While not a first generation immigrant child, I still appreciate Belushi: A Biography a lot because Belushi’s family life reminded me of my old home life before my mom and dad died. It also made me feel better about eating bigger portions too because like…. it isn’t just a me thing. It’s just how Mediterranean families eat KAKSJAKSJ

Not to mention Belushi himself reminds me so much of my dad I wouldn’t be surprised if his favorite actor was him. My dad was a big film nut and watched anything and everything that came out back then. Similar mannerisms, humor…

#john belushi #im sure theres other european countries who serve big portions and work like it’s their last meal #all chatting and stuff #but yknow #im a fourth gen sicilian and apparently every paternal generation before me had italian accents #idk reading about belushi’s family life bought me some comfort #even if im not albanian…. at least i dont think i am #i just think its cool other people live like i do #or used to #anyway #kitty speaks #i got reminded of how i accidentally ate a sleeve of crackers at like 10 years old when i was at my old babysitters house #i was just really hungry and wasnt paying attention cause i was doing homework #and she scolded me for it and what never left me was ‘ive never seen someone eat so much like you!’#as someone who was already bullied for being a big girl and eating big portions it gutted me for a few years lol
