I changed my blog webpage to the following, and I updated it with all the archives from previous SPAMs that I sent out over the last 5 years. It can be seen at http://boozingbuddy.blogspot.com/. I will update it with pictures at some point in the near future.

I have now been in Florianopolis for just over a month.

Was walking home at about 4am from a club a few days ago along a dark side road, and a black car with tinted windows pulled up beside me with no passengers in it. The driver rolls down the passenger window and starts talking to me in portuguese and asking me if I know about the party that is "somewhere around here". I told him that I had no idea, and that I was just walking home. He then asks me if I want to come with him to find the party ... I respond that I am just going home .. .he then asks me what I am looking for, and I respond that I am just going home. .. he then asks me if I want a ride, and I respond that I am find to walk. .

About 10 minutes later, the same car comes ripping around a corner and pulls up beside me, the guy starts speaking in english this time "hey man, I just want to suck your dick!" .. I said no thanks, I am just going home ..." come on man, I just want to suck your dick" ... I responded again that I was just going home ... "Hey man, what do you want, do you want something more, I can do more" .. I responded no thanks, I am going home. Finally he left.

I went out kite-buggying a few days ago in the sand dunes right near where I live. It was totally amazing, and I will post pictures very soon. Basically, you are in a three wheeled buggy with a really low-down seat (just inches above the ground). The wheel base on the back wheels is about 2 or 3 meters, so it is extremely stable. You fly with a 6 meter kite that is attached to your body with the same harnes that is used for ktie surfing. The kite buggy rips around the sand dunes, climbing up hills etc.. apparently you can get it going up to 100km per hour in good conditions. I didn't go nearly that fast because I was just learning, and didnt want to kill myself.

I dont remember if I mentioned it, but I moved houses. Those stupid yappy poodles were pissing me off, and I didnt like living below the people who owned the house. I have a way better place with tons of space, for almos the same price. I have a scottish guy living with me for the next few days who is travelling around south-america for 6 months just kite-surfing and hanging out. I have also been building up a pretty nice network of friends here. Seems like I am meeting a lot of milionaires along wtih some surf-bums .. but everyone mixes together.
