Ugh! It's great to be Irish and all, but I hate the commercialism of it. Sure, commercialism isn't the right word, but I'm sick of people bragging about it in such a condescending way! "I should get the last piece of pizza, because I have the luck of the Irish!" Or then there's, "Kiss me, I'm Irish!" What about the non-Irish? What about me? WHO'S GOING TO KISS ME, HUH?
OK, sorry. I've had that monologue for a while, I wanted to say it somewhere. The only thing I agree with in it is that I want to be kissed. I'm like Drew Barrymore in that movie where she's a reporter that's never been kissed, and when she's disguised as a high school student who's never been kissed, she has a lot of trouble being liked by people: in fact, she's never been kissed! I think the movie was called, "The Reporter disguised as a High Schooler".
Anyway, what was my point? Oh yeah, everyone's Irish. Because everyone is everything. Back at the beginning of human existence, people just "got together" to reproduce. It doesn't matter where a person's from, it's just an excuse to be proud of yourself.
OK, I'm overreacting; and probably lying. I'm American, German, Italian, Ukranian, and Slovak. But those are just my confirmed heritages. If you go back past my great-grandparents, allllll the way back to the beginning of humankind, I'm whatever. So are you. I call it Pangean, beause the world was all one island called Pangea, and we were therefore all from the same place.
Actually, I really don't mind having a heritage. But aside from being proud of the ethnicity of your past, I don't have any reason to think it matters so much. Well, maybe there's something, I could just be forgetful right now. It seems like just another way to classify someone. Being a "Freshman" automatically makes you low-class. But why does it have to matter that way? Now I'm a "sophomore", which means I supposedly "think too highly of myself when really I'm not too hot, since there's two years left".
OK, I guess my real point is that I like heritage, but not the stereotypes that come along with it. Wow, that sentence sounds much better than my whole post. I'd edit it, but too late, I've revealed myself.
