Monkey Way -- Oct 19, 2018, 7pm PDT Monkey Way Thinking about Monkey Girl. A monkey girl who can run, jump, swing, and climb trees - or very agile. Any or all of the above. When I was young, I used to climb trees in Germany. I was born in a very green environment, very tall trees, full of moist air, building towers, German decorations, and bratwurst - the world's best hot dog ... at the time. ( I think they're still one of the best.) I loved winters because of the white snow all around. I didn't mind the cold, but liked being cold while soaking in warm-hot bath water in the tub - like especially after almost being frostbitten on my feet and then soaking them in hot water. Gosh that felt good. Freezing your tail off, it felt good soaking in the bath tub for an hour in hot water. Primarily an American, I came back to America to stay, after being in Germany for about a decade. I'm a peculiar one: I'm an American, born in Germany (on an American military base), I look mostly Asian, though seem Mexican to Mexicans and Filippino to Filippinos. I have a mixed nationality of: White, Black, Chinese, Thai (with some Cherokee Indian). Mexican or Asian? I'm often mistaken as Mexican, even though I'm Asian . This could be natural if you have darker skin. I read some history. There's an 'accepted' theory of history. This theory could also explain the similarities of Mexican, Asian, and Indian people. Between Alaska and Asia's closest tips, there is a very small gap (you can look at any map). It's about 55 miles apart - I can easily drive that distance. The water between them in the gap is called the Bering Strait. Mexican people are actually Asians. The primary characteristics started as the same, but probably after a time took on different characteristics. It could be that, Indian and Mexican people are a primary source of where we started, and even more the Asian people. If everything else fails, just remember it's said all men evolved from the origin of a monkey. Girls, what do you think? So, I think one day there would be a long 'Golden Gate Bridge'-like structure there, across the Bering Straight - maybe to remember, reconnect, and to strengthen our ties to human history. May even help commerce. African American For my skin color, I'm not sure it's polite being called "yellow". So, I'm not sure how many people take it being called "black" or "white". (Remember I'm partially "black" and "white".) I think "black" people prefer being called "African American", and "white" people prefer to be called "Caucasian"? (I'm not sure. It didn't enter my interest, because growing up I was never seen as or called "black" or "white".) Saying "African American" every single time, which is really long to say. For "African American", instead can we say: Or Afr(ic)a - (A)merican = Aframerican More practical? Maybe a little easier to say. Colors Between two primary colors, there's a secondary color (and colors like pink). Between steam and ice there's liquid. Between winter and summer, there's spring or fall. Between front and back, there's a middle. I'm not saying it's better but rather there's usually a valid blend between 2 things. I'm mixed, and I think it adds more variety. I believe what happened in the past decade was an important moment. (Today is a great day too.) Although, I didn't think what happened would happen any time soon; To have a first African American President - a first in our history. I thought we would have a first woman president before we would have our first African American president. What a change to see the openness of having women and African Americans running for President. These are great times. Besides that, prime colors yellow and red also makes Halloween. Have a Happy Halloween!! (If I said anything wrong, remember this is just a blog.) *Update: 10/20 7am - Added things, corrected mistakes| 8pm | 10/24 8am
