I came here from StumbleUpon where you wisely added your own blog using the foreign film tag.

Who cares? Be a citizen or don’t. If you like the US more, be a US citizen. If you like Trinidad more, stay a citizen there. I don’t know why you care about what “line” you have to go through, but you are definitely overthinking it.

Did you choose to be born in Trinidad? It seems to me that the way one should identify oneself is by the things they’ve chosen, and not by what came by random chance.

I know the process, been there..done that…said the oath..got the passport.

The feeling however is as you describe a strange self actualization that you are or may not be as “trini to the bone” as you ascribe to be..

But then you go wine in a fete and all that goes away
