NO. I don't feel racist at least. I'm not a neo-natzi or a white supremist. I feel everybody deserves a chance to make it in this world. I'm a halfbreed Indian, Cherokee descent. I'm not thouroghly pissed over the United Negro Fund, or any black colleges. I am, however, pissed over the fact that if this country gets anymore blacks, every white guy and gal will become the minority. But hey, at least we'll be able to finally get money from the government. I don't think having a Black History month is right till they get an Indian History month. Check your history books and you'll find that the majority of history is written by the winners. I don't know what a "Native American" is but I know that everybody born in the U.S. is one. I believe that Indians got screwed in nearly every deal they agreed to with the government. Is it racist to want to be recognized as human beings? Blacks bitch all the time about how opressed they were by the whites. Big freakin deal. My people were considered less than human and were being wiped out enmass. You show me one town that was completely dessimated by another group by people trying to commit genocide. I don't believe in political correctness either. If you really insist on being called African American because you're proud of being desended from Africans, go your happy ass back to Africa and set up shop. There is no such thing as a "desended American". If you're American, that's it. Your heritage is none of my business and I couldn't care less. So if you don't like my opinion, BITE ME!
What is the birth order in your family? Do you think it has an affect on your personality?
Submitted by aynge.
I'm "the baby" in my family. My sister is 3 years older than I am. Unfortunately it doesn't matter your birth order if you weren't wanted in the first place. My mother wanted girls not a boy. I was supposed to be twin girls, instead I was a fat lil boy. Most babies of the family get the royal treatment, or at least an easier way to go. I was treated like the ugly stepson that nobody really wanted. My sister never missed a chance to tell me how much she hated me and the fact that I was my father's son. My aunt was right there with the same attitude. My mother was less than endearing when it came to my upbringing.
What is your most treasured memory and why?
Submitted by Savannah.
I really don't have just one memory. There was a time in my life that almost everything was near perfect. I remember when I was 20 and I had just met this lady with 3 kids. She was beautiful and incredible. I met her in Nov & married her the next Jan. Actually I'm not sure if I truely asked her or not. I was standing behind her while she was doing dishes and we both heard a voice say "will you marry me?" I started looking around for where the voice came from and discovered that it was mine. I couldn't believe my ears. See, I always wanted kids but never wanted a wife. She turned white as a sheet and looked at me like I'd lost my mind. We both kind of freaked out. Then I told her since the question was truely out there, "would you?" She said she'd have to think about it for a while then in less time than it took me to take another breath, she said yes. I couldn't believe how lucky I was. We were married a few weeks later and stayed together "till death do you part". She died on January 5th, 2000 at 4:20 in the morning. Nine years after we said "I do". That is 1 among many memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I'm not saying that there aren't fantastic memories with Debbie, my new wife, but I still play the best of the memories of my first wife almost every day in my head. It is not better to have loved and lost. It is always better to continue the love no matter what the new cercumstances. I love my new wife dearly and believe in my heart that we were ment to be together. But you never forget your first true love.
What's your worst habit?
I smoke. I've been smoking for a very long time and I do believe that I will continue to do so for a very long time to come. It's one of the few things that I do well and enjoy doing. Yes, it makes my breath almost unbearable. Yes, it makes my clothes stink. Yes, it may cause me cancer sooner or later. Most days it's my only breakfast, a smoke and a cup of coffee. This morning I'm having a bit of Swiss cheese with my coffee. I don't smoke cigarettes either. I smoke cigars. Little cigars that have a filter and are cherry flavored. Without my smokes, I'm almost as terrible as without my meds so yeah, I think I'll just keep on tokin.
What makes you a good (or bad) neighbor?
High fences make good neighbors. I don't buy that tho. I think in order to be a good neighbor you have to mind your own business and be friendly. If I see my neighbors out, I talk politely to them and try to be friendly. I've always been a social person anyway so it's not that hard to be nice. I love to talk too and I'll talk to just about anybody. But nosey neighbors drive me nuts so I try not to be one. The only reason to butt in to your neighbor's business is if there is something detrimental going on. I actually like most of my neighbors.
What were your first words? If you have children, what were their first words?
My parents used to fight a lot so I got to hear the more colorful language. Shit was my first word and it got me knocked out of my highchair for my trouble. My mother was slightly against me repeting anything I heard. Kids learn what they see tho so I had a very colorful vocabulary at a young age. I spent so much time getting whacked and having soap in my mouth that I started liking the soap. Lava sucks tho. Era aint too good for the digestive system either.
