Which One Are You?

[ARbound]

It's missing the BA Expat, you know, The Bitch (us). People who bitch about Argentina, the people, money, Kampora, Kirstina, Krime, Koruption, etc. but we're all too lazy/worn out/broke/hopeless/adjusted/married/engaged to move back to London/New York/LA/Sydney. We're a ragtag band of libertarians, socialists, Obama haters/defenders, apologizers for America/Britain, amateur money moving AFIP haters, peanut butter lusting, Hitler's Fluoride fearing expats that ended up here for reasons God only knows and stay for reasons that likely puzzle him too. We're not pretty to look at but I do get a lot of amusement reading posts, and get some comfort knowing people hate the dog shit as much as I do and wonder why they stay.

I often think we're like the "Ship of Lost Souls (aka Honeybunch)" from The Simpsons. "Who are we? No one. Where are we sailing? Nowhere. Do we even exist? Who knows?!"

I stopped reading the Indie when Adrian Bono left.
Trennard knows how to write which is a gift you either have or not.
Writing about life in BA isn't easy as you will always set yourself up to be shot down.
But if you really care about your writing, you don't really care do you?
