What do ya know, Im actually going to talk about stuff thats happening in my life as opposed to just rambling about meaningless bullshit. Here goes.
Remember my brother? The one thats getting a divorce but hes not really telling anyone why? Well, I e-mailed him. Not a very long e-mail. About 3 sentences. Pretty much just asking him what was going on. I eluded to the divorce but didnt come right out and say it. This is what he wrote me:
How is it going? I have been very busy doing military funerals as the officer in charge. Otherwise, everything is pretty normal. What's new with you? When are you coming this way?
Guess he doesnt want to talk about it. Im not going to lie and say I dont care but Im not going to force the issue. Weve never had a serious conversation unless it was him telling me what I need to do with my life so why should we start now? I know youre probably thinking Its never too late or something like that but the truth is hes a grown man and hes going to do what hes going to do. I dont want to talk him out of getting a divorce, if hes not happy, hes not happy. I just want him to give a better explanation than the one that he gave his wife. (Hes just tired of being married.) She deserves better than that and so does his son.
At first he wasnt going to be home for Thanksgiving dinner but then about a week before he calls and says he wants to have a dinner with just the immediate family. (My parents, my 2 older brothers, me, and my younger sister.) I already told my parents I wasnt going to make it but they called me again to tell me this assuming that this will persuade me to drop everything I was doing. It would have been nice, seeing as I dont remember the last time all six of us were in the same room together. The last time I when home was in March and my second oldest brother was in jail and only me, my mom, my aunt and grandmother when to see them. Before March it had been 2 years since I had been home. Wow, its been at least 3 years since the 6 of use have been together in the same room. This will be the 3rd Thanksgiving in a row and this Christmas will be the 4th.
There are certain parts of my life that I keep hidden from certain people. The people I work with dont know about my home life, my roommates know nothing about my family life, you guys dont know a whole lot about my day to day life. For instance, my father just found out that I have an album on the web from my sister. My sister, who happens to be the closest person to me, didnt know until about a few weeks ago. Do you know how awkward it is to explain to my Bible thumping father my not so Christian lyrics? Those words are a little strong arent they? Um... no? I explained that there are no sexually explicit lyrics and Im not killing anyone and thank God my parents have always been supportive of everything Ive attempted even if they didnt agree. For instance they own my first book but my dad attempted to read it and said he couldnt understand it. I know they haven't read it because each chapter is a different emotion and the depression chapter sometimes even scares me. So I know they havent read it. If you think thats awkward check out an e-mail I just received yesterday: Tonight, your Dad told me how to look up your C D. I will try to find it. Can I find it in the bookstore? I will let you know if I find it on the computer. Love,Grandma. Oh my God! What am I going to do?
Went to see this chick perform saturday. A friend of mine happens to be best friends with her and shes just starting out. She really good. Also, Im pretty sure I got the eye when my friend introduced us. But Im not very good at those types of things so she might have just been cross eyed of something.
Just finished watching Pee-Wees Big adventure for the first time in about 13 years. The writing of Phil Hartman and Paul Reubens, The music of Danny Elfman and the direction of Tim Burton = American Movie Classic. That right I said it! What!
Do you know where you are? I dont remember. Do you know your name? I dont remember. Do you remember anything? I... remember... the Alamo.
I always felt bad for Dotty. She really wanted some Pee Wee and probably never got it. I would have given her some not so Pee Wee. Alllllllll Right! Giggidy Giggidy Giggidy.
