Our fourth born son, and second born daughter, would have been 4th generation Texans, but were born in IllInois. So they are what is called Texitalians. This fourth generation Texan 'stuff' is important -- to Texans.

It turns out if our kids' mother is 100% Italian, off the plane in Chicago 1979; and I am 100% Texan born during a tornado alert in Ft Worth, TX ... moved to Chicago in 1979 -- for adventure and work, after college, we are a mixture of EURO-rashly with Trailer-brashly tendencies. However, the first thing Chicagoans would say to me in 1979: "Why don't you get back on that egg beater you rode in on, and go home?" [and, other versions of this sentiment] ...

Now if I were making a case for eHoarmony, I would have to mention 29 dimensions of compatibility. Thanks to your lucky gods, this isn't a ad release for that limitation. But I bet that a person born in Ft Worth, TX, and living in London who fills out an eHoarmony rag sheet, will still be tagged compatible to a person born in Lufkin, TX, also raised in Texas but now living in Japan. Improbable you say?




But you will have to listen to about a paragraph about birth order and lingering sentiment; if you don't understand the nuclear family structure this Empire is built upon. It was repeated in the movie ALAMO by Billy Bob T as Davy Crockett: "Texas is wasted on the Texians."
Here is your Wampum's worth of Texas-style Psychology: "Where there is appeal, there also beat frail hearts in silence. T'is a song and a word of encouragement that makes one's very next heartbeat fill the void that is a human soul. Differentiated in the human spirit, which after all said and done, is the eternal portion given each -- across the troubled way of our journey through the wilderness... we become aware of our choices."
"Then and in another heartbeat of humble, sentimental layered ri'tard, our minds flutter, filled with realizations that serves to settle us again on level ground. When we offer up our sacrifice that upon our own demise, we wish very much to give back to our Creator what has been given to us... a price of eternity, or in human understanding the price of Freedom, and that is TEXAS." (pdaf; hunh?)


That wasn't so bad... eh?
