Time to bitch! Wooo
Okay, so. Wow.
My cousins = fucking annoying.
As I was sitting at the table, and Sam (the worst one), Sat accross from me and started talking.
He asked where David (my brother was.) I said, "Apple River."
Sam: Parying it up?
Me: I don't know. He already made plans to go there before he knew about the wedding.
Sam: Does he still got those chains?
Me: Huh?
Sam: You know, those chains, like I used to have?
(I give him a puzzled look, aka What the fuck are you talking about?)
Sam: You know, when I was into drugs and partying, my old lifestyle. Where you are searching for something to fill that void?
Me: No, I don't think David's like that. He doesn't use it to fill a void.
Sam: How about you? Do you have that in your life? That void filled up?
(Or something along those lines.)
Me: Yeah, and I don't need alcohol or drugs for it.
Sam: It's not just alcohol and drugs. People use other things to fill that void. It's not just drugs; it's anything that keeps you from your personal relationship with God.
He proceeded to ask me questions about this. Asked when I was moving. And where I would be living. I said Minneapolis.
He said there's this really good group Thursday nights at this church on Cedar Ave. He said he'd get ahold of me about it. He also said, if I want a more personal relationship with God, that's the place to go.
Hmm, I think I'll "have class" Thursday nights. TOo bad!
After Chad and I gave our speeches/toasts, they invited other people to talk. Corey talked first. A long speech.
About how he and Jeff started their drinking careers together. And had dreams of being rock stars.
Long story short, he said these desires got them no where. And now that they've found Christ, they are really living. Or something along those lines.
Long, sappy speech.
And, after this, I went outside the shelter to the park and talked to Jason (Jeff's brother), Janae (Jason's wife), and Nanci about it. It was too much for all of them. Jason asked me where I found Jesus. I couldn't think of anything witty, so I said I don't know. I asked him and he said, "The Hardee's parking lot."
I said, "Did you guys see Sam's shirt yesterday?" (It's the red coke parody I posted a couple days ago.) We joked about it. Then, Jason said, "What about the one Jeff was wearing yesterday? 'Help Wanted' 'Workers for Christ'. Haha." Then Sean, Jeff's little brother who is about 13, said, "Yeah, he's poor, he has to make his own Jesus shirts!" It was really funny.
I'm going to be more of a bitch to them next time they try to push me.
They are too fucking pushy.
And I will end with a clip of lyrics:
"Some words of advice,
Maybe you've heard them before,
But here goes.
Just be true to yourself,
If it lands you in Hell,
Well at least now you know.
Loud and clear is your heart,
Thick and broad are the places
You might some day go."
