eventually i should go to one of these roadburn fests, i guess, right? but i don't wanna go to Holland. what the fuck is in Holland for me? what could holland have to offer anyone? i have a friend who wants to travel the world and go experience new things and meet new people, my mom and my sister is the exact same way.
i just don't understand them.
i hate the friends that i have and want to know less people. meeting more people will only over complicate my stupid simple shallow fucked up life. i don't really like the world all that much and i can't imagine there is anything in Europe that is gonna re-align my perception. if anything it will make me feel more inadequate towards where i live. i think its funny the us has a historical society, like building 200 years old should be saved when there are thousand year old streets in the world, its kind of an insult to a place with an actual culture to make believe an old library built by robber barons originally just to store wheat in is a significant place worthy of being protected where there are parts of italy where caeser stood.
but again the whole European superiority complex drives me up a wall, like they've done anything for the last 200 years, how Europeans can act high and mighty because their ancestors did great things, that shit happened so long ago their ancestors could be mine by now. Spain has done nothing in the last 20 years to make me say "wow" other than a couple goals by Xavi Alonso. don't even get me started on France for the 10th time.i like Germany a lot, strong industry and products, their own language and the landscape, the mountains, the villages the deep fucked up forests. Can't overlook the Nazi thing i guess, doesn't matter how great their luxury cars are, holocaust is pretty unforgivable. to sit back and act like you're superior to america because people you never met did amazing things 300 years ago when since then in all actuality you have done much less than the us is kind of stupid. i mean seriously what the fuck has Austria or Poland done in the last 100 years? Greece peaked over a thousand years ago, imagine it being 1000 years since broadrick was in godflesh and it was a thousand fucking eps of stupid songs and 400 bad side projects of shitty unimaginative songs? 250 remix releases? robotic empire would even have to say enough was enough.
at this point my family has been out of Ireland and Scotland by 200 years, shouldn't i have an equal claim to all the great cultural advan...ok bad example, but imagine if my family originated from a country that actually did something? would i still get to claim it was my country's work? i'm just as connected to those people as the people living in the country now, if anything i've done more because my family traveled into the great unknown and they just treaded water and got the euro.
this all really stems because i feel inadequate towards girls who want more from the world than i have ever experienced, it only really makes me breathe in the air around me and how tired i really am of the same smell and how i'm much too afraid to ever change it no matter how great the "ifs" are. its funny knowing i'm currently within 20 miles of where i will die. it sucks knowing i'm going to experience .2% of the world around me.
omega massif is a band by the way i don't really know anything about them other than they are good, godfather can fill in the rest i guess, who gives a shit, i'm gonna go listen to air and try not to feel terrible about breathing

"i'm gonna go listen to air and try not to feel terrible about breathing". This post didn't ruin my day until that last phrase. :(
nice live journal entry, fag ass.
" . .the whole European superiority complex drives me up a wall, like they've done anything for the last 200 years"
"at this point my family has been out of Ireland and Scotland by 200 years, shouldn't i have an equal claim to all the great cultural advan...ok bad example . . ."
In the last 200 years, the Scottish people have invented - the telephone, the television, the bicycle, the steam engine, penicillin, radar, insulin, fingerprinting, hypnosis, golf ,soccer,the refrigerator and the flushing toilet.

And way before that, we invented whisky. Some respect is due.
scottish people living in the us?
awesome so my point holds true
Look what the US has been up to in recent history, a lot to be proud of?
"Ironically"
..also & scroll down for recent
..and also
pride is relative to success.
So, I take it you're about 14 years old?
I really didn't expect the 'Scotland invented everthing' argument in here, we're a smart bunch all right but it was far more driven by boredom and long winters (and pissing off the English). We've pretty much sat on our arse since we all got TVs and deep fried smack, stepping away only to break God's law by creating Dolly the Sheep and The Proclaimers.
a president does not speak for the advancement of a nation. and the middle east was out of control and someone had to go be a chaperon, i just wish it wasn't the us's job. believe me i'd love to have the us pull out and then have every country that looked down on the us for being involved have to intervene whenever shit is out of control
Holland has windmills, tulips, turtles, and clogs according to Futurama.
ps tesla was not scottish and he invented the phone
Yeah Uh Tim Berners Lee was English.
"a president does not speak for the advancement of a nation. and the middle east was out of control and someone had to go be a chaperon, i just wish it wasn't the us's job. believe me i'd love to have the us pull out and then have every country that looked down on the us for being involved have to intervene whenever shit is out of control"
We always do have to intervene because you fuck everything up, hello a 10 tank killers "we're goin' to jail dude"
Needless to say you stick your nose into everything that you think concerns you, there is no "european superiority complex" you just imagine it and then we play on it for a laugh you're far more arrogant than we could ever be.
Also if you're referring to Dawkins, well the guy is a superhuman and not actually English.
what does darrel dawkins have to do with this?
and of course america involves itself and shit they don't belong in because no other country does and i seem to remember arab people not being to fond of english trains so don't act like they were just passing the heineken and minding they business....god i wanna listen to LLCOOLJ
the world needs countries to step up when people are going crazy, i wish it wasn't americas job, i wish they had a strict platform of non-involvement
thus isn't the case however... i'm sorry
and stop acting like the uk isn't the robin to our batman
Thanks for the Omega Massif tunes dude!
the problem is europe wears short skirts and america wears t-shirts, they're the cheer captain and america is on the bleachers.
i want to marry a scottish man.
that's about all i have to contribute to this.
i hope he burns you with acid
See friendly debate is good.
i'm gonna reply to your original post, not to this "u.s. involvement" debate:
ok, i see what you mean, still there are so many places in europe where you can totally "immerse" yourself in atmosphere and genius loci, it has nothing to do with people, you don't have to share this with anyone. scotland was mentioned, so for example: there's a lot of places with a specific shining you just can't feel in US, super old monolith circles, churches that were built when christianity was yet in cradle so there are pagan gods and deamons just next to tortured christs...these are just dumb examples but still very strong experiences...i mean, i believe there's a lot of worth to be found in europe for anybody. sorry for my bad english, whatever.
Hey guy, you rule.
of course there is
my point from the beginning was 200+ years ago europe dominates
since then they're just as fat stupid and unproductive as america
No way bro, we invented the bug catcher, america meanwhile invented the economy crash.
yeah i lay in bed wishing our economy could be as strong enough to have to be bailed out by all the countries around me
heheh you fuckers. post some ambush instead. what about "LACH!"? the kids need to learn.
