tshamoya - no number

[Guest guest]

tshamoya,<br><br>That's not fair.<br><br>If you'd

read his posts regularly (I do; his British sense of

humour is phenomenal!), you would certainly know that

ineednonumber23 is actually one of the biggest fans of your

country you can find on this board.<br><br>So it

shouldn't upset you if he - occasionally - calls the US "a

fukked country and no mistake". Judge yourself, since

you live there: AMERICA, is that really a place all

milk & honey? Germany, I can assure you, is

not!<br><br>I think you Americans are too sensitive, and that's

your problem. (BTW, I have been in New York City once

for 2 weeks, and I truely enjoyed it a lot.)

It is not fair to tell nonumber to take a number?<br><br>You are a very serious

man msieur skull.

Hey Tshamoya<br><br>Mea culpa: Its true i love

america - well has to be said ive only been to nyc 4

times and chicago once so really i dont know what the

fuk im talking about but i do consume an awful lot of

american cultural product and its a very weird country.

<br><br>do you know a richard ashcroft song called 'new

york'? that says much. ny, i guess i see nyc as a

hyperbolic account of the american way, is so alluring, so

fantastic. for me america is a country that can put its

thumb in its mouth whenever it wants to and it does.

and who can deny that?? <br><br>i love this place,

its my dark egomaniac side: caffeine; food NOW and

twice the size and half teh price and cheap and

wonderful clothes and a bar on every corner and a cafe in

between and eating out and ice in drinks and cocktails

for brunch and the very first time i saw manhatten

from teh shore off of brokklyn i cried and last year,

my fourth visit, i still stared with wonder like the

seven year old i am who's masquerading inside this 37

year old body. so i love america but i hate it becaue

its capital ways have converted pretty much all of

the planet ive been to so, slowly slowly we live in a

homogenised place where depth and comprehension are replaced

by surface and simulcra. <br><br>hmm. . . sorry got

a bit carried away there. to us stripling euorpeans

america seems so wasteful, so avaricious, so unthinking,

out of touch. still all the wars are over,america won

and you get to rule the world and eat all the pies

(which is why i like to come and grab at a few crumbs

one in a while).<br><br>all of which reminds me: does

anyone know if donna karen still does those DKNYoga t

shirts? incongorous to say the least!!<br><br>Oh and T.-

good riposte!<br><br>Shining S - many thanks for your

kind words. i was genuinelly touched.<br><br>boy wish

i could spell . . .
