So my blog is outed. My students became my Twitter friends (I never use it anymore, so didn't think anything of it). Well I forgot that my blog was my website listed. I've only had one student admit to reading it, and he said he wouldn't tell anyone about it, but I may have to go private if it does get out.
When I saw that he had read it I freaked out and immediately read all my past posts. I mean they aren't the cleanest, or most public, but as I told the student, if I didn't want my life out in the public I shouldn't put it on the I internet.
Now follow my tangent...
At the bar this weekend, I met a guy who said he knew I was an Ahole. I was a little thrown off guard, insulted (I'm so not) yet flattered (just glad not to be a goody goody), but I decided to just go with it. Apparently, I give off an attitude? Well when I go with it I really can be quite an ahole. Anyways, one of the things this guy was complaining about, about me, was that I liked Bahrain. First of all, to each his own, but I'm sorry, you are not allowed to judge me and my country, pick one.
He couldn't get over the fact that I thought it was a lot like America. I go to school, the mall, watch movies, go out to bars, wear what I want, buy what I want, I really do think it is a lot like America. So while playing my "role" I said he must really miss his girlfriend. That would be the only reason he couldn't appreciate the awesomeness around him, he was hung up on what he left at home.
Because that is the only thing Bahrain is missing, my friends and family. I'm not going home on Friday for food (although I want bacon and home cooking if Joan is asking). I'm not going home to buy things I miss (although I plan on doing some cheap shopping while I'm there). I won't go directly to bojangles when I land in NC (although if joe reed wants to split a boberry biscuit i wont turn him down). I won't rush to see an unedited movie (but i want to see Les Mis). I will hug the necks of everyone I see though. I miss people.
Well anyways, this guy said he didn't have a girlfriend, he just thought Bahrain was a dustbowl of nothing to do.
Well when you insult girls as an introduction I can only imagine how much positivity you have in your life.
So lesson: only put info on internet you don't mind people knowing. Think positively about everyone around you and your surroundings. Hug everyone you love as often as you can. It is important to make sure everyone knows how much you love them.

You know that is a thing right? Negging? Trying to insult you when they first meet you. It is a pick up thing. Be flattered friend. Have a safe trip home. If you fly thorough CLT, Bojangles is in Terminal B.
