Chronicles from a Catalan Dolphin

This blog is about the crazyness-turned-laughing about living in USA and surviving to it.
Hey, better laugh about than cry about, right?

I write from Ohio, where I am doing my Ph.D. at Kent State University. Tough science, rough parties and global roomates...

My friends like it hot

Can you tell me what you talk about with your friends? Come on, come on, make an effort to remember. Do you think is customary to speak about food? Hobbies? Sports? Or this is already too outdated? In Europe, I remember to have brough up this issues, but in USA, they’ve changed forever. Let me describe you a case study that happened to me recently:


10pm Sunday
David’s appartment at South Lincoln

The streets are dark, as usual in the lightless street policy of Ohio. While cooking, I notice a sudden face moving through my front appartment window. Did I saw a ghost? No! As usual, only Phillip can be the one trying to scare you BEFORE knocking at the door as 99% of mankind does when visiting a friend. I open the door and blablabla, after all the smalltalk-crap, the converstion starts:

Phillip- So, how have you been?
David- Oh, well, and u?
Phillip- not much,
David- so what happened to you lately?
Phillip- Oh, not much…I have a friend…he changed sex 2 days ago.

Make me a favor: reproduce the time-bullet effect from the movie Matrix for 5 seconds. This is, don’t move a hair in your body during 5 seconds.

Ok, so that’s it. Instead of talking who beat the Indians last night or if its going to snow tomorrow, in USA, a new field of subjects can be “smoothly” approached without problems. Thanks to the sexual revolution, the gay rights and the latest tecnology in sexual morphing, a hole new range of unconventional talking awaits you in the land of opportunity.
