So true for white parents ;D ;D ;D

#17 Hating Their Parents

This topic ties into a number of other posts, but there is no denying that white people hate their parents. What is amazing, is that as a white parent, there is nothing you can do to prevent this.

If you are a strict parent who makes your kid have a curfew, do homework, and not smoke weed – then you are almost guaranteed to have them scream at you, write poems about how much they hate you, relate to songs by bands from Orange County and Florida.

Eventually, they forgive you and thank you for the tough upbringing, but still resent you because their high school experience wasn't a carbon copy of the OC or My So Called Life.

On the other hand, if you are a super laid back parent who lets your kid go to parties, drink in the house, and you smoke weed together, you are only delaying the hatred. Because these kids eventually end up doing something stupid with their life – dropping out of university, trying to become a painter, or spending time in a Thai prison. At which point, they hate YOU for being too lax and not caring enough.

But take note that this hatred can be used for gain. White people love to talk about how much they hate their parents, so if you are in a situation where you need to gain a white person's trust, ask them about their parents. But under no circumstances should you try to one up them, regardless of whether or not you were an orphan, abused, or watched your parents get shot. If you bring this up, the white person will never talk to you about their problems again, and you will be unable to gain their trust.

so my dude is moving to brooklyn (a four and a half hour drive) in less than a month. i'm going to be in new york (a ten minute subway ride) in august.  i haven't mentally prepared myself for this.
i am feeling good because, let's face it, i'd rather be best-friend/boyfriend-less for two months over 4 years, but i haven't mentally prepared myself for this.
also he's anxious. i'm anxious. we're both stressed out. and i don't really know what to think/do/say/feel/act.

:-[ :-/ :-?

[capt. scotty]

is he moving there because of you or for another reason?

[FACE]

....both? boston is depressing. new york is rad. more friends up there (in addition to a girl friend and a meal plan...) free studio to record in. connections.  cheaper apartment.
a number of things. i like to consider myself on top of that list, but i can't say it's just me. it's been a struggle, logistically and everything too. it's freakin' me out. i'm freaked out.

[capt. scotty]

so you're anxious because you wont see him for a couple of months mostly? and moreso than moving to a huge city?

my recommendation is just relax and let the days come as they do. I didnt really prepare myself mentally when I first moved for college and was sick in the stomach when my parents drove me out there, but once I settled in after a few days, it was great. I know I didnt move to NYC, but I dont think you can really do anything about being stressed about the move aside from try not to worry about it until you get there, and then do whatever you need to do once youre there to get comfortable

as for the guy, its only 2 months. its the summer, itll go by faster than you think. it might not be something youre used to, but you can always talk on the phone to him and stuff.

dont worry, be happy   :)

No need to fret Jenny, I'm certain you two will handle things fine.  Get through those first two months and you'll be laughing.  

Also, I want a girl to call me her "dude."    8-)

I've been daydreaming about New Orleans so much lately.  And obsessing over this Dr. John album isn't helping.

That's a VERY hard album to find. I know. I had it until an ASSHOLE came over and stole it from me. Can you believe that ? This guy was a friend of mine. This is the same fuck who turned me on to MMJ on my birthday about 5 years ago....

I daydream about NO all the time. The food. The ambiance. The SOUL of that city.

I really want an f'n muffulleta and a cafe au lait with a sack of beignets right NOW. STAT.

Get out the pans, don't just stand there dreaming, get out the way
Get out the way

Line up a long shot, maybe try it two times, maybe more
Good to know you got shoes to wear, when you find the floor
Why hold out for more
Asking you nice now, keep the mother rolling, one more time
Been down before, you just don't have to go no more
No more
