speech

I have been sneezing non-stop for a half hour now. Dammit, I hate Texas sometimes, but most of the time it's okay...

Anyway, it's been a while since I've actually wrote anything in my blog. I think the main reason is that I can't write worth a shit. I don't see how Scribe can pump out all those blog entries as fast as he does and keep them interesting. I can barely write a paragraph without obsessing over the wording and punctuation. Mainly because I've lost my grasp on language.

Right now I'm in a limbo. Since I'm from up north, I speak differently from everyone down here in Texas, but I'm slowly developing a Texas accent, I'm saying words like y'all, leaving out pesky words like "is" and "to". Like the other day, I caught myself asking one of my co-workers " This gonna go in back a' yer truck?".

Since I'm Mexican and work construction, Spanish is something I've had to pick up. I still need to learn a lot, but I'm getting to the point where I can understand and speak a little bit. But all that has had an effect on my speech too. So I find myself placing nouns before adjectives, saying things like "more up", and alot of other things I can't think of right now.

Combine all that with the fact that I stutter and you can see why nobody understands me when I talk. But somehow I manage to get what I want to say across. But not without some weird looks from people.

Well, anyway, I'm running out of things to say so I better post this before I start wanting to change stuff and ultimately scrap this whole thing...
