Ok so it's been like almost 3 or 4 months since I posted. Well I can't say I've been super busy. I have completely quit smoking even after a small time of being back on the wagon. The only reason I was smoking again was due to the fact that my fiancee had totaled her car. Now this is the same car she totaled two weeks after she bought it. She eventually found out she didn't have insurance (Long story involving family) and we had to get a loan to fix the car. So needless to say smoking seemed like the least of my worries at the time. I've weened myself off of World of Warcraft mostly because it's bad for the soul and it makes good people assholes. This might just be indicative of MMORPG's in general but I only have this experience to base it on. I still play from time to time but if I have to base the enjoyment of a game on the interaction with real people than more often than not they make it not worth playing. Well there is another reason I don't play but I'll touch on that later in this Blog.
So the coordination of the wedding plans have begun. We have reserved the hall for the wedding, the photographer and the DJ. We still need to see a florist and get Melissa a dress and me a tux. There is so much crap that goes into the preparation of a wedding. We have to plan the photographs with each family member and the song list for the DJ. There will be no Macarena, Electric Slide and Chicken Dance. I'm sorry if this offends some people but i have to have my standards.
Work has been a busy bunch of weeks. So much stuff seems to be falling on top of me from the clients. So many RUSH ads. But i did receive a nice raise from my annual review about three weeks ago. Now my actual review was supposed to be on March 26th but lets just leave it at that.
Well After Melissa's "on purpose" since it wouldn't have been her fault if it was an accident, we went over to the Saturn dealership and got a great lease on a brand new Ion. I highly recommend heading over to a Saturn Dealership if you're in the market for a new car. the whole experience was really refreshing! Melissa's birthday is coming up this month and I have gotten her some great presents. I spent WAY TOO MUCH on her but there was just so much cool stuff I found. I'll write what I got her in a protected update later on.
So I'm not talking to my brother currently. its been about 2 months since I've spoken to him. It's kind of hard to explain as to why i don't talk to him. But I'll give it a try. My brother, his girlfriend, my friend Mark and I had been playing World of Warcraft for about 2 and a half months. We were all at about level 32-35. We would get together and party almost every week and weekend. So About three days before i got pissed at my brother i was talking to Melissa's mom and she let me know that she plays World of Warcraft and was thinking about switching servers since the one she was on had a bunch of assholes. So i invited her over to my server and said that I was sure my brother, his girl and my friend Mark wold love to have another person that was cool to party with. But man was I wrong. So I ended up not playing the next night when Melissa's mom popped on and tried talking to my brother, his girl and Mark. First off my brother ignored her. Next my pal Mark talks to her a bit but doesn't think this person is really Melissa's Mom. So they all blow her off. I get an email the next day from her mom that asks me if she annoyed them all. I assured her it was just that i forgot to tell them about her coming over. Well Mark apologizes, but it still surprised me that he didn't help her out. i've known mark for a long time and he would help anyone if they needed it. But when i talked to my brother about it he called Melissa's mom a "Fucking Freak" and didn't care to be bothered with it. Well I did seem to care about it. So i just didn't talk to him and played the game from time to time and ignored his messages. He would from time to time try in his own way to apologize by saying classics like "Are you gonna keep ths shit up forever?" and "Dude I fucking apologized so WTF?" Now if he had actually apologized and used the word "I'm sorry." this would be a totally different situation. But my entire life my brother has said and done some horrible shit to me and the people I care about and he never apologizes. He just lays low for a little while then shows up and acts like nothing ever happened. Well I'm fed up with that shit. I know my brother and I don't see the point in explaining to him why I'm mad. He has never grown up enough to care about anyone else except for himself. I thought about how I can get him to realize how much of an ass he is and I knew anything i said would never sink in and would be a waste of my breath. So I just realized that the only way to stop him from doing and saying whatever he wants about the people i care about is to cut him out of my life. I'm not going out of my way to avoid him, and I'm trying not to involve anyone else in this. I have dealt with my asshole brother for far too long and I'm not wasting my time with him anymore.
Well I've written a lot so I'll leave this one for now. I'll pop back on later on tonight and write some more.
Take care all!
