Time flys when you're having fun

Hello there, again!

FIrst, I'll fill out the blanks concerning last week.
The course wasn't much fun, but it didn't bring me down as I expected it to do at the start of the week. I assume that the fact that I went out to Mike's Place during the helped out alot.
As I mentioned before, by the middle of the week I had planned out my weekend quite specifically, and most amazingly, it actually went according to that plan!
Thursday I hosted my buddy, Yoni, in my appartment, as we went out to see an evening dedicated to John Lennon. The evening featured video clips of The Beatles, the film "The first U.S. visit", a taping of the concert at Budokan, a taping of John and Yoko's last benefit concet, and the film about the making of "Imagine". The evening was arranged by DJ Moshel, who is arraging an evening featuring Led Zeppelin at December 22nd. Considering the fact that it's going to have free alcohol, you can definitely say I'll be there!
On Friday, not long after Yoni left, Jenie (female friend from Karmiel) arrived as scheduled.
We went out at night to the "HaMaymad HaHamishi" (The 5th Dimension) club at Tel Aviv. She had a good time, but I considered the night mediocre.
On Saturday evening, Jenie left and I went out to see my first "Parva Hama" concert.
"Parva Hama" (Hot Fur) is a cool Israeli progressive rock band, which Frankie introduced me to via MP3's. The MP3's were of their first album. By the time I was informed of their concert, their female vocalist (which I loved to hear) had quit the band, and the band included some new members: a trumpet player, a saxaphone player and a violinist. So I got to see a show much different than what I expected to see, but it was extremly good and fun!

And so I move on to this week.
This week, the course was rather slow and had alot of free time, time which I spent at the office.
Monday I went again to Mike's Place with Asi (the "kid"), and there we met Frankie (of course), Adi, Rotem and also Sigal (which is from Karmiel and was introduced to me by Jenie).
I had a great time, though the crowd wasn't very lively...
I signed my second time for the Brew Crew extravaganza (sign three Monday nights, and get a free T-shirt which grants you a free shot of alcohol each Monday you wear it). Can't wait for next week! Hehehe...
Today I will also go to Mike's Place, just because it's such a fun place and I get to see Frankie perform.
Tommorow I'll go back to Karmiel for the weekend. I really miss Gad (which is my closest friend), since I haven't seen him for 3 whole weeks. We just have to go out and drink something good together!

In conclusion of this post, time flys by much faster when you're having fun, and you have alot more fun when you go out alot (be it through planning ahead, or just spotaneously) during the week, as well as the weekend. I've also noticed that when I'm busy planning how I will have fun, I don't even have time to get bummed out! It's great! There are just no disadvantages...
Of course I wish the same (and more) fun for you, too!
Bye!

Quickly-weekly update

Hey there again!

Just wanted to pop by and ease your worried minds: The week's not going that bad after all!
The course is a bit boring, considering I already know most of this week material.
But other than that, I'm actually having fun!

Last night I took the new "kid" from the office out to Mike's Place, since he had never been there. When we got to Tel Aviv, he discovered that he left his wallet at home (and his driver's license and money in it, of course). We walked over to Mike's Place, and there we met Frankie, Yoni and another dude Frankie forgot to introduce. The waitress takes our order, and then the "kid" finds out he now forgot his cell phone at the car! LOL!
Anyways, a great mid-week night. Before I rented the appartment, I stayed at a hostel in Tel Aviv and it was right near all the hot spots and I would go out sometimes during the week (especially at Mondays when Frankie was playing, or Tuesdays when I could play).
But when I moved to Ramat Gan, I only got to Tel Aviv at the weekends, and so I missed alot of Frankie's performances. I hope that in the coming months I will resume my mid-week night-time activities. They're so much fun!

And in conclusion, I'm expecting to have a wonderfull fun-packed weekend, since I've had far more suggestions than I can attend...
Wishing the same for you all,
Ronnie.

I hate Sundays!

Hey there,
Today I'm in some kind of a bad mood.
"Why", you ask?
Because it's another one of those god damned Sundays.
No. Actually, it's the worst Sunday I've had for some time now.

I spent a nice weekend at Karmiel.
Yesterday, I slept only two hours and then got up at 5 AM.
40 minutes to get ready to leave, another half hour being driven to the Akko train station.
Then, the horrible two hour train ride. The weather outside was chilli, but that didn't stop the train people from freezing my ass off with the air conditioning. The entire ride was a blurry attempt to fall asleep, in order to not deal with the cold.
I got to the base in time for my 9 o'clock lesson. Then the lecturer starts off by stating that we are starting a week "that is, according to past experience, going to be annoying and frustrating".
Let me tell you, I just couldn't wait for this prophecy to fulfill itself...

OK, now that I've got that out of the way, I'd like to talk a little about my weekend.
It started on Thursday evening, when I arrived at Karmiel. I was just walking inside my home, when I realised that I wouldn't be able to go to the party I was planning to go to for the previous three days. But just as fast, my friends suggest I come with them to a dance bar.
Half a Guinness, chaser of Absinthe, a couple of silly dances and some delicious thai noodles pretty much sum up that lovely outing.
Friday noon - A lousy try at shopping and then... Hummus! Yummmmmmm...
Friday night I decide to take the car (it's a kind of a van, the largest car in our group) and take the friends out to a party. When we discover we have been misinformed (there was no party), we go to the nearest small club and salvage (just barely) the night.
Saturday noon - Hummus! Yummy yumm...
Saturday night we go out to the "Franklin's", the Karmieli pub. Wrap up the weekend at 3 AM.

Now, the last thing I wanted to say is that this weekend something special happened:
I told a couple of my friends one of my best kept secrets. This perticular secret was serval years old. I never told it to anyone, until now. I was planning on forgeting it altogether, but now these friends claim I must purge myself of it, and tell it to one of the people it concerns.
I really don't think this secret is eating me up inside or anything like that, but I think I will tell it to that person and just put it behind me.
I perdict some interesting results. I'll keep you updated if my prediction will be fulfilled...

Well, I'll just go crash on my bed now... I'm still tired from the bloody train... Goodnight!
