thoughts from my mynd.......

Sometimes due to my accent.....whatever......I get asked "Where are you from?"

My favorite response "From the dirty dirty south playa. I am from that 504 diztrict. New Orleans." They stare at me for a second.....then I say "Yeah I grew up where smoker's out back were selling their mama's sofas." If they ask me "Is it that bad?" I reply with "I use to get in trouble back in da day but the law one...the sheriff got shot but them fella's forgot his son."

Yeah that tells me if they down or not. Most of the time my sister and I say this for shits and giggles. No need to be proper with us. We are from a different culture all together. We know. My boyfriend tells me I am from another country. He has been there.

I tell people....."people are so passionate about New Orleans and LA because it is raw." nuff said.


Other thoughts coming to my mynd are:

I realize how not keeping up with technology can hinder someone. It keeps you in the part of society that is slower. I look at my grandma and realize how she has kept her self uneducated. She refuses to keep up with the way society is going and depends on people. She keeps herself in the dark and therefore is behind in societal standards.I know part of this is she feels old and from another genration. She has a pattern, a way of life, etc. In today's world one can keep a pattern but how they may do one thing may have to change. For example one day answering the phone will be of a foreign event. We will soon be talking to people on the computer. Right now the thing most that changes is how I receive and send information. I think people are looking for something for their soul. The psychology and spirituality section has grown so much in the past decade. People want a faith, a higher power, a better sense of self. With this transition into a faster means of communication we have somehow lost who we are.

I conisder my sister beautiful. She has given me the best gift on Earth. She has given me my nephew. I missed his birth but she knew it was best for me. I had to move to another state to make a better life for me. Whenever I see her and my nephew even in photos, I get a feeling of peace and calm.I know he will have the best life that can be provided to him. He is definitly not without at this time. She has sacrificed a lot to bring him into this world. I often wish I could do more for her. Words cannot express how much I love them and what she has done. He will be someone great.

I think people who are spiritual recognize that there is a God and that we should try to live by his works. I think people who are religious focus their entire life based on their faith (such as Jews). They live for their faith.I believe fanatics go too far and instead of getting people to convert by actions create demonstrations and verbally try to insult you to get you to convert. I do not believe in this.

I am on fiyah i know :)
