Say it Ain't So.

Woohoo. Just got home from dinner with the fam at Nagoya for Russell's 26th birthday. Wow, he's getting old. It was weird... but not really. We all got along well and all that great stuff. A lot of times when I talk to my mom now, I sit there and think about her a long time ago. I mean, I try to remember what she was like back then. She was like 30 (9 years older than I am now) and running around taking care of me and Russell. It must be weird to talk to your kids when they're grown up. For so long your conversations consist of Sesame St. and learned ABC's... and now we talk about war and politics and controversial issues. I remember when I believed everything my mom believed and if I actually started to stray from that, I felt weird. It was like I was letting her down or something. Now we disagree on many things and I'm fine with that... and to a certain degree, I think she is, too. Wow.

Tonight I found out that my name was going to be Sean Christopher McElreath. See, the technology wasn't all that wonderful back in 1981 and they thought I was going to be a boy. Actually, my mom liked that name but my dad thought it sounded "gay," and he wanted to name me Robert. Uh, no thanks. It's funny how things turn out.

Yeah, I don't want to study anymore. Not that I've studied a whole lot anyway. I just don't want to do it period. Crapola. I'm having a good hand day.

Hm... anything else I have to say? I'm not sure. I've been feeling very nostalgic lately. Thinking about all the what could've beens and should've beens. I'm kinda happy where I am right this moment. Life is good. I just hope and pray that it stays this way.
