Coming from a band of gypsy people, and also a foreign family where English was clearly a very second language....(Just say this phonetically and you will know what I mean "Vat do you tink you are doing? Do you tink just beecuz you are in deh Ahmreeca you can be asskhole kid?"...My dad liked to say this to me a lot) anways, I really have a special place in my heart for foreign people. They can be a big pain in the ass, or they can be awesome. Most of the foreign people we think of a pain in the ass are, people who we see driving slowly or terribly so we instantly judge them for being foreign, cab drivers, store workers, etc. etc... you get the point. I feel we don't give these gypsys enough of a chance to see how they actually are as a human being. Take some time on your next cab ride from the bar at 1 am and talk to the cabby and see how cool he is.
Ok enough of the "don't judge lest ye be judged" shit. The point of this blog is that I really enjoy seeing foreign people getting shit-faced in the good ol USA. I came from a family where we were the ONLY non white American family in the neighborhood. There were non Americans, but they were still white so it didn't count to me. Anyways, I noticed as the older I got and the more I would hang out in DC I would meet au pairs, people here on business, or just tourists from all over the world who liked getting hammed up as much as I do, but they enjoy it so much more when they are in America. I'm sure they go to bars in their respective countries, but when they are here, it's something else. I know when me and my gypsy friends (we all come from various nations; Iran, Greece, Bulgaria, Spaniards of some nature, Jordanians, and even a couple of classic white people) we have a great time and the mixing of cultures makes things interesting to say the least, or ridiculously annoying for people who have to walk by and listen to a bunch of assholes speaking with stupid accents because they are drunk, but its not the same because we 100% take for granted the fact that we can get kicked out of a bar for being loud assholes and then yell at the bouncer and tell him how big a douche he is and then just go to the next bar over. Our foreign pals who come here are complete opposites however, they get waste face and just enjoy the fact that they are in America and having a great time with us Americans, the mentality is amazingly different. I assume it would be the same if I went over seas, but seeing as how I've only been to Mexico and was robbed twice by the police and the maid staff, I can't say that it is. I can say I will never step foot into that goddamn country again, and yes its judgmental but I dont really care. Fuck Mexico. Canada is cool though, they don't care about anything and have sweet Molson Export.
Maybe it's just the fact that they are on vacation or whatever, or maybe its because they realize America rules, but whatever the reason, I like how our foreign pals get lit up when they come to our hood and don't cause problems, they're just here for a good time.
Cheers Gypsys
Ive been to Prague CZ, and I can say first hand the Irish dont give a fuck and will get lit and fight regardless of where they are and how much bigger the opponent (and sober)....the Scotts and Brits get loud too....Cheers
ReplyDeleteI've had only good run ins with the Irish here in Boston. Not the Boston Irish, but real Irish who come to America.
ReplyDeleteinteresting the only thing i remember about them in CZ was getting hammered and harassing the Girl of one one the bartenders...and when i say bartender yes these guys made drinks but as big as they were i am pretty sure the also competed in the world strongest man competion needless to say te Irish lads got the shit stompped out of them
ReplyDeleteFuck all this Irish noise. How can you say these damn foreigners enjoy getting "lit up" more in America, than they do in their own damned countries? Especially when your foreign ass has only been as far as Mexico?
ReplyDelete"I'm sure they go to bars in their respective countries, but when they are here, it's something else" Also, who doesn't enjoy getting more lit up in a different country? Anyways, thanks for reading!
