this week has been interesting. i was in Stewart most of the week for my Grandma's funeral. She passed on Monday morning, i think. Apparently, my mom had been calling the house since 6am that morning to tell me, but i didn't pick up the phone until I woke up, which was around 10 am or so. the wake was on Thursday, which was harder to deal with than the actual funeral cause the body was just laying there. The hardest thing, however, was watching my Grandpa break down and sob every now and then. Ever since I was a little kid, I could only describe him as being very stern, cold, and on the brink of being an emotionless dick (at times). But he loved my Nanny. As the care taker at the cemetary started to put the casket in the ground, my Grandpa started to cry really hard and said "I'll never see her again." It was just so sad. I don't really know what else to say about it. The cemetary she was buried in is right on Jensen Beach. Seriously, when you go to the top of the hill where she was buried, all you see is the ocean. It's absolutely beautiful and I couldn't think of a better place for her.
After I got home on Friday, I stopped at my dad's place, changed my shoes, and went with everyone to see Deroot. It sucked, of course. I only went because there was nothing else to do and I really needed to get out of the house. After the show, I was sitting around waiting for Brandon and James when Jaki, Joey, Rina, and Geo came over and said hi as they were leaving. They start walking towards the escalator (sp??) and Joey turns around, yells out my name, and starts running towards me. I turned to Rina, who was just as confused as I was. Next thing I know, Joey fucking grabbed my face and kissed me. Rina looked just as shocked as I was, and still am. Only cause it's fucking JOEY, of all people. Weird stuff, man.
