Awake and it is way too early. The rest of the house is asleep and all that can be heard is the ticking of the clock and the sound of my cousin snoring next to me. It is shortly before 6am on Sunday and the song "Look after you" by the Fray seems to be on continuous play in my head.
The get together was really nice yesterday. My Uncle and I got a chance to chat about some rather important topics. Funny thing is that my Uncle is more like a father to me than my Dad ever was. Anyway, we were talking about the demise of my previous relationship (I dated a Spaniard for 4 yrs; relationship ended a year ago). He made some remarks concerning inter-racial dating that really resonated with me. I have a tendency to date outside my race and now realize that it was pure naivete on my part to believe that as long as "we loved each other", we could conquer the world.
Sad truth is that the World will forever judge you first on what makes you different and once that is determined, stress those difference until you surely break and break you will if you are not strong enough. Am I being a romantic sap? I do beg your pardon if I am and can only highlight the fact that I slept for 4 hours as a possible excuse :)
Memorial day weekend parties continue. I'll keep you posted.
