Scary but true...Frankenstein syndrome.

Think about this for a second...people say we are what we eat, but in reality we are who we know. Sitting back and looking at everything that has went on in my short life, it is obvious that my family has created me. This includes creating my mentality, my body, my brains, everything.

Mentally- Well, when growing up we never actually see ourselves being like our mothers, or our grandmothers. In reality, when we finally hit a stage in our lives (I would say about 24) we start to notice. We are indeed like them. For instance, I caught myself using words that my mother uses. Also, I caught myself treating my friends like my mother treats her friends (in the way of mannerisms). I also saw myself treating boyfriends like she treats my dad (in a good way of course, but not in a gross way). It is like that word your friends say all the time that you start saying. I would call that the Frankenstein Syndrome...

My body- When aging it is VERY obvious that my genes are molding my body. Things my mother has, and her mother has, I now it is my turn. Not everything, but usually if I have a health problem arise, I call my mother or grandmother, and she tells me "Yeah I have that to, it is in your Genes" . Of course I do not have very many ailments at my age, but it is clear to me that the Frankenstein Syndrome will get me sooner or later.

My Brains- Sometimes I feel like my mother has pretty much brain washed me. Political views, and social situation views do not differ between us. WE AGREE ON EVERYTHING. I know that I have a free spirit, and I am allowed to have my own views. This is why the fact we have the same views on these things really interests me. Learned behavior...or what I call Frankenstein syndrome.

Well this is a first...a blog...interesting. I am from upstate NY, and it is strange to see how people communicate outside of the Adirondack Mountains. YOU MEAN INTERNET...WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? Regardless, I moved to Washington DC in 2006 when I graduated from Plattsburgh State University. I am not sure how many of you know where that is...but look it up, I think you will be surprised.

I had to get out of that small town. The transition was very interesting to say the least. In the first couple of blogs, I will write about the difference in culture. Believe me there is enough to write a 500 page novel.

But first, let me tell you some more about myself. I have a BA in political science (a shit degree unless you know some one). I am a strong headed, and very energetic type A personality. I love my family, and I love myself. Right now I work in the stock market (zzzzzz), not really my cup of tea, but it pays the bills. I have one brother who I can talk about for days. He and I have many differences that you may find interesting if I ever have time to blog about him. My inserpations in my life have been my mother & , my Papa(long passed), my grandmothers, and my favorite Aunt and Uncle Gisclair. These people are incredible...strange how things work out, I remember really wanting to smack everyone of the above when I was a teen/college student. Now I realize, that things they have done have molded me into this person. They have created me. I am like there frankenstien. If you think about it, we are all frankestiens created by the people who influence us the most. I am sure some of you may get a kick out of my life...I would like to say it is normal, but what is normal anyway?
