The Pink Palace/ Bad for the body, good for the soul

So right now I'm in Corfu, a large... kinda large island off the west coast of Greece. It's great, at least I think so, not that I've been here long at all, but It beats the past few days. Allow me to elaborate.

For the past I dont know.... um since I think sat night I have been on a train, or a bus, or a boat. I was five hours early for my train in Wien, Austria. But then some hippie took me to there house and we had a grand time and when i got back to the station i was still a half hour early. Unfortunately, the luggage locker i put my bag in decided not to give me my luggage back and i missed my train. I hopped onto another at random and It just so happened to catch up to my other (original) train in Buddapest! What luck!

I was cramped up in a little car with these two train worker for i think 23 hours, but one was the Train Master for all of Bulgaria and he showed me how to cut 16 hours off my train ride, then i played drums with the train conductor... long story. Anyway, after already being early I caught a Bus that was 12 hours earlier then I normally would have been on. The ride was horrible from Athens to who knows where. Rio is playing at the bar im typing at, it reminds me of John.

I wrote a song in my journal about the horrible bus ride.

Here it is

"I'm on A Bus. By Clint Hanaway"
I'm on a bus
I'm on a bus
I'm lost somewhere in Greece but at least I'm on a bus

I'm on a bus and
I'm really lost and
I have no fuckin idea where I'm goin
I'm somewhere in Greece, Driftin round like swine flu
Only hope I find a way to Corfu

Stop The Bus!
Those Goats Are REAL!

Cramped up on a bus Mothafucka!
Smells like shit, this really sux Mothafucka!
6 hours through the dessert Mothafucka!
Piece of Shit, not supprised if it explodes...

Never Planned to be on this bus
though the ferry was always a must
Bus Driver! Let. Me. Pee.
Never thought I'd Smell Decay
of the animals that got in our way
believe me when I say,
we hit a sheepdog.

Ok so I may have ripped off 'I'm on a boat' but give me a break.

I'm just happy to be somewhere, anywhere. Its not where you are, its if anyone can understand your language haha! For your amusement here is the least gross video of something that I have, you dont wanna see the others, but one day you will :)




All I can say is that its brains were delicious. Also, Greece sux. They are nasty to people from Massidonia just because they now call north Greece Massidonia... Which its not. Alex the great was from Massidonia and the Greece dont wanna give him up, though he didnt even speek greek, he spoke Massidonian.

Anyway I'm not dead, Oh and I forgot! I was in Bratislava and on a tram to the Train when some guy in shitty clothes came up and asked for my ticket. I told him the machine was broken but I have some money for the tram. He said to give him 40euro! the tram is 50 cents! I told him no and tried to leave, I wasnt gonna give my money to someone with no proper ID. His didnt have a pic on it and looked fake, plus i cant read it. Just then, some big mothafucka comes out of what seemed to be nowhere and pushes me back in my seat. Then I got hit a lot, then they said i was going to jail, then the cops came and took me into custody, then when the original guys left I gave the cop driving the car 84 euro to just drive me back to the train and let me go. Then he tried to steal my passport! I had to bust out my Military ID and act like I was some kind of athority. I dont remember what i said, but i do remember getting out my cell phone and pretending to call something, either way he got nervous, gave it back and left.

Goddamnit.

oh well, just so much life out there you know?

in bulgaria people shake their head yes and nod no. Only place in the world.


Lots of Love,
Clint
