Portugal

As you all might have found out, or not, I’m Portuguese, more precisely from Guimarães, also known as the Portuguese cradle, where it all began. And everyone who lives here knows for sure that we are the worst country in Europe. And all of you that are not Portuguese may ask why, as we have great beaches, bitches, weather, women, men and food. But in order for you to have that, we have to bust our asses to work as you relax and order another whiskey and earn one third of what you earn. And now you ask why the hell do we still live here, and that is easy to answer, because we are in fact PORTUGUESES, and that means to love our country no matter how bad it may sound, and just for that it makes it a pleasure to live here! And now a Portuguese hip hopper or MC may say that I shouldn’t be writing in English and that I’m a sell out and other stuff, and I say with great pleasure that another bright thing about us (yes, Portugal is so good that has two bright sides!), is that we are a true free country, and therefore I’m entitled to write in English because it’s the language I feel most comfortable to write!
So, this is today’s message... Portugal!

Portugal… our GREAT country!
- Great places!
- Great people!
- Great beaches and bitches (this one was lovely)… (we know some of them)
- Great north (lol, this is special…)
- Great GOVERNMENT that fucks us every fucking single day!
- Well, everything is great…
However,
In my opinion, I believe we are getting used to live in torture and agony so we all have a tendency to always look to the fucking dazzling side of life (specially in sun-drenched days!!!)It’s not easy to live here but we are still here because we want to!!! As you say, my dear friend, we are PORTUGUESE, that means that we love our country no matter how awful it may sound ou actually be, and just for that, it makes it a pleasure to live here!
Portugal is so good that has two bright sides … yes; it has… the WONDERFUL NORTH!!! :p (this one is a joke)
That’s all folks!!!

P.S. I NEED A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP!!! (If there’s some mistakes here please forgive and forget, I’m too exhausted)
P.S.S. It is easy to express our feelings in ENGLISH because it’s easier and simpler and it sound so much better!!!

I forgot this:

Why worry, there should be laughter after the pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

in Dire straits, Brothers in Arms (1985), Why worry!

This is what we think when everything goes wrong in this small country! at least I believe so...
