Dopeness

Hello loyal readers, (Who am I lying to, my only loyal readers are Mom, Ebby, and Carla)  I realize it's been awhile and for that I apologize. In our last journey through the rabbit hole together I was venturing out for my first taste of nightlife with my Aigles teammates. I'm not going to go into much detail about the entire night but it was a very fun time. My first time in a Freanch nightclub is definitely an experience I'll remember for a very long time. We went to CO2 in Chambery and I figured since I've been listening to the radio I knew what was in store music wise, but I definitely was not prepared. The night started off pretty typical, house music, some R&B, top 40 kind of mix going on. Eventually the DJ moved on and started playing some Spanish music and then moved into some African music. To the African songs nearly everyone in room broke out into this step that to me resembled the electric slide with a spin move thrown in. That was cool but at around 3 AM the music completely threw me for a loop. The fast up-tempo beats stopped and for about 30- 40 minutes he played some slow music. I don't mean slow R&B or anything comparable to that, he literally played music you slow dance to and EVERYONE was slow dancing in the club. I mean a proper slow dance, grab your partner around the waist and she grabs your shoulders.   I thought that was the weirdest thing ever, never in all my years have I ever seen true slow dancing in a club. Then what made it so weird to me was I thought the club was about to close because why else would the DJ be playing slow music? Nope, completely wrong after the slow songs he kicked the tempo right back up and we didn't end up leaving the club for a couple of hours.

After that adventure I haven't been up to much. The real reason I haven't written much is because I didn't want to write about how much time I spent playing video games, eating and sleeping. However, the adventures have started again. Last night Kevin, Killian, and I went to the Lyon- Real Madrid Champions League game. Going to a football/soccer while I was here in Europe was right at the top of my lists of things to do and my God it did not disappoint at all. I've been to pretty much every type of sporting event back in the US and seriously nothing compares to the atmosphere of a football/soccer match. The entire game we were standing, singing songs in french(yes even me), waving our flags, yelling at the players, etc. It was honestly the best atmosphere I've been in. I'm going to upload the pics and vids to my tumblr (mmalachi.tumblr.com) because honestly my description won't do any justice. That's all I have in store for this episode kiddies. This weekend I'm going to Venice for Carnaval and I'm staying in a Hostel (GASP). So if this is my last update then Eli Roth was right and Hostel's in Europe are really just set ups for Americans to be tortured, but if not then all of my friends are idiots. Yeah, all of my friends a couple years back said they don't want to backpack across Europe staying in Hostels  because we could end up in the same situation as the people in the movies. The things my family and friends think about Europe are amazing right?
