Pimp My...old delapitated vespa?

Well, I’ve just finished taking an exam in Marketing, Art History, and Italian, along with working on a marketing project, or at least the part that is due Thursday. I now have time available to inform anyone still left reading this what’s goin on.
Christine Folley came and visited here from Wednesday until early Sunday morning…so for all practical purposes Wednesday to Saturday. It was pretty cool to actually prove to my roommate that I do indeed know other people and am privileged enough to call them friends. She saw sights while I was in class and I also took her around the Vatican Museums, trying to regurgitate as much jumbled, random information as I could remember from my visit there the previous week. It wasn’t much, but it was almost enough to feel somewhat cool. I had a good time and was thankful for the visitor to help me not think about the exams I had to take today…which I then regretted not studying for before Sunday (don’t worry parents, I did fine).
If anyone else wants to come visit…too bad, I plan on not having time for you unless you come between Monday-Thursday because hopefully I will be traveling places…hopefully. But yea, sorry…unless you’re somehow related to me, then I can make an exception…and if you’re really hot and can’t wait to date me, then you can come too.
On a lighter note, things here are pretty much the same, though I’m started to get a little upset at how ‘real’ this school is. I didn’t sign up to study, I signed up for a four month vacation in Europe (don’t tell my parents that). Oh well, I suppose I have to learn this stuff eventually eh? No worries, it’s still ok here, I suppose. Just joshin, it’s pretty freakin sweet, though I don’t think I’d ever want to permanently go to school here…too small. Also, apparently my family is going to win the lottery on the Tuesday night drawing (tonight) according to my mother…so, when I get back home, I’ll be rich, just an FYI. So, that’ll be nice.
As usual, I’m still single…incase anyone had the freaky idea I wasn’t. It’s very upsetting that there are so many cool, hot gurls here (about a 75/25 ratio) and they all freakin have boyfriends back home. Ugh, it disgusts me. All I can do is take in the eye candy, like the creepy guy w/the shades on in the corner. So anyone in Hollywood reading this, I’ve got the creepy-guy-in-the-corner roll down solid. Oh well, I suppose I’ll just have to wait until I get back to the “fine” selection of Belmont gurls (non-existent) .
Oh, funny side note I just remembered. Sorry, this entry is definitely super random ‘cause I can’t think of anything else to write. Anyhoo, Europeans seem to fancy American television shows, either by dubbing them, leaving them in English, or (the best one) coming up with their own version of a show. The best and most awesome example of all for this is called “Pimp My Wheels.” Yes, it’s pretty much what you think, a blatant copy of MTV’s “Pimp My Ride”…and if you thought that, you’d be right. It’s a show on MTV Italia that has a 5 person boy band hosting the show instead of X-Zibit. But that’s not the best part. Because Italy is so small, everyone rides around in freaking Smart Cars and Mopeds…so those are the kind of ‘wheels’ these heterosexually questionable gentlemen ever so kindly ‘pimp.’ It’s pretty hilarious, the guys will walk up to crappy little moped, make fun of it, have it taken to some West Coast Customs imitator, and then when it’s done, it’ll have gold rims and flame graphics and all this stupid ass stuff on it which just makes it look ridiculous. Apparently they have an American Idol knock off too, but I haven’t had the fortune of seeing such a spectacle seeing as we don’t have a TV and I have to mooch that kind of thing off other people.
Ok, I’ve babbled about nothing for long enough, back to your lives. I’ll talk to you soonly, hopefully with something to actually say next time.
Ciao,
Jon Boy
