What Up?

Yeah, I'm that ghetto.

BWHAHAHAH  .... I'm so far from ghetto it's not even funny.  Although I do like a good rap song.  Probably about a year ago I was driving home from work and the sun was out, my windows were down, I was in my Mini Cooper, and ready to paaarrrr-taaaay.  So I decided a little T.I. was in order.  Yeah, so I get stuck at a light and literally the beginning scene from Office Space happened.  There was a black girl just up in the other lane from me and when I pulled up, she turned around and stared at me.  I imediantly  turned my music down and was just looking casually around.  I felt SO awkward!!  But why?  I'm allowed to listen to rap too.  So why, just because I'm white can't I have my music cranked up and whatnot?

I guess it's the same reason that if I saw a black girl with 1,000 Miles by Vanessa Carlton blaring I'd probably give her a look that said, "Really?".  Have you guys seen White Chicks, it's actually pretty funny.  But yeah, stereotypes, they're dumb.

I wonder if years and years down the road there will even be 'races' anymore.  I mean, with people moving over different countries and interracial relationships becoming less and less taboo I think eventually there will only be one race, literally.  And everyone could said that they have Canadian, Irish, German, American, etc, etc, etc heritage.  It would definitely never happen in our lifetime.  Probably not in my great great great great grandchildrens' lifetime.  But I do think it will happen.

It's hard to think of life after you die.  Crazy stuff.  I guess it's like thinking about life before you were born.  Yes, the lessons you learn in history and the stories your parents tell you were before then but that's just it, they're stories.  Some are even so ludicrous that they seem made up (hello WWII).  Like seriously, some guy though that he was ruler of all and that only his specifications were legit with regards to people....that seriously sounds like something written in a story, a tall tale.

Anyway, wow, as usual I've veered off course.  Well there is something for you to think about, stereotypes. I don't ever think they'll go away though.

So on a fun note, I'm tres excited to be going to my zoo's Wild About Wine wine tasting event tomorrow!  The Bage and I are going so it'll be a fun little date night for us.  They have 3 wine events total and a beer event (they have a martini one but I'm not so big on liquor myself).  I bought tickets for all 4 since you basically got a buy 3 in advanced get 1 free but also because it's a major event and it tends to sell out at least a month before each thing.  I'm just excited to have something different to do and check out.  HOPEFULLY I'll remember my camera and we'll take some pictures.  I'm HORRIBLE about taking pictures!  Speaking of, I need to put up the one picture I took from the Cinqo de Mayo festival last weekend.  It's quality..you'll love it!!

Okay, I'm out for now...

Pace,
