Racism can kill you
This is one of the funniest music videos I've ever seen. And the remixed song by Fatboy Slim is cool as well.
How much I would like you to see the day-a-day life in Chicago. It´s like a XXIst century Babel and everybody is fond of their neighbors diversity. Exactly the opposite of the video! I learned so much about enjoying differences in cultures when I lived there. It was so much fun to discover similitudes too.
Anyway, we also have a lot to discover here in Bs As regarding the Peruvian, Bolivian and Paraguayan communities for example. And watch out! you can find fellows like this moron even downtown Microcentro.
Vivan Mosca y Smith! Viva El 11!
(Rules and signs: those are other topics of conversation that I´ll leave for another comment -I really hate those bastard words-)
A designer that blogs in my neighborhood said when referring to design tips: "Remember it´s also ok to break the rules, but its better to be able to follow the rules first before you start breaking them" I agree with you in the sense rules are a necessary frame but I much rather follow principles than rules.

99, you're "a box full of surprises" as we say down here. :)
From what I gather you lived up in the U.S. and also met Mike somewhere in the caribbean.
I however travelled a lot but as a young kid (Brussels, France, UK, Brazil, I have memories of nothing! - I was <5 yrs old).
I do like to play by the rules, and think rules should exist... from pollution controls to food safety to labor regulations...
Rules are fine, once I know what the rules are. :)
