Rammstein

I am listening to "Sehnsucht," the second CD by Rammstein. I remember when it came out. I was immediately a fan of their music. I have almost all of their CD's. I have a couple that I want to get. They are definitely a band I would like to see live. Til Lindemann has a sexy voice. I think all of the band members are still sexy. I wish I could have seen them in concert in their early days when they did more with flame flowers. Til Lindemann got burned several times during their concerts. I think he is a bit of a masochist. One of the things that I like about them is that they like to play around with their sexuality. In concert Til Lindemann would simulate fucking Flake, the keyboard player. When he was asked about this, he said, "I like to fuck Flake." There is also footage where it looks like Lindemann is pissing on the audience. Either it is fake or he has an extremely strong piss stream. In the music video for their song "Mann gegen Mann" all of the musicians perform nude without showing their genitals. Lindemann is wearing what looks likes panties and high-heeled boots. In the video their are nude men crawling all over each other. The song plays with the word "schwul" (gay in German). One of their more recent songs, "Pussy," has a pornographic video. It shows them having sex with women complete with cum shots. I never get tired of their music.

I also have a CD by Feeling B, a punk band that Flake and a couple of other guys who are Rammstein were in before they formed the latter band. They were a fun band too.

Meeting Someone Online, Is He the One?

I'm trying to wake up after not getting enough sleep. I talked for about an hour with someone I am getting to know. We met on Tagged. I am going to move slowly this time. Actually He did most of the talking. I am not complaining. I learned about him. He seems like a nice guy. One problem is that he lives in another state. I have a lot of stuff. Moving will not be cheap. I have a lot of stuff., clothes, books, CD's, DVD's, etc. I need to be open with him about my religious and political views. He knows that I have been a slut at times. I would like to be with a man, but I think that it is understandable why I would be cautious about a relationship started online. The first thing I need to know is that I can talk openly about anything. I do not want to hide anything about who I am. I would like to be in a committed relationship. I have not had any real experience with a committed relationship. I did try about twenty years ago, but it did not last long. The other guy wanted to keep our relationship secret, even from people who knew we were both gay. I had never been in a relationship before, and I was learning. Our sex was boring. These things along with some other issues did not help our relationship. We are still in touch. He is a good friend. I definitely want to get away from where I am. I think I can be in a committed relationship as long as there is open communication. I would also need time to adjust to a new living situation. I would also need to be able to visit friends, not for sex. I have friends I have mentioned before, and they are important to me. I am sure that we will be able to talk about things. Before I make any moves I will have to know if there are jobs available in whatever area I am moving to. I will also need to know how easy it will be for me to get around. I will also need to talk to him about my fetishes and kinks. I would like to be able to visit, but now that would be difficult, because I do not have vacation time until January. I am not making a decision now. I will wait until I see how openly we communicate.

Friends Who are Family (some sexual content)

How do you define family? I have friends who are family to me. We may be far apart from each other currently, but they are always in my thoughts and in my heart. I have the name of one of these friends on a tag on a collar that I wear frequently. We never had the typical master/pet relationship. It is a tender, loving relationship. I enjoy doing things for him. I love cooking and cleaning for him. I was the first man with whom he had sex. I sucked him and rimmed him. His hole is very tasty. I nibbled on his inner thighs. I licked up his load after he came. We slept that night together in bed. I know he would do for me whatever he could. I also have close friends with whom I have never had sex, but they are part of my family. We will never have sex, but I am able to tell them that I love them. I hope to be able to see these friends again. It does help to know that they are always a part of my life, but I long to be with them. I know that I do not have to hide who I am when I am with these friends. They are truly part of my family. One straight friend joked about my love handles. He was talking about my ears. The last time we saw each other we kissed. I miss him very much. He is my brother, not a biological brother but my brother nonetheless. I have another straight friend who openly shows his emotions. He is not afraid to be seen crying. He is someone I trust very much. He knows that I think he is sexy. He knows I would never make a move on him, and I know that he would never take advantage of my sexual attraction to him.  I still have the hope that I will be able to be close to my friends again. As I said, they are truly family.

Love Is Love

We should all have the same rights. These rights should not be up for popular elections. This includes the right to marry the person that one loves. I have read recently that those who are opposed to same-sex couples should be voted on by the people. If civil rights had been up for popular votes they would not have been passed. Giving someone else the same rights that you enjoy does not in any way restrict your own rights. The Defense of Marriage Act makes no sense. Allowing two men or two women to marry each other does not harm the rights of a man and woman to marry each other. I also do not see any problems with more than two people marrying each other as long as all parties consent. I do not know why conservatives are so concerned with what people do in their own bedrooms. Usually those who speak most loudly against two or more people of the same sex having sex together are guilty of questionable behavior themselves. They need to get their own shit together before they point their fingers at others. It is time for marriage equality. Love is love.

Mandragora: A Film by Wiktor Grodecki

"Mandragora," directed by Wiktor Grodecki is a well made but depressing film. It is about a fifteen-year-old boy who runs away from home and goes to Prague. He had not been going to school and his father threatens to beat him. It seems that his father loves him, but he does not seem to know what to do with his son. At the train station in Prague there are men who prey on runaways to lure them into lives of prostitution. Marek, the boy mentioned above, meets one of these men. He is not interested in whet the man wants him to do initially, but he fears being homeless on the streets of Prague. This man is one of several who promise safety and money to the teenagers, but they only want to exploit them. They are only interested in making money. They tell these youths that they need to keep their money to keep it safe. Once in the clutches of these men if they do not have sex with men they are beaten. They are also introduced to drugs and are often forced to be in porn videos. Most of these teenagers are boys, but there are some girls too. Grodecki has also made a couple of documentaries about teen prostitution and under-age pornography in Prague. Some of the boys in the movie had been prostitutes themselves. They appear in this film with the consent of their parents. I know that Prague is not the only city where these things go on. I do not have anything against prostitution, but I am against the exploitation of anyone. I will do anything I can to fight this exploitation. This film always has a strong effect on me. It is not an easy movie to watch.

Slovenski nogometni dres

I ordered an old, used Slovenian soccer jersey. It arrived in the mail yesterday. Here are some photos.

To me the name football is a more logical name for what we call soccer in the U.S. I wonder how American football came to be called football.

Another Day of Enjoying Being Me

I am going to enjoy this day. I may be working a shitty job, but I can still enjoy being me. I am not going to hide who I am. Many people are afraid of letting other people see their true selves. Everybody has something they hide. When I was in school in an Italian class we read a story about a man who was leading a double life. He was married with children, and at the same time he was having an affair. It may have been called "La doppia vita." There were some people who were shocked when I said that we all live a double life to some degree. I was not completely out at that time. I am not advocating telling everybody about everything in our lives, but I am saying that we should not have to hide our true selves. If someone asks me why I am not married I say that I have not met the right man yet. There are limits to this openness of course. If I could afford to smoke pot I would not talk at work about smoking or in any circumstance where it could cause legal problems. (I am for the total legalization of pot.) To some degree everybody is encouraged to hide their sexuality. Sex is treated as something to hide. Masturbation is treated as a guilty pleasure. Many people do it, and it is a healthy release. We do not need to talk about it, but we also do not need to hide the fact that we do it. Of course there are venues where discussing giving pleasure to ourselves can be fun. Children should be taught to be comfortable with whatever their sexual orientation is and whatever their gender identity is. They should be encouraged to be comfortable with all aspects of who they are. They should also be taught to accept the diversity of humanity. It is only harmful behavior that should be discouraged.

Encounter in a Public Restroom

I have met a new man whose cock I can suck. We met in a restroom recently. I had stopped in the restroom to use the toilet and to see if I could maybe encounter someone. This restroom was notorious years ago. At some times of the day all of the stalls would be occupied by men having sex. It was closed for a long time. There are signs outside that say that the area is under camera surveillance. This scares a lot of men away. After I finished using the toilet an older gentleman came in and stood at a urinal. He did not seem to be peeing. I looked to see what he was doing. He started stroking his cock. I stood at the urinal next to him. I looked at his cock, and he nodded. I got on my knees and started sucking him. He sucked my cock too. He was not able to cum, because he had jerked off earlier. We kissed too. We talked about meeting there again. I looked for him on Tuesday, but he was not there. I saw him again today, and again I sucked him. He played with my cock. He said that I made his cock feel good. After I sucked his cock he jerked it. He told me when he was about to cum. I took it back in my my mouth and he gave me his load. I swallowed. Hopefully I will get more of his cum. He is a good kisser too.

The Issue I have with Many Christians and the Cross

Jesus did say, "Take up your cross and follow me." I think he was talking about the hardships that we all face. I have heard Protestants saying in reference to crosses and crucifixes that Jesus did not stay on the cross but he rose from the dead. Jesus never said to turn the cross into a holy symbol. He never said to focus on the cross and ignore his teachings.  Many Christians want to pick the teachings of Jesus that fit into their agendas. There is too much emphasis put on the blood of Jesus and not enough on what he actually said. Not all of the teachings of Jesus are meant to be taken literally. I think that most people know this is true of the parables. but I think this is also true of what he said about taking up one's cross. He never said that the way to get into heaven was by means of the cross. He never said that he wanted his followers to build expensive churches and ignore the needs of the poor and the disenfranchised. He never said to judge other people. He definitely never said to put up gold crosses and crucifixes and to wear these things. He also never said to act as if you were better than other people. He did say to take care of the poor and sick and those in prison. If you want to be a Christian pay more attention to what Jesus taught. Stop staring at the cross and look at the teachings of Jesus.

Being a Good Sub Does Not Mean Not Having a Feeling of Self Worth

Being submissive is not the same thing as not having self worth. In order for me to really give of myself to somebody else I have to believe that I have something to give. I cannot please a dom if I do not thank that I have the ability to do so. This is something that can be done with pride, but it should never be done with arrogance. I am proud of my ability to please a man with my tongue. I could use practice giving a good blowjob, but I know that it is something I can do well. I am good at remembering the likes and dislikes of friends and loved ones. If I can please a man, and he wants his friends know that I am able to please him and he sees me as being his that gives me a feeling of pride. Being able to make someone else feel good adds to my feeling of self worth. If I displease my dom I do not feel good. My feeling of self worth cannot be given to me or taken away from me by someone else. I like to be able to do what pleases a man without him having to remind me every time. That does not mean that I forget my own needs. It just means that pleasing him is one of those needs. No one is without worth. We are all equal. We just play different roles. We all have different abilities. I just happen to best at learning languages and being a good at being obedient and pleasing a man.

Ich würde gerne einen Mann, den ich bitte haben könnte

I would definitely love to spend time in Germany. It would be great if I could find a man there who could teach me the language. It would be hot to have a man tell me in German the ways he wants me to please him. Having a gay German skinhead Master/Husband would make me very happy, especially if we could speak other languages together. I would make a very good urinal. I have mentioned how much the German language turns me on. I would be very obedient. I would not say no to a man in Central or Eastern Europe who would be patient with me as I learn to speak his language and how to completely please him. I want a man to please.

Ich würde auf jeden Fall gerne Zeit in Deutschland verbringen. Es wäre toll, wenn ich einen Mann gibt, der mir die Sprache zu lehren könnten finden. Es wäre heiß, um über einen Mann sagen Sie mir auf Deutsch die Art und Weise er will, dass ich ihm zu gefallen. Mit einem Homosexuell deutschen Skinhead-Master / Ehemann würde mich sehr glücklich machen, vor allem, wenn wir anderen Sprachen zusammen sprechen. Ich würde einen sehr guten Urinal zu machen. Ich habe erwähnt, wie sehr die deutsche Sprache macht mich an. Ich würde mich sehr gehorsam. Ich würde nicht nein zu einem Mann in Mittel- und Osteuropa, die wäre geduldig mit mir, wie ich lernen, seine Sprache und wie man ihn völlig bitte sprechen zu sagen. Ich will einen Mann zu gefallen.

Určitě bych rád tráví čas v Německu. Bylo by skvělé, kdybych mohl najít muže, který by se mi učit jazyk. Bylo by horko, aby člověk mi v němčině způsoby chce, abych ho potěšit. S gay německý skinhead Master / Manžel by mi velkou radost, zvláště pokud bychom mohli mluvit jinými jazyky dohromady. Chtěl bych udělat velmi dobrý pisoár. Zmínil jsem se o tom, jak moc mi německý jazyk zapne. Byl bych velmi poslušný. Neřekl bych, že ne s mužem ve střední a východní Evropě, který by se mnou trpělivost, když jsem se naučit mluvit jeho jazykem a jak se s ním naprosto potěšit. Chci muže potěšit.

Jaz bi vsekakor rad, da preživijo čas v Nemčiji. To bi bilo super, če bi lahko našli človeka tam, ki bi me naučil jezika. To bi bilo vroče, da imajo moški, povej mi v nemščini, kako me želi, da ga prosim. Ob gay nemško skinhead Master / Mož bi me zelo veseli, še posebej, če bi lahko skupaj govorijo druge jezike. Jaz bi zelo dobro pisoar. Omenil sem, koliko mi je nemški jezik vklopi. Jaz bi bil zelo priden. Jaz ne bi rekel ne, da človek v Srednji in Vzhodni Evropi, ki bi bili potrpežljivi z mano, ko sem se naučijo govoriti svoj jezik in kako ga popolnoma zadovoljiti. Želim človek, prosim.

Я безумовно люблю б провести час у Німеччині. Було б здорово, якби я міг знайти там людини, яка могла б навчити мене язик. Було б жарко, щоб мати людина сказати мені по-німецьки шляху він хоче, щоб я йому догодити. Маючи гей німецький скінхед Master / чоловік робить мене дуже щасливим, особливо якщо ми могли б говорити іншими мовами разом. Я хотів би зробити дуже хороший пісуар. Я вже згадував, скільки німецьку мову мене заводить. Я був би дуже слухняним. Я б не сказав, не для людини в Центральній та Східній Європі, які б терплячий зі мною, як я навчитися говорити його мовою і, як повністю догодити йому. Я хочу чоловік догодити.

More on the Scents of a Man

There are jokes that say that if men were like dogs they would greet each other by smelling each other's butts. Actually this would be fun. I have talked before how I enjoy the scents of a man's body. This includes the scent of his ass as long as it is not too dirty. I would not go up to random guys and sniff their butts, but it would be fun to be at a fetish party where everybody is naked and sniff the holes of other men - and anything else they would let me sniff. The unwashed underwear worn a few times by a man has a very erotic smell. I would prefer smelling the things that had been in the underwear. Wearing the underwear that had been worn by another man can be very erotic too. I think about having my cock, balls and ass where his had been. A mild scent of a man's pits and feet is very sexy too. It is unfortunate that we are often taught that these odors are bad. I do not know if I were in a relationship with a man how strong I would want the scent to be. My reaction to a man's scents is affected to how I feel about the man. I know that with someone I do not know very well I do not want to smell strong body odors. Sniffing and licking a man's ass and feet and pits puts me in a submissive position, and that is something I enjoy. I would enjoy licking the boots of a man, but the real pleasure would come from taking them off of him and taking care of his feet. My tongue is useful for more than speaking languages and speaking English with a corrupted accent.

Yo Soy Yo y Mi Circunstancia

One of the things from Spanish literature that made an impression on me was José Ortega y Gasset's statement "Yo soy yo y mi curcunstancia." This helps me to understand somewhat how I am the way I am. We are a combination of ourselves and our upbringing. Sometimes it seems like my sisters and I grew up in different families. This was in a small house. I have talked with the sister with who I am living concerning our childhood and our relationships with our parents. She commented that it was like we had different parents. They treated both of us differently. We were also very different from each other even in childhood. She was the more rebellious one then. Now she is the more conservative one. All three of my sisters share some character traits. We were all three afraid of getting fat when we were growing, and we have continued to struggle with this. I was overly protected when I was growing up, and I was not allowed to work during the school year or during summer vacation. My sisters were encouraged to work, part-time jobs during the school year and jobs during the summer. My mother and sisters always mowed the grass, because my mother did not want my allergies to be bothered. I always felt that our father loved us but was not very good at showing his love. He was always excited to give us gifts to us and worried about us when he did not know where we were. My sister said that she never felt loved by him. My younger sisters were more popular in school than I was. I was bullied frequently. I was smaller than the other children my age, and I was never shy about liking things that no one else liked. I think that my personality and the environment at home and at school together formed who I am today. There were people at college and years since who have helped form who I am. That statement by Ortega y Gasset is one of the cores of my personal philosophy.

Stranger in a Really Strange Land

I never fit in in ny hometown, and it seems like I fit in less than I did when I was growing up. I got rid of my Southern accent long ago. I did ths, not because I was ashamed of being Southern, maybe partly, but because I did not want that accent to affect how I spoke languages other than English. I once spoke with a heavy Southern accent when I was very young, but I remember my sisters laughing about it. After living away from this town my vocabulary has changed. At times it seems as if I were speaking a different language from the English speaking people around me. Even before I left this town for college people would ask what country I was from. Sometimes when people here speak to me I do not immediately understand them, and it is not always easy to make myself understood. This is true even in my own family. This does not make communication easy. I will be happy when I can get away from here.

I Am Who I AM

I put too much effort into trying to figure out why I am the way I am instead of just enjoying being the way I am. I cannot change who I am to please the people around ,me. I am the only one with whom I have spend all of my time. I sometimes still have a tendency to worry that I will lose friends because of the things that I write here. Then I remember that if they are true friends they will accept me the way I am. I know that I am not the only one who thinks of religion, politics, sexuality, multiculturalism and other things the way I do. I wish that faith was easier for me, but it isn't. I am always questioning. I still have a lot of questions to explore about the Bible and the faith in which I was raised. I believe that we have reasoning brains for a reason. I have never felt comfortable with the idea of converting other people to any religion. I see nothing wrong with sharing one's beliefs, but this needs to be done in a considerate way. To me there is something fucked up about thinking, "You have to believe as I do or you're going to hell." In the realm of politics I lean very much to the left. The best way to define my political view would be democratic socialism. All people should have an equal voice in the electoral process. All people should have access to healthcare and education. No one religion or any ethnic group should have more power than any other. I do not think that having a socialistic government should interfere with the rights of the people as long as all people have a say in who represents them in the government. I have more to say about this as well. My views on my own sexuality is not set. I am definitely gay, but I do not know how kinky I am willing to be. I am definitely submissive. I am loving and caring. I think that what one does sexually is not the business of anybody besides the person and the person or persons with whom they have sexual relations. I believe sex should always be consensual and never exploitative. I have spoken about my views on multiculturalism and will do so again. The things I enjoy may not popular in this country, but it does comfort me to know that there are people in other parts of the world who share my tastes. I have more to say about these things, but it is time to get ready for work.

I Need to Manage my Time and Money Better

I need to manage my time and money better. I tend to focus too much on what makes me feel better short term instead of what I need to do to get out of my current situation. I make excuses that I do not make enough money to be able to save any. I need to put off some purchases and save that money. I do enjoy the things I have bought, but I am not improving my life or the life of anyone else. I also need to manage my time on my days off better. I sleep too late on those days. I need to use that time in studying languages and learning about other countries. I also need to work on writing. I also need to communicate more with friends. I am good at making excuses for not doing the things that I need to do. I need to stop making excuses and do the things I need to do. I also need to figure out what I really want to do with my life and what I really can do. I would like to be able to travel to other countries, but that is not going to happen unless I make changes. I may need the help of other people, but I first have to help myself. I do have the capacity for learning languages. I need to get rid of any insecurities I have about that and just do it. Nie som hlúpy.

More on Stereotypes

When we realize that we believe stereotypes concerning groups of people beating ourselves up about it does no good. We need to realize that these stereotypes are not true. We have to confront them and get rid of them. It does no good to ignore them. I know that stereotypes about gay men are not believed by only homophobic people. Once I went into a gay bar with some friends, and I met the owner of the bar. At the time I was using my middle name, Bruce. When were introduced he said, "Bruce, what a gay name? Are you a hairdresser or an interior decorator?" My first impulse was to want to punch him in the face. He himself was a gay man, and he believed the stereotypes about gay men. Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to counteract things that we grew up being taught. Sometimes the way we are taught stereotypes is very subtle and not intended. The key to combating stereutypes in ourselves and others is through education. Whenever I hear someone generalizing about groups of people I like to point out examples that show that stereotypes are not true. Just like I cannot pull a splinter out of my finger without seeing it I cannot rid myself of prejudicial views without first admitting it is there and needs to be gotten rid of.

3 Crashes

The three "Crashes" of the title of this post refer to the novel Crash published in 1973, the film "Crash" directed by David Cronenberg in 1996 and the film "Crash" directed by Paul Haggis in 2003.

I wrote about the Cronenberg film in a previous post. I just finished reading the novel yesterday. That film is based on the novel. It does follow the basic idea of the books, but there are some differences. The novel starts off with the death of Vaughan then goes back in time. In the film Vaughan is involved in the reenactment of famous automobile accidents in which celebrities died. In the book he does show a fascination with these deaths, but he does not reenact them. When I was watching the film the death of Albert Camus came to my mind, and his death is mentioned in the book but not the movie. It the film and novel, James Ballard is involved in an accident in which a man dies. In the movie he is looking at a screenplay and loses control of his car, but in the novel there is not an explanation of his loss of control, but after the loss of control he loses a tire. Watching the film I wondered thy there had not been an investigation of the crash. In the novel there is an investigation, and the cause of the crash is judged to be accidental. In both the film and the novel there is a sexual tension between Vaughan and Ballard, and in both they do have a sexual encounter. Vaughan's penis is mentioned frequently in the book. In the novel Vaughan is planning a crash with Elizabeth Taylor in which she would die. In the movie this seems to be transformed into a planned reenactment of the death of Jayne Mansfield. In the film the relationship between Dr. Helen Remington and Ballard is closer than the relationship they have in the novel. In both they have sex multiple times, but in the novel her reaction to the death of her husband is stronger. The sex in the novel seems to be more impersonal than in the film. The film takes place in Canada, and the novel takes place in London. The simplest explanation for this would be that the movie was filmed in Canada. I can understand why some of these changes were made in the film. I find both to be very erotic. The tie between car crashes and scars in both is very erotic in theory, but I do not want to experience that eroticization in reality.

I watched the 2004 film directed by Paul Haggis earlier today. It deals with race relations in LA between various ethnic groups. It is a very strong and moving movie. I found myself in tears several times while watching it. It is not an easy film to watch, but it definitely is worthwhile. There are very strong performances from the cast. The characters are multidimensional. There is none who is completely good or bad. All of the characters reveal some form of racism. This is where the film is most realistic. We may try to deny it, but we are all influenced to some degree by stereotypes. The important thing is to recognize when we are being influenced by these ideas and to remember that these stereotypes are not true. I highly recommend watching this film. I will write more about it later.

Беларусь: Іншая краіна Я хацеў бы наведаць і даведацца больш пра.

I was reminded of another country I want to know more about, Belarus. I have a friend on Facebook from there, but I have not heard from him in a long time. I am embarrassed at how little I know about this country. I remember it being mentioned in history classes. It is in the part of the world in which I would like to spend a lot of time, and its language is one I would like to know more about. I am glad that someone from Belarus looked at my blog and reminded me. I will have to start doing some research. I know that I cannot possibly learn all of the languages that i want to learn, but I can learn as much as possible. At least it will keep my brain active. Well it will be more active after I get some sleep. I would write more tonight, but it would be more idiotic than my usual rambling. (That's a joke from a sleepy brain, not meant to be taken seriously. I do ramble though.)

Я ўспомніў іншай краіны, я хачу, каб даведацца больш пра, Беларусь. У мяне ёсць адзін на Facebook адтуль, але я не чуў ад яго на працягу доўгага часу. Мяне бянтэжыць, як мала я ведаю пра гэтую краіну. Я памятаю, што згадваецца ў ўроках гісторыі. Гэта ў частцы свету, у якім я хацеў бы выдаткаваць шмат часу, і яго мова з'яўляецца адным я хацеў бы ведаць больш. Я рады, што хто-небудзь з Беларусі паглядзеў на маім блогу, і нагадаў мне. Мне давядзецца пачаць рабіць некаторыя даследаванні. Я ведаю, што я не магу даведацца ўсе мовы, я хачу навучыцца, але я магу даведацца як мага больш. Па меншай меры, ён будзе трымаць мой мозг актыўным. Ну, гэта будзе больш актыўным пасля таго як я крыху паспаць. Я хацеў бы напісаць больш сёння ўвечары, але было б больш ідыёцкае, чым мой звычайны няпэўных. (Гэта жарт з соннага мозгу, не азначае, якія павінны быць прыняты сур'езна. Я раблю блукаць, хоць.)

I Want to Be Immersed In Various Cultures

I want to be able to learn about the languages and cultures of different countries from inside the countries. I do not want to do this as an outsider learning about something "other" in the manner of an anthropologist or a tourist, but to be able to be immersed in the languages and cultures. Like a piece of cloth immersed in dye I want to be transformed by what I learned. I want the languages and cultures to become part of what I am. Perhaps they are already part of who I am and just need to be brought to the surface. Sometimes I find that the way of doing things in other places seems more natural to me than the way I grew up doing them. For instance the gesture used in counting with one's fingers differs in various countries. In the U.S. and some other countries one starts with the index finger, but in some other countries one starts with the thumb. I grew up doing the former, but the latter is more comfortable and feels more natural to me. It is not a question of one being superior to the other. It is simply what feels more natural to me. Sometimes when speaking in English I have to think about whether or not the syntax I am about to use is the correct English way of saying things. I know that I do not yet know much about Slavic languages, but there are things about the syntax of those languages that seems to me more natural to me than English syntax. I do not know why this is the case. I only know that it is the way that it is. Sometimes in English I have to stop and think about whether or not I need to use a definite or indefinite article. Learning other languages is not about learning something and having it remain apart from who I am. In learning different languages they become part of who I am, or perhaps they were inside me waiting to be brought to the surface. In the way that when an archaeologist digs something up. It was there before being revealed. I want to learn about other countries not from a feeling of being better or less than them but from a feeling of having a hole in me that needs to be filled.

Workers Are the Backbone of this Country not the Rich

I live in a "right to work" state. One of the things that this means is that an employer can fire an employee for any reason. For that reason I was discouraged from applying for a job where someone I knew was the manager. He said that the owner of the business would fire me, because I did not act American enough. I have never known exactly that meant. This was long ago, but these laws are in place in many states. This needs to change, because wages in these states are lower than they are in those without these laws.

There are rich conservatives who want to abolish the minimum wage. They claim that this will bring more jobs. That's bullshit. The only things it would bring is more poverty. more people filing for bankruptcy, more exploitation of workers and an increase in the gap between the rich and poor. The middle class in this country is shrinking. If the Tea Party had its way there would be a large number of people homeless and without health insurance. They want to end government programs that help those in need, they want to repeal the Affordable Care Act, they want to eliminate the minimum wage or keep it from being raised, they want to give tax breaks to the very wealthy and corporations, etc. They want to make this a nation for the rich. It is time for a change. We need to have an increase in the minimum wage, and the rich and corporations need to pay their fair share of taxes. We need to start coming rougher, (a nod to Gogol Bordello) not just immigrants but those who want to see a change in this country.

Echte Kerle

"Echte Kerle" is another of my favorite films. It was made in 1996. Christoph M. Ohrt played played a cop. His fiancee has thrown him out. He goes out and gets drunk. He wakes up the next morning in bed with another man. They are both naked. The cop is described as macho on the DVD case, but he does not seem macho to me. The guy in whose bed he wakes up is a car mechanic who has connections with car theft. Christoph and his partner start working with a female colleague. There have been untrue rumors spread about her. She has impressive credentials, but sexism is reflected in these rumors. This is a funny and thoughtful film. Edgar, the mechanic, is not a very good housekeeper. Christoph, who ends up staying in his guest room, is very neat. Edgar says that Christoph is like a mouse, and Christoph seems to accept that. He comes to speak of himself as a mouse. Stereotypes are played with in this movie. It seems that in the past Christoph had made anti-gay jokes. He is not sure what his sexual orientation is. Rumors start to spread about Christoph and Edgar. In the end two relationships start, one between a man and a woman and one between two men. There are moments in "Echte Kerle"that make me laugh out loud, moments that touch my heart and moments that make me think. It reminds me that I should make assumptions about other people based on how they look or how they seem to act. We should accept other people as they are and not jump to conclusions about who they are based on outward appearance. Things are not always as clear as they seem.

I have seen photos of Christoph M. Ohrt and Tim Bergmann (He played Edgar.) taken more recently. They were handsome when they made this movie, but they have become better looking with the passing of time.

"Echte Kerle" is a film that I recommend.

Запрещен в (вставить название страны здесь) -Banned in (insert name of country here)

Long ago I had a double album on vinyl by four Russian rock bands whose music was not banned in the Soviet Union. I do not remember the title of the album or the names of the bands. I remember that Andy Warhol was mentioned as being involved in the project. The bands were facing the possibility of arrest recording the music on these records. One of the songs had the line "Рок aнд ролл мертв." I remember they sang that, not "Рок-н-ролл мертв" which is how Google translates the phrase "Rock-n-Roll is dead." It was some great music. I wish could find some music that is popular in Russia now as well as music from Ukraine and some other countries. A friend introduced me to some Czech music from a group of musicians called "Stromboli." He said that when the music was recorded good recording equipment was not legal in what was then Czechoslovakia. I cannot remember the names of most of the musicians, but I do remember that Bára Basiková did vocals. I have one CD by Plastic People of the Universe. I want to get more of their music. When I was in Prague I could not afford their CD's. I could afford other CD's by other Czech musicians, but their CD's were as expensive as imports. I am glad I have been to get one of their CD's though.

People say that their is freedom of speech in the United States. This has not always been true. Lenny Bruce spent time in jail for obscenity because of language he used in his stand-up routines. It does not make sense to me that there are people who do not want children to hear the word "fuck," but they buy their children rifles designed for them. Yes, there have been rifles designed for children, pink for girls and blue for boys. Children have been killed by these guns. No one has died from hearing somebody say "fuck."

Давным-давно у меня был двойной альбом на виниле четыре российских рок-групп, чья музыка не была запрещена в Советском Союзе. Я не помню название альбома или названия групп. Я помню, что Энди Уорхол был упомянут как в участии в проекте. Полосы сталкивается с возможностью ареста записи музыки на этих записях. Одна из песен была линию "Рок aнд ролл мертв." Я помню, что они пели, что не "Рок-н-ролл мертв", который, как Google переводит фразу "Рок-н-ролл мертв." Это был какой-отличная музыка. Я хочу мог найти музыку, которая пользуется популярностью в России сейчас, а также музыку из Украины и некоторых других стран. Друг познакомил меня с какой-то чешской музыки от группы музыкантов под названием "Стромболи". Он сказал, что когда музыка была записана хорошее оборудование запись не была законной в тогдашней Чехословакии. Я не могу вспомнить имена большинства из музыкантов, но я помню, что Bára Basiková сделал вокал. У меня есть один компакт-диск Plastic People Вселенной. Я хочу, чтобы получить больше их музыки. Когда я был в Праге я не мог позволить себе их диски. Я мог позволить себе другие компакт-диски и другие чешские музыканты, но их компакт-дисков были так дорого, как импорт. Я рад, что я был получить один из хотя их компакт-диска.
Люди говорят, что их свобода слова в Соединенных Штатах. Это не всегда было так. Ленни Брюс провел время в тюрьме за непристойности из-за языка, который он использовал в своих стоячим рутины. Это не имеет смысла для меня, что есть люди, которые не хотят детей, чтобы услышать слово "Fuck", но они покупают своим детям винтовки, предназначенные для них. Да, там были винтовки, предназначенные для детей, розовый для девочек и синий для мальчиков. Дети были убиты этих орудий. Никто не умер от слушания кто-то говорит "fuck".

Assjack: Another Post about Hank III

Hank Williams is one of the most under-rated musicians performing today. I have one of the CD's he recorded under the name Assjack. He wrote all of the songs, played all of the instruments and produced it. I have heard that he puts on a good live show playing country music and more hardcore music. I prefer his rowdier music. I have not heard anything by him that I do not like. At times when he is doing his country songs he sounds like his grandfather. I would prefer listening to anything they play on country music stations today or on most radio stations. I can hear the influence of G.G. Allin in some of his music. Maybe some day I will have a complete Hank III collection. I am working on it.

Dziś jest piątek znowu. (Сегодня пятница снова.)

I am starting another day of not putting up with bullshit. I am going to do the best that I can with all tasks that I have to do. I am going to keep my head up. I won't get my cock up until later. I will exercise my body and imagination. I will not let anything bring me down. If I slip I will get back up again. If I get down I will remind myself of what I wrote. I will treat others with respect, but I will not let anyone make me feel bad. I cannot control the actions of others, but I can control how I react to them. I will stand up for myself and others when necessary. I will remain true to who I am and what I believe. I will keep my mind and body flexible. I will not hide who I am. I will remember that I am worthy of love and respect, and I will remember that this is true of those with whom I interact. I will respect the rights of others to be who they are. I may not like everything I have to do today, but this is going to be a good day.

Zaczynam kolejny dzień nie oddanie się bzdury. Mam zamiar zrobić to najlepiej, że mogę się wszystkie zadania, które mam do zrobienia. Mam zamiar utrzymać głowę w górę. I nie dostaniesz mojego fiuta aż do później. Będę wykonywać moje ciało i wyobraźnię. Nie pozwolę, żeby coś mnie poniżyć. Gdybym poślizgu będę się z powrotem w górę. Jeśli dostanę się będę przypomnieć sobie to, co napisałem. Będę traktować innych z szacunkiem, ale nie pozwolę, by ktokolwiek mnie źle. Nie mogę kontrolować działania innych, ale można kontrolować w jaki sposób reagować. Będę walczyć o siebie i innych, gdy jest to konieczne. Pozostanę wierny, kim jestem i co ja wierzę. Postaram się, żeby mój umysł i ciało elastyczne. Nie będę ukrywać, kim jestem. Ja pamiętam, że jestem godny miłości i szacunku, a ja pamiętam, że to prawda z tymi, z którymi współdziałają. Będę szanować prawa innych, aby być tym, kim oni są. Ja nie lubić wszystko, co mam do zrobienia dzisiaj, ale to będzie dobry dzień.

Я начинаю другой день не мирятся с ерунды. Я собираюсь сделать лучшее, что я могу со всеми задачами, которые я должен сделать. Я буду держать голову вверх. Я не получу петух позже. Буду выполнять мое тело и воображение. Я не позволю ничего принеси мне. Если я сойду я вернусь снова до. Если я спускаюсь я напоминаю себе, что я написал. Я буду относиться к другим с уважением, но я не позволю никому заставить меня чувствовать себя плохо. Я не могу контролировать действия других, но я могу контролировать то, как я реагирую на них. Я буду стоять за себя и других, когда это необходимо. Я останусь верен, кто я и что я верю. Я буду держать свой ум и тело гибким. Не буду скрывать, кто я. Я буду помнить, что я достоин любви и уважения, и я буду помнить, что это относится и к тем, с кем я общаюсь. Я буду уважать права других, чтобы быть тем, кто они есть. Я не такой как все, я должен сделать сегодня, но это будет хороший день.

Hank Williams III - "Take as Needed for Pain"

"Take as Needed for Pain" is one of Hank III's more eclectic CD's. It has punk, metal and songs that blend country and metal. The title song is a cover of a song by Eyehategod from their album with the same title. The opening song, "Get Outta My Life" was recorded with Rebel Meets Rebel and David Allan Coe. (Actually according to Wikipedia, Rebel Meets Rebel is David Alan with members of Pantera.) Hank III wrote three of the eight songs on the CD. It does not give instrument credits on the CD. It is possible that he played all of them aside from the first song. He does play multiple instruments in different genres. Only three of the songs give production credits, two of those were produced by Hank III and the other by Dave Sardy. "No Values," written by Gregory Ginn," reminds me of the Dead Kennedys, especially the vocals. The CD was just released this week, and I pre-ordered it through Amazon. It is a fun CD. I just wish it was longer.

American Companies Tend to Sabotage Productivity

It seems that in places where I have worked the companies did everything that studies have shown to lower production from their workers. It seems like they forget that their workers are people. There is too much focus on disciplining instead of encouraging. When I do a job I do the best job that I can, but this usually does not seem to be appreciated. Whenever I make a mistake or my supervisor think that I made a mistake that was made my supervisor jumps on that immediately. This makes me nervous. Policies are often arbitrarily applied. What is considered a grave error for one person is considered all right for someone else. I am speaking of workers at the same level who should both be following the same procedures. Many companies underpay and overwork their workers. Low pay affects the workers in at least two ways. It can make them feel that their work is not worth very much. It can also lead to stress about money matters. This has a detrimental effect on their work. Workers who are overworked are more likely to have accidents and make mistakes. This is bad for the workers, and it costs the companies in lost-time accidents and in loss of materials. Workers are often not given all of the information that they need to get their jobs done. If they ask for this information they are often treated with irritation. I have worked with supervisors who speak rudely to those working under them. This bad attitude often is reflected in the attitudes of workers towards each other. This causes a hostile work environment. Workers who are happy are more productive. In the long run it would cost companies less to pay their employees more, work them less, show appreciation for good work and encourage them to find the best way to do their jobs. Emphasis should be put on encouraging good work instead of punishing mistakes.

Slovenský hokejový dres

My Slovak hockey jersey arrived in the mail today. It got here faster than I thought it would. It is a duplicate of a jersey worn by Andrej Meszáros. Now the only jersey I am still waiting for is a Russian Constellation jersey. It was shipped from Russia, and is being held up somewhere in the U.S. I do not what is causing the delay.

Here are photos of the Slovak Jersey. One shoes my silly grin again.

Môj slovenský hokej dres prišiel v e-maile dnes. To sa sem dostali rýchlejšie, než som si myslel, že to bude. Jedná sa o duplicitné drese nosí Andrej Meszároš. Teraz jediný dres Stále čakám na je ruský Súhvezdí dres. To bol poslaný z Ruska, a je zadržiavaný niekde v USA, nemám, čo je príčinou oneskorenia.

Tu sú fotky slovenských Jersey. Jeden topánky môj prihlúply úsmev znova.

Musings on Not Fitting Into Mainstream American Culture

Sometimes I forget that that not everybody is familiar with some of my favorite music. I don't listen to the radio, so I am not in touch with what is popular here. I have other sources of musical tastes. When reading about Rammstein I learned about Laibach, and through Laibach I learned about Einstürzende Neubauten. I heard about Orlík from a friend, and from the title of one of their songs I heard about Tři Sestry. It may have been a cover of one of their songs, "Skinhead (Tři Sestry). From the same friend I learned about Buty, Richard Müller, Dežo Ursiny, Petr Lipa, This Is Kevin, Bára Basiková, Michal Pavlíček and others. I do not remember how I found out about the music of Gogol Bordello, maybe from Amazon. My musical taste would not be considered obscure in some countries. I start to talk about music or films that I enjoy and realize that I would probably have to explain what I am talking about. I have a tendency to forget things that most people take for granted. Sometimes I forget that people still watch TV and listen to the radio. I usually watch DVD's and videos online and listen to CD's and Pandora Radio. I might not feel as much like an outsider in another country. I would still be different from everybody else, but I would feel more at home.

Jerseys on eBay and musing on flexibility of thought

There is a German jersey I am watching on eBay as well as a Hungarian one. I need to be more careful about my spending. I need to try and save some money. It is like an addiction for me. I cannot find happiness in things. I can only find happiness within myself. That is not to say that I do not get some enjoyment from the jerseys that I have bought. It does bring a feeling of connection to the countries represented by them.

I sometimes forget that other people are not as flexible in their thinking as I am. I was trying to talk to someone about American football and what most of the world calls football, or what we in the U.S. call soccer. I mentioned that soccer is a term that originated in England. To me it is more logical to speak of soccer as football. I do not know how American football came to be called football. I know I could look it up online, maybe I will do that later. Anyway, many people only see things from the point of view of the culture in which they were raised. My brain no longer works that way. I do admit that I sometimes have difficulty seeing things from the point of view of the culture I grew up. There are things that I liked as a child that seem foreign to me now. Sometimes when I speak in English with the people in my hometown it seems like we are speaking different languages. It is not a question of good and bad. It is only a question of being different. My perspective has become more international. I am not better or worse than anyone else. I am just me, and I am happy with that.

Український хокей Джерсі і бразильський футбол Джерсі

Saturday my Brazilian soccer jersey came in the mail, and today my Ukrainian hockey jersey arrived. Both were personalized. I chose the name and number for the Brazilian jersey from a roster of Brazilian players. I had my first name put on the back of the Ukrainian Jersey along with the number 23. I chose that number for two reasons. The first is I was born on 23 June, and I have a friend born on 23 May as well as a friend born on 23 November. The second is a reference to the film "The Number 23" with Jim Carrey. Here it is meant as an ironic reference to those fascinated with the number 23 and see a special property to that number. I had my first name put on the back, because it could be transliterated with no letters being left out. I also wanted to make this jersey more personal for myself to reflect who I am.

Here are photos:

This is on the inside of the jersey.

My jersey collection is expanding.

Daniel Landa: 9mm argumentů (redacted)

I am listening to Daniel Landa's CD "9mm argumentů." I had listenened to it on YouTube, but it sounds better on CD. The lyrics are included, so I can follow them while listening to the songs. I was happy when I got home and the CD had arrived from the Czech Republic. Before listening to the CD I had been on hold for a long time, and I as irritated. As soon as I put the CD in my computer and started listening to it my mood was greatly improved. I love the music, the musicians playing are great. I cannot comment on the lyrics. My Czech needs a lot of work. I like Daniel Landa's voice. I wish his music was easier to find in the U.S.

The CD opens with Spanish-influenced guitar playing. In that song the word "Arriba" is heard being shouted. That song, "Quantum Tarantuli," is definitely a fun, sort of  Latin-american music with a Czech twist. In the second song, "Kdyby," there are references to Einstein and Rammstein. Along with Daliel Landa's voice. I really enjoy the guitars and piano on this CD. I am not sure what Daniel Landa's political views are, but I am a fan of his music.

Starting off the Day with Cuban Jazz

I am listening to the jazz from "I Am Time." This is a good way to wake up. I would like to hear more from some of the musicians represented here. "Sobre un canto a Eleggua" by Grupo Afro-Cuba is an example of one of the kinds of music I enjoy a lot. It has a improvisatory sound and combines different styles of music. From the name of the band you can guess what two of those styles are. There is freestyle jazz thrown in. I wish I could listen to these CD's at work. They would definitely help the day to go by faster.

I switched to the first disc, "Cuban Invocations." The first song "El sinsonte" by Pancho Quinto y su Grupo Añag is strongly African in sound. It starts with an African chant. I wish I could be more specific about which part of Africa. The sound of African percussion is something I enjoy very much. Cuban music and American music have origins in that sound. "La voz del Congo" by Clave y Guaguancó is another song I like very much.

My sister plays a country radio station in her car, so that is what I hear before I get to work. Sometimes the last song I hear gets stuck in my mind. Unfortunately often this is one of the worse songs from that station. If all of the country music one heard was what they played on this station one could come to the conclusion that what makes country music country music is that it is sung by in a Southern accent by someone who really does not sing very well. Fortunately at work I have been able to switch my mental radio station to Gogol Bordello. That does help my mood.

"I Am Time" (Collection of Cuban Music)

I have been listening to "I Am Time." It is a collection of Cuban music. There are four CD's, "Cuban Invocations," "Cantar en Cuba," "Bailar con Cuba" and "Cubano Jazz." These discs reflect the richness of Cuban culture. In school one of my professors was from Cuba. He had been a lawyer for Fidel Castro until 1959 when he realized what Castro had in mind for the country. He sparked a love for Cuban culture in me. He would have parties for the students in his classes from time to time. I prefer the music here that is shows an African influence. I prefer the music on the first two discs. The music on these discs has a freer feel. I am not especially fond of dance music that has a rhythm that is too strong and regular. The dance music on "Bailar con Cuba" is among some of my favorite  Latin dance music. The beat is not as regular as that in Cumbias and some other forms of Latin dance music. I do not think that I could dance appropriately to this music, but it does make me want to move. I prefer the pieces that are more improvisatory in nature. In the booklet with the CD's there is a photo of an ass's jawbone that was used as a musical instrument. I would like to know how the jawbone of a donkey could be used as a musical instrument. It is literally the jawbone from a donkey. These discs cover a long span of time. There is music from some of the classic performers of Cuba. Juan Formell y Los Van Van and Sintesis for example. I am not saying that I do not like the dance and jazz Cd's. All of the music on these discs is awesome. "Mambo," by Mario Bauza, is great. I will write more on this music and the music of "Buena Vista Music Club" later.

Music from Buena Vista Social Club

"Buena Vista Social Club" is a documentary about some awesome musicians in Cuba. It was directed by Wim Wenders. The soundtrack was produced by Ry Cooder. The musicians, considered giants of Cuban music, performed very popular concerts at Carnegie Hall. Soon I will get another copy of the DVD. When the music was recorded the musicians were in their 70's and 80's. Hearing them perform you would never think that this was the case. The music is ageless. There are also related CD's from the musicians performing here. The talent of these musicians is amazing. I do not know how anyone could be unmoved by their music. To get these musicians to perform together was a milestone in music.

I also have a 4-CD collection of Cuban music. It is called "I am Time." I will write about that when I listen to it again soon.

Balkan Beat Box

Balkan Beat Box is another music group whose music I enjoy. Their music combines several genres including Klezmer and gypsy punk. Of course their music has a Balkan influence. Their music makes me want to move. One of the members of the band. Not only are they great musicians they are sexy. One of the things that appeals to me about their music is it does not have a regular 3/4 or 4/4 beat. Their music lends itself to improvisatory dance. It would be fun to see them perform live. I could easily lose myself in their music and forget everybody around me. My favorite song on the disc to which I am listening is entitled "Meboli." It features Vlada Tomova. It has an infectious beat and great sound.

People tend to want to label music, and they only like certain genres. This is true for many things too. I do not want to limit myself to certain genres. I sometimes have to remind myself not to do this. If we refuse to listen to certain kinds of music or read certain genres of books or watch some genres of film we might miss out on something that we really enjoy. I try to enjoy new experiences and try not to say never. There are limits to this. I do not plan on doing hardcore drugs, hurting  or killing other people or animals or having sex with a woman. I am not equating these things. I am just saying that I do not plan on doing them.

Getting More Respect at Work

People at my workplace are learning that I am willing to help other people as long as they treat me with respect. I treat other people with respect, and I expect the same in return. At first there were some people who tried to boss me around. These were people who were not in supervisory positions. That does not mean that I think that supervisors should be disrespectful. A bad attitude from them can be reflected in the attitude of the workers. Sometimes I do say no to someone who politely asks me to do something that they could easily do for themselves, This is especially true if I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. I do not tolerate someone talking to me hatefully. Those who do that definitely do not get any help from me, and I let them know why this is the case. I always believe in doing the best job that I can. If I need help I ask my supervisor to have someone help. I try to do this politely, but sometimes this is hard to do when I am tired and feel overwhelmed. I have been working long hours, and this is taking a toll on me. People are learning that I am a dependable worker, but I am not going to take shit from anybody.

Краткие размышления о русского языка

I stood in front of a bookstore in Prague. The signs on the front of the store were in several languages. I started to read the Russian without realizing it. I started to have difficulty, and I could not understand why. Then I noticed what I had been doing. I would like to be able to speak and read Russian without difficulty, but I did enjoy that moment. There were some strange things about how we were taught Russian in school. We were taught how to pronounce the letters in the Cyrillic alphabet but not what to call them. We did not learn how to recite the alphabet. We did not learn the order in which the letters came in the alphabet. We learned to count один два три четыре but no further. We learned how to write in script. My handwriting in the Latin alphabet has never been as good, and it was not much better with the Cyrillic alphabet. Maybe I can try to get some practice with both. Once I watched a Spanish film with Russian subtitles (The DVD has subtitles in Russian and Hebrew, so I chose Russian.), and that night I had a dream in which I was spelling Spanish with the Cyrillic alphabet.

I woke up in a good mood this morning, and listening to Gogol Bordello is improving it. I am also wearing my lucky Soviet hockey jersey. It has the name of the great goalie, Третьяк, on the back. The Cd I am listening to has some of my favorites, "Immigrant Punk," "Think Locally Fuck Globally," "Dogs Were Barking" and "Start Wearing Purple."

There are things in my life I cannot change right now, but I can still enjoy being who I am and not putting up with shit.

Я стоял перед книжном магазине в Праге. Знаки на передней части магазина были на нескольких языках. Я начал читать по-русски, не осознавая этого. Я начал испытывать трудности, и я не мог понять, почему. Потом я заметил, что я делал. Я хотел бы быть в состоянии говорить и читать по-русски без труда, но я действительно наслаждался этот момент. Были некоторые странные вещи о том, как нас учили русский в школе. Нас учили, как произносить буквы в кириллице, но не то, что назвать их. Мы не научиться читать алфавит. Мы не узнать порядок, в котором приходили письма в алфавите. Мы научились считать один два три четыре, но не более. Мы научились писать в скрипте. Мой почерк латинского алфавита никогда не было так хорошо, и это не было намного лучше с кириллицы. Может быть, я могу попытаться получить некоторую практику с обоими. После того, как я наблюдал испанский фильм с русскими субтитрами (DVD имеет субтитры на русском языке и на иврите, поэтому я выбрал русский.), И в ту ночь мне приснился сон, в котором я был правописания испанский язык с кириллицы.

Я проснулся в хорошем настроении сегодня утром, и, слушая Gogol Bordello улучшается его. Я также носить мою счастливую советскую хоккей Джерси. Он имеет имя великого вратаря, Третьяк, на спине. Cd Я слушаю имеет некоторые из моих фаворитов, "Иммигрант Punk", "Подумайте локально Черт всем мире", "Собаки лаяли" и "начать носить фиолетовый." ("Immigrant Punk," "Think Locally Fuck Globally," "Dogs Were Barking" and "Start Wearing Purple.")

Есть вещи в моей жизни я не могу изменить прямо сейчас, но я все равно можете наслаждаться будучи тем, кто я есть, и не мирятся с дерьмом.

A Kinky FWB

There was a guy I have seen a couple of times. We met when I was leaving a grocery store. He asked if I was looking for a friend. I knew he was not really interested in friendship. I said that I was. We talked some and exchanged phone numbers. The subject of me sucking his cock came up. He texted me and said he knew a place where we could meet. I did suck his cock for awhile, but he was not able to cum. I told him that I would be glad to drink his pee, but he couldn't pee that night. A few weeks later he contacted me. We met, and he said that he really had to pee, so we found a secluded spot. He pulled his cock put. I got on my knees and took it into my mouth. He did have to pee a lot, and I swallowed every drop. Again he was not able to cum. He was nervous again about me sucking him outside. I could not get comfortable on the concrete. I need knee pads. He called one time since then, but it was late, and I was trying to sleep. I would like to hear from him again and get more of his pee and get some of his cum. I would love to rim him too. He seemed interested in that and getting kinky.

Build Bridges Not Walls

Life would be more fun if we built bridges to reach each other instead of walls to separate us. It would be more enjoyable if we celebrated our common humanity instead of letting differences keep us from getting to know each other. If we got to know people from different countries and with different beliefs we would see that we have more similarities than differences. If we we let everybody love whoever they love and celebrate that love we will see that there is no difference. The mechanics of the sex may be different, but the love itself is still the same. If instead of spending time worrying what other people are doing in their own bedrooms (or wherever they have sex) we enjoy our own lives we would be able to enjoy our own lives. Giving someone else the liberty to be who they are does not in anyway detract from our own freedom, instead it adds to our own freedom. I have enough in my own life to think about. I do not have the time or energy to be worried about how others are leading their own lives. We all have the same basic need to love and be loved. Hatred is a destructive force. Love helps those who give and those who receive. Hate benefits no one.

Кожне серце це революційна осередок (Minden szív egy forradalmian új sejt)

The next tattoo I want to get is one of the phrase, "Jedes Herz ist eine revolutionäre Zelle" and maybe one with the same in Ukrainian, "Кожне серце це революційна осередок." If someone can confirm that it is correct or maybe in Hungarian, "Minden szív egy forradalmian új sejt." I know the German is correct. I saw it in the film, "The Edukators." It is a statement with which I can identify. It can be a revolutionary act to be open about one's thoughts and feelings. We tend to censor our true feelings. There is too much emphasis put on trying not to offend other. I think that it is more offensive to expect people to hide their true selves. This is especially true for those of us in the LGBTQ communities. This is also true for those of us with socialistic leanings. This is very true of those who question religion. Fundamentalists and political conservatives want to be able to shove their views down the throats of other people, but if those who disagree speak up in disagreement they say that their religious freedom is being attacked. They fail to understand that religious freedom is not just for those who believe as they do. we all have the right to be fully who we are and to express what is in our hearts and minds. If anybody can tell me whether or not the Ukrainian and Hungarian statements are correct I would like to know. What is the correct way to say, "Every heart is a revolutionary cell" in those languages?

I need to stop being shy about contacting friends

It is time for me to get over my shyness about calling or texting friends. Part of this is from a lack of self confidence. Other people may need me to reach out to them as much as I need them to reach out to me. I try to build up the self confidence of others, but I tend to forget to do this for myself in some areas. I value the friendship of others, but I sometimes forget that the friendship I give to others has value too. It goes both ways. Both of us are giving and receiving in true friendship. I need to stop undervaluing the friendship that I have to give. I like it when friends contact me unexpectedly. I forget that I can do the same for them, and they might feel the same way that I do. I tend to see myself as less than. It is time for me to stop doing this. Just because I like to be submissive in some relationships not mean that I have less worth than the other person in the relationship. In those relationships I am submissive, because I have something to offer. Now that I have come to this realization I have to remember to act on it. I value friendship from others, but self worth can only come from myself.

Universities should focus more on education and less on sports

Universities should focus more on education and less on sports. This is not the case with all universities, but it is true with a large number of them. I do not have anything against athletes who have to depend on athletic scholarships to be able to attend a university. Perhaps university education should be made more affordable for everyone. Many universities recruit athlete to attend their schools for the benefit of their sports teams. They spend a lot of money on these programs. On what do they spend the money that they make through these programs? What is the purpose of universities if not education? Yes, I have said that I am a fan of Kansas teams, but I would like to see these schools and other state schools offer more affordable education. Sports should take less of a role in schools. Too many athletes who get athletic scholarships are not equipped for facing life after graduation from school. I blame the universities for this failure. They only seem to care about what these athletes can do for the school while they are there on the teams. They do not seem to care about what happens to them after they graduate. This seems like a form of exploitation to me. One of the reasons that I chose to attend the University of North Carolina at Greensboro was that there was more emphasis placed on academics. How well a university prepares its students for life should be more important than how many championships its teams have won.

Los novios búlgaros

"Los novios búlgaros" is a Spanish movie about a Spanish who gets involved with sexy Bulgarian, but things get complicated. Kyril, has a fiancee and connections with shady characters from Bulgaria. It is a sexy and funny film. It is easy to understand why someone could be taken in by someone like the Bulgarian character in the movie. I could probably be seduced into doing things like this for love. I would like to think that I would be wise enough not to let myself get sucked into things like this, but I would have a hard time saying no. Fortunately I do not have to worry about getting involved in things on the international level of things in this movie. I have made unwise choices in the past, but I have learned some expensive lessons.

Maillot de football français et Chandail de hockey de Russie (Французский футбол Джерси и России Хоккей Джерси)

My French soccer jersey and one Russian hockey jersey came today. Here are some photos. You can see how crooked my smile. I am self conscious about that. I am happy to get these.

I get tired of explaining who I am

I wish that coming out as being gay was not necessary. It would be nice to talk about having a boyfriend or husband without anybody raising an eyebrow. The coming out process is something that never ends if one is bi or gay. It seems that I am constantly having to explain who I am, and this is not only about my sexual orientation. Sometimes people ask me why I wear a collar. the answer to that is not simple. It has to do with being a furry. One of the tags on my collar refers to my love of a special friend. I wish I could be closer to him. I would be able to suck him off again, but if we never have sex again I will still love him. I was his pet, but not in a BDSM or a submissive way. I do like doing things for him, and I would love to be able to pamper him. He is part of my family. It is a tender, loving relationship. I wear t-shirts with flags of different countries on them, and sometimes people ask about them. Internationalism is part of what makes up who I am. I wish I spoke other languages better. I do not think that having knowledge of different languages makes me more intelligent than other people. There are definitely people who are better than I at speaking different languages. Even with other people who are gay if I am asked if I am a bottom or a top. I explain that I am mostly an oral bottom, but this does not define who I am. There is the coming out process there about my fetishes. Assumptions are often made about religious and political views. I am very liberal in both of these areas. My views are definitely different from those of most of the people I spend my time around.

I wish I had someone in my life with whom I could speak freely about my love for languages, Polish films, Slovak and Czech music, intellectual pursuits, the taste of pee and cum, loving to be seen sucking dick, etc. I do not want to be defined by any one area of my life.

In a Committed Relationship (Not the one I want)

Lately I have been in a committed relationship with my right hand. My left hand gets in on the action sometimes, but my left hand has only been able to get me off one time. Sticking a toy in my hole would not be fun for me, unless I was getting my hole ready in order to please a special man. Otherwise I would only want a man's finger or cock in there in order to please him. Putting things in my hole is not pleasant for me, so I would only want to do that to please someone else and make him feel better. I am more of a cock sucker. My mouth has not been getting action. I have never been flexible enough to suck myself off. I would rather suck another man off anyway and give him a tongue bath. Maybe I will be able to meet someone when the weather is warmer. I am thirsty for cum and pee.

Krótki film o miłości

"Krótki film o miłości" is a longer version of an episode of Kieślowski's television series "Dekalog." Kieślowski altered the ending from the original ending. Olaf Lubaszenko plays a nineteen-year-old young man who has fallen with an older woman who lives across from him in a group of high-rise apartment buildings. The first shot of the movie is of him asleep in bed with his wrist bandaged. He works in the post office and sends her notices that she has a money order waiting at the post office. He does this because he wants to see her up close. His name is Tomek. He has been watching her from his window with a telescope. The woman, played by Grażyna Szapołowska, has several lovers with whom she has sex in her apartment. Tomek lives with the mother of a friend. The friend has travelled abroad. Tomek gets a job delivering milk in the morning to have a chance of seeing her. He is very vulnerable. He seems very naive. He could be seen as a stalker, but he would never hurt her. At first the woman is upset when she learns what he has been doing, but she learns about his true nature. In one of their encounters when he is delivering milk she invites him into her apartment, but he is too shy. Eventually he does ask her out for ice cream. They talk about how he started watching her. His friend had showed her window before he left. He also talks about having grown up in an orphanage. He has an interest in languages, he has studied Bulgarian, English, French, Italian and Portuguese. She asks him if he masturbates when he watches her. He says that he used to but no longer does so. They go back to her apartment. After she showers she explains that when a woman is excited by a man she gets wet inside, and she was in that state with him. She mentions that she is wearing nothing under her robe. He is clothed. She kneels between his legs with her hands on his legs. He ends cumming in his pants. He is embarrassed and runs back to his apartment and cuts his wrists. This explains the opening shot. This scene is more tender than it sounds when put in words. She realizes that she has hurt him more than she had intended. This is a very moving movie that handles with sensitivity themes that could be handled crudely. The music by Zbigniew Preisner is beautiful and adds a lot to the mood of the film. I am touched very deeply each time I watch this movie.

What Do Republicans Have Against the Working Class?

I do not know what the Republican Party has against the working class. They claim that they are doing things to help the economy. They only work to help the rich. They give tax breaks to the rich and to corporations that ship jobs overseas. They fight against the raising the minimum wage, and some members of that party want to eliminate the minimum wage altogether. They claim that giving tax breaks to the rich will stimulate the economy. The only thing that stimulates is the growth of the wealth of the rich. If they want to stimulate the economy they would raise the minimum wage. If more people had money more money would be spent. They also want to repeal the Affordable Care Act. They claim that it is not working, but the numbers show that it is working. More people have health insurance now. Workers earning the minimum wage cannot live without government assistance, and the Republicans want to cut these programs too. We need to vote these liars out of office and make them live off the wages that they want the workers of this country to live off of.

They also want to eliminate regulations on pollution from factories. They claim that these regulations cost too much and cause the elimination of jobs. They forget that the wages of CEO's cost these some companies more than the regulations. They care nothing about the environment. They forget that we all have to live on this planet, and carbon emissions are causing a great deal of harm. They only care about keeping money in the hands of the megarich so that they can give the Republicans money and buy elections for them.

Почуття будинку в Празі (Pocit doma v Praze)

Some of my favorite times in Prague are of times when I did not receive special treatment but was treated like everybody else. Simple things like being given the same treatment by cashiers in grocery stores as was given to natives of the city made me feel more at home. Being greeted in Czech is stores and on the street was something I enjoyed. I wish I had handled giving tips in restaurants properly the few times I went to a restaurant by myself. That is one situation I hope they knew I was not doing the wrong thing on purpose. I was used to leaving a tip on the table before leaving the restaurant. I had forgotten that it was done differently. There was one time that it was fun to be treated like a visitor. I was on the Metro when three young guys got on the train with a bottle of wine. They wanted to practice English. I would have liked to practice Czech, but that was OK. Their English was better than my Czech was. We passed the bottle around and laughed and talked. I think they might have thought I had a sexual interest in them, but I was just enjoying their company. I would not have turned down the opportunity to blow them, but I was more interested in meeting new people.

At the school we had to give a one-on-one lesson to a student. The guy to whom I gave a lesson, Jiři, wanted to have our lesson at the Staropramen brewery close to the school. We met at lunch time, and I thought we would eat something, but we just drank a couple of beers. I had not eaten, so I was rather buzzed by the end of the lesson. It was a lot of fun, and I would have liked to have been able to get to know him better. The beer was very good, unpasteurized and unfiltered. I would like to visit breweries around the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia, Poland and Ukraine.

Některé z mých oblíbených časy v Praze jsou časy, kdy jsem neměl dostávat zvláštní zacházení, ale bylo zacházeno stejně jako všichni ostatní. Jednoduché věci, jako byla dána stejné zacházení pokladní v obchodech, jak byla dána rodáky města se cítím jako doma. Být pozdravil v češtině je obchody a na ulici bylo něco, co jsem si užil. Přeji si, abych měl zacházet dává tipy v restauracích, řádně se několikrát jsem šel do restaurace sám. To je jedna situace, doufám, že věděl, že jsem dělal něco špatného na účelu. Byl jsem zvyklý odchodu tip na stole před odchodu z restaurace. Zapomněl jsem, že se to stalo jinak. Byl tam jeden čas, že to bylo zábavné být zacházeno jako návštěvník. Byl jsem na metro, když tři mladí kluci se dostal do vlaku s lahví vína. Chtěli procvičovat angličtinu. Rád bych cvičit češtinu, ale to bylo v pořádku. Jejich angličtina byla lepší než moje byla čeština. Minuli jsme láhev kolem a smál se a povídali si. Myslím, že by si myslel, že mám sexuální zájem v nich, ale já jsem se jen tak si užívat jejich společnosti. Nebyl bych odmítl možnost je vyhodit, ale já jsem byl větší zájem o setkání s novými lidmi.

Ve škole jsme měli dát jeden na jednoho lekci studenta. Chlap, kterému jsem dal lekci, Jiří, chtěl mít lekci na pivovaru Staropramen v blízkosti školy. Potkali jsme se v době oběda, a myslel jsem, že bych něco sníst, ale my prostě vypil pár piv. Jsem nejedl, a tak jsem byl dost opilý na konci lekce. Bylo to hodně legrace, a já bych rád, aby byli schopni se s ním lépe poznat. Pivo bylo velmi dobré, nepasterované a nefiltrované. Chtěl bych navštívit pivovary po celé České republice, na Slovensku, v Rusku, v Polsku a na Ukrajině.

Деякі з моїх улюблених часів у Празі раз, коли я не отримував спеціального лікування, але ставилися, як і всі інші. Прості речі, як приділяється така ж лікування касирами в магазинах, як було дано уродженців міста змусив мене відчувати себе як вдома. Будучи зустрічали в чеська магазинах і на вулиці була те, що я користувався. Шкода, що я обробляється даючи поради в ресторанах, правильно кілька разів, я пішов до ресторану самостійно. Це одна ситуація, яку я сподіваюся, що вони знали, що я не робив неправильні речі за призначенням. Я звик до залишаючи чайові на столі, перш ніж покинути ресторан. Я забув, що це було зроблено по-різному. Був один раз, це було весело, щоб розглядатися як відвідувач. Я був в метро, ​​коли три молоді хлопці сіли на потяг з пляшкою вина. Вони хотіли, щоб практикувати англійську мову. Мені б хотілося, щоб практикувати чеської, але це було в порядку. Їх англійська мова була краще, ніж мій чеський було. Ми пройшли пляшку навколо і сміялися і розмовляли. Я думаю, що вони могли подумати, що було сексуальний інтерес до них, але я просто насолоджувався своєї компанії. Я б не відмовився від можливості, щоб підірвати їх, але я був більше зацікавлений в нових знайомствах.

У школі ми повинні були дати один-на-один урок студента. Хлопець, якому я дав урок, Іржі, хотів, щоб наш урок на заводі Старопрамен близько до школи. Ми зустрілися в обідній час, і я думав, що ми що-небудь з'їсти, але ми просто випили пару пляшок пива. Я не їв, так що я був досить гуділи в кінці уроку. Це було дуже весело, і я хотів би змогли дізнатися його краще. Пиво було дуже добре, непастеризоване і нефільтроване. Я хотів би відвідати пивоварні заводи по всій Чеській Республіці, Словаччині, Росії, Польщі та України.

Online Addiction

If I can afford the "buy it now" price on an item on eBay I have no problem going that route instead of going through the auction process especially if there are no bids. If others watching an item really wanted whatever it is they should have placed a bid. That does not mean I would not buy it immediately from under their noses. Remember, I am an asshole. If there is not a "buy it now" process the auction process can be fun. I try not to take it too seriously when someone else outbids me at the last minute. I am sure I would enjoy doing the same thing to someone else. It is not quite as fun as outbidding someone in person at a live auction, but it is still fun. I do enjoy the competitive part of it. It is especially fun to get something I have been looking for and being able to get it at a good price. I can see how people can get addicted to Ebay and Amazon. I need to be careful not to do that. I do have to be careful not to do too much shopping online. It is a big temptation when I have money.

Slovenský hokej Jersey a Daniel Landa: Slovenský hokej Jersey a Daniel Landa: 9mm argumentov

I found a Slovak hockey I could sort of afford. It was up for bid on eBay, but I paid the "Buy it now" price. I did the same with a CD by Daniel Landa, "9mm argumentov." I am looking forward to receiving both of them. I would love to be able to wear the jerseys that I have bought in the countries they represent. One of the Russian jerseys seems to be stuck somewhere, maybe in customs, or it may simply may not have updated on the USPS website. I hope it is the latter. I am also buying a French soccer jersey. I found an inexpensive one. It is fun to get things like this in the mail. I want to buy a new jersey like the one that I have. It is starting. I should not have dried it in a dryer. It has been a  lucky shirt for me. I enjoy wearing the jerseys from the countries where I feel a special connection. Next will be a Polish hockey Jersey.

I am listening to the Daniel Landa CD on YouTube. It is great. It was released in 2002. I like both his solo work and his recordings with Orlík. I got notification that this CD is being shipped now. I will write more about that later, but I need to get ready for work.

Našiel som slovenský hokej som mohol trochu dovoliť. Bolo sa na ponuku na eBay, ale zaplatil som "Kúp teraz" cenu. Urobil som to isté s CD Daniela Landu, "9mm argumentovať." Teším sa, že dostane obaja. Bol by som rád, aby mohli nosiť dresy, ktoré som kúpil v krajinách, ktoré zastupujú. Jeden z ruských dresov Zdá sa, že sa zasekol niekde, napríklad v oblasti ciel, alebo to môže jednoducho nemusí mať aktualizovaný na internetových stránkach USPS. Dúfam, že je to ten druhý. Som tiež nákup Francúzsky futbalový dres. Našiel som lacnú jeden. Je to zábava, aby sa veci, ako je to v e-maile. Chcem si kúpiť nový dres, ako ten, ktorý mám. Je to začína. Nemal som usušil v sušičke. To bolo šťastie, tričko pre mňa. Baví ma na sebe dresy z krajín, kde sa cítim zvláštny vzťah. Ďalej bude poľský hokej Jersey.

Ja som počúval Daniel Landa CD na YouTube. To je skvelý. To bol prepustený v roku 2002. Páči sa mi aj jeho sólové dielo a jeho nahrávky s Orlík. Dostal som správu, že toto CD je teraz dodávaný. Budem písať o tom neskôr, ale musím sa pripraviť na prácu.

Je ai trouvé un de hockey slovaque je pouvais sorte de permettre. Il était mis aux enchères sur eBay, mais je ai payé le prix "Acheter maintenant". Je ai fait la même chose avec un CD par Daniel Landa, "argumentov 9mm." Je suis impatient de recevoir les deux. Je aimerais être en mesure de porter les maillots que je ai acheté dans les pays qu'ils représentent. Un des maillots russes semble être coincé quelque part, peut-être dans les coutumes, ou il peut peut tout simplement pas ont mis à jour sur le site USPS. Je espère que ce est ce dernier. Je achète aussi un maillot de football français. Je ai trouvé un une peu coûteuse. Il est amusant de faire les choses comme ceci dans le courrier. Je veux acheter un nouveau maillot comme celui que je ai. Ce est à partir. Je ne aurais pas séchés dans un séchoir. Il a été une chemise chance pour moi. Je aime porter les maillots des pays où je me sens un lien spécial. Suivant le hockey sera un Polonais Jersey.

Je écoutais le CD Daniel Landa sur YouTube. C'est bien. Il a été libéré en 2002. Je aime les deux son travail en solo et ses enregistrements avec Orlík. Je ai eu la notification que ce CD est maintenant expédié. Je écrirai plus à ce sujet plus tard, mais je ai besoin de se préparer pour le travail.

Mais Sonhos de Viagens (Другие Сны путешествия)

Another country I would like to visit is Brazil. I studied Brazilian Portuguese when I was in school. It was mostly a self study course with an instructor. Having studied French, Spanish and Italian previously mad it easier for me. Our instructor was a very good-looking guy named Roberto from São Paulo. I sort of had a crush on him. I would like to practice that language. I once tried to talk in Portuguese with someone from Portugal. I could understand him, but he could not understand me. I learned the dialect from Southern Brazil. I would also like to visit Portugal. Fado is a musical genre I like very much. It is popular in Portugal. It's roots can be traced to Portugal in the 1820's. I found out out about it when I read a review of a CD by a Portuguese singer. I did not know if I would find it, but I found it used in a music store in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It would be great to travel by train from Portugal to Ukraine spending time in Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Russia on the way maybe spending time in other countries too. I could use my tongue for pleasing men and practicing languages.

Outro país que eu gostaria de visitar é o Brasil. Estudei Português do Brasil, quando eu estava na escola. Ele foi principalmente um curso de auto-estudo com um instrutor. Tendo estudado francês, espanhol e italiano anteriormente mad-lo mais fácil para mim. O nosso instrutor foi muito boa aparência cara chamado Roberto de São Paulo. Eu meio que tinha uma queda por ele. Eu gostaria de praticar esse idioma. Uma vez eu tentei falar em Português com alguém de Portugal. Eu podia entendê-lo, mas ele não podia me entender. Eu aprendi o dialeto do sul do Brasil. Eu também gostaria de visitar Portugal. Fado é um gênero musical que eu gosto muito. É popular em Portugal. É raízes podem ser traçadas para Portugal em 1820. Eu descobri sobre ele quando eu li um comentário de um CD por um cantor Português. Eu não sabia se eu iria encontrá-lo, mas eu achei que era usado em uma loja de música em Winston-Salem, Carolina do Norte. Seria ótimo para viajar de trem de Portugal para a Ucrânia passar o tempo em Espanha, França, Alemanha, Itália, Eslovénia, Roménia, Hungria, República Checa, Polónia, Eslováquia e Rússia, sobre a maneira de passar o tempo, talvez em outros países também. Eu poderia usar a minha língua para agradar homens e praticar idiomas.

Еще одна страна, я хотел бы посетить Бразилия. Я учился бразильский португальский, когда я был в школе. В основном это были самостоятельные занятия Конечно, с инструктором. Изучив французский, испанский и итальянский ранее ума легче для меня. Наш инструктор был очень красивый парень по имени Роберто из Сан-Паулу. Я вроде был влюблен в него. Я хотел бы заниматься на этом языке. Я как-то пытался говорить по-португальски с кем-то из Португалии. Я мог бы понять его, но он не мог понять меня. Я узнал, диалект из южной Бразилии. Я также хотел бы посетить Португалию. Фаду является музыкальный жанр мне очень нравится. Он популярен в Португалии. Это корни можно проследить в Португалию в 1820-х годах. Я узнал об этом узнали, когда я прочитал рецензию на CD португальским певцом. Я не знаю, если я найду его, но я нашел его использовать в музыкальном магазине в Уинстон-Салем, штат Северная Каролина. Было бы здорово, чтобы путешествовать на поезде из Португалии в Украину проводить время в Испании, Франции, Германии, Италии, Словении, Румынии, Венгрии, Чехии, Польше, Словакии и России на пути, возможно, проводить время в других странах. Я мог бы использовать мой язык для угождал людям и практики языка.

Ďalšie krajín, by som chcel navštíviť, je Brazília. Študoval som brazílska portugalčina, keď som bol v škole. Bolo to hlavne samoštúdium kurz s inštruktorom. Po preštudovaní francúzština, španielčina a taliančina skôr šialený to pre mňa jednoduchšie. Náš inštruktor bol veľmi dobre vyzerajúci chlapík menom Roberto z São Paulo. Tak nejako som mal zamilovanosť na neho. Chcel by som trénovať tento jazyk. Raz som sa snažil hovoriť portugalsky s niekým z Portugalska. Som ho pochopil, ale on by mi nerozumel. Naučil som sa dialekt z južnej Brazílie. Rád by som tiež navštíviť Portugalsko. Fado je hudobný žáner moc sa mi páči. To je populárny v Portugalsku. Je to korene možno vysledovať v Portugalsku v 1820. Zistil som, sa o tom, keď som čítal o preskúmanie CD portugalskou speváčkou. Nevedel som, či by som ho nájsť, ale zistil som, že používa v hudobnom obchode v Winston-Salem v Severnej Karolíne. Bolo by skvelé, cestovať vlakom z Portugalska na Ukrajinu tráviť čas v Španielsku, Francúzsku, Nemecku, Taliansku, Slovinsku, Rumunsku, Maďarsku, Českej republike, Poľsku, na slovenských a Rusku na ceste snáď trávia čas v iných krajinách. Mohol by som použiť môj jazyk pre potešiť muža a precvičovanie jazykov.
