Sorry US-guys but all people I met till now, especially women, are totally fake.
I cant distinguish between flat fake nice talk and real opinions. I hate that !!! I'm so
unhappy. Everybody here is ****ing fake!!! What a dilemma. :(

I thought you had a girlfriend? Anyway, you are a pretty sarcastic guy on here,
maybe people don't get YOU???? (Don't like fake people....but what is YOUR real
name?) Where are you, in NY? You should hang with me and I will introduce you to
some nice and fun people and chicks if you want. Anyway, you should not have
problems since you play guitar....did you not bring it???

Hey Ramzi, I hope everything works out for you. If you are in the NY area please come by. You can show me some Gypsy Kings and your version of "Stairway to Heaven". Oh, and give me the guitar tuner you promised.

I haven't forgotten. If I am near you in New York, I'll be sure to let you know.

Hey! Ricardo!

Your post makes me happy!
Im at the Michigan State University right now. I really would love to come over to NY. You could not believe how much I need to get to know some nice people in my age.. During my stay here I will definitely go over to NY 1-2 times. The questions is only, when I could make that happen. Its quite a distance.. I will let you know. Would be so much fun to meet in person after all what happened here over the years!! I hope I dont get beaten down! haha.. But you will see, Im in real life a very different person than here. Im serious, polite, nice, etc... ;)
I wasn´t able to bring my guitar.. it was too big..I had clothes for around 7month to carry.. No space left for a guitar. Im looking for a cheap guitar right now to stay in shape.
And yes, some people dont get me. I can´t put on my fake happy smileface and smalltalk about redundant things.. I get bored really fast. And then you can see it in my face.. Too bad that here is no one with whom I could talk a little about flamenco.

LOL....Yeah....it is kind of big. Its a MAC thing...this is actually the smallest export size believe it or not

If you export a photo to your desktop for example. Click on it and it will open in Preview. Then click tools in the the drop down menu. Then click adjust size. You can also choose custom when exporting from iphoto. You can then type in the max dimensions.

Hey Ramzi,

three months away from the guitar is sad news ;), but you seem to do what you enjoy with your life and the guitar is not the only thing so I guess its only refreshing.
I havent been very active here lately but Ive been lurking around and enjoying the uploads so definately I will miss yours.
Have a good time with your stay there and with your studies.

the plan is to eventually move to the USA to train/work as a psychiatrist

So I'm not going to be the only Flamenco-Psychiatrist on the foro for long

Good luck!

Im at the Michigan State University right now. I really would love to come over to NY.

Actually I am not in NY I am in Washington DC. But I have friends in NY and friends
here that go up there often, so a meet up is possible. Anyway, get a guitar and don't
be shy to take it out in public, and you will see your social experience change.

Wow, very cool. A psychiatrist at that! A very interesting profession, Herr Docktor! Good luck, something for sure will work out. So I will subsist on your youtube uploads in the meantime... been meaning to work on some rumba stuff you have up there.

Hey Doit,

I thought you were getting your PhD somewhere in Japan or Germany. How did you end up at MSU? And what program / field are you part of at MSU? PM me if you prefer to fly under the radar. Cheers!
