Gladiator

Commodus leaves the arena. He goes to where his throne is and sits. He is mad and angry, so he starts yelling.
Commodus: Adviser! Where are you?!
The adviser appears running into the emperor's chamber.
Adviser: What's happened sir?
Commodus: I just gave a thumbs up to a gladiator, but he wasn't just a gladiatr. he was Maximus Meridas, the old general of the army.
Adviser: What is he doing as a gladiator? You should've killed him, why did you gave him a thumbs up?
Commodus settles on the throne.
Commodus: Because of the croud. They were all yelling at me to do it and I wasn't going to say no. I can't just kill him and expect everyone to be calm. They like him. 
Adviser: You should get rid of him before anything happens.
Commodus: And that's exactly what I am planning to do. 
The adviser thinks with his mouth opne and stares at the emperor.

Technology story

So after an exhausting day on France, we were about to get in the elevator o the Eiffel Tower. Well, at least to the highest place possible and then we will start walking.

I was so excited. I've been waiting all day for this moment. I was a little bit worried because I had left my camera on the hotel room and I had no cellphone. I knew Mark had his cellphone with him, so he would be able to take the photos.

We got into the elevator and half way to the top, it stopped. I freaked out. I got close to Mark and started praying for it to work. I was about to scream when the lights turned on again and the elevator continued its path.

We finally got to the top. I didn't even wanted to go down again but I knew I had to. The moment Mark took the photograph of us at the top of the Eiffel Tower, the cellphone ran out of battery. I was so mad that I couldn't believe it. After all that we went through to get ther, we weren't going to have a memo.

Mark told me to calm down and so I did.
We went back again and luckily the elevator didn't stopped again.

The moment we got to land, I bent on my  knees and started kissing it. I was finally reliefed.
