Tangerine's PoV

Who cares that the students have to go to the University the 26th of September? I guess nobody, as it’s been almost one month since I submitted my application for the Student Visa and it’s not here yet. So, here I am, trapped in Romania, classes will begin, and it’s not enough that I don’t understand Catalan and the classes are in Catalan, I have to lose one, maybe two weeks of classes and let’s see how I can retake it without knowing anyone there. I hope my visa will arrive soon as I’m not able to work, not able to study, I cannot do anything here. Maybe I’ll finish my Heroes quest, or maybe not.

So, here it goes, to the Embassy of Spain in Romania: If you need more people, get more people. We don’t have to suffer because you’re understaffed.

Maybe world is too crazy, maybe it’s not crazy enough. What’s true is that every day I see more weird news on TV.

Let’s see… China acts on funeral strippers. It’s true. This is the most outrageous news I have read today. Come on! How can you strip on a funeral? It should be one of those rituals that should take the dead’s soul closer to God, or at least this happens in my religion. Strippers? I wonder what music they listen to on these funerals. Should it be “You can leave your coffin on”? Or maybe some Sentenced songs like: Digging the grave, or Killing me, Killing you? It’s incredible what people can do to increase the audience of a funeral.

“The once-common events are held to boost the number of mourners, as large crowds are seen as a mark of honour.“ Who’s honour? People go there to see the strippers, free show. This is like that news I read some time ago about the discounts the german unemployed got for their night visit to the prostitutes. I use to like traditions, they bring that special something to a country, but this seems a little bit exagerated to me.

And this is not all… Now we seem to have only 8 planets. Pluto loses status as a planet. So, everything we have learned at school is lost, it’s not the same. I wonder how this will affect astrology and all the other sciences. It’s strange to see that what you knew for all your life is wrong. What will be next: Terra is a Caprabo bag and humans are some evaluated hairy worm? What can we expect now? Everything is changing, war is all around and planets are not planets anymore. I support the advance of the science and tecnology but don’t confuse us!

And a very good one, quite impressive. They don’t prohibit games like Counter Strike, they show violence on TV all day long, and more than that they show almost naked poor girls that don’t have enough money for a skirt so they think that a scarf will do it, so they show up on TV with the scarf instead of the skirt. Don’t kids see that? Of course they do, but still, that is not bad. What is really bad, in their opinion, is that Tom smokes so… Smoke’s no joke for Tom and Jerry. And this is a solution to a problem. Congratulations! You’ve done a great job, but not the job you should do.

So, this is the world we live in. Welcome to the jungle. I’m changing vines!

Have you ever seen a really bad movie? But, really really bad that it makes you turn off TV for two days? Hmmm, you might have seen Dracula 3000 which is the most threatening competitor of the movie I will talk about.

We were relaxing after having lunch on Sunday, watching TV. We decided to see a movie, any movie but in the end it resulted to be a bad decision. The typical story, man and woman getting married, moving to a new house next to some crazy neighbours with strange habits. Man has to leave town, woman home alone. The guy next door has a serial killer face and poor lonely woman gets scared. Ok, all normal, but, if she gets scared why doesn’t she run when she has to run, why doesn’t she hide when she has to hide, why does she still call the police officer who’s the best friend of the killer to share with him the new suspicions? It’s quite strange to understand, but the quality of the movie left it quite clear: because it’s an awful movie. I understand that you stay still when there’s nothing else to do, that would take us closer to a good movie, but why did she still go out at night when the neighbour was around? Hard to get, or maybe I cannot get it.

The first thing I did after seeing the movie (yes, I saw it all and I’m not proud of it) was enter IMDB and make a better world: give a 1 score to the movie.

And they say that it’s a movie inspired from Hitchcock’s Rear Window. Yeah, right. And my mother is Ultravioleta! Or maybe the scriptwriter didn’t see Hitchcock’s movie (or any other movie). So, get real, even the videos on Youtube are better.

Don’t watch the movie, it’s just like listening to “tz tz” music. It seems to come in a promotional package with hernia included. Get real, bifidus would be better. Let’s all vote for bifidus movies! Protect your health!

I have heard more than once theories that tried to interpret the words of a woman. Most of these things are funny, but in most of the cases these are not true.

When a woman says “We have to talk” she will not tell you that she is pregnant, she will not tell you that she wants to marry you or that she wants to break up with you. This is not a general thing, most of the times… surprisingly… she just wants to talk to you.

When a woman says “I need time” it doesn’t mean that she will go out with the first man that helps her cross the street nor with the last man she saw the night before. Generally, it’s because she made some efforts to talk to you about what worries her and didn’t find the desired response so she will look for it inside herself. She will go home, she will sleep and then, after some hours she will call you to talk to you about her concerns. Try to be more responsive and you’ll have her back, unless you are dead drunk with a woman under you whose name you don’t know and that tries to steal your phone shouting “Who is it baby?”.

When a woman buys new underwear it’s not because she found someone else, maybe you should think about playing PC games at work or on the street and paying her more attention at home. If you do and she rejects you, try again several times, if this persists maybe it’s time to find the man that likes pink underwear.

When a woman says she will go out with her friends on a trip to Turkey it’s not because she has met some turkish guy over the Internet, maybe she just needs to spend some time away from home, with her friends. Let her go without saying a word: she will call you every day and maybe she will come back sooner.

Some of the things that we say are true, some are just another face of the truth, the opposite one, but generally it’s better to trust carefully till the end that accuse all the way. It’s better to be a fool in the end and have good memories, than to be distrustful and have no memory of peace.

There are however some things that apply in 90% of the cases.

If a woman says she loves you, trust her, you’re the only one in the world. It takes a lot of experience to get to say I love you without feeling it. I never could…

If a woman says she misses you, believe it, there’s nobody in the world that will care more about you.

There’s no general rule that can apply to men or women, but there’s still common sense in the world. This works always.
