The Engagement Weekend

Ok so again I didn't get any sleep, not because anything happened to keep me up (dirty minds), we just had to get up early the next morning. Or rather afternoon I should say. LOL. The night before I was invited to an engagement party (I KNOW RIGHT?) Here less then 24 hours and I'm being invited to parties! Sweetness! This means good food!!!! Around 1:30, after packing and a good shower I crammed into the small car with the mom, dad, and Joana. Then as if we didn't have enough room we picked up Joana's boyfriend (see told you nothing happened.... I know it hasn't stopped me before, but still *wink*) and drove for two and half hours to a place called Macuco, so small you cant find it on a map! True we did stop once and I got a kick out of using the bathroom only to find a wall of sexy undies in there if you wanted to buy them. '(Its like fuck sex we are going back to enjoying forplay!! Love it.) *Note: Make list of odd things about Brazil. We also stopped for awhile to do some things for the mom in a small town that you could tell was very poor. But it was still beautiful. The pic is of a yard "gnome" which is really a naked woman for your front lawn....

So I passed out in the car as soon as it got dark, it is winter so around 530pm the sun went down. I missed the curvy road trip and was awaken by a loud bunch of Brazilian people. It was about 8 or so I'm guessing but my time clock is very wrong here. But I opened the door and was greeted by by kisses from a large and wonderful family and a nice cold beer. Oh yes and a shot of this special alcohol that only Brazilian people can make because it comes from a nut or fucking something that is only here in Brazil. Whatever. It was good, the boys were impressed I didn't need a chaser, never do. Then there was a shit load of bread, butter, and FANTASTIC cheese shoved down my tube! LOL. The more I tired to say no the more food I got. But they gave me just enough to make my tummy happy and the jet lag to really kick in I guess. Because I said NO to going out! Not that there is anywhere to go because it is a farming town, but I still said no. I don't think this counts as stopping the party only because I drank and had a few shots before I called it quits and went to bed.

So guess what I woke up to that morning? Hell yah a fucking cock!! What else? LOL. Yep I was the last person in bed still living the rockstar life and yet when I came out there was food on the table. More butter, bread, cheese, tea, coffee, fruit, etc. And they were starting to cook for the party that night. So to my utter enjoyment they pulled in a WHOLE pig like in Hawaii and stuffed a potato in its mouth and tried to scare me with it. HAHA...HA. Yah what do I do? I go up and start playing with the dead thing's nose, poking it and making my ~eeeeeeeeeee sound. Basicly a way of me calling the about to be cooked pig cute! He was.

And at this point I would like to add I LOVE MY FUCKING CAMERA!!! Thanks to the fucker who broke in and stole my camera, over 300 in cash and my dirty panties (yes that is what I said) I was able to get a new cannon and it takes amazing pics. This pig pic would be one of many that my friend Phil Holland would enjoy. I actually thought that I would have loved to have him around this weekend for the reason of what an amazing photshoot it would be.

Anyway. So they were cutting meat, dicing veggies, brewing, stewing, boiling, chopping, sauteing, etc., all this food and I had yet to meet all the family! They were great. The bride was 18 and the groom.....26 but hell she's legeal and to die for!! The cousins were a blast. I hung with them. Beers and bbq are kinda my thing. One guy looked like Zane, odd we got along great....lol. Not much english but they loved teaching me every food word they could. Now I know how to say the most random things.... lol. But that is what we did all day. Cooked, ate, drank, until they asked if I wanted to see the farm! OHHH YES I DOOOO OOOOOO!!

When I said yes they gave me no time to go back, tossed me in the car in my pj's and we drove through the small and poor city. Now when you think famr you think cows and pigs, well they had these things, but um, in the middle of the tropics? LOL. That's right we drove up into the mtns that looked like driving through Santa Cruz and then BAM a farm. Complete with milking machines and about 12 different kinds of friut tress. From what I got the town is like a small town in the south. There are families that have been there for generations. Joana's is one of the oldest families they have.

They are the ones that supply Rio and most of Brazil with milk products! TOO COOL! I was given the grand tour through fruit trees, flowering trees (seeing my favorite flower growing wild!) go to see the animals, pet baby cows and walk through the milking process.
I was blown away, it was so amazing. They even had an old run down building that I guess was slave housing before the got rid of slavery. Now they are re doing it so they can move the family there. They are getting older and want life to be easy on them. Sweet.... So I really can't tell you how cool a 2 hour tour was, but I loved it!!!! I got a bushca (a tree sponge, looks like a sea sponge and for the same thing) and we were tempted to eat the wild mushrooms before the wedding. We didn't..... sad...... it would have been a trip for me! HAHAHAHA.

When we got back to the house THEY WERE STILL EATING!!! Now it was a late lunch and there was so much food, not even the 32 people there could finish everything. But we tried! *Note: Make food post! LOL. Then I changed and hung out at the BBQ and played with all the animals. I think animals like me because every where I go they follow me around!! LOL!

After we had full tummies we got ready for the party. It was 830 when we got there and it didn't start till 930 and we didn't eat until 1045!!! It was amazing! 50+ people at a tiny open reception and it was warm. The best sweet wine I've had yet and the food, ok ok ok, I know you get it! But you should have been there!!! We had about a 5 corse meal and then the groom got up and asked his bride to marry her again. It is a tradition to ask the father (her's had passed so he asked the grandfather and uncle) if he can have her hand in marriage again for the family. So Joana translated for me and some sweet and wonderful things were said. The family took turns speaking then they put rings on and we ate dessert! SO MUCH CHOCOLATE! It took up three tables! Again more pics to show you! My camera had run out of battery by that time and I used the iphone instead! Thank god for that. I loved how I was in a little top and light jacket and everyone else was in snow jackets because they thought that 60 degrees is too cold!!! LOL! I love winter here!

When we got home I passed out. I think. We had been drinking and the last thing I want to remember (I remember everything) is when this guy was hitting on me big time. Saying he couldn't believe I wasn't interested in him. His cousin's weremaking fun of him and to prove that I didn't like him I kissed the Brazilian version of George Clooney! He was about 45 and hot!! LOL. That was amazing because all the women in the family were clapping for us! HAHAHA. After that the guy got pissed off and left for another table. It took him so long to get to my table to begin with. He had his mom ask if he could sit with me. Big story but I don't want to remember. LOL. So I'm guessing I passed out.

Woke up the next morning and had a small breakfast even though I was stillfull from last night. Hung out with the boys again then passed out for 4 hours again, woke up and ate lunch (BBQ!!!!) and then we went around to the other families' houses so we could see them. And to another farm where I got to see baby pigs and pet baby cows too!! TOO FUN!

After the drive home I got in the shower and Joana took me to the mall. It was fun to see everything that we have in America there, but not fun seeing that a pair of All Stars is like 120 real, which means half of that American dollars. Everything is soooomuch here it isn't even funny! I paid 4 real for a double cheeseburger at McDonalds!!! That is how bad it is. A big mac is 12 and meals are even more depending on what you get! So the point of us going to the mall was to see... SEX AND THE CITY!!! Which was soooo good and cooler because it had subtiltles for everyone else.nAll the movies and tv shows here do so I can watch whatever I want most of the time. But I don't. I'm never home! LOL! So after the movie we went home, ate and fell asleep. It was a very long weekend!!! If I left anything out I'll have to go back and update but really it was a long weekend!

Just a note: Only you....

So for all you dirty minds that thought I wasn't getting any sleep because of well, you know, then shame on you! At the same time I know you wouldn't put it past me with my current rep with the ladies. But really I'm not ly'n when I say I'm really not a player.... lol ... ok not a big one! HAHA. Tried to fight those demons and it didn't work. I just love to love. So I guess the real me is back! Watch out I've been hiding for too long!! But don't get me wrong when I say at the moment I've got a small tug on my heart. I still can't let this one go.

She haunts me. I see her when I sleep. I hear her voice. I hear her laugh. It kills me sometimes. But day by day I know it will be ok again. Yet the thought of touching her, running my fingers through her short brown hair, like feathers excites me. Feeling that "God save me" soft skin every where I can. The wild bark color of her skin, the sexy tats that add just enough personality to the already attractive amount of it. Her figure that I wish I could touch now still. Those perfect curves drive me crazy. Girl you know I love them. That figure and those hands and legs. You drive me crazy still. Your kiss is the sweetest yet. When you touch me you're so careful it makes me smile. I love the way you let me be dominate and hold you tight, pull you close in my arms, take your breath away. But just know even with all the other amazing things we do, and they are amazing *wink* I only need to look in your eyes. The eyes that smile at me even when your not. The deepness of brown and honey and that sexy wink of yours. Girl you kill me!! Yes all I need is your eyes. True the sound of us together laughing fills me with butterflies and I can't help but smile, or the look you give me when you don't think I'm watching, or that smile. That soft kiss me smile. Hell I need you, all of you. In my buzzing state of mind when I'm out drinking with friends I feel you next to me and I feel relaxed thinking of meeting your large family and just sitting with them being fully excepted for who we are. Hearing "pass the girl a beer and some meat on the BBQ" is the perfect sound at the moment. The perfect vision is your mouth, that tempting ring that I will never stop biting on because of the way you sound when I do. If you read this, maybe you might, then know that I miss you. That I'd love to see where this can go if I come back. But be happy until that point. Just the thought of you keeps me content. Keeps me at bay, but no promises girl. Just do what you gotta do and so will I. But your name is in my mind more then I'd like and your my favorite addiction...

So to my ladies, ahhhh you've got competition! LOL! No J/K! No, I want to thank you for being you. For letting me kiss you, or touch you, dance with you or just be with you at the time. For the sweet nights where I hope I did you right and said what you wanted to hear, gave you what you wanted of me and maybe we can venture that way again but at the moment I've got this thing and I really need another... fix. I know only my girls will understand this if they read it, to everyone else I'm really not a player, I love em when they want love and I let em go when they need to be... nothing more, nothing less. *Wink*

(I know my gay boys are shaking their heads at me... You love me and you know it!!! Kisses*)

Day One

*Note: I know I'm a few days late but take in mind I've had an interesting time with no internet to jot down notes. Also I wanted to be somewhat rested so I could write more in the way I know I can. Hopefully with wit and a little more brains. Names and places included this time. I would love to do a timeline but I don't really no what time it is ever!! I also want to add pics and videos which I uploaded a program I hope works from here to do that!! Oh and the coin toss video is on this post... I couldn't get it to go away... Enjoy!

So to start off day one remember that I still have yet to sleep and it was 3 days ago so I hope I don't leave anything out!

I got off the plane (the very stuffy, cramped, feel like you've caught every cold possible plane) and walked into a giant terminal and walked about 20feet before standing in a line for American's and "others" not from Brazil for about 30 minutes. I did however meet Victoria (love that name). She was a beautiful "book worm" Asian girl who is here for volenteer work. We talked about the diseases floating around through the bugs here. Take in mind we didn't get any shots because the Embassy told us we didn't need to. So we were a little freaked out. But we traded emails anyway and told eachother if anyone of us catches something we'll call eachother mom's for help..... not like they can do much. After getting through I stopped to exchange money ( LOVE THAT I'M RICH OVER HERE!!! MAUHAHAHAHAHA *evil laugh*) and I met Scott a fighter that recruits fighters to bring back to the states. I guess I'm going to a kick ass fight while I'm here, don't hate!! So after getting bout another 80 cents per dollar I waited for my fucking bag for about 45 minutes!!! But when the only white bag with stars all over it popped out I could relax, alittle, I still had to find my ride.... *Note: For aslong as I'm staying I had a very small bag compared to other people. I guess I pack light. It's the nomad in me.

Coming out of the gate thank God there was Joana!!! My beautiful Brazilian girl. Oh I love her. She has the most amazing figure that she hates. Dark skin, brown eyes, long brown hair, a lovely butterfly laugh and an ass I would kill for!! A few kisses and we were on our way! I guess I got off at the same time as a famous soccer team so the airport was packed!!! Saw the news reel later that day! We drove from Rio De Janeiro to Niteroi where Joana lives. I can't tell you how amazing the drive over the giant bridge was. I could see huge battle ships in the bay and the other far off cities surrounded by mtns. Or after we got off the bridge how her town had large islands covered in lights all over it sitting near the ocean beach. The smells made my mouth water. But again the thought of food kills me anyway!

Now before I get to Joana's house let me tell you how crazy Rio is already. They have motels were people go for a night to have sex. Not like the Ranch but you bring your mate to have sex for a night then leave with then they next morning. They have themed rooms and will card you if you look under 18! OK now you know....

I've been lucky enough to be blessed in life I think. So many amazing things have happened in my life and this topped the cake. I was a little worried about the town and the safty I'd be in when I got here but Joana's mom is a lawyer and her dad owns a factory and her house, well, she's loaded I guess because I'm staying in a fucking mansion!!! Pool included. Her family (mom, step dad, two brothers "older one very cute", and cat who's blind) is amazingly nice and very welcoming. Not much English but were pleased at my Portuguese! Hard language topick up but I'm getting it! *Note: Will upload pics of her house.

So I got to the house and took a shower, it had been awhile.... lol. Then we went out to eat! This always sounds good to me. But Joana my love knows me well enough that she took me to a buffet! OMG! I can not tell you how fucktastic this place was. A buffet full of food I've never had AND everything I have. Best part was I could get any type of sushi I wanted! This would be the third day in a row! But not only that Iamazed Joana by loading myplate with 6 different salads,7 pieces of sushi, every type of thing I've never seen before and then sat down to dig in. BUT!!!! There are men that walk around with fresh meat on sticks just cooked and they go around asking if you want any. You can say yes or no with a little card. Now I love meat so I had a seprate plate with 16 different meats on it. Yes I ate them all and those would include everything from CHICKE HEARTS TO OSTRAGE!!! I FUCKING LVE BRAZIL!!! I also came to find they don't like anything SPICEY!!! I WANT TO DIE NOW!!!! I've lived and lived well!

So after that I was due for a nap, passing out on the car ride home which was 10 minutes away. HAHA. So I got my small nap. When I say small I mean about 2 hours if that. Then I was ready to go out and party. ALWAYS!!! So Joana and I got dressed up and went to pick up her friends Ranata and Minuel who are both sexy as hell. Minuela more because she has amazingly curly blond locks. But both are very seductive and are teases I will add... Damn them. Then we went to a bar and waited for the club toopen. While we were there I had the pleasure of finding out there is a Cooley Jackson in all places! This guy we watched from a distance as he danced, but worse through his sweaty head all over, spraying people on the dance floor. To a point where I was turned around and I thought it was raining!!! YUCK!!

When the club opened (Democrates) the 9 player band started up (Anjos de Lua) and I was in the mists of the Samba. A dance I will learn to get before I leave here. The most amazing part is the women dancing together. The pure sexiness of them throwning each other over the floor almost killed me. But it did, when I lived in France as well. Hell it does it to me anywhere but my three things in life are (Music, Dance and Food) in that order and my life is perfect!!

So I was about 4 beers down (smaller then America) and being pulled around by rnadom beautiful girls. I did get to salsa once or twice and get in a few good claps from the crowd and a kiss on the cheek from a very flushed Brazilian woman. Point goes to me!! HAHA! But after that many beers and dancing we needed food, so the girls ordered some sort of sausage covered in this powder like stuff that looks like cream of wheat. But tastes amazing! No really it was amazing. More dancing and non stop beer for 4 more hours and I was ready to eat again. So I go out by myself and find a little joint that serves me a giant burger for 3 bucks!! But the best part: Ham, hamburger, bacon, egg, corn, peas, and potatoes all inbetween the bun! I'M IN HEAVEN!!!

The girls found me scarfing down on the side of the road chatting with the vendors and took me in the car. 6girls crammed into a 4 person car, things are bound to happen. Imust say the video I am going to upload is too funny and a must see! Least to say we made it home, more or less. My first thought was jumping in the pool but at 3 am I didn't think it would be a good idea, seeing as naked was my only option... not that it stops me.... So we went upstairs and Joana and I passed out in the same bed. Firstbit of sleep I thought I was going to get.... didn't happen.....lol. Maybe I should add Sleep to my list but you can sleep when you're dead!!!

Hello Brazil!!!

So hello everyone! Oh man it has been an interesting week, almost an interesting month I should say. Bringing the party back from Vegas wasn't a great idea but it worked for me!!!

Anyway. I had been up for the last two days (I have friends to vouge for me), and I mean up, no sleep and always doing something. Packing, working two jobs, doing work online, making sure everything was perfect before I left. Least to say I'm here and there are a few more things I could have done! But being up for two days (sorry to the friends I bothered in those 36 hours and thanks to the friends who helped me out!) wasn't very good on the ride to Sac.

Robbie, his friends and I crammed into the back of his Toyota Tacoma at 5:30 AM and headed out of town. We had planned on spending the whole day in Sac so we left early. On the drive over the hill we pulled out some pretty rocking mustaches and aviators and impressed some gas station people with our po po good looks! The pics are pretty funny. After just hanging in Sac (getting some time in to play a "Ukalali" which I'm getting better at thanks to the guitar lessons) we went to this AMAZING SUSHI PLACE! Now anyone that knows me, knows how much I like food. OK how much i LOVE food. If you been lucky enough to see the "happy food shake" you will be happy to find my food was having a good time in my belly from shaking too much. *Note: It seems as if I've been a bottemless pit for the last week.*

Then I was taken to the Amtrak to hop on a nice sunset train ride to SF. Little did I know that the train was going to be right next to the water and a beach, setting sunset, view on a train was so far the high light of my trip (that and the coin tossing/YouTube video for that one!) Took a trip to the coffee cart got some hot tea thinking when I got to SF I could hit the sack and thiat would help me sleep. After that a nice bus ride from Emeryville to the Bart I found that my friend had a last minute gig in LA and least to say ditched me!! Victor you rock my socks off!!! LOL. So no sleep just yet.....

But again knowing me, you know that improvising is my big thing, which I do a lot lately! LOL. So sitting at the Bart trying to get a hold of other friends and even a photographer I worked with I was currently stranded. Until PABLO!!

Well "P" as he likes to be called, said that his mom raised him right and good things happen to people who do good things (I was in love with a very large black man now!!!) if you understand that is how I live my life then it makes sense why I would hehehe. So he told me to come party with him and his friend and yes I went. I know this freaks most people out, ok all people out, but I just get feelings about people and his was good. TURNS OUT...... his cousin is a football player for the Oakland Raiders, I think Edward Thomas is his name, #55! HOW DO I MEET ALL THESE PEOPLE?!!! (When I say this it is because since my return home I've met so many people that would blow you away with either who they are or the connections they have, and I love them for them, all of them are great people!! So again thank you to those people for showing me the most amazing times of my life!!!)

So we went to his place/loft in Jack London Square to what seemed like the top floor of this beautiful apartment building. This place was beautiful! The entrance had leather, red paint, beautiful flooring and decor. I was treated to wine and a good football game before we headed to this cop bar called the Warehouse a few blocks away. Nice place and very safe. The fact I was drinking and dancing with cops was the best part!!! After still being up now going on 48 hours we went to back to P's place late, I got 3 hours sleep then was off to the Bart, spent an hour at a local coffee shop flirting through text messages (hehehe) and at the Embassy getting my visa after that. Got on the Bart back to the airport and off to Miami.

The 5 hour plane ride was nice, the views were perfect. I loved seeing the red rocks of Utah and the dips and cracks of the canyons in Colorado. The farming in the mid west and the almost tropical views of the South. And the welcome from the City of Sex was perfect. Hot weather and the most beautiful girls ever!! Not to mention almost all of the ones I met were gay. That was AMAZING! *Note: Party in Miami with those girls when I visit Don...* Then after a 3 hour layover off to the plane for Brazil!!!!

I wont lie at this point I can't remeber how long I've been up and couldn't sleep very well on the plane over. The views were amazing out the window though. I did notice that America's view is very perfect, with lines and direct seperations compared to the hills and mtns of Brazil. The moon from a plane is great too. Waking up to the sun and the amazing rain clouds bundeling up under the jet engines over this beautiful country was fantastic!!! I have some great pics of that!!!

So after 8 hours on a plane I was finally in Brazil.... still not much sleep.....fun.
