In general I enjoy traveling and have been to most countries in the world and evey World Cup since 1974 but I will probably sit this one out. It's a shame they are having it in Qatar because it will deprive me of another trip but on the plus side I have been researching my ancestry and discovered that in addition to German and Russian roots I have other European ties as well and because of that I'm planning another trip soon to visit these distant relatives. I've been able to narrow down my additional European roots to Denmark, England, Italy and Spain. I just need a little more research and probably within a week from now I'll know for sure what other roots I have.

Sure although not here. I'll send you a pic of it in private messages. The reason I don't wanna show it here is that I haven't waxed in a while and it's a bit unkempt for my taste. I normally go every couple of weeks but with the real estate market hitting its peak I just haven't been able to pull myself away from the office. The place I go to is pretty decent and while they are a bit on the pricey side ($550 per session) I am pleased with their work and I tip them normally between $75-$100. There actually was this one time when I was in a pretty elated mood and not only gave them a $200 tip but also a pair of Jon Secada backstage tickets. The way I got these tickets are a story in itself. I had bet $5,000 with one of my friends regarding the value of Amgen Inc. and after he lost the bet he sheepishly admitted he really couldn't afford to pay up. I asked how he intended to settle our bet and he indicated that he was Jon Secada's second cousin and had backstage passes for his concert. I reluctantly accepted and I say reluctantly because I had already seen Jon Secada twice backstage after prior concerts. In fact one time as I was telling him what songs of his I liked I actually broke out singing one of them and he was so pleased that he gave me his bedazzled blazer which I still have. In any case after I left the $200 tip, given that the masseuse was Hispanic, I felt that she would enjoy the tickets more than me and so I gave them to her. She thanked me profusely and ever since then she always provides me with extra towels and refers to me as senior alemao. Well if there is one thing to learn from this, it is, as we say in Germany, Ich bin nur ein Kind das jeden Tag vier Jahre alt ist Ich lerne noch mehr.

Which has been your favourite? Do you usually stay in hotels when you go or spend time with your family in each country?
My two home World Cups were definitely the best. For Russia I stayed with family because когда мдадма мдедведдь гдовдордит идди домдой, тдедбе лучдшде идди. The same with Germany as my German relatives invited me over and we did a lot of drinking and soccer. Was isht Fußball ohmene alhkoahole? The rest of the times I stayed at hotels. Other than my home World Cups my favorite was Italy in 1990. I always thought during World Cup times their rates were the most expensive which they were. Anyways I went to Italy and it cost an arm and a leg but a buddy paid for the hotel so it was free for me. It's just overpriced there and the casino's are for tourist traps honestly. There really is nothing to do except go to buffets, go to some shows or gamble. Well I dont gamble, go to many shows and I don't like gorging myself in buffets so there is no point in me going. I will say this though there are a lot of cute girls in bikini's who are ready to go becasue the have the, "What happens in Rome stays in Rome" mentality. The girls are my favorite attraction there.

Do your family in Russia or Germany see you as an outsider, or as one of them?
No we definitely have strong ties as both Germans and Russians consider their family as a close knit mafia. I have visited them as much as they have come to the US. And when someone disrespects my family is when I become gheyrati.

One time when my relatives from Russia had come over and we went out to eat and the waiter forced me to stand up to him. First rather than saying welcome to restaurant x our special is y he siad, "Ya what do you want?" I said, "You better change your tone with me or we are going to have a big problem." After I threatened him he was cool for a minute but then he purposely took 45 minutes for our food to come over when it was ready in 15 and our food was cold. When I told him this is unacceptable he popped another attitude and at this point when I got up and asked if he would like to resolve this outside then he changed his attitude to a positive one again. I am not a violent person but my Russian relatives were there and I felt like he was trying to punk me. I even notified the owner and he knew me it was in the Shell and Bones Oyster Bar and Grill in New Haven and my friends and I always go there for the Yale games and Patriots games. Anyways the owner told me he would take care of it and he fired the jerk.

When I was in the army for four months I had to wash dishes for 12 hours and serve officers who had a bad attitude so I know what a tough job they have. Everyone in the army must do it I actually like the idea, it humbles you even if you are an officer and you are on a small brigade you have to work in FSA(Food and Services). Anyways I always start the tip at 15% if you do an average job. If you do a good job then I will bump you to 20% and if you go above and beyond then I have no problems tipping you 25%.

Army must have been an interesting experience!
My friend when you have been laid off as long as I have been, and money is running out, you find any way to support yourself. At the time our economy was in the toilet and I needed a job. Even my dad was not guaranteed a job because constantly they were laying people off in his company. Nobody was safe at least I had a recession proof job for the next four to five years, and it would look very good on my resume.

When you work in corporate America and you have military leadership they promote you over the other guy if everything is equal. That is just the way it works even certain compaines such as IBM exclusively hire ex army or military officers. You can't get this leadership from an MBA school my friend. I planned on getting my MBA while I was in the army because they will give you 100% tuition assistence. Now if you combine that with being an army officer you can basically write your own ticket. I hope that clears up any confusions you have my friend I tried my best.

Can't you interact like a human being or is all you can do speak like this with your so-called hamvatans?
No he can't even if his life depends on it. No wonder why he always backs Chinaski. They have the same types of personalities. It's a wonder why he's still allowed to post here. These types of people are Iran's and the Iranians' main problem.

just2for you-Don't be a sucker he would have not passed the Psychological Background he was never an officer in the US Army or in the Army.

You are NOT US ARMY OFFICER MATERILAL. I know these people I was in the Navy and rose up the ranks
You would not have made it past boot camp because they do a throuough psychological background check on you. Dude you have serious mental problems. I even defended you after you attacked me and chinaski but you have the same personality as them. All you two know how to do is attack your so called hamvatans. Do I care that you don't think I am Russian Irooni no because I do not respect you. Do I believe you graduated from PRIENCTON or STANFORD no.
DO I believe you would have probably commimtted suicide in the US ARMY YES. Do I believe that you talk crap to people in Russia NO because Russians like me like and know how to fight. Dude you need to seek therapy, I wish you luck ok I am not going to make fun of you anymore but I am going to leave you alone. I really suggest you look deep into your heart and realize you need professional help and I can recommend a psychologist to you. Post something in Russian without using Cyrillic bratushka dobry noche nasdarovia
Back to foottball @Pooya Bebaksheed I will no longer engage with KC If I am limited how many posts?


I just really don't like this guy's personality he attacks his hamvatans now moving on. BACK TO FOOTBALL
I think I am going to win my football Euro pool $20 I predicted an English victory and an England vs Italy finals.
I just have one question Pooya jan how come you are not saying anything to Ramin S for just bragging about himself all the time and hijacking these threads bro? At least I don't claim to be 30 different European
Nationalities bro.

He is an attention hoe he is not here for footbal he is here to attack people. Ramin S = KC MC Elroy of PFDC, same personality as Chinaski back to football
This guy distracted us enough now it is getting good.

England won't be challenged vs Denmark but they will vs Italy.

@just2viewgeneralforu I don't know if you are joking, trying to set him on a trap or you are just being naieve dude I will be blunt with you.
1- Ramin S so far by my count claimed Stanford MBA and Priencton law, if he went to these schools would he take this much time to respond to me?
2= He as never in the God damn US army bro they do a psychological background check, he would not have passed.
3- He might have an MBA but not from Stanford, more like a state school
4- he does not know how to speak Russian or German he speaks google translate
5- He hijacks threads and because of this @Pooya limits m y posts because I respond to this asshole.
6- Can you stop instigating and feeding the beast dude, can you just let this guy be and leave him alone, don't engage with his nonsense?

7- Anytime you are in Las Vegas, I will buy you a pint of German Beer at Crown Bar and we can catch a Bayern or Germany game.
8- I just spent $1800 on a Krog G1 btw I like Clavinova's but rather expensive

9-If it is in the budget I want to take my Bulgarian Russian girl to Qatar and introduce her to Iran football.
She already says, 'Wow what a bunch of great looking guys on your football team, I would sponsor them for US citizenship."
10-For her I go to Qatar if I have the $ if not WC 2026 North America will be her first taste of Iran football.
11-This guy doesn't even play a musical instrument he never posts any of his compositions where he made $150,000
12 He only posts in CYRILLIC if i tell Ramin S what does Ot Yebis Ot Menya mean in transliteration, watch him get STUPID.
13- DON"T FEED A TROLL!

Yes I used my GI bill to obtain it. I used to smoke weed almost on a daily basis before I joined the military. The only thing weed does is it gives you the munchies so if you don't want to get fat make some healthy snacks like celery sticks and carrots and make a healthy dip like mast o khiar. Also, have you ever read a story where someone drank alcohol and did something malicious like get a dui and kill someone or beat their wife? All the time right? Have you ever rad a story where someone smoked weed and he beat his wife or got a dui and killed someone? Probably not.

I personally don't drink at parties but if you want that is is the right place to do so but be careful because COPS are cracking down and giving DUI's like candy. It happened to several friends I know. They set road blocks and checkpoints so you can't escape. What I am trying to say is if you drink at parties that is fine but be smart. Drink a FEW drinks at the start of the party and give your self at least one hour per drink so if you drink three beers, give yourself at least three to four hours and drink water a well. If you want to get a little tipsy or sideways at a party, you don't need to drink an entire 12 pack or 1/2 a bottle of vodka. I only am saying this to you because I saw friends in the military who started with drinking on the weekends and it turned into drinking every other day. After that it turned into drinking every day to escape. You don't want to drink when you are frustrated or mad because it will magnify it and you never want to drink in order to escape from your problems because your problems will still be there.
