LOL Kell,

funny you should mention that, and that is actually a good part of history.

When I first came to the states. There were only three choices:

_white, _black,_other

now, when I was young and defiant, and angry, and a rebel...I always added my own space...it used to make my teachers mad during the first days of school.

we are such a rainbow of people now, and there are alot of beautifully mixed people that it is hard to define it.

My best friend at the time, whom I really really miss and screwed up my friendship with, was a mutt, he called himself.

Indian, black, Irish, French, and others. He felt left out as did I and I think that was one of the reasons why we became best friends cause we lived in the a very racially divided town...

anyways, these days, there are more choices in the forms, and now that I am not angry and young and crass anymore, I actually add in _other...

LMAO...............

Well put, Cindy. You know, whenever I fill out any type of paperwork/application or even just a survey sort of thing I notice that there is always a section to tell what race or nationality you are. It's always optional but I just can't see how that information is necessary. So......I answer the question anyway but I always check the "other" box and then put "HUMAN". That's what I am - I am of the human race. And I believe that's all that matters. :)

I was born on March 8th. International Women's Day. How's that for part of history and moi being there?? I wonder if that is why I am such a cry baby (yikes, I can just see the daggers now, whachu saying moi, that women love to cry? Taffy will slap me all over the place.... ;) )

speaking of Band Aid, nappy. I loved it as well, but always cracked up when Dylan and Petty started to sing cause I didn't know who was whom...

then We are the world came out after that. And then, Farm Aid.

whatever happened to those unity stuff?

Interesting how history of the music industry have now evolved into the Britney Speares and the "moi, moi, moi" era....musicians used to write about the world, now they sing about "don't you wish your girlfriend was more like moi..."

there are good ones out there that care, but they get buried under all the other selfish ones....

interesting....

I remember when Moi came out of the lab, half robot cat, half monkey....

:cool:

yeah and then they put an energizer battery in him and he keeps going and going ........

July 25, 2008 - ECONOMY - Think Progress

"Home foreclosure filings rose 14 percent in the second quarter, the eighth consecutive quarterly climb, and more than doubled from the same period a year-earlier, real estate data firm RealtyTrac said on Friday."

Home foreclosures were up 121 percent from a year earlier "amid the worst U.S. housing market downturn since the Great Depression."

here's a nice history for you, brainy (see if you can guess this one)

in 1996, a song was released with this phrase:

""And if there is a way to find you I will find you/but will you find me if ____ makes me a tree?"

please name the singer and the name of the song.

Now, after that, it is followed by this trivia:

what is that phrase/song pertaining to? and who was that sentence dedicated to?

(there is a number 3 but the first two will have to be revealed first. LOL ;) :D

*sniff*sniff...but you would've loved this one...well, I think...*sigh...LOL

"And if there is a way to find you I will find you/but will you find me if Neil makes me a tree"

singer, Tori Amos

song: horses

she was referencing to Neil Gaiman, who wrote Stardust.

he wrote in Stardust, a large tree with red leaves that talks.

the tree was in reference to Tori Amos.

and I was going to play with "Death" and "Sandman" and "American Gods" and "Liliam" *sniff*sniff

should've done it backwards but then I know you'd know and it would've been too easy... LOLOL

OK, 60's...

let's do it Jeopardy Style:
