"I wanna Live I wanna Give, Ive been a Miner for a heart of gold"
Currently Listening: Neil Young, Harvest Album
Well I got off early the last to days of work, so its daylight when i get home, its really quite exciting...right now im sitting in my closet sized room trying to think of things to write here...ill start with this...I work with two Samoans ladies, Luisa and Tulipe...We get along tremendously minus one small detail...I cant flippin understand them half the time...the Samoan accent when speaking english tends to trail off halway thru the sentence...This is what ill hear..."Jordan! go get .....hmmmla.....cups...thhss....(fading to nothing).....So i asses the situation...I can do three things...I can ask them to repeat, I can ignore until repeated with clarity, or I can guess at what they said and face asked possible rejection...In the begining I asked them to repeat or guessed...our friendships blossomed....We are at the point where i purposely fade my sentences when talking to them....Now this is not to simply dog on the Samoans at all...im simply pointing out some cultural differences that happen to frustrate the living crap out of me. Its actually rather entertaining to worth with Luisa and Tulipe...they talk crap about me in samoan and i throw as many spanish words towards as i can muster....I didnt learn jack from Schlueder ( North henderson inside fact)..I think i will create a tv show about Interworld plastics...A complex drama that is suprisingly boring...
"Its gonna lift you up and let you down"
Currently Listening to: Jack Johnson, Hope
