So there is this great little hotel I stay in now in Faro, as a matter of course, since I keep ending up here. And they now know me by name, which is really cool. And they are so kind to me. I feel loved. How great is that.
So tonight, in full circle of life, I went to this bar called Che 60 Bar, and tonight was Karaoke night as I knew it would be. I sang Sarah McLachlan – Angel, Pink – Like a Pill, and Lisa Loeb – Stay – all very cathartic. And then a girl then sang Hero. Don`t remember who sings it but the lyrics were poignant. All in all, a very self-indulgent experience.
I remember the first time I went into that bar. I remember it well. Faro is now a place of memories and familiarities, mostly my own. I was here back in 1985 and now it is becoming my transit point in 2012.
But there is always a heavy and sad cloud that sits on memories, as much as we wish they didn’t. I still feel blessed, and I still know that life is grand, I just wish the punch lines had different endings.
