Indeed, I remember your videos, Aiden ... in fact, I've saved them all. But, most of them, you've made unavailable to the public so I can no longer open them.

I loved, "Doing the Darcy" ... but, can no longer view it. I missed the one with your dad, I would have liked to see that one.

I'm glad to hear that life is good for you .. it's probably because of your energy in that what you send out is coming back to you.

Keep shining brightly, dude 😄

I am so in love with your city and your men!!! I've been here 1 whole day and the food the culture the place the men and the accents are all sooooo freaking sexy and captivating!!!

It's so nice to hear you speak fondly ... of late, your life had been dragging you down a tad, and you deserved to be in love with life for the moment.

Glad you're having so much fun. Oh, and fuck the French, their nasty fuckers.

@ Layna, After the last 2 days touring Paris, it is a beautiful city and a lot to offer a tourist. If you try to speak the language the Parisian's are way more polite and tolerant. One thing I noticed is no one smiles, they all look grumpy but I smile all the time and when I smile at them, guarantee they respond back. I guess they are just so busy with life that you forget to stop and smell the roses.

P, this has been my dream for many years and I'm definitely coming back to do Italy within the next 6 months, that is how long my friend is staying... and another stint in London is a must! Then I'm coming to America, never been there either. Chalking up the bucket list 🙂

I don't think I've been happier in my life as I have been these past 10 months.

Madrid tomorrow 🙂 Bull fight as soon as we get off the plane, then hiring a car to travel from the South of Spain through to the North. Madrid, Alicante, Valencia and Barcelona....this is going to be interesting as they drive on the right side of the road and we in Australia and New Zealand drive on the left :O

you'll have to excuse his strong, thick Geordie (northern) accent. Which i guess is quite fitting with this thread actually. Now that's what you call a proper British accent. None of this Hugh Grant/Harry Potter shit you Americans are used to haha

Nights I can challenge you in soap operas every day of the week.

If we're talking spanish, you don't stand a chance against my grandmother forcing me to watch that shit growing up.

Your dad sounded pretty upset, and as a parent, I guess he should be .... it's his job to be if he thinks something questionable has happened in his family.

He said, "Tell me it's you being creative, and not your mental state" ... or something like that, it's hard to understand his accent. You stopped it after that.

Did you reassure him that you're mental? .. or creative?

To be in the alley or in the park naked doesn't seem that bad to me, so long as you aren't slinging your dong at someone.

Your mother is disgusted, according to him ... and I truly hope that she is over that, and back to marveling at her wonderful son.

Another thing ... eventhough your dad was saying those things, his tone wasn't angry, so he really seems like a reasonable person. You're lucky to have such good parents.

Thanks for explaining.

haha, i went with creative. But i know i'm mad, and i'm sure he knows as well.
Mum is fine, she was just worried it would affect me getting jobs and things.
Yeah he can be pretty reasonable when he wants (needs), especially for an aries mars 🙂
The original conversation is 40 minutes long, i just cut out all the good stuff really which is a shame on his part because he was giving me some of his own ideas, he was upset i never went to him for creative input.
