EUROPE , WHAT I LEARNED
Tuesday, July 15, 2008EUROPE A SUMMARY
So what did I learn?
London is a lot of fun and they have a new subway system called "the tube" ( bring ear plugs )
Paris is the prettiest city on earth but sometimes has an interesting odor
All flights overseas have at least one hassidic jew on them ( all flights on virgin america have about 40 )
My Morning Jacket are some of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet
Never give an english guy on your flight and seated next to you any of your sleeping pills no matter what he says or does....because he is english and thinks any drug can be put into him without any great effect.....I should also add, not to give the pills to said gentlemen after he has had 8-9 beers. Had to shake him to wake him. But then in true english form he showed me a great way to get from heathrow into london for £15....thanks peter.
most Americans Traveling abroad annoy the shit out of me
Same thing goes for canadians because you are so proud about being canadian with your stupid flag on your backpack and wont just cop to the fact that you live in "new montana" and that eventually we are going to run out of trees and water and need both of yours.
Cricket is a cool sport and not that difficult to learn
Not all the children of celebrity's are assholes. I met one that's just about the loveliest human I've met to date and she can dance really well. Just don't ask her to play bass
That my friends Simon and Cassie are REALLY in love and threw an amazing engagement party and give me faith that love can and will conquer all.

Les McCann no matter where you are, is a swingin' mf'er and the funniest mf'er you will ever hope to meet
I write music in a different way when Im in london or paris and prefer to create music there. I just sounded like a c**t
French girls are fine , and know it
English girls are fine and most of the time DONT know it. But when they do, watch out, PROBLEMS...big problems.
Wearing a FLY WILLIAMS t-shirt as made by myself and zach gets you love, a lot of love from strangers.
The Eurostar train service is the shit , their website has now tricked me into buying first class tickets twice out of 5 trips tough , so Im the dumb one in that equation.
Stephane and Janet have lovely children named Paul and Mark
The Bal Des Pompiers is a bit annoying but fun at the end of the day.
I am getting closer and closer to coming to grips with my fathers passing
North London religious Jews are annoying ( just like New York religious jews ) Ok, we're chosen, stop telling everyone about it. how about being a human first???
Patrick Bruel still cannot sing well at all. Could he ever?
The guy playing sax at 3am just under the bridge at 68 rue qaui de seine can play his ass off and sounded like Sonny Rollins. Good show man! great tone, great harmonic and melodic sense as well.
Alan and His Wife Cynthia are a really lovely couple and they've just moved to London, look them up, they would make great friends.
Instant messenger is an incredible lifeline to the states and my friends and family. Loved all the chats I had with you guys while I was away.
I dont go to sleep before 5 am when Im in europe no matter what time I get up.
Smoking is a pain in the ass, and should be avoided at all costs, everyone in france and england smokes though and , fuck, sometimes I smoke too.
Vincent and Virginie are incredibly nice for letting me stay in their flay in White City Estates
Wimbeldon is fucking gorgeous and Cassie and Simon were really incredibly sweet to invite me to be their guest the day of the mens final
Adam....older adam , Simon's friend , is a hysterically funny human being.
Flying in first class is like listening to Lenny Bruce, Flying in coach class is like listening to Dane Cook against your will. ( has he ever made a jew laugh? )
Doing number 2 on the tour bus is FORBIDDEN....doing number two on a commercial flight is incredibly uncomfortable.
I need to listen to more of Fats Waller's music
Cumin is an herb whose appeal and powers elude me.
