samantha.sterling: for some reason, i don't remember that
but it seems reasonable
me: the whole thing should have been about the border
I went to Juarez a number of years back
8:30 PM now it's so fucked up even I wouldn't go there
samantha.sterling: what were you doing in juarez?
8:31 PM me: friend of mine was moving to California and I went with him and flew back
we stopped in El Paso and went to go party in Juarez
there's a border crossing there
place was already really fucked up even then
now it's among the most dangerous places in the world
8:32 PM like, worse than Baghdad

samantha.sterling: wow
me: same with the area around which my mom grew up elsewhere on the border
8:33 PM samantha.sterling: you said your family came from england, originally...how long have they been in texas?

Texas Republic

8:36 PM samantha.sterling: interesting. none of my family were in this country prior to 1900
me: where is your family from?
or, what places
samantha.sterling: 3/4 russia, 1/4 lithuania. i'm fourth generation american on one side, third gen on the othere
other
8:37 PM me: huh, figured you'd be something else from Sterling
samantha.sterling: we actually think that my great great grand father changed whatever his russian name was to sterling when he came to this country
to make it sound better
me: right
8:38 PM well, it certainly sounds good
samantha.sterling: i like it
although there is some stupid porn star with my name
me: lol

samantha.sterling: yeah you got me
8:45 PM me: eating fruit?
samantha.sterling: not at this particular moment, but yes, in general, i eat fruit everyday
8:46 PM generally strawberries and grapes. sometimes apples, clementines and blueberries
me: Mirna and I are eating an orange
8:47 PM and then I'm going to go across the street and buy additional oranges
for eating purposes
samantha.sterling: what else would you do with an orange?
me: throw it at a fascist
samantha.sterling: oh yes, you could do that. but eggs would be better
or an apple even
8:48 PM me: eggs are valuable protein
you're right about the apple
8:49 PM ah, apparently we're going down the street to smoke our friend's weed
then
I'm going to play a computer game for the first time in a month
