cherrylula

I've been down here for over two years now, SE Louisiana, and it really took me a while to embrace and figure that out. Its been difficult, but nobody wants to hear my So Cal libertarian views down here. It sucks, but I had to break away and tell myself to keep my mouth shut, and just realize I will not live here forever. No conversations about politics, religion, or anything too controversial about society. I keep my mouth shut, and it isn't always easy. Everyone is mostly pro-life, and they think marijuana if legalized would ruin society while they stir in their alcoholic delusions. I think the twisted nature of this place is even something that intrigues me, but they'd want to burn my ass if they knew the real cherrylula.

Its really a shame, because I really do like a lot of things about living here. We don't have kids yet, but I tell myself if we do make one, we have to plan to get them out of here well before junior high age because there is no way we can instill our liberal views in a child here and expect them to grow up all fine and dandy and fit in. Never gonna happen. It scares the hell out of us!

Congrats to you and your children, that is a beautiful story.

I can't wait to see how an African American President changes the racial issues down here. There are actually people still crying reparations and some waiting for Katrina aid to get them an apartment (because they think George W Bush hates black people and somehow owes them).

I've seen young black guys in ghetto areas wearing OBAMA t-shirts that have like bling bling looking artwork on them. So I hope that now that he won, they'll actually pay attention to the fact that while he may be African American like them, he is not a thug.

It is amazing how this really is going to create so many changes around the world. It is in itself a reparation.
