HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
"Mai bine de atat nu se poate?!" meaning "it can't get any better"... well, dear, IT CAN!
Men's Paradise is a spoof of Heineken's commercial "Walk in Fridge" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIutgtzwhAc.
Raresh made it in February, 2010, when Bucharest was fucking freezing burried under tones of snow. He worked for 16 hours in the freezing air from the storage space. I remember talking to him on the phone around 2 am and they weren't finished and outside were -20° C. That morning me and Ana took the train to Bucharest too. Ana was leaving for France.
RAresh was asleep when we drove to the airport and coming down with a cold. HE was absolutely impossible to talk to after such a night on the set.
Ana and I were floating on rivers from the melting snow and slalomed through the mountains of snow still frozen on the sidewalk.
It was unbelievable. And back then we were all praying to get out of Romania asap.
Ana was the first to leave, we followed on April 24.
Men's Paradise.... I think in Romania it is indeed a storage space with all the props from the commercial and the ugly hooker on top.
I think the commercial is as much fun as it is tragic through it's sense of reality depicting work of art.
Men's Paradise .... said but true. That is how Romanian couples live ... from guys traveling to Chisinau for a night of "freedom" expressed in thrashing apart all the cheap brothels there having something to talk about for the next month. In the mean time, the wives clean, cook and take care of the children after working all day and taking care of business while looking at the phone, waiting for their "better halves" to call.
It is a Men's Paradise.... it truly is. That is why so many people leave the country. Because they cannot take so much happiness anymore.
They turn towards more unhappy countries from the West Coast of Europe or North America. It is frightening how fast people run from Paradise....
It is almost boring to talk about it.
I guess you can feel that but I just need to throw out words .... to use them so I free space in my head for new words. I need to refresh my mind. Maybe a reset wouldn't hurt either. But how can I do that.
I have started fresh, moved to a different country, on a different continent, with different standards and multicultural communities. Everything is new and seems to work better than back in Romania. But how do I reset my brain?!
I need a reset button. Or at least a disk cleanup. But No Can Do is all I get.
Why can't we empty our brains recycling bin? Select delete forever and move on. I am sure our brains will be able to work faster and easier.
Or a system upgrade?!
Anyone has a suggestion on this matter please feel free to drop a line. In the meantime I will laugh at "Men's Paradise" commercial....
à la prochaine...
