Culture Shock Remix - Live your life
Okay well went to a party yesterday, a family friend had her after wedding party, loads of arabic music, didn't understand a word but great songs, not confident to go dancing in front of a bunch of strangers but had a blast whilst helping clear up with dancing away to the beat, still need to work on the basics of arabic dancing, meh ... practice, lol
But what concerned me what the talk of quite a few folk, at a marriage event so yes it was all about the marriage, "why?" if you're not, "no kids?" if you was, etc ... lol. however the concerning point was how bitter some folk get because they're not married ... I was like woah, we're here to celebrate a union not to ponder in bitterness as to why the guys out there might be losers
I'm not contesting that there are a lot of demanding people out there, I am most likely one of them. Someone recently said to me would you marry a person who your parent chose, I said that I probably would. My mum has always put her children's best interest at heart. So who am I to believe that I have more wisdom then her in life. I know next to nothing about the way a guy's mind works. I only have the little brother and I doubt it's a good thing to base all guys on his personality.
My opinion has changed at various stages during the years and I hope that I've grown. However rather then blaming the other side (yes it's amazing the feminist that I am is saying this, however feminism is about equal not unequal rights) I consider that perhaps it means I need to improve my own character, and maybe learn how to cook. Although one chap did actually start learning to cook from his mum because I couldn't, ever so sweet and he's gained an extra life skill. (No don't ask me what happened, it happened years ago and hopefully he's got married to a lady to whom he can besotted with). Which shows in itself that we do make excuses to not get married, yes it is a lifelong commitment but we should not be so unreasonable that anything and everything becomes an issue.
Oh well forgot what else I was going to write and would just like to mention a big thank you to all my lovely friends diverse as they are for always having the ability to make me smile!
