A Half Caste (Samoan and African American) Blogger

My first posts 2020

Hello and Talofa,

Welcome to my blog. I am half Samoan and half African American Black. I also lived most of my teenage and adult life in American Samoa. I am happy to share with you the journey of a Samoan/Black mother with my adult children. I am a new blogger, testing the waters of writing. I hope you enjoy reading what I have to say.


It is so weird to have one culture say as you turn 18 you are out of the house, it is time that you live on your own and spread your wings. Other cultures tend to marry off their children at an early age of 13 or 14. However, unlike the Samoans, you do not have that privilege. As soon as your child turns 18, they can still live at home or they can journey off to any parts of the world of their choice. As long as they pay for it. LOL!


But as a Samoan child, you are always obligated by traditions and culture to respect and be courteous. The millennials as they are called today are the techno-savvy generations. Some Samoan kinds live by these standards that they were raised in, and some don't care. My kids are both. They are what I call half in half!


Some Samoan kids today are more vigilant in the Samoan culture and traditions. I can only say a handful full. As an educator by career choice, I have seen all kinds of poly kids. If they were traditionalist or just modernist. Either way, they are always going to be called Samoan or a poly.


What are you? Please comment below. I would like to know if you are a traditionalist or modernist Samoan person.

HOLIDAY HUMBUG

  What's on your mind today? Alcoholism! That is what is on my mind. Some say it is a sickness, it is a disease. I say it's a pain in the arse, especially to the one that does not consume this devil in disguise. The Christmas that we all know is the celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ's birth, however, the devil in disguise comes in to destroy and torment the minds and devour the souls. Celebrate in goodwill and don't let the demon win. Stop making everyone suffer because you can not control your demons, disease, and faults. Your disease spreads like wildfire, and it kills the souls of many little by little.

Making it Online? Don't believe the Hype!!!

 I am here to attest to the mumbo jumbo that is on the internet today. It feels like a roller coaster. People if you would like to invest in working from home, I suggest you do some real soul searching on how, what, where, and why. Something that can be so easy to some people and most difficult to those who want to learn. Because it is hard. Don't get mixed up in all the hype on the flashy ads and people telling you that it is easy. I really recommend that you go online, youtube, google search, and find out the truth for yourself. Because the information you provide yourself is more helpful to you rather than getting that information from someone else.  This is ridiculous!!! I am challenging myself to search and research all the information that is needed to succeed online.  The challenge is on!!!

Samoan Termites!

 Does anyone have this problem? These termites fly at night as soon as the light in the house goes on. IT IS SO DAMN ANNOYING . Some say that it is going to be really hot or cold tomorrow. Some say it is a sign of bad weather. I just don't know what to believe. It is kind of funny how these so-called termites fly at night, then the wings fall off, then they crawl in the woods (laupapa) of the house. OMG!!! what an annoying insect.  How do you kill these things???? Comment and share.  Eve
