    Yesterday was forth of July, in my neighborhood it was a big deal. Three day ago while at work I met this African American who was from LA, he described my county as being 'country'. I would not exactly describe it as being country although it is marketed as wine country.. It is more rural urban.. So anyway the fact that we fall in the 'country category, 4 of july is really a big deal. I live in apartments in the outskirts of the city and yesterday it looked like all the residents had taken time off.. I have never seen all of them at home like that, it has always seemed to me that they are always somewhere pursuing money


    One of my neighbors from down stairs, one Californian born Californian bread white man of about 70something decided to throw a barbeque party. He tries very hard to keep social with me, in fact at one time my ol'lady got worried that he may be in fact a child molester…. I actually burst out laughing considering how not a child I am.. Plus he is somewhat cool, he drives a 1950 something el Camino. One time when he was replacing his battery, I got to look at his trucks engine and saw he had put in a HOT ROD air filter.. Really cool...So I was invited to the party although I did not attend, that day I was not in the mood to hang out with the drunk neighbors.


    I had noticed earlier in the day he had hung an American flag from our balcony, you know just like the average patriot he is.. During the barbeque they kept on talking about the American revolution, they were making a hell lot of noise and I would hear them talking about the American revolution.. During the day he played the Kenyan cd I had given him. It was really cool to hear one of my neighbours, some chic who work s for the company that owns our apartments saying that she wanted to get the sana sana track for her ipod.. It got me thinking of how good some Kenyan merchandise is and how and how they would have a huge market outside Kenya…


    Well, I am moving in a few weeks, I have to do some planning.. And that means me getting off the internet..
