i am addicted to the sopranos. i have only watched the first season but i am hooked. its strange, they have been criticized for being "anti-italian" and i guess they are, but i'm hooked anyway. THere are certain parts of my people they portray perfectly, just subtlies, certain words, mannerisms, than make me fall in love with each character. it reminds me a little of the community i grew up in.
then i think about all the italians i work with and how many of them i hate! yeah and love i guess. some carry our ethnicity with pride, without being disrespectful, they dont make me so embarrassed. i dreampt i went to italy last night, i dreampt i finnally got to see this old country my family always talked about. i was riding an underground train there. The whole boot was mapped out like a manhattan map. I kept wanting to get off and see this foriegn place but the train wouldnt stop. When i finally got of the train, i was in sanfransico. when i woke up i realized i know near to nothing about where my family came from, i know so little i cant even imagine what its like. That makes me so angry. i see this place so badly. i cant ever seem to escape this place.
