"GET ON THE TRAIN!" Chapter 15.
I'm not moving to Amsterdam….my new friend there changed his mind.
While I do get an amazing amount of stuff done, I must make a note to self:
I tend to burn people out sometimes with my overt enthusiasm and self-will/plan-a-minute
mentality.

Oh yeah….
I met a really cool really cute girl in Paris that liked me, and I was very interested in her until she smoked a bunch of pot and then said, "Dreaming is better than doing". That REALLY turned me off. I’m supposed to go hang with her tonight, but I think I’ll go hang with John instead.

French people stink. It’s a cliché, but hey…..I’m on a train to Dunkerque from Paris, and again, I have to forgo my assigned seat because the dude next to it is fucking rank. And ya know, I’m a little smelly…so if I think some stinks, they are a LOT smelly. And it’s odd, we’re not talking homeless hippies or trustafarian (trust-fund baby) anarcho punx, we’re talking people who look like they work in offices and probably do.
Moving to yet another car entirely on the train…a screeching baby drove me to move.
European train stations are the most crowded polyglot forks in the world’s roads imaginable.
My limo!
Part Blade Runner, part Soilent Green. (With a few pirates, muggers and whores thrown in for kicks.) And the whole world’s gonna look like this if people don’t follow my lead and get fixed after their first kid. Problem is, only smart people opt to get fixed. Don’t get me started on Eugenics……Let’s save that for Germany.
I can’t wait to get to Germany. I am already fed up with the "Everything’s broken and no one speaks English" charm of France in general and Paris in specific (Paris is the number-one tourist destination in the world. There’s lots of people who speak English here, but they’re all walking around trying to find someone to read their map for them, just like me.)
