    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Why do I have to go back to work????

    I'd call in. Work is very overrated.

    I don't know which is better - his level of denseness or the prattling on to himself.

    (and jeez, I had to squint hard to read that!)

    Why do people ask 'why' to questions no one can answer.. i.e. Why are we here?

    not sure...'classic rock' is anything over 20-25 years old
    but I did see some 90s concert shirts at the thrift store, and they were labeled 'vintage'
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    That is a good plan. Learning another language expands your horizon and it is fun to do as well.

    It was funny when I studied in Finland. Everybody understood the Americans because they only spoke English. Everybody else was able to switch to another language if they didn't want everybody to understand what they were talking about. There was one American in our Finnish class. Zack. He was in love with a Finnish girl and wanted to leran a bit of the language to woo her :) But he was the only one.

    So another question - would you consider it as an advantage or a disadvantage that as an English speaker almost everybody understands what you say, everywhere?

    That is a great question...... one of the reasons that I was hesitant to visit Europe was that I was afraid that I would not be able to communicate. I was looking at the "Nordic" countries and planning on attending some PJ shows there because I had heard that they could and enjoyed speaking fluent English in some cases.

    I think it would be an advantage if you were traveling abroad. But I know what you mean about switching languages. Every time I go to an Mexican/Vietnamese/Chinese/Japanese etc. restaurant and they switch to their native language, the paranoia in me thinks that they are talking shit about me. :))
    I would at least attempt to speak the 'native language' of a foreign country I was visiting...and lolo, they *are* talking about you... image

    Same here (though I'm FUCKED if I ever visit Greece or anywhere in Asia).

    I actually preferred my sorry tries at European languages - French is the only one I know - and I think the residents appreciated it. Hell, they even helped guide me to proper phrases, pronunciations, etc.

    lolo, I swear there's a Seinfeld or King of Queens with the language/talking about you scenario.

    It's funny - my mom is Persian but my skin/hair/eyes reflect my father's German heritage. Was a time years ago I was on the elevator in my building (large Iranian contingent) and a woman said a phrase that I recognized to her friend. I commented on it - their faces were priceless.
