What'd you just say?

This is going to sound a little goofy, but I really hate the way that cursing works here. (I don't do it, but it's hard for me to adjust to.) Basically, you know how we use swear words, but then there's a sensored, polite word which conveys the same feeling only in a more appropriate way? For instance, someone who would yell "shit" might choose to yell "shoot" in the prescence of children or depending on the environment etc. Well here, instead of changing the word they change the tone- and this changes the meaning. So for instance, "mierda" is the equivalent of "shit". If someone like says it loudly or in an angry-ish tone, its a swear. But if they just say 'mierda' it's like the same as saying shoot, or darn. Which with that word it's fine, because I feel like it's more socially acceptable to say that in conversation. But, when my host-siblings are dropping words that in my head are translating to the f-bomb, and son-of-a-b...it's a weird experience...I literally gasped the other night at dinner, because I was shocked...But really I just had misjudged the tone, so that one was my bad... they also both like to just put up their middle fingers randomly during meal-times, and the parents look right at them and don't do anything...so I don't exactly know what's going on with that, but it seems really weird to me.

Completely unrelated: every day on my way to and back from school I pass this homeless man who is playing his violin. He legitimitely is one of the best violinists (?) I think I have ever heard in my life! He is definitely a trained musician, and it just really blows my mind how good he is...I almost want to just pay him and then ask him about his life, because I don't understand how someone that good is homeless. I honestly feel like this is some undercover study on how people treat homeless people or something, because he really should be in like an orchestra...(symphony? mmm, I feel like I should know the difference...whichever one has violinists he should be in....) It makes me really sad though to see people who are really talented to be living in the streets...Those are the people I really want to help, but I feel useless. So if anyone has a need for a really talented violinist, let me know...I'll hook you up! Or if you have any ideas on how I can make a dent in the homelessness problem, also let me know!

Welp, it's homework time!!
Hasta pronto!
