LIFE WITH SUBTITLES [2]

STOP ROMANTICIZING LIFE, THIS IS THE REAL WORLD !

The Collector's Guide to Fine Arabic Propaganda

"I thought it quite amusing that each Arab 'leader' has songs that extol the virtues of their wise rule, their glorious achievements, their outstanding bravery and their steadfastness and courage in the face of their nation's enemies. It is all really quite repulsive and nausea inducing."

do the empty at lunch time

"Living in Europe I used to go hide in parks or on big public areas during my lunch break and day dream there for an hour. parks were nice because you’d get some greenery, and you would feast your eyes on some of the city’s summer abnormalities (people – no gender differentiation- have strange habbits in some European capitals….at the sight of 2 rays of sun they would strip to their skimpies and pretend to sunbathe ignoring the fact that those 2 ray’s aren’t exactlyturning the local park into the new Bahamas)."
