WHY DO I CARE ABOUT BIRTH ORDER!? I'M AN ONLY CHILD!!!

A FEW WEEKS AGO WE READ AN EXCERPT FROM A BOOK ABOUT BIRTH ORDER IN ENGLISH CLASS. MY TEACHER LOVES TO TALK ABOUT THAT. BUT AS AN ONLY CHILD I WONDERED, "WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS GOT TO DO WITH ME?" I DON'T FIT INTO ANY OF THIS. I AM MY MOTHER'S FIRST AND ONLY CHILD. I'M PRETTY SURE THERE'S NO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ON THAT!!! BUT WHILE READING THE EXCERPT OUR PROFESSOR GAVE US (BIRTH ORDER AND SIBLING COMPETTION) I FOUND OUT THERE IS SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ABOUT US!!! OUR SCIENTIFIC NAME IS SINGLETONS, WE EXPERIENCE CHILDHOOD WITH NO SIBLING COMPETITION AND NO PARENTAL DISCRIMINATION. THERE IS A QUOTE IN THE READING THAT STATES THAT WERE ARE "...CONSCIENTIOUS AND PARETNAL-IDENTIFIED, AS WELL AS... EXHIBITING ABOVE-AVERAGE LEVELS IN ACHIEVEMENTS" (DUNBAR, 304). I AGREE WITH THIS BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS DONE GOOD IN SCHOOL AND I'VE BEEN ABOVE-AVERAGE IN CERTAIN SUBJECTS. BUT I ALSO KNOW ONLY CHILDREN THAT DO NOT FIT THIS DESCRIPTION. SO NOW I ASK MYSELF "ARE THESE BIRTH ORDER RESEARCH PAPERS REALLY AS ACCURATE AS MY PROFESSOR SAYS?"

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPANISH GUYS AND BLACK GUYS

I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO PISS OFF A LOT OF SPANISH GUYS AND I JUST WANT TO APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE. I JUST FEEL THE NEED TO EXPRESS HOW EXCITING AND UNIQUE BLACK MEN ARE. A LOT OF SPANISH MEN ARE SEXIESTS AND IMMATURE. THEY ARE ALWAYS FIGHITNG AND COMPLAINING ABOUT WOMEN. BUT BLACK MEN ARE STRONG IN CHARACTER YET LAID'BACK AND NOT SO ARGUMENTIVE. SPANISH MEN CAN BE VERY UNATTENTIVE AND SELFISH. BLACK MEN ARE THE OPPOSITE. THEY'RE ARE ALWAYS THEIR TO HOLD YOU DOWN. THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE AND CAN BE SENSITIVE WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE. SPANISH GUYS DON'T ALWAYS KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. BLACK MEN ARE ALSO VERY GENEROUS AND CHARMING. MOST SPANISH MEN ONLY DO THAT WHEN THEY WANT SOMETHING IN RETURN. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS A LITTLE HARSH BUT I'M JUST BEING HONEST AND SHARING MY EXPERIENCES. THERE IS MORE TO COME. STAND BY....

INTERRACIAL RELATIONS

I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE CONTROVERSIAL BUT I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT. FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS OF MY LIFE I'VE BEEN GOING OUT WITH A SWEET AND VERY SEXY BLACK MAN. AT FIRST EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY. MY FAMILY IS VERY AGAINST DATING PEOPLE FROM OTHER NATIONALIITES. BUT I HAVE AlWAYS BEEN THE REBELLIOUS ONE. I WAS ALWAYS BORED IN MY PAST RELATIONSHIPS. THE MEN I WAS INVOLVED WITH DIDN'T SHARE THE SENSE OF ADVENTURE, THE CHARISMA OR THE CHARM TO KEEP ME SATISIFIED. UNFORTUNATELY, THOSE MEN WERE HISPANIC. BUT GETTING INVOLVED WITH MY CURRENT MATE HAS BEEN A DAILY (VERY INTERESTING) ADVENTURE. HE IS SO CREATIVE AND SINCERE. OUR RELATIONSHIP IS RIDE OR DIE. WE WOULD DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING FOR EACH OTHER. I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE EVER HAD A RELATIONSHIP LIKE THIS WITH SOMEONE FROM MY NATIONALITY. I WOULD NEVER HAVE HAD SO MANY INTERESTING EXPERIENCES AND LEARNED SO MANY STIMULATING THINGS. BUT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. I'LL HAVE MORE TO SHARE NEXT TIME. JUST WANTED TO GIVE MY BORICUA GIRLS AND MY OTHER LATIN SISTERS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT....

THINGS WERE SO DIFFERENT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER...

I HAD THE FUNNIEST CONVERSATION WITH MY 10 YEAR OLD COUSIN YESTERDAY! HER NAME IS MARIA AND SHE LIVES IN MISSOURI. SHE CALLS ME YESTERDAY TO INFORM ME WITH MUCH PRIDE THAT SHE BEAT THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF 3 GIRLS IN HER CLASS. I ASKED HER WHY SHE DID IT AND SHE TOLD IT ME IT WAS OVER A BOY. APPARETNTLY ONE OF THE LITTLE GIRLS BOYFRIENDS BROKE UP WITH HER TO ASK OUT MY COUSIN MARIA. SO THE THREE LITTLE GIRLS CAME UP TO MARIA AND STARTED BOTHERING HER. MARIA AS HIGH STRUNG AS SHE IS COULDN'T TAKE IT AND SMACKED ONE OF THE GIRLS. THIS MADE THE OTHER TWO GIRLS JUMPED IN, SO MARIA CHOKED ONE OF THE OTHER GIRLS AND THE OTHER ONE RAN. I WAS LISTENING TO HER SHOCKED. WHEN I WAS 10, BOYS HAD COOTIES AND LITTLE GIRLS ARGUED ABOUT DOLLS. BUT NOW A ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FIGHT SOUNDS LIKE A SOAP OPERA. THIS IS JUST TOO FUNNY BUT AT THE SAME TIME SLIGHTLY ALARMING...

CRAZY RICANS STRIKE AGAIN!!!

I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYONE CAN BE BORED WHEN BEING BORN INTO A PUERTO RICAN FAMILY!!! MY RELATIVES ARE CRAZY AS HELL. MY LITTLE COUSIN GOT IN TROUBLE ONCE AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE BAD HABITS OUR FAMILY HAS. EVERYONE IN OUR FAMILY HAS THEIR OWN SILLY NICKNMAES GIVEN BY CERTAIN RELATIVES. SOME OF THESE NICKNAMES ARE DUMB, BUT WHATEVER THEY'RE STILL NICKNMAES. WELL WHEN MY COUSIN JOSE WAS LITTLE HE COULDN'T PRONOUNCE MY NAME. HE ALWAYS USE TO CALL ME VACA, WHICH MEANS COW IN SPANISH. HE'S OLDER NOW, HE COULD PRONOUNCE MY NAME YET HE STILL CALLS ME VACA. HE WAS TELLING HIS CLASSMATES ABOUT HIS COUSIN "VACA" YESTERDAY WHEN THE TEACHER THOUGHT HE SAID A CURSE WORD IN SPANISH. MY COUSIN PLEADED WITH THE TEACHER AND TOLD HER "IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK. IT MEANS COW IN SPANISH, MY COUSIN'S A COW!!!" UNFORTUNATELY, SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE IT AND MY COUSIN GOT SUSPENDED FOR CURSING. I SWEAR HE WILL NEVER CALL ME VACA AGAIN.

TODAY IS A SPECIAL DAY!!!

HISPANIC COMEDIANS VS. AFRICAN AMERICAN COMEDIANS

MY GRANDPA AND I ARE ALWAYS DEBATING ABOUT HOW FUNNY (OR NOT FUNNY) HISPANIC COMEDIANS ARE. HE LOVES WATCHING HISPANIC COMEDIANS ON T.V. HE WATCHES SOME RETARDED ARGENTIANIAN VARIETY SHOW DAILY. ALL THEY TALK ABOUT IS GIRLS, SPORTS AND SEX. ALL THERE JOKES ALWAYS END UP WITH SOME GUY GETTING CHEATED ON OR A BAD DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT. AFRICAN AMERICAN COMEDIANS JUST NEED TO STAND ON A STAGE AND OPEN THERE MOUTHS. THEY TALK ABOUT ALL KINDS OF SUBJECTS AND LIFE EXPERIENCES. EVERTYDAY LIFE IS FUNNY AS IT IS! IT'S COOL THAT THESE COMEDIANS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. MY GRANDPA HATES IT WHEN I WATCH COMEDY CENTRAL! MY FAVORITE COMEDIANS ARE DAVE CHAPPELLE, KATT WILLIAMS AND CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER. WHEN I WATCH THOSE GUY I CAN'T HELP BUT FALL OVER LAUGHING! MY GRANDPA CLAIMS I DON'T LAUGH AT S[ANISH JOKES BECAUSE I DON'T GET THEM, YET I SPEAK PERFECT SPANISH!!! EVEN COMEDIANS LIKE CARLOS MENCIA, WHO DO STAND UP I ENGLISH I DON'T FIND TOO FUNNY! WAT DO YOU THINK!?!?
