You know....ive realized something....

[Shadow1]

no matter what you do in life, someone's comments can always effect you in some way. make you think differently. make you ponder about it. and then later on down the road, it effects you in some way, shape or form.

its kinda like you saying that your not racist. i cant say that im not. because i kinda am. everyone is to some extent. think about it. after the 9/11 attacks happened, didnt you look at anyone from the middle east differently? you cant say that you didnt. im sure if you were at an airport and you saw an Iranian or a Afgan, you thought in your head "i hope they dont have a bomb." or if you lived in an all white neighborhood and you were black, the 1st thing that would come to your mind is "i bet if something happens, like if someone got robbed, they'd look at me 1st."

now, since i was in middle school, ive started to listen to rock bands like Linkin Park, Korn, Godsmack, and lately ive gotten a little deeper into rock(sort of hang banging music. lol) like Mudvayne, Slipknot, and System of a Down. but i still listen to some "pop" music like Justin Timberlake and Madonna(yeah. i said madonna. get over it.). both make music that i like listening to. everything that JT seems to make has a good beat to it plus he's kinda paired up with one of my favorite artist, Timbaland. Madonna seems to make dance and techno like music like her song "Jump" and "Sorry". and the moment someone hears me listening to any of that music, im suddenly classified as a "white boy". all i can do is laugh and walk the other direction.

lately ive began to wonder why i listen to the music i do. then i hear stupid songs like stuff from that idiot Lil Wayne and crap like that and i realize why i do. hardly any of the songs i listen to talk about how many hoes they have or how much money they got. its f**king annoying. its like they're rubbing in my face that they have more money than me.


i listen to Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Daft Punk, Rhianna, Paramore, and i still listen to some of Michael Jackson's songs. so what? should i be labeled a "white boy" because of it? last time i checked, hardly any of the "white boys" i know dont even listen to that kind of music. i find it insulting to be labeled basically a trader of my race because i dont always listen to idiot who talks fast and calls it rap.

idk. maybe im losing myself. ive been questioning alot of things about myself lately. i just got a promotion at my job(im not a shift manager), i got my cb black(the color ive always wanted it), im better than my brother for once in life(all my life ive felt ive been just a spec in his shadow.), and i got a hot g/f that other guys want but cant have, i got my friends all over the east coast, i have a car crew, but for some odd reason i feel like....idk....

I can stay I'm not racist at all. All my friends since birth have been from different countries and cultures. I have friends that were from Israel and pakistan and they told how people looked at them and treated during that time...i myself never thought or treated anyone from the middle east any differently.

As far as music...I listen to everything except Country but prefer rap/hip hop and r&b...you know stuff like what idiot Lil Wayne make s
Several years ago i wouldnt listen to anything but hardcore rap but I met this chick (Jamaican) who opened my eyes to music...got me listening to punk, pop, trip hop, etc and i actually liked it.

thats understandable. shoot. i got all races of friends. i couldnt just be stuck to just one race. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Tagalog(is that language or the race? lol), white, black, and even a couple of Ricans. ive always likes going to schools that had a diversity of students. once i got down here to NC, we had 6 white kids, 2 spanish, and the rest were black. that was a school of like 450-500 students. i hated it. i loathed it. and it doesnt help with the mentality that down here either.

but its not just about being racist. its classifying someone because of the type of music they listen to, the race they date, the religion they're apart of, or how they were raised. its pitiful that the world is like that.

I used to be racist, against anyone who wasn't white.
It's how I was raised.

But, entering high school, I matured.
I now have many black friends, one of my best friends actually is Muslim.
I had a black girlfriend in highschool, but I couldn't mention her in front of my family.
It makes me sick to think I used to be the same way, I just wish everyone could get over the color of others' skin.

[Flatline]

In all reality, it's all the little things that make you who you are. each person is different in many ways. Of course your classified as "white boy" because your white.

I still think it's too much for people right now NOT to classify. Not to point out the difference between you and them. Not flaunting what a person has would remove a small reason to have it. At least for some.

Some people have things solely to show it off. There is no reason to lift an '80's Monte Carlo and put 33's on it. All it is is someone showing off how much money that have to throw away. Or to look like everyone else around them.


What you feel is PROBABLY boredom. You are somewhere secure and you have what you have been trying to get. Kinda like losing your motivation.

Just keep improving on what you have in your life. Add to your CB to make it better than it already is. Work hard at work to move up. Work on making that girl yours forever, if thats what you want with this hottie you should post some pics of.

I feel like this on every day off i get. No money to spend, thus nothing to do. I just zombie through the day until something happens.

I feel bro but I'm a big black dude so i get stereotyped all day but I could care less. I listen to my Linkin park and shit in my car all day, people look at me confused but it doesnt affect me I wear pink polos, I wear sneakers with pink, I dress preppy sometimes, I dressed urban most of the time. Its hard to understand me but sometimes I dont understand myself sometimes. I hate being place in a "categrory" hence the reason i dont put myself in a category. I'm Jamaican and most people would never know because I dont express the certain characteristics most people say ALL Jamaicans have. Dont let what people say get to you bro,do like what Yeamans said, take it like a grain of salt.

[JoshM]

Of course your classified as "white boy" because your white.

Shadow isn't white.

Shadow isn't white.

I seriously wrote "im totally guessing" in () after that but i thought i didn't need to..... oops

x2 Is sn is Shadow j/k

[Shadow1]

You gotta take what people say with a grain of salt. I've found that 90% of the time when someone has something negative to say its because they're hiding something they are ashamed of.

Thats how I've looked at life since I was in junior high, and thats how you've got to look at it to keep your head on your shoulders.

yeah. ive tried doing that all my life. i changed the type of clothes i wore in school to see if the insults would stop. they didnt. 2hrs after they complimented me on how good my clothes looked, the insults started again. so i decided from then on to care less what anyone said about me. i used my art as an outlet. it helped me put all my anger into my comics and pictures(nothing extremely violent tho. lmao.) and that helped a lot.

maybe i havent drawn in a while and thats why its kinda built up. i have today and tomorrow off. maybe ill go try to finish my interior on my cb. that'll help a lot...

yeah. i was kinda the same way too. anyone that wasnt black, i didnt hang out much with them. but then i started to realize other races acted more the way i did than my own did. lol. im a kind hearted person and wont fight anyone unless they draw me to the absolute edge. if i told someone of my race that down here, they call me a pussy.


but thats another reason why i like the tuner world. you dont have to worry about race. its about being a car enthusiast. if your in the right crowd of people at least. if not then its about if you drive the same kind of car they do and every other car sucks.

People look at me funny when I listen to some Grandmaster Flash, or even worse the B52s.

Who cares what they think? I listen to all kinds of music. Michael Jackson and Madonna included.

You need to get me a copy of the grandmaster flash Gary, I broke mine I dont know, I never act strange or surprised when i see people from other races listening to urban/black music Look at my buddy Bohn...he's Cambodian and we have the same exact taste in music. Sunday when we were at Felipe's crib doing a little grilling we were jamming like crazy.

naw. im not white. lol. as ive told everyone who's called me a white boy, "im not black. im just extremely dirty. i havent taken a shower in like the 22 years ive been alive."

x2 his sn is Shadow j/k

lmao. shadow is what i want my car to be in the night. im kind of a stealth person. having my car a bright neon green or something like that just attracts too much attention. more power to who does it. but its just not me. plus id have to pay like $1k for that and on my DD? not happening.

i want my car to be the car you dont expect to be fast, then when im down the street faster than you can get into 3rd, i want to see that look on your face the of "OMG. i just got beat by a family car."

[JoshM]

naw. im not white. lol. as ive told everyone who's called me a white boy, "im not black. im just extremely dirty. i havent taken a shower in like the 22 years ive been alive."

I literally laughed out loud at this one.

i was trying to figure out who grandmaster flash is. so i went on youtube.com and found out that i already know who he is. just havent listened to him a LONG time. lol. then i realized that i havent listened to any oldies in a while. lol. i used to listen to War when i was riding around with my dad. i like it too.
