White people of America

I have lived a few places in the USA in my short lifetime...Mobile, AL...Tuskegee, AL...West Palm Beach, FL...Southfield, MI...Hartford, CT...Dallas, TX...Washington, DC...and I have had the pleasure of visiting many other fabulous cities. There is one thing I have notice in all of these cities as I have driven through them...White people in general do not have curtains, blinds, shades or even sheets hanging at the windows! Why is that? You may be wondering how I know the people that own the homes, rent the apartments, live in the space are white...because I can see them! Could someone please explain the cultural oddity?

Just last night

So I am in Columbus, Ohio visit my bestest goodest friend, Manika, and her super cool husband, Jason. Last night she made a great chicken taco dinner with ceviche and a lettuce-less salad. They also had another friend, Nikki, over as well as her cousin, Love, for some light after dinner conversation. Everything was going great until the end of the night when everyone left...and I asked my friend, Manika for something for my head ache and she says oooooh have you ever taken an Airbore it was create by a teacher. I said nooooo and she said since we were out in the snow all day that I should take one. Okay no problem...she gives me this big horse looking tablet and just as she is doing it the phone rings...I looking at the pill thinking this thing is really big and I should chew it before swallowing...it smelt of citrus fruit but then I thought it might taste really bad and just decided to swallow it whole...I do and the tablet gets stuck in my throat and I start foaming at the mouth and coughing...Actually I think I was choking and on my way to dying yet again (I have somehow had many near death experiences)...I hear Manika saying oh my God she foam at the mouth I have to go...then she starts yelling and coaching me to "Cough it up Cough it up" after about 3 seconds I do and then she informs me that I am not suppose to swallow the Airbore whole but dissolve it in a glass of water like an Alka Seltzer...WHO KNEW!!!

So I have spent the last few days trying to get my sister's car fixed...The first guy I took the car to at the suggestion of her boyfriend...did nothing!!! And charged me $45 for looking at it. The problem with the car is that it will cut off while you are driving down the street and thank God it is a stick and DC is hilly cause once it cuts off you have to kick start it from 2nd gear. But I found driving like I was in the Indy 500 and never taking my foot off the gas works a little better. So yesterday I took it to a guy my Dad knows you know one of those guys you bring me the part and I will fix your car...His thought was that the motor mounts had worn out which was causing the engine to jump out of place while running therefore causing an electrical disconnect somewhere else in the system. He also thinks the starter and the fuel filter need replacing...I am going to call him now to see if he is finished with the car...

I think the car knows that my sister was planning on getting a new car after she gets her tax return back!!! Her car is a hater...

6. I think I shall find my artsy side...let the inner artist in me shine...let the yellow spot develop in to a sun. I am not sure if my inner artist is a painter, knitter, actor, or something else all together but, I do know that my inner artist is not a dancer or singer as somehow the beat in my head is not the same beat everyone else hears therefore making me appear as if I have no rhythm. Please note that this fact does not keep me from signing in the car or dancing in public.
