Oh ok... Anyway, if it has to do with what I said about "Happiness." I don't think it's "revelatory" per se. I was just being philosophical whilst trying to paint a picture about "Happiness" in relation with the forces of the universe, human consciousness, and western civilisation. In the true sense of the word "Happiness," no one connected to western civilisation can be infinitely happy, due to the fact that human wants are insatiable...and the energy is just too fast-paced and unpredictable. People may feign it, act it superficially, but deep-down inside them - they know it's just a veil to hide what's on the inside.

However, that was why I alluded to finding peace within oneself. The only infinitely happy people on this planet are probably the amazon tribes of Brazil. That is basically because they're disconnected from the world/civilisation, and everything they do is within their domain.

I hope that helps. grin

Why you delete am now? I wanna see... Hehe...so how many Kolanut, tubers of yam and bottles of schnapps should I bring?

Beantown is pretty cool, least I think so smiley. See me profile pic. It is very much like Chicago in terms of overall "feel", though Chicago has way more, drop dead impressive architecture. Its also kind of similar to Philadelphia because of the historical/nostalgic aura they both have. If you looked at a map of the two, you'd see Philly was well planned & developed (straight lines thru the city), Boston is more of a 'sprawling' outwards from the ocean as the settlers moved inland, so its not the easier place to navigate, part of what makes the place unique. And from the few places south like Texas I've been to, those are nothing like up here, quite different in many ways.

So, where is your first stop? cheesy

Erm...Sorry for the late reply; the England vs. Ireland football game got me hooked up.

Hmmm. I said certain things on that track, I shouldn't have said. That was why I deleted it. I'll probably upload it again for you before weekend, or record another special freestyle for you. grin For the induction, we need to your pic. That's what the stakeholders of the thread agreed on after deliberating on what the requirement(s) should be. tongue

Boston sounds like an interesting place. And probably the Liverpool of America. I just hope the accent isn't as weird as the scouse accent lol. What's the real Bostonian accent like? I bet it has tons of Irish influence lol. I absolutely love any place close to the coast and I can see myself living there. Also, do you support the Patriots? I'm a NFL head.

As for the first stop - I really don't know yet. I need to see what summer has got in stock for me. Autumn looks most likely.

Gwan rudegyal? Erthing bless, yeah? Man a fi luk fi yuh errwhere, ya noe. tongue

I rate Bro. Malcolm X and I absolutely respect everything he stood for, but I'm definitely not-part/not-interested in any militant group like Sons-of-Malcolm, or black panthers. grin Fighting for black people is a waste of time and energy. The same people would be the ones to snake you and sell you out for a nickle - so what's the point? The black race is a lost race and most are comfortable with the status quo.

Moreover, I won't be surprised if some black people are also part of the neo-Nazi group, the black panthers are defending themselves against. That's how messed up we're as a race. And the Sukant Chandan guy, who's the leader of the Sons of Malcolm group still shocks me every time I read his twitter TL. The guy is Indian(probably one of the few Indians with African ancestry). However, he's the most pro-black guy on the internet(UK). And he's highly educated as well. But I still don't understand why he's so passionate about black people(big ups to him for that, anyway).

Anyway, racism will never die - it'll just continue to metamorphosise into different things. You know like the life-cycle of Lepidoptera. Egg(when Europeans joined the rest of us) ---> Caterpillars(the renaissance in Europe after the dark ages)----> Wing development(period of slavery and colonialism) ---> Pupa(that's the stage we're at right now and how subtle racism has been in Europe for time) ---> Adult(the next stage when it's going to fly around the world with its beautiful wings). Hehehehehehehehe...........So evidently, that's why I study the philosophy of Malcolm X, to protect my close friends, family and I against all eventualities - ain't no one got time for the black race loooool.
Re: This God Forsaken Country Called BRITAIN. by Nobody: 2:34pm On May 30, 2013
Mi dedeh! grin

Yes, the "status quo" would be to organise no resistance and see your brothers die as snakes in the near distance tongue. In Athens, the cause to fight is less complex and in self-defence (I hope). To the black people living there, action is necessary and justifiable because their racism has a definite ugly face; it is not dressed-up as grandma (complete with big comforting b0soms) like here in the UK. I usually don't support violent reasoning or vigilantes, but I'm sympathetic to any break to the cycle of self-loathing and inaction black communities suffer. I hope that we find ourselves in good form soon!

(^^Flytefalls needs reporting to Optimists Anonymous for that garbage up there) undecided

Loving the bioligical analogy obviously lol, but you omitted the death-phase wink. During your proposed adult phase, will we fight for survival or die a holocaust death? There is always a death phase, and every reason to take action and have an impact on the resultant new egg. Make your preparations!....

Accents can be tricky things...there is definitely a Boston accent but I don't think its hard to understand at all (of course I'm biased). I think southern (mississipi & co) accents are probably the trickiest of american accents to get. I think the British accent is undecided. I'd been on the road for a bit and was happy to finally be in an english-speaking country where I could communicate...mehn was I wrong lol. I could barely understand most of the time what the heck they were saying. There was this recent ESPN commercial featuring two brits & their EPL teams, I've seen it at least 10 times, I still have no idea what they're saying lol.

and did you say NFL? know ye not that I am the unofficial NFL activist here on NL? I ran the ship for ~4seasons until I took a break last season https://www.nairaland.com/170354/nfl-11-12-season-here-where

Honestly, there's 2 sides to every coin as they say. I recall one episode that left me thoroughly embarrased. I was in downtown Athens and suddenly heard screaming and shouting and a group of ~5 black women questionably dressed running and everyone in the crowd was staring at them. As they ran past me I recognized the unmistakable pidgin english & accent that identified them as Nigerians, they were laughing & giggling as they ran. They were being chased by an older white man who was shouting at them. I felt so embarrased for them and that they were Nigerians. Most of the time we came across black folks they were either at the station 'hustling' or something shady. And naturally, we encountered some racist attitudes through our stay. But I can honestly not blame some of the local greeks. Black people give ourselves a bad name. When you go to a foreign land and disrespect your host, what do you expect? unfortunately the hate and racism will in turn be taken out on other innocent black people.
