Let's get serious for a moment

Today, Buenos Aires was hit by transport strike, a measure that is becoming more and more frequent as time goes by. I'm not fully informed to express an opinion about this situation and I don't care, because if I were, nobody would care what I think, in fact, nobody cares about other people's opinions. Everyone has their only truths, and nobody wants to hear others' opinions. That's the way the porteños think. There are always so many people in the middle of this confrontation between the government and some unions and nearly always they are affected because they can't arrived at their workplaces. To be honest, I have mixed feelings about this: something, that I'm not completely sure what it is, annoys me. Maybe it's the egoism, the dissembled violence behind these acts or the media trying to make us believe that the Argentines are very devoted to work. Let's not lie to ourselves anymore. NOBODY LIKES TO WORK!!! I hate working and I'm not afraid to admit it. What are the pros of working? Er...nope, there's no bright side to look on about working. Oh yep! The salary. Well, in fact, that's necessary to eat. But if you didn't need your salary, you would certainly not work. What's the point of wasting such quantity of hours a day doing something completely repetitive, boring and useless for your life? I think that I have clearer the part I like about transport strikes, though I'm missing the point of this entry.
Coming back to the first point, this strike is generating transport chaos at some places of the city, as if more chaos were necessary. Gov't telling lies, the opposition telling lies, people distrusting both parts, making them be divided by something nobody understands...it's pathetic and sad. Nothing is gonna change until this presidential term is over.
To give a humble conclusion, it seems that our only "solution" is still waiting and praying for something better. This is something that clearly can't satisfy anyone.
It's probably a sad conclusion, and I wouldn't like to leave this entry in such an awful way, but I'm running out of ideas and I can't see how to cheer ourselves up.

My dear Buenos Aires

First of all, I'm gonna introduce myself: I'm Silvio Llorens, aged 26, and I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Yeah, I'm a porteño from my first day of life. Then, why am I writting in English? Because I like it better, just that. First question: What is it all about? On this blog you'll find all the things I like best and least about living in Buenos Aires, my points of view, my thoughts. Second question: How often will the entries take place? As often as I feel the need. Third and last question: Why this topic? I think I have a lot of things to say about the city where I live. Its pros and cons, its good and bad days, its weather, its people, its "rules"... Okay. After introducing my main ideas to you, let's get started: Living in Buenos Aires can be really tough for somebody who isn't used to it. I don't mean people staying for a short period of time like 1 or 2 months, but longer. And I can say that just by thinking of myself in situations such as being robbed right after having left home or having to wait half an hour to get a bus at midnight. Nevertheless, living in Buenos Aires can be a really good experience too: night outs are longer than in other countries, parties are really fun and since you are used to the far-reaching bad mood and even moody people, when you find a smile on a person who is working, let's say, as a seller (which is clearly not the funniest job), you feel amazed! Sometimes people can surprise you! To sum up, most of the time, I complain about Argentines' behaviour, and that's a good reason to begin to write this blog. In this way I can avoid annoying the people I'm surrounded by.
