gawd.. im so tired.. all i ever wanted is to fall asleep after the exam..but now i have this on my head... saturday is lag-baomer.. a national holiday when everyone go out at night and burn stuff... anyway.. i decided that ill spend it with my friends(kuzmich, bul, razumov, etc)cuz we havent really done anything lately and i dont really see them.. anyway... here start the trouble... someone decided to take some of the youngr generation with us.. i mean 14-15 yr old kids.. no one really minds.. they give in the same money as everyone and share all else like everyone.. so we took them.. and went shopping... we had around 300-400 shekels.. 330 i think.. now the problem is.. they aint russian.. and withought the russian childhood.. you just dont have a clue what spending some time with friends in nature means.. we decided were gonna make meat and stuff.. so the wasted most of the money on get-out-of-plastic-throw-on-mangal-eat meat.. thats just lame.. cuz they wasted enough money to feed like 30 ppl on food that wont hold them for a few hours.. i mean we got like.. 8 kibabs, 8-12 hamburgers, etc. only useful thing they bought is a 3-kg can of pickeles. and 2 loaves of bread.. which wont last long either(i spent like 15 min convincingthem that bread is essential.. i mean u cn buy a 1.5kg of bread for like 8 shekels or buy 10 pitas(which is like 0.5 kg bread) for 12.. and they wated to buy that) i have no idea how much money they think they got. but they just dont consider things.. like alcohol costing money.. and stuff... they prolly still live in the world of 6th grade.. where ppl go out, set sth on fire, eat a bit of meat in a pita, drink coke and go home.
so were basically out of money now...and we practically have nothing. i mean.. we got less hamburgers than ppl who are going to be there... and who's not gonna be hungry from a hamburger during a sleepless night?!?!?!?!?! they are morons.. which are gonna be dead drunk morons.
anyway.. me and razumov spent like the last 2-3 hours just thinking what to do and trying to fix things up... those people would be in such a mess.. really...
they live by the tribal way of life.. the israely teens of today can be devided into 3 groups:
1-those who shout what they want
2-those who are afraid to shout what they want
3-those who dont give a shit and follow the herd silently.
and that was what happened in the store today.. tomer was running screaming that everything i considered important wasnt good enough cuz he didnt like it.itzik was whyning like a bitch like always.. miki was staring silently and not giving a shit and just trying to find some gay jokes... and daniel was too afraid to say whats on his mind.
so if me and dani(bul, not daniel) didnt do anything they'd just be stuck with lots of burn-n-eat food.. and nothing else.. cuz they'd waste all their money right on.. on try to compromise with the cassier for hours...
they have no economical wit whatsoever.
i mean they just take what looks pretty, or has a funny name, or stuff like that.. no one checks qulity and price and shit.
apperantly their families werent really into going out to nature and doing some normal meat(i mean when you just buy a chunk of something dead and totally controll the process till its a stead or a shishlik or sth.. not just sth u take out of a plastic wrap and burn), or they just werent interested in the process of cooking and making stuff taste good... prolly due to overexitement from seeing a rock or a tree or sth...
so they dont know shit about having a decent evening in a non-urban envoierment.
and there comes the russian guy. well 2 of us. me and razumov.
we(as most russians today) work in a semi-communistic way. everyone gives same amount of money. usefull things that are brought along dont count.
everyone pays, things are bought to most effectively spend the money we have, everyone share.
i mean.. first thing to buy would be the most essential stuff.
-beer
-meat
-bread
-randomly flavoured non-alcoholic drinks and juices
later on come all the small but still usefull stuff.. cups, plates, etc.
and only after that is when you go and buy everything else.. if you can afford it..
so now were trying to save the situation and buy some actual meat and and stuff.. hopefully we'll get around 4-5-6 kg.. that'd be good... really good...
i mean all those morons have now is
-beer
-1.75 liters of nimiroff vodka
-bead(were forced to buy by me)
-overpriced-nutricially-ueffective meat that wont last for 2 hours
-3 kg of pickles
-some 300 gr of olives
-no money
(and they wasted around 300-350 on all that)
now comes the part when me nd razumov try to fix it..
we must buy..
-MEAT.normal meat.
-all non alcoholic drinks
-coals for the mangal
-make ppl make salads
-all plastic table stuff
to make it normal.. and the funny thing is that we will now face 2.5 days of being brainfucked and no one will even thank us for what we did.. and all were trying to do is make that evening a decent one by the russian standarts...
the world sucks.. where did your attachment to nature go?
i bet that if the non-russian population of this country(exept mentally or physically ill people) was dropped to a survival thing 90% would end up dead.
i mean a 70 year old russian lady has more mountain climbing skills than the average israely 16-17 yr old teen(this one is totally true, proved by practic, wish we had a videocam that day)
