The seven years invasion

gabrielsmy blog posts 24 Mar 201011 Mar 2026

I was in a brothel in Valencia,
on honeymoon (long story).

Drunk on a cocktail of champagne,
orange juice, and possibly gin.

We were there for the Fallas festival,
and mistook the news footage of the invasion
for televised fireworks.

Where were you when you heard about the Iraq invasion? on deeplyflawedbuttrying.
