...and yeah, I know you wouldn't touch us with a ten-foot pole...

...'Cause we're North Americans....

My dad, my brother and I went to do our citizenship interview this morning at 7:30 AM.
I described what happened to Gabi this morning...

BigLouBeats says:
bueno, me pare a las 5:30 AM para salir para alla me eche un bano y bueno salimos mi papa mi hermano y yo
BigLouBeats says:
llegamos ahi en punto como a las 7:05
BigLouBeats says:
hicimos una colita
BigLouBeats says:
y te revisan....te mandan a dejar los celulares en el carro
BigLouBeats says:
y despues te montas en un ascensor....
BigLouBeats says:
lemme tell you about this ascensor
BigLouBeats says:
regular looking elevator right....
BigLouBeats says:
except....
BigLouBeats says:
it has a button
BigLouBeats says:
it says "W"
BigLouBeats says:
and a label covering it
BigLouBeats says:
that says "NO"
BigLouBeats says:
needless to say
BigLouBeats says:
i wanted to freakin press the button
Gabi says:
LOL
BigLouBeats says:
but i didn't cause God knows what's on the "W" floor
BigLouBeats says:
maybe the gates of Hades or something
Gabi says:
jajajajajajajajajajajaj
BigLouBeats says:
anywho...after obsessing about the button (what does "W" even stand for? Way down? Water level? What?"
BigLouBeats says:
they sit you down in a big room with several other people...and they call your name
BigLouBeats says:
we werent even there 6 minutes and there was a dude calling my brother....and then a minute later they were calling me
BigLouBeats says:
my dad stayed waiting
BigLouBeats says:
so the guy walks you to this office
BigLouBeats says:
and i mention the elevator button
BigLouBeats says:
cause i'm obsessed and i'm trying to get "insider" information
Gabi says:
LOLOLOL
BigLouBeats says:
and he's like i dont even know what's down there
BigLouBeats says:
i was like...oooo kkkk
BigLouBeats says:
anywho
BigLouBeats says:
that helped break the ice though so he starts laughing
BigLouBeats says:
and it was pretty relaxed
BigLouBeats says:
so he has a set of questions....have you been in jail?, are you psychotic?, do you owe the government some money? in case of a national emergency would you help out?
BigLouBeats says:
and my answers were: no, no ( up for discussion ), not yet, and give me a gun and orders
Gabi says:
LOL!!!
BigLouBeats says:
so perfect....he asks me a couple of those civics questions ( no 13 states, whew!)
BigLouBeats says:
then he says: read this question here #6
BigLouBeats says:
so i do
BigLouBeats says:
and then he says....write this:
BigLouBeats says:
"I have a big dog"
BigLouBeats says:
i'm like....::chuckles::
BigLouBeats says:
ok...
BigLouBeats says:
so i write
BigLouBeats says:
and here comes the most difficult part
BigLouBeats says:
i need you to sign your name here, here and here and here
BigLouBeats says:
but!
BigLouBeats says:
you need to do it in cursive writing and as legible as possible
BigLouBeats says:
cursive?! i haven't written like that in like 23 years!
Gabi says:
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ
BigLouBeats says:
anywho....i stumble across the signatures
BigLouBeats says:
that came out surprisingly good
BigLouBeats says:
and he stamped my paper
BigLouBeats says:
and told me i would be called in a couple of months to do the oath ceremony
Gabi says:
:D

And to celebrate...Here's my new theme song by LCD Soundsystem:



Viva la America!!!
