On anti-chevereness


After being dubbed as anti-chévere by drayru I have to ask, again, What the fuck is so cool about intoxicating oneself with rotten barley?


Pas de boulot, pas de diplômes
Partout la même odeur de zone
Plus rien n'agite tes neurones
Pas même le shit que tu mets dans tes cônes
Va voir ailleur, rien ne te retient
Va vite faire quelque chose de tes mains


Bogotá


Until a few years ago Bogotá, the city I live in, was considered "no mans land", being home to millions, very few among those millions considered the city their home. I think that has been changing for the better in the last few years. Many sceptics said it would take a million years and a billion dollars to transform the city, in fact it only took about ten years and a few millions. For the first time, I must say, even if I don't approve the unorthodox methods through which some of the changes where achieved, that the politicians have done a good job. (I didn't know those words, politician and good could go in the same sentence.
It is not as if the city has become paradise over night, there are still many problems and things that need to be better, specially on what safety is concerned, but we've come a long way and set an example of how it really is possible
