about an hour ago, i caught my former ukulele teacher, hal, on facebook. he moved out to nova scotia about a month or so ago, and i wanted to catch up with him to see how his new life was going. unfortunately, this resulted in a conversation that has now left me feeling pretty frazzled. at the beginning of the conversation, he narrowed his reasons

Ukulele teacher, huh. How the word must twist his pink lips.

Sorry for how gross that must have felt, homie. Big props for trying to deal with it productively and without just throwing the appropriate emotions in the air. I'm sorry he wasn't interested in engaging.

this feels really strange to me because obviously i was supposed to understand your first statement but i don't. and i don't even know how to start. i'm sorry, i don't really catch your meaning

Sorry if I was abstruse! I just meant ukulele is hardly a lele white instrument itself, and the culture that we have to go through to get to it is (by now) indigenous to a place nearby to North America. That's all. I was thinking of getting comfy with an extracted aspect of native Hawai'ian culture, while being so discomfy with Native North Americans.
