Chinese people

Before talking about the economical invaders, I have to say thank you and I'm sorry! I'm Sorry I've been out all this time and thank you for keep visiting!

For long these yellow smiley imigrants (this is not a dark joke, just a yellow one!Damm I'm evil!) have been invading every country on earth destroying our good quality crapy stuff with their crapy crap!!

Though the biggest problem is not them coming here, but us buying their goods (this is just an expression!), I feel like they are invading our space, making us buy things we don't need, things we don't want and things we find cute! All these things are... wait... stop... this is stupid! This text does not make any sense! A while ago I despised racism and now I'm being racist?! It has to be stoped now!

Before stoping at all I have to present a bright side, wich in this case is simply that if it weren't for those guys from China big companies wouldn't be forced to drop their prices!

So, the economical message for today is... Let China in

Racism

This is a subject most avoided by everyone and you already know I love to talk about subjects everyone avoids, but this is a special one; this is something that we all despise and censure. I don’t like censorship so I will find something bright about it, like the Thriller in Michael Jackson. (It has started: the first Black or White joke!)

Now seriously, it is weird when people that suffer from racism fight it by becoming racist and diminishing their own race and beliefs. Changing the colour of his face only made it worse, it was not the solution, only an insult to the African-American traditions! The only thing good that it served was to confuse the already brain-damaged guys from the Klu Klux Klan, it left them thinking the same thing black people thought: “Hum…shouldn’t we kill this guy!?”, and it was so confusing that no one did, not even O. J.!

Leaving Michael Jackson aside (just like he did to his music), racism still lives on and, unfortunately, will continue to exist, though it might not be so common and strong. When I speak of racism, I don’t just mean White people discriminating Black, I mean all types of racism, against White people, Black, Chinese, Indian, sick people (they change colour too), whatever colour they are!

The white, I mean bright side of it is that I am actually glad that some people are racist, seriously, it makes me feel so smart and intelligent, because it does not take much brain activity to know that despite someone’s skin colour, what really maters is their attitude, their will, their wit and resiliency, what’s inside.

And the bright coloured message of today belongs to… Be a racist, make me clever!

War

We can all agree that killing people is bad, except for George Bush, of course. And there isn’t much to say about it, we just turn on our TV and watch the headlines talking about war here and there and about to start over there, but do we really get a glimpse of the truth? This is a trick question because we only see what the media want us to see; fortunately we don’t get it live on our window, unfortunately, if you live next to the TVI building or the white house or something stupid like that.

But what is war? When I think of it, I realize that we start cold wars on our everyday life, whether it’s with our lover, our parents, our colleagues at work or even our friends. People need war just as monkeys need bananas. (Ah! Great José Cid!). As a friend and visitor of this blog, Verita, used to say “War without blood is sex”, I don’t quite agree because sometimes sex has blood, just look at that Marilyn Manson video for “Heart Shaped Glasses”, bloody fucking driving her crazy! Speaking of music, War (also) inspired a Portuguese band that has been performing all around the world for soldiers, inspiring them to fight for their beliefs or just for the sake of shooting up people. That band is Kalashnikov, with songs like “Tiananmen Tiananmen (Kill Another Yellow Man)” or “Warriors Of The Hezbollah “, this War Time Rock n’ Roll band has been raising hell wherever there is war.

But even war has a bright side, and I don’t mean when a grenade blows up in front of you, I mean a real bright side, something useful. We all have been in a situation where we meet someone and we don’t really know what more to say, and some war, somewhere, in a remote part of the world is always the best topic to unlock the moment. We know for sure that there is always something to say and everyone gets the news that there is a war happening and you can have a moment to shine and say something smart. Of course, if you’re a guy and want to score a girl, you better stick to that “So…do you like kids? Actually I can make them, you know!?”. It is better not to enter in a war topic, just stick to being funny.

So...the bloody message for today is... Fight for conversation!
