koln second time around

So Now we are here again. I found myself here on very bad terms in my walk with the Lord. The devil convinced me halfway during my mission trip and way before that witnessing wasn't for me. The worst part is that I believed him hook line and sinker. So yea before the whole mission trip began I was talking to some friends of mine that I had met through a friend online and I knew they weren't Christian or religious for that matter. I loved that fact because they didn't care about anything. I thought that would be great I could see Germany for what it is with no filters or limits, I have to say know I wish there were some limits. You will see why I wished that there were some of my friends from the Bible college with me. Actually I know for a fact that if any of them were with me i wouldn't have done this. It was the fact that I could have the chance to hide my sins. That's why I did it, that and I can't do it at home because of the law of the land. I pray that the Lord will be with me the day I turn of age, its going to be the hardest birthday.So any way after arriving of the train at the cologne train station. I realized that I didn't call them and let them know what train station and what platform I was on, or even the time that I would arrive at. I know I am a horrible friend. So after that I called the school because they were the only ones who had the number. Yea I even forgot to write down the number.After spending three euros which in dollars in a lot of money. I then called my friends that were going to pick me up. They were a little upset of how late that I was but they still wanted me to hang out. Let me back up a little about the situation that is going on right now, so that day we had just been on a train for 8 hours with no food.I then printed out a schedule for the stops that were going to cologne, so I could see which one that i had to switch on and off at. After that I hopped on to the train almost missing it. Then I got off on the wrong stop and ran to the next one, it was great running along the tracks.After getting on the train for the second time, I made it to the stops that i needed to, still not having anything to eat though.For some reason I had bought a pack of smokes when I was in Leipzig. So having no spare money to use on food that was ridiculous expensive anyway. So I sat on the steps of the Dom the really big cathedral in cologne. So I am just sitting there smoking these cigarettes, they were awful tasting, they took away my hunger for the time being so I KEPT SMOKING THEM UNTIL THERE WERE ALMOST GONE. I had 6 left out of 18. I wasn't hungry any more though.So after they had found me siting on the steps, we while walking back to the car got talked into going into a prayer thingy going on in the cathedral. I t was a little weird, one because it was a catholic church, two because everything was in German or Latin. Two languages that I don't know.So after that we finally arrived at the house that the party was going to be at. I have to say that it was really lame. Everyone was sitting around and talking of course in German. I think the party would have been better earlier on in the night but by the time I got there it was like ten o clock so it was a little understandable. So I got to know lots of people there and starting talking to this guy named Phillip, he had a amazing car. He asked me if I had ever gone on the autobahn> I had never been on the autobahn so I said 'no'. So he said that he needed to get some smokes and asked me if I wanted to go, excited I said yea. So we get into his car and he puts on this amazing techno music it was so amazing. I started to talk to him about how do you come across plates from Germany.I wanted to get some for my Bug, it would look so cool. He had some old ones from an old car that he had sold and said that I could have them. So before we went on the autobahn we went to his house and picked up the plates. I was on cloud nine. From there we proceeded to go on the autobahn, I thought i would die of excitement, we got up to 250 km, which is like 160 mph. we took at urn at 140 it was so awesome.the techno music made it even better.We went around to some different gas stations to find these cigars that only cost 1 euro and they were really according to everyone. big and tasted all right. So I really wanted to try them out,we finally did find them and they did taste pretty good for a euro. we went back to the house after that, this is where it gets fuzzy, for obvious reasons.So it all started out with a couple of San Miguel's they tasted all right but I wasn't really liking the taste of them. they went great with my cigar though. After I had a couple of those this guy I totally forgot his name but I remember that he was totally awesome he liked every show that I did. He was also really funny, I don't know why but hearing a German mock Neal Patrick Harris was so funny, you had to have been there. So then me and him as a celebration he poured me I think it was like 4 shots of vodka in a glass. I didn't know that you weren't supposed to take it one shot. I had some hookah after that it was really good this time.I remember while we were smoking it we had to hold the smoke in our mouth until the next person was done then we could let out.It was a lot of fun. That' all that i remember that can make sense.Lots of vomit and i think i was speaking german the rest of the night.

Koln

so this was the first time I went to colonge. Yes I have been there many times during that semester. for me that was my place to sin, I could be anybody there no one knew who I was my past or anything. I could make a new identity. The reason I went there was because of a friend who met some Germans at a English school in USC. So I started to talk to them before I went there, I got to know them a lot they said that they would show me around as long as they told them when I would be there. So I did and they picked me up the next day after I dropped my stuff off at the school. Off to cologne I went, with two people that I have never met in real life, it was amazing. When we arrived we went to the restaurant that they worked at and had this amazing dish. It was called schnitzel it was really good, it was even better with the beer of cologne, I can't pronounce the name or else I would have told you what it was called. After that we went and met some of their friends who seemed to be very really pretty I never knew of something like that to exist. Ended up smoking some hooka.From there we went miniature bowling while taking shots of Yeager, it was horrible and great at the same time. After that I don't remember much but the fact that we didn't do much. The next day they made breakfast German style it was awesome, and yes for all of you reading this I don't proofread anything.

the next day

well i totally forgot about this blog when I was in GERMANY, I have rediscovered it though and realized that i never talked about the day after my first post about the campus. I did remember going up to the lookout point and wrote a lot. I wrote about all the things that were bothering me at the time. It had to do alot with this girl. She made me so happy and excited. i thought she might be the one, I could be so open with her it was awesome. Through many crazy events that the Lord allowed through spiritual warfare I ended up falling greatly but grew greatly in the end. Through that though I eneded a realtionship that really broke my heart. She was great and everything was amazing about her. Now she won't even say hi anymore to this day. I can see now that it wouldn't have worked out since she lived in another country. One thing that got me through this was the Bible. James was the book that helped me the most along with praying to God. There on out it was a really long semester. It seemed like forever even after everyone had left. That was my last three weeks in Germany.here are many other crazy adventures that I have to talk about but that's for another time and another place maybe the coffeehouse or the park.
