(no subject)
today i went to church, and i accidentally went to sleep for about 1/2 an hour but imma pray for myself tonite. then i went swimmin at mi abuelas. but the high/low part of my day is the part when we went to dinner. it was the most racist thing i ever experienced and didnt realize it until after. our waiter(who was caucasian) came and asked me...well here's how the convo went.
him:"and wat would u like tonite sir?"
me:"i would like..."
him:"the chicken"
me thinking:"how did he know"
him:"am i right?"
me:"...yes, how did u know?
him:"please sir. everyone knew when u walked in the door that u wanted the chicken."
so the lesson is sometimes u'll be a victim of racism and not even know it. so be on the lookout.

Title: Charlene
[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote
She said she's tired that I'm always on the road
To hard to swallow being alone
She needs someone at night that she can hold
She must have told me a thousand times before
Silent cries I use to ignore
God knows I love her
Didn't mean to hurt her
[Chorus]
Baby I'll be
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again
I won't leave
Promise I'll be here to the very end
By your side
To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life
Come on home to me Charlene
[Verse 2]
She knows I really love this old music thang
Since I was a child it's been my dream
I can support her treat her and spoil her
You know buy her the finer things
But I forgot about loving her
Damn the money, diamonds and pearls
What about the hard day she had with the baby
All she need is for me to love her
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Promise I can't live without her
God knows I need her loving
And it hurts so bad that's she gone
I pray that she'll come back one day
In my life
[Chorus]
Oh oh oh
Sometimes I cry
Charlene if you're listening would you call on me
Because my heart is aching
