Personal Time

Just want to jot down something really quickly. 

I was tweeted something funny the other day, and then I realized that the situation that I was in wasn't really humorous at all.  I was eating out at the local Filipino store in Memphis.  I sat down in the store to eat, and as I was eating the Filipino guy changed the channel from TFC [The Filipino Channel] to BET [Black Entertainment Television].  What's so funny about it is that [almost] the exact opposite happens when I go to the barber shop [located in the hood].  Usually when I am sitting near my barber [lady], she'll change the channel from BET to something like MSNBC or CNN [it must be my glasses]. 

I tweeted about this and then came to realize that this was yet another sign of me being different.  It was another example of how I'm not fully accepted by either side of my biraciality.  Being a person of such diverse background is most definitely a double-edged sword.  At times I have the best of both worlds, and at times I have nothing of each. 

Super Happy Joy
