Is Too Much Fun Too Much?

Wow, it’s been a while yet again and a lot has happened. I posted two blogs at once here so there is a lot below to catch up on...

We are in peak season now and my job has transformed. We charge cover now, 7 euros and everything has changed. I still bring girls in for drinks but after the first few hours the TRUE madness begins. I can’t move, let alone walk around. When I am not drunk, the job is too crazy to handle. Hence, I cannot seem to go a single night without getting drunk just to get through it all. I’ve been sick with various illnesses that I fight off with 4-5 kiwis and a few cloves of garlic a day. My diet was good, but both that and my rigorous workout routine have finally gone kaput. To top it all off I got a temporary roommate who has been staying with me in our tiny room for the past few weeks. He’s the Swedish guy Johan, whom I mentioned in a prior post. He’s easy to live with and we get into a lot of fun/trouble so it’s been worth losing my routine.

I don’t know how much longer I can handle this lifestyle. I’ve seen so many come and go that I feel like I’m in a race and I'll probably be first to place in the running. But is that a good thing? Our entire staff at Disco 69 has changed and probably will again over the next few weeks. All of my English speaking neighbors where I live have changed once and are about to again. Soon, all of my friends will be gone and all I’ll be left with are my Albanian neighbors and the ginormous swarm of aggressive Italians who pack the tiny street outside my club. Even Johan leaves in a few days, but hopefully then I can get back to my routine. I’ve even got some antibiotics that I can start taking, but I’m waiting ‘til he leaves because I can’t drink whilst on ‘em- God it’s gonna suck (but 5 days no drinking would also be heavenly)!

Amidst all this stupor, I am still managing to save money, so that is good. The 15^th of August is supposed to be the end of peak season, where all begins to wind down. So if I can just make it there and get healthy again all should be well. Wish me luck….
