okay so ummyeah thanks to to friendies of mine (Melissa & Jessica...) I started thinking about my family and how "normal" or "unnormal" they are... Honestly though what IS the NORMAL family??? What is normal? What type of family is considered "normal" in today's society??? eh...well I'll add more to this lata...
Lets see...My parents were married for almost 16 years..Would have been 17 this summer on July the twenty-fifth..But my mum passed away due to complications from a Stem-Cell Transplant..(Acutally her untimely passing was from a shot that HER parents gave her WITHOUT my father's consent... BUT more on that topic later...) I have a little brother and I live with him and my ass-hole father...My mom's side I would say I'm closer to them as a family side...(although neither side of my family cares for me to much it seems ya know...) My mum was an only child AND only grandchild...Her father, mother, and grandfather on her mum's side were all alcoholics...(though they all recovered later on in life...) In her early years she was abused during her father's drinking spells...My uncle on her side..My uncle Marvin..is a homosexual. Yet that doesn't bother me at all..In fact..I love him MORE than anyone else it seems...And same goes for Randy. his partner for twenty somefing years...My cousins Michael,Jimmy,Charles,Peggy,Robert,and a couple of others were all drug addicts..(with the exception of Michael who is in Jail for possesion and all that shit..and Peggy whom is addicted to prescription pills, mainly Oxycontin,Vicodin, and Xanax...) My great-grandmother was CRAZY..literally she was...she would try to kill her husband ever since she had her mental breakdown..and never recovered...but alas they are both desceased...R.I.P.
My Great-Aunt and Uncle are BOTH alcoholics...BIG TIME... Oh and my cousin Peggy spent time in prison for Assisting in a Murder or two... My mum USED to do drugs when she was in her teens (but so did my dad...) ummm...thats about it..
Dad's Side...hmmm..The Brocks not that much to say about them except for they are STUCK UP ASSHOLES..well the MEN are anyways...hmm my grandfather is on his FOURTH damn marriage and just happened to marry someone TWENTY YEARS YOUNGER (the age doesn't bother me though the next part does...) The awkward part..he has known her since she was FIVE and is best friends with her parents...hmmm yea...My Uncle Darrell just got out of Jail and finished his probation term for possestion of Crystal (i think) and Marijuana (I KNOW that one)...My uncle Wayne has been married twice and I CAN'T STAND his bitch of a wife now..She hates me and is ALWAYS trying to get the family to disown Summer and I...hmmm...My Great-Uncle Ronny STILL has Vietnam flash backs BAD!!!!!!!!!!!...and I can't stand him..he's way to two faced..hmmm...the Roeztels...they are ALL fucking Alcoholics...They either died from Liver problems...(hmmm WONDER WHY...), Suicide, or cancer and or heart problems...Mental Illness runs on BOTH sides of my family esp. Bi-polar,and SEVERE depression. My nana (dads mum..) was a slut in high school pretty much..thats all I know about her...That and she is CRAZY...mmmhmm...hmmm..........
...................................RELIGION..................................
My family tries to be all christian and stuff I suppose but yeah I dunno really considering yeah I'm not religious my self....(YES people I am Athiest...I usually don't tell people but oh well....) hmm the main religions in my family though are Baptist,Church of Christ, and Methodist...there is the occasional Catholic but that was WAY WAYYYYY back....lol...hmmm...
..................................schooling.............
Were aren't real educated people I guess you could say..hmmm my grandfather dropped out in eighth grade to SUPPORT his family..(mum, dad, and like four brothers and a sister or two...) hmmm..my cuz..Daniel...is like the first person to get a college degree on me dads side..(he better not fuck it up..ppl will be pissed HAHAHAHAAAAAAAA) hmmm..my mum's side..well she and my dad are both college drop outs...my great aunt linda went to college...but she is a dumb ass so it didn't do her anygewd..haha..
So..thats my family...not that interesting..and kinda fucked up..but then WHAT family isn't?????????????????????????????????? someone tellme....(remember Normal is in the eye of the beholder....)
