The Funny People of Sevilla

I always tend to attract the zany. My days in New York proved that, from a roommate who thought she dying of a dreaded disease to another who kept forgetting to go to work, to a zany mother who wore a sandwich board to work to impeach Bush and another with a portrait of herself in a prom dress hanging over her mantle (right beside a stuffed bobcat), the borderline crazy seem to find me.

Here in Sevilla its no different. In five days, this is who has crossed my path.

1) My friend Salima, who has told her husband she is a lesbian as to not have to involve herself in such marital acts.

2) My 'landlord' Josef, who has yet to change his clothes since Tuesday.

3) Carmelo, the neighborhood drunk, who 'lost her ass'

4) The man with the birds who frequents Jonathan's in search of cigarettes

5) And maybe myself, as watching these characters in their daily lives amazes me, its humorous and my one goal is to write about them and the stories of their lives.

Yep, maybe we are all a little crazy, but here in Sevilla, it just makes you normal.
