Not that I want to get too politcal on a dank site. But my wife is Brazilian...we went to England back in 2001. We stayed with a Brazilian woman who houses Brazilian transplants into London (yes they were hotties). Anyway. One night this Brazilian chick starts telling me how we have no culture. I'm a little burnt out on that.why would we give a fuck when we run this bitch? lol jk. im an american and ill be the first one to tell you: we couldnt give a damn less about your country's culture.. no need to. were all ignorant assholes. end of story.. or maybe sometimes foreigners are too snobby to see the truth....?
actually, no , on second thought, we really are just dickheads.
No culture...really?
I tell her have you heard of Elvis..."The King." The man that was praised by the Beatles because "before Elvis there was nothing." She responded with "of course I know of Elvis."
I asked her "have you ever hear of Jazz or The Blues." She says "yes I love the blues." Well sweetheart the blues is 100% American and so is Jazz.
"Have you ever heard of Michael Jackson..."
I'm sure you can see where this is going. Long story short. She was wearing American clothing that was made in China, listened to American music. Lived in London because she couldn't get a Visa to live in the US (you only need a passport to live in UK) knew all about American "culture" and had a date that night with an American to go see a movie that was...you guessed it...an American flick. Oh, she smokes cigarettes. On the count of three lets guess what brand she smokes. 1...2...3 Marlboro.
My goal isn't to diss anyone or their country. My goal here is to say hey, just cause your flat in London is older than our country doesn't mean we don't have a culture.
I could go on about all the things I can't stand here. But I've got to tell you. I truly feel I live in the best country, in the best state in the best city (San Diego).
Now if only the economy would go back to what it was like for me in 2007, I would honestly have zero complaints about anything other than my plants that aren't growing into trees.
Love peace and chicken grease.
