DaZeD aNd CoNfUsEd
RAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I'm so confused right now. Life is fine, I suppose. I don't have to live in a house where an insecure older woman feels the need to try to strangle me, and I feel that I have a little bit more independence, but it's kind of depressing. Taking this year off is nothing like being at school (duh). I don't get to hang out whenever I want, it's harder to meet interesting people, and it sucks! The real world SUCKS! Someone please tell me something interesting :-p

Love
As I write this blog, I am reflecting on the current situation that is the United States. Why is there so much hatred? Of course, there is not only hatred in this country, but everywhere in the world; however, it just seems that the hatred is often magnified. The whole Jena 6 ordeal and all of the fallout from that bad situation are just the icing on the cake. I just don't understand how people can be filled with so much hate!
I love the diversity of the world, and take advantage of being in such a diverse community. Every opportunity that I have to learn about a different culture or make friends with people of different communities I take. I know that it sounds corny, but I am color blind when it comes to people, which leads me to my next question: Why are people so afraid to date outside of their race?
I have had many opportunities to be the first whatever that someone has dated. I have dated people of multiple ethnicities, and despite what other people think, I don't think it's a sellout in the least bit. How can you be a sellout when you have a belief system that enables you to love people of all shades? I don't want to sound conceited or anything, so I'll stop using the word "I," but it is interesting, if you think about it. Why is it that there is so much exposure to homosexuality on television, but not interracial dating? It always seems taboo, and above that, it's always just black and white. When will the day come when there doesn't have to be some controversy surround a relationship involving two people of different ethnicites? When will people date "outside the box" without it being due to parental dissent?
Does anybody understand where I'm coming from?
