| Awesome! Love the concept of the video. Those license plates in the beginning looked Swedish  --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- "There is no such thing as laziness.

|  Being half Swedish myself, I am proud to say that Sweden rocks!  Döm ej allt du ser, Tro ej allt du hör, Gör ej allt du kan, Säg ej allt du vet, Förtär ej allt du har, Låt ingen veta vad du har i hjärtat eller pungen. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| I speak Swedish fluently. One of my favorites: "Smaken är som baken. Delad." So what is your story man? Mine is this: Mom=Swedish Dad=Washington D.C./ Jewish Both were on vacation in Italy when they met (what are the odds). I am a dual citizen. I lived in Sweden for a year when I was 2, and two years when I was 14 years old in Avesta (Dalarna). Other than that I have lived in the Washington D.C. area and now Seattle. However I have visited Sweden at length almost every summer since I was young. This year will be the first 4th of July I have seen in over a decade!!!

Mom = Irish My grandfather (dad's father) was a Lutheran Minister in Massachusetts, Maine, and Connecticut. That side of the family are all Swedish Lutherans, as my ancestors immigrated to New Sweden, Maine on ships. . . My great-great grandfather started Gustav Adolph church in New Sweden Maine, and my great grandfather was once the First Selectman of that town. . . Anyway, my roots go back pretty far. . . | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Do you feel your view differ from mainstream America because of your Swedish background? Do you get back there much? --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- "There is no such thing as laziness. Laziness is only lack of incentive."

 Furthermore - some people (from my experience, anyway) tend to view Swedes as some exclusive white race or something (you know - blond haired, blue eyed people), but everyone in my family has brown hair and brown eyes. . . On the other hand, I am proud of my Swedish heritage, and wouldn't trade it for the world. . . Anyway, we all have our own heritages and are proud of them, so I don't view mine as being any better or worse than anybody else's. As far as traveling to the country of Sweden - I have never been there (would very much like to, though; I will probably take a long extended trip over there some time after I leave college). I've been to New Sweden, Maine several times, however. . . Someday I hope to go back there and get back in touch with my roots (may even retire there, who knows). | ||||||||||||||||||||||
