so i have been traveling for the last week or so and have been some places. went to rome it was dirty. went to venice it smelled bad. then i landed on a little place called florence and booyah. this place is amazing. barring the fact that in its' history it has porbably housed the best artist ever, it is an beautiful city. i had one of the best meals i've ever had a place called cibreo(go there), i saw where all the ninja turtles are buried, and then i saw the david. i had actually seen this 10 years ago but apparently was too cool to understand how ridonculous it is. michelangelo must have been a dick because he basically said, "oh you do sculpture well check this out. and in my free time i'll paint and build churches." also the duomo(i don't like jesus and really don't like churches) but it is the most metal thing ever. giotto was in metal church i think. fun fact he was also 4 feet tall and supposedly hunchback. in everyone's face.
art sucks now
p.s. if you know what harry's bar is in venice don't go there. unless you enjoy being treated like garbage and being overcharged for steamtable food. ooooo i said it what.
psycho killer... c'est que se?
1 and 1 still don't equal five

I should make you read "The Agony & the Ecstasy". It is a highly fictional account of the life of Michaelangelo which has enough basis in truth to make it interesting. Anyway, the point is, all he really wanted to do was make sculptures of mythological Greek gods and it was the pope at the time, one of those pesky de Medici motherfuckers, who kept making him come paint and design domes and shit, which he abhorred. Deep down I think he was just an angry old pagan at heart. It should make you like him even more.
Over and out.
