One blog post, 3mins. I am determined to get to sleep tonight. I haven't been able to very well the past few nights because I keep thinking about my future but that is a whole other long-winded entry. Which might never come because I never have that much spare time in one go.

Anyways, I came home the other night (Jon scared the s*** out of me) and we're all sitting around talking, pretty normal but they start to talk about asians in north america, what it means to be first generation or second generation or whatever. I couldn't contribute to the conversation whatsoever. Everybody in Ireland is fully irish because it is one little single culture bubble. I have never struggled with racial or ethnic identity because I am white always having lived in a white world. And you know what....I don't think I am at the advantage. Because I look at the peeps in this conversation and every single one of them probs has a better idea of who they really are than I ever have. Growing up it would seem like I was 10steps ahead, now that I am older I'm back at 'go'.
