i´m tellin´ ya´man....

i met donald today. donald is from new yawk, new yawk... yes he still has the THICKEST accent after being here for 10 years... we chatted for some time and i quite enjoyed his company. so i´m going to let him write my blog today...

in donald´s very thick, very heavy accented words...

´i used to work for the nuclear plant on the hudson, man, for years. i´m tellin´ya man, they closed down and alls we got was some cash, no pension. so i married my wife, she´s a beauty, i´m tellin ya´ man´, i´m lucky. so´s i took my cash, learned how to roast coffe beans, moved down here and opened up this place. nows i gots two kids and it´s great, man. i got friends who says to me when i left, ´what are you doin, man? you´re throwin´your life away.´ but you know what they´re doing, man? they´re just sitting right in front of their tv, i´m tellin´ya´, just wasting away... and they got nothin´ man, i´m tellin´ya´, they got nothin´.´ i ain´t goin´down like that, i´m tellin´man. he looked down, shook his head, deep in his own thoughts. ´this was the best decision i ever made.´

he then proceeded to serve me a cup of his strongest ecuadorian coffee.

yes, donald, this was the best decision you ever made.

good night, quito... happy birthday.
