Puerto Rican blurbs on every day life.

*Debbienote: Hooray, Existentialist philosophy. This was posted the Saturday after Thanksgiving (we had the entire week off for Thanksgiving break). In class the week before, we started off by reading “No Exit” by Jean-Paul Sartre, and later that week we read some of his actual philosophy. Just pick and choose anything of his to Google if you want to read more; it’s all amazing. I’ve also blogged here before on “No Exit.” I absolutely love the play, and if you have the time, I actually linked you to a PDF of the entire play, hosted on my site, Foonville (look, I’ll even link it again in case you get lost). It’s pretty short (47 small pages) and it’s a very easy read. It’s a play in one act (so even if you’re like me and you don’t really like reading plays, it’s still a great read). If you’re into philosophy at all, you’ll love it – especially if you’re into Existentialism.

“I have family drama, too,” I tell her. “In fact, my family is far from perfect.”
“I know your family’s not perfect,” she responds flatly. “I’m not saying mine is, either. That’s not the point I’m trying to make here.”

My great grandmother, who preferred to simply be called Grandmother, was some of the only family that I was exposed to when I moved here on September 23, 2000. She was the only family my mother seemed to approve of my keeping in touch with… even then, I received mixed signals from my mother. A ‘loving home life’ with ‘lots of communication’ is somewhat of a foreign concept to me. Sure, I saw cousins from time to time, but only with my sister – and even that was something that changed over time.
