Re: Just wondering, Thought I share and ask
I was hoping for you not to make an arrogant call about how much of an Armenian I am or not. I''l go easy and be nice about it since my brother already called you every name in the book when he saw your post. By the way, that would be the Armenian book...not American.
First you should know, EVERYONE in my family including me the Lieutenant at the Texas highway patrol, have first and non translated Armenian names. My older son has my fathers first name and my fathers first name was Armen. Thats what everyone know him by everywhere. The same with the rest of my family. So not one person in my family has an English first name other than my brothers wife and my wife.
The fringes of Armenian society/community I was brought up in is my parents and grandparents home you are referring to until 12 years ago where I spend everyday I am not on the road working at the Armenian center where me and the "non-Armenian" I am married to have few responsibilities we volunteered for including teaching the kids about drugs awayness.
I speak Armenian unless I am at work, even with the "non-Armenian" I am married to. Everyday, every time and all the time. Besides my brother and I, two sisters are married to Armenians, one from Michigan and resides there and the other from Armenia, family given nick name"Borat" looks just like him. Moved to Austin two years ago, A week After he married my sister. Thats why I was in Yerevan in 2006 with my entire family. Thats when my brother and I saw these nice apartments we are interested in. I spend more time with Armenians than anyone else.
Again, The fact that I was born in the greatest state of the Union has nothing to do with how much of an Armenian I am.
