Journey, Not A Destination

Steve, you probably don't like rap but here's where Boss Tycoon comes from, although you have to bear with it for 50 seconds before the chorus comes in. Haha I decided I'm going to be Mac Dre for next Halloween. I need to network with a makeup artist, though. Mac Dre also had a variety of outfits to choose from, all WARM which will go well with the weather.
 
You're forgetting I'm 27.

I grew up when rap was hitting mainstream.

I'm cranking rap music more often than not when I'm lifting heavy shit. :)

I just watched Boyz N The Hood last night. It was on VH1.
 
I was responding to your comment about me not liking rap. ;)

But that's cool you have that scene at your fingertips.
 
You make points.

There are several scenes at my fingertips, and I didn't appreciate them until I went UP IN them. Glad I'm recognizing. You know, L.A. is REALLY where it's at, but the mentality is a bit too mean-muggin' for me--people in the Bay Area and Norcal are just....NICER and more about partying and having a good time, where it seems to be a lot of frontin' down in SoCal, and designer clothes, and snobbery--course, the underground music scene is OFF THE HINGES and I can't wait to visit some time :)

What up with Phili?
 
Snobbery.

Uhg.

That's something I can't deal with. When I went to Miami it was off the deep end in terms of snobbery. I mean it's cool that people care enough about themselves to take care of their bodies and health.

But the whole air of down there wreaks of snobbery.

Not my style.

And Philly?

Truthfully I couldn't tell ya. Whenever I've partied inside the city, it's always been house parties or typical bar scenes. I've never been one to frequent clubs to be honest.

Anymore, I rarely even go to bars. I'm more into having people over to my place and just chilling.

I'm an old man now.
 
Right, but what about writing?

I always wondered, in a place where everyone speaks 3+ languages, how one decides on which language to address a stranger. I guess it would go by region and whatnot, but as an anthropologist I'd definitely be down to visit and live it, and see.

I never met a person in Europe who didn't speak at least one of the following languages:

English
French
Spanish
German

You address a person in Switzerland using one of the four languages spoken in Switzerland: German, French, Italian or Romansh. Each area has a dominant language. Most of Switzerland is German dominant (about 65% of Switzerland is pretty much Swiss German). Lausanne is French dominant because it is closer to France, but it is a Swiss French dialect. In Bern, both German and French are spoken.

If you get a raised eyebrow speaking one language, you switch into another, etc. etc. until you find a language both of you can speak. It's actually not that difficult.

As for writing, most correspondence is written in Hochdeutsch.
