Having an accent.

I grew up in the South. This may come as a shock to you, because I seem so laid-back and haven't mentioned anything about Southern ways or politics or anything. I'm saying this because it pertains to my having an accent. Some think that I have a very noticeable accent, but I cannot see it. I have one in some words that I pronounce, however for the most part, I sound like I could be from anywhere. this is strange, because most of my friends have noticeable accents, yet I do not. Last year I went to visit a college in Washington that specializes in engineering, and I tried an experiment. While I was eating lunch at the cafeteria, I said a southern word as I left. When I took my tray to the garbage, I said, "bye, Y'all." They freaked out. That's the only indication that I was southern in any way, aside from the fact that I said that I was from Texas. Besides that, I left no linguistic (big word, I know!!) traces that I had any accent. It blew their minds, however.

I apologize for the lack of content, but I was originally gonna write about something, but I forgot about it, then I was going to write about Pandora, but I found that I had already posted about that. I kind of did this in the spur of the moment, that's all. However, I have not regrets because, after all, this is my blog.

Random Chuck Norris Fact

Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.

'Tis True.

Chiristmas, X-Mas, Happy Holidays, whatever!!

I'm tired. I'm tired of all the politics.
I was at work today, and I was setting up all of the Christmas decorations for the department. While I was doing this, I got to thinking. Every Christmas I hear about some legal litigation about if it's political correct to say 'Merry Christmas' or 'Happy Holidays' or some variant. This is not what the season is all about. It's about the coming together of people to care for each other more than at most other times during the year. Just kidding, I don't care what other people think about it. I will say whatever I want. I'm not on any specific side in this Christian vs. Non-Christian crusade, to aptly put it, I'm against the whole controversy. I'm tired of hearing about it.

I don't want this to become a rant blog, so I will end with this: Merry Christmas!! Haha!!
