Wow.

Sooo....Just read all my old blogs. . and I just... Wow.

Apparently, at the age of 19 , I was suffering from a severe case of NY Ghettoitis that no one felt the dire need to save me from. What in all of the holy effs was I even talking about? Some things, if you will, were kind of,sort of, funny and witty, educational even. And its quite entertaining how I would go from a sentence like  "Its great to know we can all come together around a common purpose. "  to a thought like .. "I'd like to formally congratulate my n*gga Buck50 da CEO on being the newest Producer on the Skull Gang movement" in a nanosecond. It's almost a bit scary, but to give my self a very much undeserving benefit-of-the-doubt, I ,in fact, WAS 19. My idea of entertaining my friends was to write things in my good ol' gangster lingo and promote their premature ventures.

I also find it funny that,now, at 23, almost 24 (going on 40), my vocabulary has become "uberly" polished [what an oxymoron] to the point where my friends tell me that I talk like a "White girl". I'm sorry friends, I had no idea that speaking properly and using the occasional "big word" makes you a White girl but I'll be quite sure to check that box next time I am filling out forms that requires you to include your race. Hispanics who? Do NOT get me wrong, when I'm just hanging out and relaxing, my inner 19 year will break out of me and you'll hear plenty of "YO's" and "Son's" and emotions being emphasized by the word "mad" (i.e. I'm mad hungry.. That was mad funny..), give me a break, I'm still a very proud New Yawker with a chance of bad attitude sprinkled on top. *shrug*

Point is, All this proper lingo mumbo jumbo was made even funnier when I was on lunch today with two co-workers at good old Mickey D's having a discussion about something we heard on the news; About a girl who wants to be taken off life support but the parents don't want to blah blah blah.. Anywho, we all agreed that the girl is only suffering more and should, in fact, be taken off life support, in which, I went on to use the phrase "They are only prolonging the inevitable." Who knew that such a simple phrase would have them both Stop ;Look at me in amazement; and then one of them blurted out "You're very smart.." My only reaction was a blank face, followed by a roar of laughter, and one question "WHAT??" It became even funnier when they kept repeating the phrase and getting tongue tied on the word 'Inevitable'. My 2nd co-worker proceeded to say "I would have just said 'the b*tch is gonna die anyway' but that sounds much nicer."

Safe to say I left McDonald's with a stomachache from laughing so hard. Gotta love good old NY ignorance. It's what makes our city so interesting and a place where there can't possibly,ever, ever be room for a dull moment.

That's all .
