[QUOTE=RaDiOhEaD_fAn]Yeah he needs to get the blame for eveything :D He ruined football (the real one, not the one where a bunch of guys get padded up head to toe and run into each other) with all his money.

Speaking of which, I hope all you Americans are making an attempt to get to some of the football matches being played over there at the moment. See the likes of Liverpool, AC Milan, Porto and the scum (Man Utd). :thumb: :naughty:[/QUOTE]

Man Utd was just here on Wednesday night... I was going to tell one of my friends who lives in Canada about it, cause he likes them, and he is in NYC for the weekend.. hoping to bribe him to come down to philly.. but I forgot.

Traffic sucked... I was on my way to get my brother/ and come home when the game was letting out. I took a different way home and ended up in a nasty section of philly.. I've done it before, but things change so much when it's dark out.. both me and my brother were like.. "Where the F are we?!!?" :lol:

My Parents are from Buffalo. My mom wa just there visiting her mom a few weeks ago.

:)

Buffalo isn't that bad... if you can stand the smell... although, I'm sure it can get boring there? I dunno... Nothing is boring for me when I tell people where I live. They start to back away. :lol:

Someone: Oh, where are you from?
Me: I'm from Philadelphia
Someone: *backs away* ohh.....
Me: That's right bitch! :angry: Back away from the Philadelphian! :lol:

It's funny... because my parents are from buffalo and I was born in Ohio, even though I've lived in Philadelphia for 17 years.. I don't sound like I'm from here... or even NJ where I spend alot of my time. Now, you get your accent from your parents.. not neccessarily where you live... because you learn to talk like your parents.. therefore you take on their accent... but I have an "unidentifiable" accent. Because it isn't Philly, isn't Jersey, Isn't Ohio, and Isn't buffalo... But my parents sound like they are from Buffalo.. just toned down a bit. :S Linguistics can be weird.

Whenever I tell everyone all the places I've lived in they usually just laugh at me :upset:

Anyone who has ever been to Barstow can tell you why.

Well, I'm bored, so I'll share a little background about myself...

I have no accent, well, not a true one. Although after years of listening to hockey analysts, I have acquired the use of such words as "organ-I-zation", "aboot" and "eh". Taunt me all you want, eh! :p

My parents are from this very town I live in... yeah... small world... I wasn't born here however. I was born in West Allis, WI; a suburb of Milwaukee.

"aboot"... LMAO! Throw in a few "ya sure"s and a couple "You betcha"s and I'm right there with you. :D Gotta love the upper Midwest!
