I was there Saturday and explaining the phenom to my friend i was with...I think the "Guido" in Cleveland thing is a mere result of Cleveland not being big enough to stand on its own two feet culturally/ the rise of social networking. The east coast italian-american culture- not really having much of anything to do with actual Italy or being Italian- created itself organically in a contained fashion, devoid of media cxoverage. It became "cool" (depending on who you ask) and with the rise of Myspace circa 2005-2006 and the whole Gotti show "italian" kids in Cleveland and places like Pittsburgh, etc. saw how people acted on the East COast, associated that with a default "italian (american)" culture i.e. how one "should" act to embody ones italian-ness. <br /><br />truthfully, there's really no reason for it as it's not Italian culture anywhere, it's East Coast italian-american culture thus anyone around here doing so is just trying to carry themselves in such fashion. Also interesting, granted there are much fewer Italian-Americans down South, but there were almost no "guido" types around there. Actually, I was confused as a New Yorker on occassion cuz of the dark hair and i wear collered shirts and never flip-flops....<br /><br />I find it rather silly. <br /><br />p.s. per the post, inclusion in this post about the diet stuff and how you feel you might have recoiled from accepting advances from men lately. A lot of guys will go through something very similar where they don't even bother trying to approach women/get their #'s/whatever but it's frequently tied to more financial type situations (think George Costanza). <br /><br />hope your summer's been well! <br /><br />Cheers, <br /><br />MGMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16420160269889261355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231669418519694533.post-22037306621841406802009-08-17T11:40:48.569-04:002009-08-17T11:40:48.569-04:00Lilly -- I know, right?
