Alternative Ibiza?

This 'city' (I am guessing a town of about 25,000) is full of bollocks.

It is quite honestly full of lies, bollocks and twats without substance.

Tripping themselves up. Other than the few pockets of heavenly bliss I don't understand what all the fuss is about. It is a shit hole. The water here dries your skin. Did I mention that? The entire island was without electricity for a day last week. I have just spent an entire day waiting for a non-showing client who called me at 11AM to be sure work was finished to collect at 5PM. I have wasted a whole fucking day hanging around in the cold for some slack Spanish fucker.

I don't like it here. Has anyone guessed that much yet?
Sounds like you've found Spanish hipsters. My condolences :(

Aging hipsters possibly. Too many people here with too many big ideas, and not enough cash, or dedication to actually do anything.

If I wasn't actually working the place trying to make money myself, I am sure it would be a very different experience. I am going to try and talk a couple of regular patrons/clients into paying me to return and paint in the countryside. That is work I would enjoy much :) Only Ibiza town itself I am not enjoying.
 
As my German mate would say ,FUCK THEM HATE THEM....not sure what it means?? but it sounds fitting of Ibiza bro.
Keep the faith.:)

I am liking Ibiza town and the Germans today. Good weather. A cover band playing in the plaza - SFA, Kaiser Chief type tunes - very good they are also. And I have just picked up a very nice job for a new beach club from a German guy with cash and attitude to realise his big ideas. Looks like it is a club to cater for those who have grown out of the Ibiza club scene. Proper posh and proper cool.

Things can change very quickly.

Worth replying to this again.

The very subtle cultural differences here get lost in common language. It is one of the reasons why I find it complicated. A melting pot of Western Europe in a hot little space. More noticeable amongst those a little older than myself, but still sometimes crops up with younger people. It is still undeniably Spain, Valencian (doing Catalan), and Ibizan, but homogonised more than any other place I know in Europe simply because there are far more incomers on a percentage level.

Humour doesn't always cross these sort of boundaries. No matter which common language you share, no matter how literally correct, subtleties get lost.

It is a very complicated little island for many reasons. Probably always was.

Nice one, go forth and make a name for yourself. (A good name, I mean.)
 
Not a great photo. This was Placa des Parc today...

And, I have no idea who these mugs are, but I have been sharing drinks, laughs and arguments with them for over a month now. It is the Ibiza trap!

Well. I could have gone chemical tonight. Invitations. Pacha. Amnesia was the most popular option, but I have paid for my bed. Alone, or not - I am going to enjoy it.

Send my wishes to brother Joe...
ALL THE BEST STAN ...Hope to see soon????
Keep the faith.:cool:
 
Beautiful, sunny New Years day. We went to Burger King on invitation from Paul (left). Interesting man. *Medal of honour recipient for time served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Funny guy also. He will never be 'normal' again mind.

*Apparently. I am just reporting.

This evening I chilled in Placa des Parc and got stoned with a friend. We were joined by a very beautiful young woman who just poured her heart out to me. She is lovely, but I was stoned, so I just smiled and nodded whilst listening. Threw in a few pseudo words of wisdom for good measure. Possibly 40 minutes of verbal adrenalin falling from her very beautiful lips and heart. New Years day come downs! Seems she is worried she has fallen for a gay guy. A crazy, alcoholic gay guy at that!

She should call her mum for advice really. I wasn't up for bursting her bubble, but I can smile, and listen whilst nodding and throwing odd words of wisdom.

CALL YOUR MUM GIRL - CALL HER NOW!
 
what do you think,I've reinvented my self???I'm sure it' s the fucking weather???
Anyways don't give me that fucking story shit,you love having shoulder cried on bro.you lap it up.

Mister come and look at my puppy dog Stan;)
Keep the faith bro.
 
This is Ibiza - drug addled little complicated shit town that it is.

The news today is not good. This is a very small community out of season. Someone was murdered by a drug crazed twat. My problem here is that all of the drug users are sympathising with the guy who looks to be sent to spend most of his life in prison. What about the victim? 24 years. What about his family?

This is the ugly side to a very drug tolerant society.

The news was 'as it happened' a couple of days ago actually. I think they have caught him now. Nowhere to run to. Seriously, this is the downside.
 
you often do.

This is shit Pickman's, I want out. Ibiza is not for me.

There is a woman who actually instigated this. She is going to get away with it, but in my mind she was the manipulator, instigator and murderer. It is drugs. It is complicated fucked up people, but, to my way of thinking, she initiated and should be accountable.
