that little northern breeze keeps the latinos indoors lol

you must not be american to speak boldly like that :D

I havent been following much because the circus is so far above my head other than the few items i can only get from places they put santa tax on only kids from Disneyland can afford but im guessing you would have an "influx of sout-americans" due to some guy in washington going bonkers over something thats been lasting too long and now ends up with impossible solutions ... and as canada is liberal in its own way you get to carry the benefits of that ( ... :) )
something like that i guess?

overhere we barely ever see any latinos (or asians for that matter) ... So much not that latinos dont even have their own stereotype in the folk-lore (and asians are "always working") while africans are lazy , mocros are criminals and the turks and the polish steal the work because they work longer for less

.. but thing is as with all stereotypes : last time here the boiler in the bathroom was leaking down the hallway it took one phonecall on a saturday night, sunday a guy was here, the leaks were plugged (sunday prices ofcourse but still less than your "buy local" KMO) , by wednesday the new thing was installed and the pipes were actually fixed too while they were at it. All turqs as far as i know. Probably cost the old VMO-man a year of his life but i have to say these pukkkers did good work fast for less ... and apparently even nationalists think wallet first these days .. Try to get a local guy, you get stuff like "YEA I FORGOT , but NEXT WEEK sure !" and then like after 2 months you just give up or else. Yea we'll come for that window next week and you dont see them ... so i guess thats how "the turqs and the polish get their bad reputation"

...
its a total mess , the new government pretending to be nationalists rode in on the new-wave( which is like 2 decaded old) to the far right but actually they're the employers union in disguise and the plan is mainly to take the last money from the low-end guttertrash to feed the employers union AND pay off the national debt
which some say will be after "de put van martens" in the 80s now de krater van de wever i guess .... (80s was all about "inleveren" and there was no more money and EVERYONE JUST HAD TO CHIP IN THEIR PART (xept the brussel-suits)

its like that shirley bassey and propellerheads song, from here to palesting ... i look back at the late 80s when i started noticing the outside world

its like all the same, just more corporate garbage language and you have to tip toe around every word you say twice

but arafat still bombs jews and the jews shoot back

...

i dunno if the russians havent cashed in yet, i think gazprom , the oil-barons and the upper echelon has but as usual the plebs hasnt

the antwerp diamonds (featuring russia) were doing extremely well some time ago i hurrd

its probably all a matter of perspective and where i sit (and even where you sit isnt really the 50th floor of montparnasse, right)

it just looks different looking up, than it does looking down, i remember standing there on the 50th floor watching down on paris and EVERYTHING LOOKED SO CLEAN, with the streetlights coming on, like a cartoon-twon

you couldnt even smell the homeless excrements and fluids on the bottom floor outside upthere

twas miraculous

but bad perspective

...

personally my fatigue has been going down rapidly in the last two years and my legs are like giving out or something so bad i fear there might be crutches or a wheelchair involved within 5 years if it keeps this pace ... but THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH ME (cant afford that as the state today) on the scans so its all fine

i can still program to keep my head full with stuff thats not belgium

otherwise, from here to scandinavia, its never been an always-positive world here lol

ANYWAYYYYYYY

.... i bet we'll get some real gud entertainment as the big suits dont lose face to each other at the price of the plebs, the guttertrash and soon the middle class

it used to be about a different group, now there's so many politicians per square meter im sure its about them these days

take care, try not to fly a drone into the ceiling

im sure life will go on, it just wont be back to where it was, look back to the 70s or 60s post war , it only actually went downward after that and they cant have ein frischer krieg again b/C the mines are running dry. It would end up empty with no materials to rebuild and have mcdonalds take over europe.

I think if youre aroound our age we got the last of the best of it man, we also probably gonna die before it hits the worst of it ... (or sooner by some debilitating shyte ofcourse .... thats ALWAYS an option heheh)

im not losing sleep over that

errh i just realized ... 2 hours later apparently it needs a small correction, since some years we DO have latinos here but they're not mainstream enough to have their own stereotype yet. They're taking over the mocro (which is the name of the organisation that was there since somewhat after the miners i guess) in Antwerp , colombians and mexicans, mostly from the sinaloa sector ... but its a minority ...

... hem ... yea but yea they're here .... 't is true, they just dont make much noise

...
it really IS a mess (i want to disclaim that i dont want anything to do pro or con there ... thats way out of my league)

"to be complete and correct" ... :)
