Puddle at My feet
Pride: Too much is a sin...Too little should be a Crime
I very often do a lot of thinking, about a lot of things. But more often than not I don't wish to voice them.

I've decided I want to talk a little about myself.

I'm different from a lot of people of my race, (BTW, I am African American/Native Americian) when it comes to likes and dislikes. And, even though it does make finding people with similar intersts diffucult (Near impossible where I live. ) I'm in some ways glad about it. The way I talk also more often than not puts me at odds with others of my race. I don't like to use slang, or excessive profane language, or hip hop/Rap, like many of those where I live.

Don't get me wrong, I have found those who understand me. And in 4 out of 5 cases, they've been outside my race, again nothing wrong with that in my standpoint. If You and I understand each other, I wouldn't care if you're blue skinned.

But what I am saying is Screw everyone that says I'm white or not ***** enough(BTW, I HATE that word with a passion) just because I don't like 50 Cent or 36Mafia or whatever. I'm happy not being the Archetype Stereotypical African American.

=P Haha. Nice entry Jorrell.

It's actually pretty amazing to know someone like you, you know? I'd love to introduce you to a friend who's in possibly the same circumstances as you ('cept he's like me in music terms and likes to joke around alot too I suppose xP)

I don't believe you're white. Trust me when I say this, being white isn't all that great in this time period, unless you know how be white and balance it. It's all so frustratingly dumb, how so many people are trying to act black. And that's only American Black as well. People from Africa come here and they're like: "...I have to listen to this kind of music..." (Which would be rap, of course. Don't get me wrong, underground s**t is good sometimes and even mainstream (VERY FEW)) but it's wrong to have to act like an American black person who is so mainstream that it makes your head turn.
