Hope This Rookie Does Okay.
I decided to finally write my first blog. I have been hesitant to write one because I wanted my first one to be of some significance. But if you really think about it just making it through a day here is significant.
I recently moved, and not a crosstown move but a cross country move. I have traveled a lot and one thing I always noticed was that no matter what ethnicity or religion or financial class people are - most people are the same. It's not like I'm a bigot or anything. But just like everybody else I do find myself subconsciously stereotyping people. Not necessarily bad stereotypes but stereotypes nonetheless. Like for example, I thought all Japanese people were highly intelligent. I would see a person of Japanese descent and subconsciously I would think they was super smart. Then after becoming friends with some I realized they were just like me. They were as dumb and dorky as I can be at times. They laughed at all the stupid things or stupid jokes I thought was funny too.
The move cross country I thought would be a piece of cake - no problem. The thing I didn't take in effect was though people are the same all over, people's interests, likes and hobbies are different. Not that I'm saying one is better than the other it's just not the same. I think that's how it is in the United States. You have the Midwest, the South, the New England states, the Pacific Northwest, California, NYC, the Southwest, The Plains and the Mountain states. I think what most people find fun or interesting in each of those regions are all different from every other region. Again I don't think one is better than the other. No matter what region I lived in I would be having fun doing what I liked or whatever the 'in' thing there was or something either my grandfathrer or father taught me.
Cities are even different. The city I moved to is so much different from the city I moved from. The people are the same. Hell, people here are friendlier. The difference is the interests and happenings of what the city offers. Most people I met here have no interest in my interests, which believe it or not is okay. I find everything interesting. I like new adventures. It's hard though when you lived so long as one way to go somewhere new where everything and I mean everything is completely new. It may sound like I'm bitching and complaining, I'm not. For the most part I do like it here despite missing my family and friends. And at times I have gotten homesick , I just want one person here in this town who knows what I'm talking about.
The funny thing about this blog was that I was going to tell something entirely different but instead this came out of me. I wanted to just say something about my day and then put it in the 'humor' section. I'm happy that it did come out this way though. I actually feel better talking about it. I'm not the greatest of people but I like who I am. Being myself has been pretty good up to now so why change. I can only be me and if you are real how can you fail no matter what region you live in.
Thanks for listening,
