Here goes nothing

Ok...so after many requests and years of people asking me to write a book, I've decided to cave and give you a blog. I cannot make any promises of what may or may not end up on here, but I will try. I have time during my commute to fill and I guess this should be easier for me then sending several different emails. Of course I can't imagine the stories will be as good as they used to be since I am much older, wiser and less naive ;) So you will likely get to hear me bitch about the nonsense contained here in Europe, that I will never understand such as.... Men peeing everywhere!!!!
I have this really lovely park across from my flat, where a 20K was held this weekend, thousands of people everywhere. I am over there running and before I make it 100 meters I see a man standing in the grass facing me peeing! Not out the bottom of his shorts, NO, that would just be too modest, he's just pulled them down....I just shuddered. The next thing I know everywhere I turn I see men peeing, some next to trees, but they are always facing someone. Honestly, I was just waiting to see one of them taking a shit on a bush.
Speaking of shit, I just missed my train stop.....maybe typing on the commute will not work afterall because I don't pay attention. Ok, hopefully the next stop is close or I will have a long way back to work :(
So its not just me with the peeing, the girl next to me at work is from Mexico and she caught her neighbor peeing in her garage the other day. She confronted him saying "Does this look like a public toilet to you?" and he got super nasty with her and acted all offended that she thought it was a problem. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, one of the most famous statues here is of a little peeing boy.
Ok I have come to the next stop, I am lucky google maps says only 20 minutes to the office!!!
