A funeral, a discussion, an appointment, a new episode!!
My Internet has been down since Friday night, we got a new modem and it’s back up as of earlier today. Now my life can proceed as usual. With that said, I had a lot plans for this weekend that all changed because of a funeral. So Friday night my grandpa and aunt came down from Las Vegas. We went out to eat at Spaghetti Factory. The next day I had work at 7am and got to leave early because of the funeral. I get home and of course everyone is running late. For some reason we are always late to funerals. It’s very annoying because I am always ready to leave. It’s not only embarrassing being late to a funeral, which I don’t really care about, but its rude and insensitive. Needless to say we were late.
The afterparty or whatever you call it was nice. I got to spend some time with my grandpa and my aunts and uncles who are rarely all together at once. I also saw Brian and Jason who I haven’t seen in a long time. It was their Aunt Susan who died. My dad grew up living next door to Susan and Dana (Brian and Jason’s mom) and he was/still is best friends with Brian and Jason’s dad, Ron. When me and my brother were little it was so much fun to go hang out with them. In the summers we’d all go to the river together. I looked forward to that every summer. We eventually stopped going, and “the kids” slowly grew apart as we hung out less and less as the years went by. I don’t even really know Brian and Jason anymore, but its interesting to get together every once in a while to “catch up on old times” if you will. Most of the time I just kept thinking how bad I felt for Amanda (Susan’s 21 yr old daughter). Ok scratch that, I did think about that, but I mostly thought about how HOT Amanda was. Although I didn’t see her much when we were kids I always secretly had a crush on her. That was the first time I saw her since my sophomore year when we both went to senior prom with seniors, yea we were cool like that. But, it’s kinda sad. That whole family has always been on a downward spiral. Susan was a hardcore smoker and former heavy drinker, and heavy other shit that I’m not even sure about. This is the 2nd smoking related funeral I’ve been to in a row. She was only 43 and had a tumor in her tongue that spread. So anyways, her sister Dana=heavy smoker/drinker, Brian=heavy smoker/drinker, and then Amanda was at the afterparty smoking as well. Ok, I’ll admit, there was free booze and I bummed some cigarettes too, but I don’t make a habit of it. I don’t know where I’m going with this, but its just unfortunate I guess.
On a lighter note I went to the Dr today and had good blood pressure and got recommended to take some supplemental vitamin stuff to help me sleep better. I also have an appointment to get “tested” cuz all that sex I’ve been having is getting me concerned.. haha, yea really.
Oh yea about Easter. I went to mom’s parents house and the night ended with a discussion about religion. Me against my grandparents and my grandma’s sister. Basically they are all convinced of their faith and I’m an inquisitive skeptic who doesn’t blindly rule out everything else in this world. But, as far as I felt, the convo wasn’t destructive or hurtful in anyway. At the end my aunt hugged me and said she’d pray for me. That’s good right? Haha.
On the BEST note. Desperate Housewives was finally new last night!! It’s about friggin time. Seven New episodes in a row. Woot woot!!
