Weekend Highlight

This was just so cool that despite half of you knowing about it I'd like to post it.

So my Uncle Bill, who serves in the Marine Corps, just finished his two years of service in Okinawa. He came back and had heart surgery in California, then from there he came to Pennsylvania on Tuesday to visit. HOWEVER I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS, because communication in this family sucks. A lot. But on Friday my mother booted me out of the house because after her shift at Arirang (the Hibachi restaurant she now works at) she wanted to have over a "male guest." I cleaned up the house Friday night and then was picked up around 7. I answered the door and LO BEHOLD it was some man... that I thought I recognized, but couldn't place the face. Gasp! It was my Uncle Bill. The Country-Serving, video game playing, anime watching BADASS. Who had just served two years in JAPAN. That night we went out to the 24/7 WalMart and searched the electronics section. He spoke how he had 2 iPods and an iPod touch. I gasped, and exclaimed he was crazy. I didn't even have a dinky $30 MP3 player and he had a handful of iPods.
On Saturday I ran around helping out at a picnic at my G-ma's work (Livingrin, drug rehab facility). And I left with my G-pa to go drop off the little cousins. For some reason it took forever for my G-ma and Uncle to get back from the picnic (they left before us). When my Uncle pranced in he handed me a small bag with a kitten on it with some purple tissue paper on it. "Happy Late Birthday. I know I missed the majority of them." and inside I found a purple iPod Nano. I was speechless. And excited. I feel a bit spoiled because of it, and just. Wow. Shocked? Surprised?
My Uncle just doesn't stop being a badass every day. I need to do something awesome for him.
