Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I remember growing up with little to no racism. my parents were not open about how they felt about other races til I was older then it was more funny to me lol I had friends of all colors growing up :c

I used to have to walk five miles in snow to school every day. And I remember. Also this.

I want to play more ahri

Still find it weird anyone would care about pearl harbor unless they were there that day. Also weird to be mean to a whole race for that :|

My folks were kinda... weird on racism. My grandfather hated the Japanese and made no secret of it, and my parents always explained it away as ok behavior because he fought in WWII and lost friends to the Japanese. My folks lived in New Mexico, just a couple hours from the Mexican border, but they had big issues with people who spoke Spanish better than English. I heard the phrase "This is AMERICA. We speak ENGLISH here." more than once. They kind of expected that if you moved to America, you adopted ALL the American ways, as though you could not move to a new place and keep your own familial traditions and cultures. It was the opposite of what my schoolteachers taught me about America being a melting pot and having so many different cultures being what made it special.

I think the worst thing that happened regarding racism though, was one day my stepmom dyed my hair dark brown because, as she said, "It would be a feather in those Mexicans' hats to have a blonde girl like you!"

I always just figured that my parents couldn't be wrong about such things, even though I had Hispanic friends and liked them. Then when I went to college and met other people and learned more things and it was just appalling to look back at where I'd come from.

I love my parents. But I could never live with them or near them again. We just have too widely different views of too many things for it to work.

I'm a potato.

ANIMERS

So, your average thanksgiving turkey is killed at 14-18 weeks. From something I read on pardoned turkeys, these turkeys have a max lifespan of like 2 years, because they're so overweight that their organs can't take it. Wild Turkeys live up to 10 years.

Makes ya hungry.


If you do eat out tonight, remember to Chewwwwwwww your food carefully friend.

Thanksgiving tanked. Work was absolute hell. Lost the feeling in a few of my finger tips due to constant burning. Right hand is cramped from gripping a knife. Right arm in general needs a rest because carving turkeys for 4 hours with no break is ***.

Get home and learn my grandmother had a freak out and Thanksgiving dinner was cancelled. Admittedly, cooking Thanksgiving foods for 8 hours killed my appetite... But family time, y'know? :|

Blargh, gonna shower and do something on XIV.

Ranty Spath~ non-important or relevant and easily skippable.

I get it

*brohug* :<

Reminds me of my sister. Besides the kid and fiance part, anyway.

need more motivation for 14. Just get 300 myth and pretty much done til next week

Can't wait till Thanksgiving is over. It has been a long long day.

From what you described, you seem to be looking at it the right way, lol. >.<

I enjoyed the holiday till all the little kids showed up and decide to be as loud as humanly possible.

Yea I know it sucks to have to work on Thanksgiving in general. But sometimes I wish I could just get away for the holiday. Like a small vacation just by myself.

What I am saying is I don't like everyone here at once.
