Chantal - A Beautiful Soul - Nomad Coffee

Spain - Day 10 - Volver (11/06/18)

November 17, 2018

Volver Pt. 1

Si no es hoy sera mañana

Atras los dias malos

Adelante con sonrisas

Encontre momentos hermosos

Pero los tengo que dejar

Revelaciones con personas que nunca me olvidare

Me comunicastes tu dolor

Me hablaste de tus pensamientos

Pienso volver

Chantal me dice que todos regresan a Barcelona

Me dice que no deje de seguir mis sueños

Volvere

“Darling can you see the clouds?”

Casa Batllo I found this Gaudi home to be boring. The blue ceramic tile was cool and the little spinning ball at the top of the house was great. The roof had a great view.

I met Klizia an Italian student living in Sevilla. I meant to take her to Montjuic, but she wanted to go to La Boqueria.

I dropped my Gaudi cup while walking with her.

We walked down La Rambla.

It was fun going up and down those aisles filled with food.

Volver Pt. 2

Se me acaba el mundo

Deje mi alma en un mundo extraño

Vuelo sobre aire

Leyendo sobre una leyenda olvidada

Encontré que nadie mas me quiere oír

Sin mis palabras soy nada

Pero sus sonrisas aun an alumbrado mi sombra

Se me acaban las lagrimas durante la noche

Logrando metas que nunca acaban

Estoy solo pero a vuelto a morir

Volvere

The prettiest girl in all of Barcelona - Nomad Coffee

Don’t look down talk to me.

Volver Pt. 3
Naci para este momento

Una pesadilla regresar a mi vida

Sin duda eh visto el otro lado

Ahora que llegue dejo mis ojos cerrados

Mis labios cosidos

El techo lo veo con una alma clara

Si regreso un dia

Mi coffre cerrado

Abajo la alma

Que me dejen mis ojos y manos

Para que le escriba al mundo sobre mi ultimo viaje

Volvere en este mundo o el otro

Bittersweet

Is what he said

Its bitter in my mouth

Above clouds and mountains

Where most kings and queens have never been

Its bitter in my mouth

Sweet are the memories I’ve made

Where I go things will never be the same

Sweet are the walks that I take

Swaying towards hope

Sweet promises coiled by my side

I made a broken hearted heave at your eyes

Tried once tried twice

Its bittersweet

Sweet as this life

Bitter as the day that I die

Its bittersweet that I have to leave your side

Spain - Day 9 - Pesadilla (11/05/18)

November 17, 2018

All the digitals I took.

I had to save my last roll of film for my last day.

I met up with Chantal this day

I attended a screening of Beetlejuice and I had the whole theatre to myself. The first time in my life.

Old Soul

I know you’ve been here before

I can see it in your soul

Know that you did see your dad

He was with you when you were sad

On that day

You felt safe for the first time

Within this long life you despise

Get away from every feeling you have

Pulsing sunshines

I can see your old soul so bright

I know you’re never gonna die

I can tell you’ve been here before

You have a beautiful soul

When you speak we listen

Spain - Day 8 - Breadland (11/04/18)

November 17, 2018

In Breadland nothing matters! This is the AirBNB I am staying at. It is cozy and Gemma/Rafa are great hosts.

Sweet Honey

You’re bad for me

I’ve had so much of you

When one loves they won’t have truth

Sweet dew

Paid often

What do I keep for reference?

I’m in a rut depressive

Obsessed to the sweet honey

I write as time leaves me

Unaware of my sanity

All I want is sweet honey

I’ll make it back

If only to try you again

This foreign feel it expands without love.

In Barcelona first Sunday of the month is basically free museum day! This excludes all the Gaudi shit.

Arc of Malfunction

I write it all out

Every single thing

Every feeling

Every smile

Every time I cry

I write it all out

The only thing I know how to do

My Malfunction

I will never get better

The Arc of my Malfunction

I will never get better

I will die lonely

Write for the long of my life

Then I’ll stab my veins with a pen

Write an opus or two

Spain - Day 7 - Cigarette City (11/03/18)

November 17, 2018

I went for a run and my lungs hurt after a bit. Cigarette city in full swing. I am trying to remember what I did this day.

This was a must see Stanley Kubrick exhibition it was fucking nuts.

I went looking for Nomad Coffee, but I found this other Cafe and ate a sweet potato burger. I will never find Mayonnaise so appetizing again in my life.

The Dark History tour was amazing thanks to this charming man. I saw him woo a girl through the whole tour like a pimp.

Spain - Day 6 - Up Too Early (11/02/18)

November 17, 2018

Anxiety kept me up. I found the only coffee shop open at 6:00 A.M. in Barcelona I think.

Getting lost in Girona was a highlight of the trip.

I want to come back here for at least a month.

I got a call from my little sister in the morning telling me she loves me and misses me. She is my favorite person in this world. I found this little ledge I thought about staying there for the rest of my life.

Persistence of Memory

One day I will start again

Far away from my first love

On the day I go away

Far away from what I call home

Know that I planned to die here

Not today

Hopefully that’s 50 years away

August 2063 I say

I’ve been up and down this life before

I’d trade it all for a breathe one day

I’m going to return with understanding and meaning

I wish I could share this moment with you

Far away from where we first thought

I’ll grow old here, but my memories I never forget

I had another long and beautiful day.

Spain - Day 5 - I Am Going To The Cemetery (11/01/18)

November 16, 2018

I Can See You

You’re up in the Blue

It may take 100 or it may take a few

I’ll be next to you

Up in the blue

I could see you

When I get another chance at it

I’ll take it

I probably should stop traveling alone

Had not had a moment to feel this blue

It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this true

At a cemetery

On a mountaintop far removed from ache

Watch me watch it go up in flames

Now that I see you

I won’t ever look away

Bava

Stupid, Bava!

I have never met a group of strangers more beautiful

Stupid, Bava!

He’s so stupid

I appreciate the kindness

Agh, Bava!

Thank you for showing me around your new city

He is dumb, but we love him

I met them in line for Bocadillos at Bo de B I recommend them. They invited me to eat with them and they showed me around the boardwalk.

I walked a lot this day from one side of town to the other almost.

I ended up in this college neighborhood, but I only have blurry photographs of my time there.

Spain - Day 4 - Rainy Day (Halloween)

November 16, 2018

Biocici with the homie! A bike inspired coffee shop that became my go to coffee shop. The owner moved from Italy and he makes amazing pizza.

“What are you going to do with it?”

“You want to go see the Agbar Tower? It lights up”

Phallus

On rain filled days

In new shoes that don’t work well in rain

Step after step

The phallus calls

Ring, ring

Hurry are you on your way?

Step after step

Raise the umbrella

Jump over the puddle

Hurry down the street

Wait for the light

“I am been excited to see it”

I smile, aight

“It lights up”

We hurry down the street

Street after street

I should not be out here

Not at this moment

I woke up with a runny nose

I didn’t bring a sweater

But I am going to the Phallus

Hurry up the hill

Round the corner

Make it to the end

There it is

It failed to light up

It failed to come up

It failed to make a stand

What a dumb ass Phallus

I am worse off for coming to see you

Halloween party! Great people horrible music.

They care for Halloween here.

Spain - Day 3 - Chocolate Croissant (10/30/18)

November 16, 2018

“You have nothing to worry about film can go in there.”

I proceed to shove my camera through a scanning machine.

How to get this Washed look:

Canon 400TX loaded into your camera and pass it through the scanning machine at La Sagrada Familia.

Voila!

Opus

How did you put it together?

Did it come easy?

Did ideas ever come apart

When you set pen to it

Outlining the very ache

Days mulling over your opus

Perfect picture so often missed

We hope for it

Ugh, Hope is often for the lost

I hope for our sake that it works for you

You get to see what you’ve created

It aches you

Your crypt below

All here to watch you

Your opus it speaks

We all lift our heads to hear it

With our cellular phones held up above

Maybe we can see it clearer with our phones in between

Just how you would have liked it

Best part of this morning was the chocolate croissant I ate. It had the side crusted in chocolate and inside there was a bar of dark chocolate going through it.
