Where I'm From" Discourse Communities piece
I am from Phyllis and Joe who put everything they got into the family
I am from Stacey, Krystal, Kristeena, Casandra, and Savanah, Five sisters who all have independent minds of what a woman should be
From only one twin brother Joseph who is so similar to me and yet sees the world in a total different view
I am from authentic Mexican food
I am from home cooking
From a place that some people would say isn’t the best place to grow up
From a city that is known for its diversity, culture, and glamor
The place that promises fame and fortune.
The place where palm trees bow the head as you drive down the road
and the word Animal style is know as a topping.
From a place I sometimes hate
From a place where people are tan, either by nature or spray on
The place I talked up and defended the honor of living in
The golden state that is worth its weight in gold.
From the alps, the east coast, the taj mahal, and Greece I never think of them as I think of you
From Los Angeles the city of Angeles.
I am from laughing till you cry
I am from empathy
from finding Solace in your life
I am from staying quiet and not seen
From concealing and not feeling deeper emotions
From a place that allows you to have dreams
I am from a religious background that makes you feel guilt for what you done.
From Sundays in church and football in the afternoon
I am from ecstatic, miserable, furious, and not caring all at the same time
I am from a love of old movies
Where everything is black and white and everyone is set to a higher stander.
I am from the good guy always wins
From a strange love for Audrey Hepburn
From tragedy to triumph
From a love of what art can bring to the world wheatear a painting, a picture, a movie, or a song.
I am from the belief that the world is a canvas
From a idea that change the world
I am from showing expressions by more then your feelings.
I am from music being my radar
from the songs of The Beatles changing my life forever
She loves you Yeah YeAH Yeah!!!
to and in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.
From playing guitar to pick up girls to playing guitar as a way to escape reality
I am from wild mood swings from song to song
from record shopping every weekend
from building a collection of thousands of vinyl’s, CDs, Tapes, and MP3s
From listing to music with my head and heart
I am from a time where education is such a hard thing to obtain
From the strange idea of people paying either by loan or out of pocket for a fighting chance to make it in this world with the use of knowledge.
I am from Who you know
Not what you know
From a place that has no promise of jobs
All these things I take in a count
and count on myself to over come them.
I am from strange attractions and awkward conversations
from not knowing what to say
or knowing what to say but ten minutes later
I am from making joke after joke
and laughing at my own jokes
I am from living my life like a out dated cliché
from a era where manners seem rarer then a winning lottery ticket
to saving pennies for a rainy day
and spending a penny to listen to a thought
I am from finding absolute harmony
from looking for the perfect moment
Soft lighting and different angles
From something in the air
and the quiet murmur of the city
Life is simple
Life is clear
Life is simple
Life is clear
life is simple
life is clear
From the top of the world to down in the dumps
I am from trying to understand peoples perspective
I am from trying to figure out peoples way of thinking
I am from not changing minds but influence minds to change.
