Where are we...? - Part III

This one's the last one! Tonight I finish this dreadful list.
And don't get me wrong, I love each and everyone here; it's just that writing this has been excruciatingly painful, you know? Thinking about all that happened before this point in my life, all that I have lost. And hey, the older you get the more stuff you have to give up, that's life. I'm not asking to do over everything I did ten years ago, what hurts is to know that everyone's so far apart, damn!

Technology helps, but like I said before, I wont be able to see my friend's kids grow! I won't get to be anyone's cool uncle! It's unlikely that I'll say shit like "When I was your age me and your father bull fought fucking cars!"

Anyway... On with it.

17- Luz Bacaicoa - Lucci
I met this chick when I was... What? 15? I remember fighting with her a lot a first but then she became such a great friend. She used to call me when I was in Caracas, I don't know if she just called to check on me or if she did it to cheer me up; but that gesture meant the world to me. It's been ages since I've spoken to her and it's not fair, I have to write her an email. I don't even know her child, for fuck sake!

18.- Jorge Leon - Geo
You'd think that best friends are the ones that never piss you off. Wrong. It's the ones that can get on your nerves and still be a brother after, those are the best kind. Why am I saying this? I punched this guy in the jaw once and then we became really good friends. This dude was another one from the High School gang. The only one to have witnessed what have come be known as "The Eyebrow Event" (my stupid cousin got drunk in Aruba and got his eyebrows shaven by some random guys, and this guy as was witness to that), and the source of most of my Music back then.

19.-Marina Nava - Nina
This chick was a pain in the ass really. You think Sheldon was just a fictional character? Well, wrong again, friend. But she is actually a great person willing to go all the way for her friends. Not everyone do that, and even if she can be really annoying and even if we've had our fights. Who the fuck cares? Nina was always there.

20.- Marysabel Gainza - Marysa
We all have that quirky friend. She was mine. To be quite honest I didn't know her like I wish I had, but I do remember talking her and joking about life. She used to have hand puppets made of paper, with names and histories and all... One of them died of a liver disease.

21.- Erlan Reverol - El Elfo
Our "goth" friend... He wasn't goth like, Norway goth, but he was as close as it gets. Countless hours playing Table Top RPGs and countless more planning shit that never took place! The only bad thing about him is that, OF ALL THE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD... He moved to China. He probably doesn't know but while playing with him I discovered A LOT about myself, and I appreciate that more than anything he could have ever done, or could ever do.

22.- Ana Valentina Chavez - Honey
She is the only one on earth that can get info out of me that easily, that is an accomplishment. When I met her she was just the friend of the sister of my friend's girlfriend; and although I remember seeing her as the most interesting of the bunch of people that was forced in my life at the moment, still I never did shit to get in contact with her. Years passed, and our relationship changed from one thing to the other. We've been through a lot and that made me grow up a lot, although no matter the age or whatever she's always gonna be bigger than me in a lot of ways.

23&24.- Rafael Polanco and Victoria Guerra - Napo y Vicky
The Glam General himself! We're talking about a guy that missed a weekend long road trip of pure rock, because he'd be tired afterwards. But come on, if he had not done it, I wouldn't have gotten the chance to make fun of him XD This guy's pretty hardcore none the less, he have made the choice to leave twice, I can imagine that's an easy feat. And his lovely girl, Vicks whom I came to love like crazy! It's not easy to find someone with a sense of humor that remotely like mine and such great taste in movies. Lovely pair of human beings.

25.- Ruth Ramirez - ruTH
There a little thing about her last name and another really big thing about her that kept the laughs going forever. But hey, if you wanna met an 8 years old girl trapped in a woman's body, you've got to meet ruTH; she can get a smile out of you without even thinking about it. One of the sweetest  persons I know.

26.- Maurizio Dikdan - Mau
Mau was this quiet guy at Vicky's place, and it turns out that he is El Elfo's cousin! I never got to know that much of him, but having a talk with him was always interesting. He is one of these guys that tries to find the logic in everything, much like myself. Maybe that's why I immediately knew we'd get along.

27.- Isabel Faccini - Isa
This girl is wise beyond her age, albeit a little biased in her opinions by her own beliefs; which are not bad or wrong in any fucking way! It's just that sometimes I found myself having a hard time trying to make her see that I was in agreement with her, lol. Also, I have a fame of being very difficult to be left speechless while I'm are joking around, I always have a comeback line. But she always found a way of making me say "You win this time".

28&29.- Cesar Rojas and Luis Aparicio - Mis Senpai
These two taught me Japanese even if for a brief time. Luis, I didn't know that much but, based on musical taste alone, I bet we could have been really good friends. And Cesar, what he went through just before leaving the country... It would have destroyed me, and you too. It takes a really big pair of cojones to pull what he pulled. Truly an admirable person.

30.- Diego Rangel - Diegoncio!
The Calva that keeps on giving, another one of my metal heads. This guy saw Iron fucking Maiden with me, we gamed together, we role played together. Truly my brother from a different mother. He was a funny guy, and I am told I am too... But when we got together, and drank together, we were fucking annoying! Who else remembers "Cher" or "Who is Noel Gallagher?" XD

31.- Lorvelis Madueño - Roru
This little birdie flew away just when I was staring to really know her. Being at her farewell party organized by her Japanese Study group was one of the most emotional scenes I've ever seen. You just don't make people behave like that and feel like that unless you're truly something. And you ARE truly something.

32.- Pamela Mrvaljevic - Pame
In Diablo III the Demon Hunter uses Hatred to fuel skills and shouts "VENGEANCE!!" while killing hordes of hell spawns. Well, Pam goes "Pew Pew Pew!" while playing with her Demon Hunter. And you know what? If anyone else does it it'd be annoying, but if you have a problem with her going "Pew Pew Pew!" then fuck you. Now seriously, she gave the best piece of advice ever, and she taught me how to say "Mojon de Pantera" in Croatian. Great person.

33.- Luis Miguel Delgado - Luismi
M'lord Derp was the friend of a friend until we gamed together. There are two ways of truly knowing someone: 1.- Fight that person. 2.- Game with that person. Granted, he can be a bit annoying sometimes, but in his case it comes from being a guy with a certain set of convictions, and he stands by them. Gotta respect that.

34.- Carlos Reyes - El Comic!
This dude I never got to know really well, but he's always been there, you know? Like, from a distance, but there. A very loyal friend with the weirdest sense of humor and the craziest art skills.

35.- Patricia Sanchez - PatS
This girl right here was the only one that we could talk for hours about football! You know what was a bit fucked? We are such football fans that at some point the girls were all pissed at us for talking so much about the damned thing... Except for PatS! She's the sweetest little kid, and I never got to play football against her, but I bet she's way better than me.

36.- Michelangelo Partipilo - Mike
Mike was a kind of mystery to me, because I was kind of afraid of him. He had a certain reputation on IRC, so I always tried to keep my distance; but when I got back to Maracaibo turns out that he was friends with Nina... Then I found out that all the rumors were true. But he's a nice guy, he wont fuck you up unless you give him reason. He was always smiling.

37,38 and 39.- The Guzman Brothers - Catire, Rafa y El Ball.
They are my cousins. The youngest was like 10 years older than me. Now, I've never like being compared to any fucking one, and my dad used to do that a lot. But when he compared me to these guys, it felt only right you know? If you're gonna have a role model in your life you might as well pick one of these 3 guys, because they truly are examples to follow.

40.- Maria Valentina Cadenas - MaVa
This girl's Diablo. In the good way! She's really acid, her sense of humor's like... well... really acid! But at the same time she's the sweetest most awesome girl you'll meet. Fun to be around, always with a bright smile. She's coming here at the end of the month and I am actually really looking forward to hanging out with her, even if for just a few minutes.

41.- Roberto Arenas - El Bobert
This guy was really shy, but he was a real trooper. I've known him since I was on the 3rd grade and up until he left we used to meet a lot either at Lalo's or at Machorro's. He never really said a lot, but when he did speak, it was always something worth being told, although sometimes it was just bad jokes.

42.- Martin Lee - El Chino
This dude was my lucky charm in every School yard fight XD He was really huge, we used to say that on hot days you could get a nice shade from him to hide from the scorching sun. Plus he did Tae Kwon Do... So yeah... We were safe! I remember playing hockey with this dude was painful, but you're not hardcore unless you live hardcore.

43.- Davide Di Turo - Tankerman
Another one of the head banger, although this guy was more numetal than the rest of us. This dude was really nice to hang out with, always! If I wanted do something stupid there was only so many people I could count on! And this dude was one of them.

44.- Carlos Storms - Dad
Last but not least, this dude. He's a bit older than me... And you remember how I said Yoka was kind of my mom? Well this dude got together with her, and kind of took very seriously the "So you're new dad?" joke. Seriously, this dude advised me, talked with me about serious shit, he even taught me how to drink! I mean, I had already drank before meeting him; but the way I drink right now, it's all because of my conversations with him, while having a drink of course.


No pretty ending, I'm tired.
