While blogging the last post I realized, that this blog is no place to discuss personal matters. What a pity, I’ll write just for myself…

    well… it’s safe to say that as long as the posting isn’t in english most of us united statesians won’t understand a single word, anyways.

    the whole world does really speak english, you know. i mean, everyone thet gets interviewed on my TeeVee news spekkens der english, though not good as the averg ‘merican.

    all you gots to do is s-l-o-w d-o-w-n and talk LOUDER.
    ever’one knowed that.

    i can’t wait for my first trip to france!

    I am not concerned about the strangers, it’s the people I know who read this blog…

    This place is more or less known to all the people I know in real life. So when things happen I’d like to ramble about but are that little bit to personal I have to do it in secret or somewhere else.

    Which somehow is a pity really cause it would be very interesting what strangers would say.

    France? Why that? Hungry for frogs? =)

    yep. it’s why i’ve tried to stay anonymous. though, i really don’t post anything too personal. then, again, nothing too personal really ever happens in my life. it’s all sort of impersonal, really. perhaps i need therapy?

    i thought france would be the best place to go and talk english REALLY LOUD and s-l-o-w and expect everyone to understand it.

    donchathink?

    Well if you get a therapy there’s a very good chance that things will get very personal very quickly if you try hard enough.

    Yes, that’s right. The people there would really like you. When you want them to love you, bring a Union Jack and wave it while yelling “Upon this charge, cry God for England, Harry and Saint George!” or something along those lines.

    i’d bring a ‘merican flag
    and.. talk LOUD and s-l-o-w about how we bailed them out in all of the wars.
    or…to eurodisney and complain that the hamburgers don’t taste right.
    or… maybe, i’d ask for ice in my wine.

    the possibilities are endless – if you’re a truly ugly american…

    Guess you have to decide from the outset what kind of blog you want to maintain and who you tell about it.
    On the other hand, what does ‘personal’ mean? I have been wrestling with that question myself recently. There are occasions where disclosure can be harmful professionally, but in your private sphere, what reasons can there be for being less than open?

    The problem as I see it is: The way the internet works this isn’t a private space anymore. To many people I know know of this blog.

    The things I’m not blogging about would require an anonymous blog or a handpicked audience.

    I use the blog to get stuff whats on my chest. Personally I like the fact that people can read a personal blog. If I dont want peeps to see a blog that I want private, I hide it.

    Arbus,

    Mate, I was in Paris in March and watching this bloke from London shouting TOOTHPASTE while doing the action. The poor bloke behind the counter give and him his due could speak english but too the piss back shrugged his shoulders and stared at the ignorate English twat as hes doing the motion and speaking slower and slower as if it helps the french dood to understand.

    The guy handed him a toothbrush and the English bloke lost his rag. NOOOOOO

    TO OOOOO OOO TH PAAAAAASTE UNNNNNDER STAND??????

    We are so ignorant of other countries.

    Edited as it was supposed to say toothbrush.
