Florian -> I scared off a gipsy (Feb. 1 2008 0:18:32)
|
hope u in the mood for a litlle racial relations pointless story..[:D] but i still feel like telling somebody
This guitarrist approched me, nice enough, good guitarist from Spain, has traveled to Japan etc...
I might have overpainted the flamenco scene in Adelaide [:D]but thats just pride in our own litlle flamenco scene and trying to paint it for what i want it to be and not what it necesarely always is, because i get the impression this guy thinks its like a litlle Andalucia here, i tried to explain how things are here, ok but nothing like hes imagining.
Anyway since he contacted me a month ago, every day i got an email from him, "is there an oportunity to give worshops there ?"
I said i dont know, mibe, i can ask my dance schools, they always have dancers worshops mibe they would be interested..
I for one would have loved to do a workshop with him.
but the reality is that theres not enough guitarists here to make it his worthwhile, mibe we could scrap togheder 5 or 6, and the dance teachers said' All the flamencos we get to teach here, we get because they are here anyway, there's no point paying $3000 airfair, when good flamenco artists travel here every year anyway at theyr own cost, and all we have to pay for is teaching, i mean its just good bussines, makes sence to me.
But this guy sent me an email everyday, resume, asking me the same question everyday, which is fine but eventualy starts to get a litlle tiering, ( i am not the decision maker here, and if i dont replie i feel rude) So everyday i am having to think of new polite ways of explaining to him the same thing.
SO anyway one day he sends me his track of him live in Japan, (wich was great, hes a good guitarist)
then asks if i can send him something with digeridoo, so i send him this track an australian flamenco group using digerrido, i tghout it will be a nice surrprise to him, not only what he asked for but used in something familliar to him, tghout he might get a kick out of it.
But he replies back , oh no i meant Australian ethnic music, at some point i mentioned that i am romanian, and that i am more familliar with flamenco/pop, romanian, other music then i am with Australian ethnic music, if there is such a thing and i dont have any albums of Aboriginals chanting ( not because they are aboriginals but simpli because i dont like it, so i dont buy cds i dont listen to), i explained this politely but i knew what i was doing, i wanted it out there that i am romanian [:D].
the second i mentioined i am romanian, it went from 1 to 2 emails every single day to now nothing for the last 3 weeks lol.
I cant help it [:)] he despizes my people , he despizes my people what can i do [;)]
so the point of the story is, if you are in Spain and a gipsy sticks a knife to your neck and asks for your money, tell em you Romanian [:D][:D]
If in Spain a Romanian gipsy sticks a knife to your kneck and askes for your money...give double because hes got twice as much problems [&:]
just joking, really i dont know what to make of this, and people are to old to be stupid enough to judge someone because of place of birth, and i dont care enough to wanna convince him that i or my mom or millions of others are ok, or if someone is going to be that stupid i cant be fuc*ed with them..
really the only way i can deal with this types of things is with houmor because if you take it too seriously it saddens you, the way i see it u got 2 choices, allow it to upset you and become a victim or make a joke of it truly showing that you are superior mentaly and make him feel stupid.
Its fair enough to hate someone that has done you wrong (if thats how u wanna deal with it) but i dont fuc*ing know him [:)]
excuse the colorfull language and the pretty pointless story but i use it as accents to hilight certain emotions and sometimes theres just no substitute for the word fu*k and for some reason i wanted to say my toughts out loud.
