Family vacations: fun at the beginning... a drag by the end....
it started out in mendocino... at my brother's girlfriends house... her parents grow olives.. and i loves me some olives... lots of beautiful rocks...good times had and im glad my brother brought weed.
next we went to arnold... some little town in the mountains. population 237. snow snow snow... went sledding and had a big family snowball fight... saw susperia... a terribly good 70s horror flick. again... thank you brother for the smokable drugs...
this is where it changes.... a 5 hour car ride with my siblings and their significant others... now, i am the baby of the family... (my bro and sis are 10 and 8 years older than me)... but i dont feel like a baby anymore... that is until i am trapped with them reminding me of my family status... so then im told that i look like tom petty and my brother proceeds to sing Wont back down in its entirety... fuck... i know this doesnt sound so bad but i havent felt a need to escape like that since, well... new york... <---totally different story. anyway... i am left feeling beat up once again by my stranger of a brother and longing for my own personal companion... one of my choice... which starts me thinking... and my longing for a companion never gets me anywhere good... on top of this.. i have a serious head cold with an unrelenting beating headache.
so finally the car ride is over and we're in san francisco... we go out to dinner and im in a horrific mood... i slip a "fuck off" to my dad (which was tearily taken back this morning)...and fall asleep in a quite luxurious hotel bed...
so here i am... camped out in the hotel with a cold... all the couples off doing their own thing in their own time in their own space, man...there's a soul party going on tonight for new years... im trying to put this funk behind me...
here's my plan... suck it up and get totally fucking wasted.... this trip will be over tomorrow.
