man what a crazy night.....
i left work at 7 and i headed out into sarajevo within the hour....
i met up with irfan down by his house and we headed off to some bar in the muslim sector...
along the way i had a very in depth conversation with one of irfan's friends. we spoke of the war and what sarajevo really thinks about things and how much everyone has things wrong. he spoke of his serb friends in belgrad. he spoke of his desertion from the bosnian army 6 months into the war. he spoke of the club he is trying to open. he spoke of his want to travel to america and be free to think, and be free to speak, and be free to believe in what ever you feel is right and not fear death. everything here boggles my mind. it's diffrent.
i'm just so glad that i have been afforded the chance to really meet the people of this country. to really spend time with them and see how they live.
at the bar we hooked up with some more of irfan's friends...it was some girl's birthday and they were celebrating so i was too...big dumb me hanging out with a bunch of muslim bosnian's in sarajevo. crazy. we began to get drunk and some how, i don't know how, i started talking to this absolutly beautiful bosnian girl. she goes to Sarajevo University and she studies psychology. we got really deep on each other about relationships and her english blew my mind. she understood slang and phrases so well for someone who has never even been close to the states. T.V. just throws american ideas all over the world. we began to talk very closely and touching as well. i enjoyed it a little bit. the girl's party was heading to another bar and she asked me to go. and shit i said yes. so i left with a bunch of bosnian girls on an adventure.
man i felt good. she then began trying to psycologize me and figure out how my head works with a load of strange questions about water and colors...and all my answers could not be more then three words. i think i did alright. i surprised her a couple times.
irfan ended up catching up with us. i was happy.
the girls couldn't seem to find the bar they wanted to go to so irfan suggested one that he really liked. as soon as we got there i could tell the girls didn't care for it.
it was rather small and the music selection was heavy metal. not really my best drinking music either. i asked her if she was about to leave and she said yeah she had to go with her friends. she looked right at me and told me she was sorry she would never see me again, and she hoped i had a wonderful life. i was sad at this. but i was i drunk and i kissed her on her forehead and she laughed and she want away.
we left a while later and went yet to another bar called fis. i'd been here a few times and i liked it less everytime we ended up there. i made the best of it because i knew we were going to a rightous party in a bit. to damn smokey. and a strange mix of music.
so we was gone.
the party was being held in a playhouse. every few weeks or so the promoters rent the building and throw a huge rave. it was so packed but the beats were just right. i dug in immediately.
irfan went for the hook up and i made sure i met her. you know....for future reference and all.
i ran into another chick i had met out at mark's house....her name was nina but i admit i didn't know it until this afternoon....i spread the wealth at her a little bit and we all had a great time.
i was rolling like a bakery and all i wanted was more. even though 3 has always been my limit...but i was just like "fuck it". i sent irfan on another run. and i never saw him again for the rest of the night....i got really worried. he just was gone.....i didn't know what happend...turns out he bumped into sum guard and the dude threw attitude at him so irfan threw some back and then irfan was thrown out. i'm glad thats all it was.
so me and nina just rocked it for about 3 hours before they turned on the damn lights at
6:30 am.
i just kinda walked outside and said....hmmmm....what to do now.
nina took care of me again and we were off.....i had no idea where we were going and i didn't care...so we pulled into this coffee house....and we went up on the second floor and damn they were getting high....even the waiters were coming up and gettin some while they were working. but i was getting wierd vibes from all the jokers there.....they just didn't know me.
my bean hook up was there too and she wouldn't quit staring at me. just wierd stuff. i think i'm kinda a novelty. american and all.
we left bout 8 and i found a cab. i got back to my room and passed the fuck out and when i woke up this morning i cleaned out my pockets and i realized that the coffee house stole money from me when i bought some drinks and someone slipped 2 dime bags into my pocket...that really freaked the fuck out my ass. "hey nato gate guard can i get back in and please don't check my pockets that's where i keep my weed." damn. i really got scared and i didn't know what to do with it.
i thought about it and i think nina hooked me up....that's the only excuse i could come up with.
but damn i wish she had told me....that whole situation could have been really bad. really really bad. but she was just tryin to be nice and surprise me. gee thanks.
