my silence I leave to pick up the glove Isabel (thanks, flat) and put me in this business of Meme Sparks.
My first trip imagine that those endless trips to my Cai (Cadiz) small, when the trip lasted 9 hours. Seat 124, my father Despeñaperros crowded and port 50 because always played a truck ahead. The highways did not exist. At school had recently that that Benjamin Franklin invented the lightning rod. It seemed the best invention in the history of humanity and to celebrate I decided to go telling all he saw lightning in the car. Out loud, of course. My voice choking with Jorge Sepúlveda's music was in the car and contributing to widespread sickness in my family. I do not know why my father when I arrived at No. 750 lightning somewhere between Córdoba Lora del Rio and I left in a gas station.
remember with particular fondness my first I flew with 7 years. Madrid - Palma de Mallorca. My parents sent me to my brother William who was then living there to spend the entire summer. I was alone. A flight attendant took care of me all the way and gave me and took me jobfish little hand up to where I met Willy. From the plane saw the Balearic Islands as shown on the maps, which eventually realized it was not possible because I flew, not the space shuttle.
My first trip alone to Lisbon Santa Week of 84. I was 16 and I had to sign a consent form my parents. I was alone, I have not travel alone since then more than for work. I took a beer at the top of Santa Justa elevator, fascinated me da Penha Palace in Sintra and in the Galleries Amoreira I bought my first two vinyl: True Blue by Madonna and Born in the USA by Springsteen. I have around a picture of that trip that I made a Angolan Praca do Comercio.
My first applause.
Nobody will remember, me neither, but before Henry and Anne or Parcheesi child had a group called Gang. A loved me. I think these guys should be the recipients of my first applause.
I have also received, although far fewer.
My first job
envy the payment received by Elizabeth at their first job. I went to Moratalaz to spread propaganda by the mailbox with a couple of friends and gave us each a 500 pelas.
The first serious, in the library with 15 years. I could do the first six months contract because he had no working age. I got FP notes on June 19 and started currar the 20th. My friends went to play football and I Caught 12 on Sancho Davila to go to the Plaza of Christ the King. Even Maria de Molina did not stop mourn with rage. My salary was 23,000 peel to help family's battered economy. Keeping the accounts with "decalco" there was no computers, and billed with punch cards. My word processor called "magic wand" and get out a word in bold or italics, you had to write before about programming commands. Since then I have not stopped working. Unemployed in Spain, part of your benefits are coming out of my withholding the last 24 years!
My first friend
Jose Antonio, from toddlers .... Last summer I went to Chicago to spend a few days with him. Keep in touch, send us mail, we welcome on birthdays. 35 years of friendship.
I can not fail to mention Roberto. Although it came a couple of years later I do not know anyone so close to me.
My first song
Oysters, this is Trivial. I have no idea. I would say that the Same Old Story Roxy Music, The Load Out Jackson Browne or even Mediterranean Serrat, but I fear that had to be something like "the train is leaving now, chim chim chim chim pum pum pum pum making noise ...." Henry and Anna O "the brothers really are bad Malasombra "Los Chiripitifláuticos.
My first colony
Purchased by me, Herbissimo cedar. I've never been faithful to the colonies, but to be honest for a while now if I keep invariably loyal to Jean Paul (or Belmondo and Sartre, but Gautier). I was faithful for a while, years ago, to Insensé of Givenchy. I like women who wear Ysatis or that put White Musk from The Body Shop. I rediscovered white musk in Morocco this Easter.
