What's Up?

I figured since I was in the New Orleans area and it's like more than my home.. maybe Ellen DeGeneres would be jealous or envious of me cuz I experienced a peak time of living there as far as being progressive yet holding onto old wives's tales.

I do admit to seeing Pennsylvania as a whisper of history, a hint of something, like maybe you think of England.  I think it rivals the New Orleans area.  They are the top 2 civilizations people deal with.  New York is already on a stake.  I don't feel it so much biologically as my dad is the only parent from there and the area, New York, Pennsylvania, and like New Hampshire and Main.. Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky.

I keep seeig people from the Northeastern coast who cling or ban together and make me awful jealous.  You know New Orleans is outta New England?

Then, there's Wisconsin, Michigan.  I don't connect so much to the past with places like Wisconsin.  I have relatives in Cleveland.  I just don't know if it's through Pennsylvania.

What do you think of Ellen being a bit explosive about it, just saying..  About - I forget.  I mean in general about where you're from.  I mean being like a fire cracker.  Like, usually, you'd say that someone has a fair shot.  Something got into her.  I think what she is supposed to be is from her mom New Orleanian and her dad intelligent being European from Europe.  People with a dad from Europe are very caring and able to care.  They are on top of what's important in life.  They may not sense what will happen when they burn out.  Her job is to be smart and caring.  That's no fun, how else is it.  You know, though, her dad supposedly isn't from ancient New Orleans, just her mom.  I can't believe how different it seems it is today.  I never meant any harm but thought I was in harm's way.  I mean, I've already lived there.  A lotta people wanna go there, but I mean I am from there.  I lived there since 12 until 20.  I cannot do so much Floridian stuff, but I remember "what it was."  That's how I do it.  If you like Florida, I mean, the people from up north are there, and I know you'd like some of them.  True, they are dangerous.  Miami is Latino mostly so may be a paved way.  I think if the ancestry weren't so important in another place, you could say you have heritage there.  Yup.

Though, I wonder what New Orleanians have to offer.  There are lots of them and they are hospitable.  Well, at least in Slidell.  I am indeed 1 of many native and relocated Slidellians.  It seems to depend on when you moved.  It seems most people there are from somewhere else in the area.  There are also some possibly from there.  I just don't feel as comfortable saying where I'm from cuz it's so special I realized to others..  I do go out and when I saw them it was totally different.  It was cuz I didn't live there as a kid.  In Florida, it seemed like a melting pot, I guess.  It seemed very big.  People go there for the beach.  That's why I wanna move, to see the beach, but I can live without.  I respect people with heritage in New Orleans, but there are many bitter people there apparently who are upset they don't have relatives as far back.  They are bitter to new people like me.  I seem built in Jacksonville with my heart in Miami.  But, I have a lot of features of Slidell.  It's weird.  Maybe, my brother is more from there in that way.  It is a bit apparent and simplified.  I wish that I could find any person at all to go to Jacksonville with, to make friends.  It would be a nice weekend excursion.  Imagine moving around where you live.  I would like to get to go there myself.  I dunno what the cause would be.  Too bad I'm no traveling talent.  In Slidell, I had a wish for that.  I wanted to be a star talent like in Florida, in a way.  I just didn't feel as accepted until I went to high school.  I was also there in 7th and 8th grade at a Catholic school.  Interesting time of life.  I was into musical theater.  I made friends with teachers.

I have a feeling a lotta people don't care, but it's interesting to me, then.  I think there's something I should say but don't know what it is.  I feel as special as Britney Spears.  It was a thing for kids with older parents, so my life was not all that in every way.  I wasn't a part of the Slidell culture until I came home from college in New Orleans.  I felt like I was a part of the New Orleans culture more than Slidell.
