Swine-Flu Addendum

With the swine-flu, I find it most interesting that the one's who have decided to wear these face-masks in NYC are the Chinese! If living at Marilyn's namesake has taught us anything, it's that there are much bigger health problems than the swine-flu, which itself has killed less than 25% of all Flu-related deaths (quote comes from Cedric, so if I'm wrong, blame him lol). From the mouse who lives on the fourth floor and climbs into people's beds, to the rats who don't let you walk on the north side of Monroe, to the questionable at best and disgusting at worst conditions at the restaurants, to the god-knows-what-they-really-put-in $1 dumplings, swine-flu is the last thing these people need to worry about. Stop wasting your money on face masks and buy Rosetta Stone English!

FaceMasks

During this vast swine-flu storm, a new YouTube video has been the trigger of an overwhelming controversy in Colombia, a fantastic country filled with stupid, selfish and thoughtless people. The video has created, most of all, funny and childish commentaries about how idiot our country is, about the ignorance of our population and about the causes of our terrible situation. All of those, by the way, very common commentaries when something stupid happens in Colombia; which is, in fact, a very regular thing.

One serious opinion, however, called my attention. Ricardo Silva, a columnist for the biggest newspaper in the country, used this as an excuse to explain his theory: new generations, young generations, are wearing facemasks: they aren't concerned about the world they life in, they don’t want to change anything about it, they just want to fit in the system and individually handle its rules the best way possible.

Is that true? Is that avant-garde and revolutionary spirits of the young generations over? What happened with the ‘60s-like, groundbreaking young generations?

I don’t have the answer, dear Marilyn. I don’t really care that much. The only thing I could say, though, is, PLEASE, PEOPLE, SAY SOMETHING!!

Make It a Brooklyn, Please

Welcome Home, Mrs. Marilyn.

We know This is not The Waldorf Astoria, Mrs. Marilyn. Neither the Plaza Hotel, nor Joe DiMaggio. This is just one shitty corner of this bulging metropolis. Or, better, one shitty street of this outstanding civilization. One, moreover, where you wont find the arrogance and cockiness you find above Henry Street. Here, my dear Marilyn, you will only find young people unashamed of been young, who eat dumplings once in a while and drink Budweiser once every two days. And wine, and vodka, and whiskey, and milk, and honey. Just people, my darling Marilyn, who wont touch the sky nor the ground. People, instead, who will just hang, stay still, chill, and wait for the eventualities of life. Or not. We can also be pompous bastards pretending to conquer the world in six months. Why not. You, stunning Marilyn, just tell us how do you want it, and we will be there for you.

Do it, in fact, in the way you want to. Videos, Pictures, Texts, whatever. This is, seriously, just a space to record the happenings, and the thoughts, and the whatevers, of a building filled with French, Americans, Swiss, Hindus, Germans, British, Ecuadorians and, maybe, if you judiciously dig inside, some Colombians.

Please, be our guest. Bienvenu. Welcome, don’t be afraid, Madame Marilyn. Your email is 47monroe@gmail.com, you password is chinatown, your address is http://monroe47.blogspot.com/ and your name is MONROE KINGDOM. POST!, you sexy Marilyn.
