today, I woke up at 6AM to work a 7-hour shift at work. unless someone else wants to hang out, I plan on utilizing my day reading history homework, watching tv, and existing. pretty standard kristen day, sans the 6AM part.
today, my dad is attending a funeral for a co-worker's daughter. she was riding motorcycles with her dad, something hit her, and in the blink of an eye, her father was being forced to watch her death right before his own eyes. today is the saddest day on earth for that family.
and today, brandon hegland is getting married.
just like when he signed up for the marines, he has no idea what he's doing. one day when he's out of the service, it'll hit him that he's happier chasing skirts, and won't want to be tied down when he's finally free. I am boycotting his wedding partly because of his ignorance... I can't support a marriage that I know is doomed to fail. and after not seeing him or talking to him for so long, and after having all my attempts at communication ignored, I can't bear to look at him sincerely and honestly congratulate him on his marriage. I don't think I will ever be speaking to brandon hegland ever again. we're obviously on two very different paths in life.
so, which would I choose for my day... burying my daughter, throwing my life away, or waking up early for a menial job and having a dull saturday?
really puts things in perspective.
work,
death,
brandon
