| Bio: | "By simple definition it is a person born and raised in Chalmette. By our standards it is the center of a community that is strong. It is knowing or being related to at least half of St. Bernard Parish. It is knowing where the drive-in used to be, many years ago. It is knowing what is meant when someone ask if you are going up da road or down da road bra? It is being part of a simple life and loving where you came from, and never wanting to leave. Not even for a cat 5 hurricane. And knowing that you can't wait to come home again, because there is no place like home, and there ain' t no substitute for St. Bernard Parish and Chalmette. This also applies for Arabians, Merauxvillians, Violations, and Down da-Roaders." LionParent1 - http://www.nola.com/forums/stbtownhall/index.ssf?artid=347072 I was born and raised in a little town just east of New Orleans called Chalmette in St. Bernard Parish. My house was just a 15 minute ride to the French Quarter, yet it felt like I lived out in the boonies. The culture of the city was VERY different than what I grew up in. I always felt like I was different from most people in my home town because I wanted to explore the rest of the world. I moved to Houston at 20 and back to the New Orleans area 2 years later. A year after that we moved to Lafayette then after a year there we moved back to Chalmette for a year. I moved to Tampa in Sept. of 1998 and to Gibsonton (just outside of Tampa) in 2005. I'll be here for some time as this move involved the purchase of a home! My home town was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. While I lost no material possessions, I feel like I've lost my home town. Those who have moved back are struggling to regain some semblance of normality, but it will never be the same again. Many of my family members have moved to other areas nearby. St. Bernard will never be the central location of the family again. I am married, have been since Dec. 13, 1997. We’ve been together as a couple since July 5, 1993. The 1993 anniversary is the one we tend to put more focus and emphasis on. I don’t wear a wedding band daily though I have a little cheap ring that I’ll put on when I go out clubbing without my husband. My husband does the same thing. I don’t think we are a typical couple but nothing in our lives together has gone "typical" so why change what works? Politically I'm a staunch centrist, social liberal but financial conservative. I honestly think that anyone who is extreme left or right are just quackers and shouldn't be in office. If ever you've had to deal with opposing view points you know for a fact that the end result is in the middle. The extremists are forcing people like myself to either just stop giving a shit (voter apathy which both sides blame on the other) or we look for some one outside the two major parties. A revolution IS coming, it's neither a liberal nor a conservative revolution, it will be when common sense and COMPROMISE (you know, the thing the USA was BUILT on) come back into the political arena. I will debate politics to a point. If I think that no good will come out of it then I won't debate. If I think that and honest and open exchange can take place then I will; this doesn't mean I think that anyone can be "converted" to the "other side" but it is good to learn the views of others so that we can understand each other and be more tolerant of our differences. If you want to counter my argument, please do not use op ed pieces, just the facts. I also have decided that if a debate starts in my journal it will stay in my journal; if you want to debate me, then do so in my journal. | |||||
