one person living in two diffrent worlds

Ok so im sure if you live in the 21st centruy and have ever walked into walmart or turned on channel 78 the first thing you thought of when you saw my tittle was "Best of both worlds" hannah montannas thing but thats not what I mean. No i am not secretly beyonce or have a blond wig but I live in two cultures. As you might know if your reading it my parents were born in tanzania. Zanzibar to be exact. Zanzibar is a tiny tiny little island wish could be debated as a state or country. Depends on who you ask but since I believe my daddy, its a state. And they grew up in a whole nother culture. Its not the same as here. And so there are some things that we dont relate on and henth that i dont relate on it either. If I had to pick one culture im most like it would probably be america. Im more american cause ive lived here my whole life and I love it. I like being an american. And I like being an african too. And ive never made the mistake of speaking swahilli when I should be speaking english which ive seen people do. Im fluent in swahilli though and I must say one of the most annoying things of telling people that is they freak out and look at me like im albert eninstien or something. And then they ALWAYS I mean ALWAYS ask me to say something in swahilli. And thats when I hit a blank. I never know what to say. So I say something dumb like your hair looks nice. And then their like no say this. And every once in awhile it goes on and on and on. But anyways I dont know why im complaining. This blog is pretty random today. And next im gonna post this song im writting. Anyways thanks to the readers
