Things I wonder about.......

....... So I've spent the last few days, really thinking about some things that I don't understand.... I haven't come up with any answers on my own, so I thought I'd throw it them out here in "blog" world!!! :) enjoy!!!! hahaha
Why is it that a boy and a girl can't be friends without everyone thinking they're "sleeping" together...... I know..... I got right to the point on that one HUH???
Why is it that people feel the need to burst the good news of others?? One of my friends announced she was preganant the other day, and immediatly people started with the negative comments, someone told her that people shouldn't have kids after 30, appearantly it's not safe.... REALLY?? I can think of a few people who have had kids well into their 30's and so far they're happy and healthy????
Hahaha...... This one happened today, I'm still not sure what to make of it..... I heard that "all" hispanic people, ok maybe they said Mexican, ;) are un-educated people who immigrate to the U.S., and live off of the welfare system, oh and I guess we also ALL go to college for free..... there was more to their argument, but this was the "gist" of it.... all I could say was, "REALLY?? last I checked my familly worked hard for what we had, and although we did immigrate to the U.S. my parents were NEVER on welfare, they both spent YEARS working hard to make sure that their children had everything that they needed, and last I checked I worked hard to put myself through college." Their reply???? Oh we didn't mean "YOU," you're one of US, (with what seemed like smirks on their faces)..... My reply..... UMMMM.... NO, last I checked I was one of "them," since I had nothing else to add, I walked away, I did get an apology or two, but that only made me feel worse...... and even as I sit here I want to believe that it wasn't directed at me personally, but I'm having a hard time believing that!!!
Ok so as much as I didn't want this to be a "venting" blog, it looks like that's what it turned out to be...... Oh well I do feel much better now though!!! :)
