin though. It was just an ordinary city. The nightlife was fun in the Irish pubs though. Those Irish people get really rowdy. There was live Irish music playing. Everyone was singing and dancing around. I feel like if I would've seen Cork or the actual Cliffs of Moher, I would've appreciated Ireland a little more.

So our next stop was Norway. The original plan was to go up to the very north to watch some killer whales and see the beautiful northern lights at night. This was not going to be possible because it takes like 12 hours to get up north from Oslo and we really only had like a day and a half. So then our next idea was to check out the fjords of western norway. I found out about them when I researched them online. Screw whale watching and northern lights. The fjords are where it's at! I was even more excited about those. But unfortunately, we didn't get to go over their either because that takes like 6 hours and it just wasn't enough time. I would love to check them out at a later point in my life. Norway has to be one of the most beautiful countries I have ever seen. Except I only saw it in photos. Everyone check these out though.

So yeah, if anyone from the Krew ever wants to do a eurotrip in a few years to Norway, include me in! We ended up staying in Oslo. Oslo is a really cool city, except there really isn't much to do. It is big too. Reminded me of like Minneapolis on a coast. Because you kinda need major highways to get from place to place. It's not like Florence where you can walk through the whole city.

Funny story though. We went to a bar in Oslo. There was a one man band playing. He was just singin old classic tunes and playing the piano. We talked with him during his set break. A pretty cool guy actually. He was taking requests too. So I was gonna go request a song for the girls. And as I was about to approach him at the grand piano, some big giant guy stops me. He was yelling in some accent to me. He was like, "Hey! What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I thought about it for a bit. I answered back, "Hey man. It's cool. Don't worry about it." He wasn't having it though. So he says back "No! What the fuck do you think your doing?" I said back "I'm just doing what I'm doing. It's not your business guy." He answers back, "No! What the fuck are you doing here!" This time I'm kinda pissed. I respond, "Hey Buddy! Don't FUCKIN worry about it! Now let me get through here!" Then he puts his arm around my shoulder and says "Hey! You're cool. I like you. Come on through." And in my head I'm just thinking, what the fuck was all that about earlier? Whatevs. You just gotta show people who's boss I guess.

So that was my midterm break. It was a really good time overall. I saw some autumn colors on the leaves. Reminded me of going to the disc course a year ago in Ptown. I got some stuff done over break as well. Got some of you fools some souvenir gifts.

I checked my messages when I was on break. I found out that one of my best friends, Andrew, might be joining Peter and I for our Euro travels. That got me so excited that we might actually reunite as the 3 of us once again. I don't know if he'll join for sure. But hearing that just got me super happy and I had a lot of inspiration musically. Unfortunately I don't have my electric guitar and amp. I miss playing it a ton.

I've been hanging out in Florence the past week. Went to a soccer game on Wednesday night. I'm glad I went to it. They are crazy about their soccer team here. It was Florence vs. Intermilan. Ended up as a tie score of 0 to 0. The next night we went out again. Stopped at a pub and I did some karaoke. Pumped the crowd up with some Twist and Shout. Had my Ferris Beuller moment. Then last night was Halloween and we did a pub crawl. I shaved my beard into a handle bar mustache with a soul patch, and kept the sideburns that get wider as you go out. I went as a pornstar. And ended the night with some ass from a girl. It was about time. Haven't been doing so well lately. Well I got my game back neuscrill!
