CENTRO IN DOWNTOWN MIAMI

Last Friday I went to Centro – lounge and restaurant at Conrad Hotel, 1395 Brickell Avenue. In reality, it is more like a club than a lounge. At the moment I cannot say anything about the food since I got there after dinner time. The music is a mix of electronic, the 90s, the 80s, rock, pop latino. There is a guy that plays the drums at the same time that the DJ is playing the music. The best part is all the cute guys and women that go there… lot of pretty people in Miami.

I went to this place to meet a guy I met last Monday in Lincoln Road. He is only 23 years old. For some reason I was attracted to him. I guess it was his childish look. I thought he was going to be happy to see me, but that was not the case. However, for some reason, I was not disappointed, so I decided to stay, have a drink, and observe.

I like to try to imagine what happens behind the external appearance of people. What is the real story behind all the makeup, the designer clothes, the silicones? What are the real reasons why people go to these places?

At the end of the night, I met somebody. This man was like a fresh breeze in this convoluted place. It was one of these strange experiences: I was not attracted to him phisically, but I was drawn to him. It was so nice to meet somebody like him that even if I don’t see him again I will always be grateful for the boost of free and positive energy that he gave me that night.
