In life, we can either let our experiences make us bitter, or we can channel that feeling towards being a good example in order to improve things.

where you from

Have you ever gotten weird guesses from people about where you are from or who you are.


I've gotton some interesting guesses from people. One person, some years ago, asked me if I'm from Italy. Another person asked me if I'm hispanic. And yet another asked me if I'm from Pakistan, which is weird because my skin is very light.


Anyhow, for anyone who's curious, this is me as a simpson character

Now that's interesting. I get vague comments ("Where are you from?" "Oh, you just don't sound like you're from here") but no one's ever placed me in a different country.

Not really I must admit, although when i go to israel all the cab drivers presume that anyone speaking English MUST be from NY and out some names of their long lost relations ;) And I'm often told that i'm not typical for the area I live in (talk about stereotyping!) On the other hand i've had 10 years knocked of my life by some ppl (5 by others.

hey there my bunch of friends, as you can all see, i finally, (after saying a half a dozen farewells and satying on) I finally left the scene, I am gone (so far so good)

I have said all i have got to say, about the pros and cons of blogging, in my posts, So i wont go on again here.

I miss you guys, you have all left a positive impact on me, and I will try to hop by every now and then to check you out, and say hello.

PLEASE NOTE My email address and google account have been messed up, and I cant get in, it doesnt recognize my password, and when i try to solve it they say the account doesnt exist, so i try to create a new account with the same name, they say name is taken.... go figure.

"smiling.dreidel" and then u add the "At Gmail dot Com" (written so to avoid spammers)

Wishing u a kosher and happy Pesach
