A Life SO Ordinary
Sunday, Feb. 23, 2003
Well on Tuesday I'm going to start a bible study with a Jehovah's Witness... you may be wondering why this is such a deal to me. I'll tell you. I'm really not into church at the moment, but i do want a bible study to keep me close to God and other things of that nature. Second, this lady who i will be doing the Bible Study With is "Mel's Jehovah Witness".You see, BL (I'm just gonna call her Bible Lady for right now) has been having bible studies with Mel since about a month or 2 after we moved here. BL and Mel have a pretty good relationship and so does Shan and Me and the BL. She comes over one day last week to visit me and ask me whether I'd be interested in a bible study.
So now she and I have scheduled a time each week to meet and discuss the bible. I'm actually kind of excited so I cant wait to this Wednesday!
Now on to different topics. I just worked on Saturday this Weekend because I'm switching weekends because I've changed job duties.
Did you get all of that? I hope so...
I'm gonna miss working with Agata because she and I get along great. Now I will be working with Lori which isnt necesarily a bad thing, but it will be different. She has a tendency to just blurt things out without thinking so she gets in trouble sometimes.
Ah, Well... you cant control everything as Agata says.
Anyway back to Agata. I discovered that she has, lets say, a strong dislike for Jewish people. Now earlier that same night we had just discussed how I feel about Hispanic men.
I just dont like them. You may think that I'm prejudice, but really I'm not. I can be friends with them, but definatley not date them.
You see, growing up back in Texas we had a large Hispanic population, and i lived in an area that was home to alot of hispanics.
I played with them all day long (the kids) and I had a great time too, but almost everyday that I would walk home from school, let me call to your attention that I walked home from when i was in 3rd to 5th grade, carloads of mexican/hispanic men would catcall me and my sisters.
It was not limited to just school times either; I could be walking to the grocery store up the street or playing in my own front yard and they would do this. And once when me and Mel were walking home a carload of them wanted to take us home... Now granted, they could have been nice, but they started the conversation by slowing down the car to whistle at us first... so that was a big enough clue for us.
Now you're probably wondering how this relates to Agata and her issues with Jews. Well she grew up being picked on and told by the Jews that one day they would own Poland and they would kick out all non-Jews. SO you can see how this has jaded her views of the culture in general.
It's strange to me that that kind of hatred can really exist... ya know?
I just thought that was an interesting piece of info and thought it would be good to share... so i ask you...does this make me prejudice? I mean seriously. I would like your thoughts on the situation... thanks!
